SCHEDULED DECISION ANNOUNCEMENTS

List of prospects who have scheduled announcements.The percentage is my confidence on a recruit committing to listed school.

 

Announcements at the Under Armour All-American Game:

Jan. 1st – DeAngelo Gibbs – 2017 DB (early enrollee) – 95% UGA

Jan. 1st – Xavier McKinney – 2017 DB (early enrollee) – 95% Clemson

 

Announcements at the U.S Army All-American Game:

Jan. 7th – Jeffrey Okudah – 2017 DB (early enrollee) – 90% Ohio State

 

No Scheduled Announcements:

Could announce before January 1st:

Tray Bishop – 2017 DB – Decommitted from Auburn on Tuesday 12/13. 75% he flips to UGA, but Florida is also a possible landing spot.

Eric Stokes Jr. – 2017 CB – 95% sure he picks UGA if there is room, but I’m 50/50 on if there is an open spot for him at the moment.

Leonard Warner – 2017 ILB – 95% UGA. He could wait till NSD to announce his decision, but I don’t think he will.

Most likely will announce after January 1st:

Markaviest Bryant – 2017 WDE. 95% UGA. He could announce anytime between now and NSD.

Ameer Speed – 2017 CB – 90% Virginia Tech, 10% UNC. He could announce anytime between now and NSD.

Tyler Taylor – 2017 ILB – 50% UGA, 35% Oklahoma, 15% Auburn. He could announce anytime between now and NSD.

  1. PTCDawg

    I am really surprised at Deshaun Watson being projected as a 3rd round draft pick. Part of that is being attributed to the offense they run at Clemson. I would have thought that would be a red flag to a qb aspiring to the NFL.

      1. PTCDawg

        He was expected to be an early first round pick at the beginning of the year but apparently this year hasnt gone well in the eyes of the draft people. some had him as low as the 4th round and none higher than 2nd. In the particular one I just read it has him as the 4th QB on the board. they also mention his size as a negative. I’m a bit surprised that comes up for a guy that’s 6’2″ and very athletic.

    2. Blakedawg01

      That sounds about right…he has thrown way too many interceptions the last 2 years. He has unbelievable talent but he is another scrambler. However, if he makes it to the 3rd round, the Falcons should consider taking him to develop behind Matt Ryan.

        1. PTCDawg

          I got my daughter a baseball jersey for Christmas with the words “I used to have a life but now I go to law school”. This makes me laugh because she often talks about how how her life now pretty much consists of studying, going to class, sleeping and eating.

  8. Bansai Buckeroo

    Ok guys… Who thinks Dom Sanders comes back? I think he’s projected middle rounds in the draft. Said he will make a decision after the bowl game. I think he needs to stay and probably will….

      1. Bansai Buckeroo

        I think he could help himself if he stayed but who knows what’s going on in his mind. Could be something going on I’m not aware of. Anyway we will know shortly.

        1. PTCDawg

          I agree BB. He could go but I think he has better reasons to stay than the guys who have already said they would stay.

        2. BroDawg

          I think he would be smart to stay but if he was staying I think he would have already announced. I’m curious if he could be the “Jr” who had some issues with his grades??? I hope not and hope he stays.

      1. BroDawg

        He appears to me like a guy who has to be in control… He has also previously acknowledged that it’s unrealistic for anyone to expect him to win a natty every single year. The guy is 65 and I would think he really does know that the dynasty will eventually fall and even the best can’t stay on top forever… so why not control when you exit.. and why allow yourself to be questioned as losing the “IT”… Being perceived as forever unbeatable seems like it would closely align with his personality. Just my take though. He may be around another 10 years

    2. Bulldawg Bob

      That is an awesome idea, but something tells me that would probably require one of those 7 figure donations to the UGAAA

    WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Joni Taylor Post-Western Carolina Game Press Conference by BD Illustrated ON-AIR

    The Georgia women’s basketball team came back from Christmas break and hosted Western Carolina for a Wednesday afternoon tip off. The Lady Bulldogs dominated the Catamounts on their way to a 78-43 victory. Head Coach Joni Taylor talks bout how the team responded in their win after dropping 3 of their last 5 games before the break, and are the Lady Bulldogs ready for conference play which will begin on New Year’s Day on the road versus Missouri.

      1. BroDawg

        He’s a good coach.. IMHO he got in a rut and allowed his good side to not speak up when the bad side needed to.

  18. RedDawg13

    Here is my take! Of course it is aided by Pyrat Rum and Tecate! As far as I am concerned 2016 football season ended with the loss to GT! I know it is still 2016 but our bowl game is my beginning for next year!

    2. MMCSDAWG

      And we need to start our next season on a positive note. Looking at the sec east. There is absolutely no reason we should not challenge for the division next year. I know our OL will be young but we will also have some serious senor leadership in chubb michel etc. Go Dawgs

        1. BroDawg

          Chubb has had a year to knock out the mental cobwebs. .. I predict we see a guy running with a mission in the bowl game

      2. Gadawg1757

        Hello MMC. I am a new poster as of today, but been a listener for several years. Army vet and LOYAL Dawg fan. Also a neighbor from New Smyrna Beach.

