Do not underestimate the Pit-Man' s psychological influence over Jones. It is strong! That is what the Pit-Man does. He got these kids to commit to HIM not necessarily the UGA program. Thus the problem. He is like a football Pied Piper. Loyalty stretches as far as the next job...so you try and take players with you. Do not be surprised if Jones shows at UGA in body only. I hope I am dead wrong about this. What a shame it would be to lose the best OT out there. Hopefully, Broderick's family ties in Georgia (near Athens) will override the spell the Pit-Man has over these kids...and UGA signee Darnell Washington will be talking with him as well. The Pit-Man is aggressively recruiting...know it! He knows UGA has a much better program.
Washington looks like a grown man standing next to a JR. High kid in that picture. Beast!
Jones is all Dawg as the loss of the O-Line members to the draft and the Auburn O-Line coach leaving-He is 100% Dawg.
Yikes, why would anyone from Georgia consider playing for Arkansas? Pittman is a fun guy, but a very mediocre on field coach and my money says he will not succeed as a head coach. I think we all saw that play out in the Sugar Bowl when Luke took over a depleted OL and did a great job. Pittman was popular, but not because of his coaching prowess.
Yes, thank you! I swear, judging by the reactions on this site yesterday, you'd think the program disbanded.
If we get Jones and he reaches his potential quick, I.think we have a good shot at winning SECC no matter who the qb is. Defense is going to awesome and I honestly think the o-line be just as good as this years and I have no doubt they will play a more inspired brand of line play with Luke fueling the flames.
Come start at LT or RT preferably LT Jones ! Let the new era of Dawgs start!
One thing stories like this does is generate hits. Another is generate comments. Both are relished by sports writers, and we love staying on top of things, so thanks. Still, in light of that, things are rarely as bad as they seem when being bombarded by what seems to be plethora of bad news. Consider the number of four and five star offensive linemen we still have, or the elite defensive players we just signed, let alone the wide receivers, as well as the stud tight end we signed last month. Our well stocked cupboard insures there are no lean times in the offing. GO DAWGS!!!
I still like UGA's chances with Broderick. Luke really started a fire under the makeshift OL line up, and got the most out of them in short order.
After the way Pittman's line under-performed, considering the talent, I really think Luke did more with less in the Sugar Bowl.
Athens is calling...
Kirby , Matt Luke....GET THIS RECRUIT!!!!!!!! A must!!!!! You do not want to play against this guy.....he is a bull! Quick, strong and directs traffic!!! SIGN HIM!
Arkansas = Dumpster Fire, Auburn = No OL coach, UGA = Perfection. I have no doubt he signs with UGA.