        1. MMCSDAWG

          Welcome aboard! Enjoy the army victory while you can it ain’t happening for another 10+years lol! I like new Smyrna fishing is really good!

            1. MMCSDAWG

              Yep. Good Intercoastal and deep water fishing out of New Smyrna! You should come down and fish a little!

            3. Doradawg

              I live in Mt Dora, about 45 minutes from New Smyrna but fish Mosquito Lagoon frequently for Redfish, Snook etc. Usually leave out of JB’s Fishcamp and have used a couple of really good guides that know the waters and put you on fish. Let me know if you want names/contact info and I’ll send to you.

    2. Bansai Buckeroo

      I think Bishop is a dawg silent or otherwise. Gibbs? I don’t know. Not to sure he isn’t Bama bound. Hope like heck I’m wrong.

    3. Bulldawg Bob

      Gibbs has practically lived in Athens on the weekends with Richard LeCounte III if that tells you anything.

        1. Bulldawg Bob

          LOL. Except that was Auburn and Davis didn’t have LeCounte keeping him grounded. Not saying Alabama isn’t threat, but that would be a bigger shock that Monty Rice choosing LSU to me.

            1. Bulldawg Bob

              I think so too. Question is, though, is there room to flip Rice if he wanted to come to Georgia now. I hope so.

            2. BroDawg

              See we’ve had this discussion before… I am a believer that CKS knows there is additional unacknowledged movement and we end up signing 25-26.

      2. Bansai Buckeroo

        Bob it tells me he likes LeCounte. Can you say EJ Price? Lived at Georgia too. Hope you are right btw.

        1. Bulldawg Bob

          Please don’t compare Gibbs to Price because that is a totally different situation all together. You couldn’t pick two more different people and recruitments.

            1. Bulldawg Bob

              Hahahaha. I hear you. I tell you what. I’ll owe you a meal on NSD if Gibbs chooses Bama over Georgia. 🙂

            2. BroDawg

              Count me in on that deal.. we owe you if it goes in our favor… speaking of which.. I’d like to come to NSD this year as long as I am in town. But where is it going to be held?

            3. Bulldawg Bob

              We still are ironing out where to hold NSD in Athens, but I expect us to know something not long after the bowl game, hopefully that first week in January. I want to give people as much notice as possible.

            4. BroDawg

              A tailgating thing would be cool if we are still having 70 degree weather… but I guess Internet would be an issue

            5. Bulldawg Bob

              It would, but it would also be a little risky to hope for 70 degree weather in Athens on February 1st even though it is quite possible with the kind of weather we have had this winter.

            1. Bulldawg Bob

              His recruitment was almost as strange as D-Robs. I think Price has all the talent in the world but ain’t all together right upstairs or something.

            3. Bulldawg Bob

              You got that right. Coach Smart looked like he was ready to fight somebody during the late afternoon NSD presser. He didn’t call out Price specifically but alluded to wanting to sign more o-linemen for 2016 and they thought they had one more because he was told they were good, and then it ended up playing out differently than what he was told. Not to hard to figure out he was referring to Price.

            4. BroDawg

              Agree…. the deal with DROB was he just wanted to be in California but enjoyed the courting. Stanford fell through so he found another West Coast school

      3. Gadawg1757

        Gibbs for those reasons and a gut feeling, I think is all dawg. Bryant is a dawg because of his cootie.

        1. Bansai Buckeroo

          JK36 has been in a foul mood since the Tech game. It’s either that or the new baby is colicky and he’s not getting any sleep…maybe both..####…:-)

  21. Joseph Kennedy

    Richt got lucky this time.. Because WVU doesn’t have a guy remotely as talented as Pat White and Slayton. I will never forget that 2006 sugar bowl. Was a horrible game.

    2. Gadawg1757

      My wife works close to UCF and the traffic from that game made her 45 minute drive to New Smyrna Beach an hour and a half.

  24. Bulldawg Bob

    I feel bad for Stanley because I thought he would have a breakout year. Just never happened. Hopefully, he can turn things around.

      1. Bulldawg Bob

        Aye. If he is finally 100% healthy from that high ankle sprain he suffered earlier in the year and tweaked again during the season, they might be able to do that. Plus, he is a good run blocker.

    1. Bahits

      And recruits have an interesting reply; #48 ranking, 0 5*s, 1 4*, 12 3*s

      You almost just have to love the school (legacy, girlfriend there, or parent works there) to get suckered into that mess.

            2. Joseph Kennedy

              I will. It was time for Richt to go. If kirby ain’t the one then we will move on from him as well.

    2. WaterlooDawg

      I think he had a yard and half to catch that. He didn’t get hit until the ball bounced off his chest.
