Re: RBU Super Bowl LIII Gurley vs Michel
If this doesn't let us pick which ever 5* RB we want then those kids are crazy.

He looks a lot like James cook, besides the same number. I went and watched his tape. James cook looks a lot better in my opinion. I’m not saying we don’t need him or want him.I understand best possible player, but I also believe in understanding what you have. “The Freak” position should already be accupied by James cook.
The kid looks really shifty and really fast but at some point don’t we need to fill some other roles? We are RBU for a reason. No need to stretch.
2nd string Freak ?
Probably going to see cook in the slot more next season
Would love to start transitioning Cook to a specialty role. While others have obviously had it, his legs scare me to the point where I don't think he can be the all around type back even if he puts strength on. It wouldn't be to the extent of Samuel/Harvin but can see 70 rushes/25 catches for him this season potentially.
I wouldn't mind taking MAR, but he's not a MUST if you feel good about your standing with 2020 class backs. It seems like the finish in the class that would probably be best case scenario is Elam/Seither/Pickens.
Re: Big Recruiting weekend
The big thing for McBride at the jump was his position fit in college.
He was an ILB but was more of a turn and chase or a run-and-chase 'backer than a natural downhill "A" and "B" gap plugger with his run fits. I'm not describing natural a sideline-to-sideline ILB here either.
He was such an athlete and a worker in HS. Was a really coachable kid as well. I thought that he could make that transition, but it seems like that's an issue along with the clearly-defined notion there are now a lot of impact ILBs in Athens.
My latest count now has seven players at ILB who rated as a Top 10 recruit at their position coming out of HS.

Big question here: Where does he fit into the class?I think there are 2-3 slots left here for 2019.
Elam
Seither
Richards
Cross....and then there's the mercurial George Pickens question. Those seem like the names to think about to close out 2019.
But what about Plumlee? That's a 2020 accounting question for the time being in my mind.
IYO, what impact does wanting to play RB have on his chances of being in class?

Huge fan of Eason. Word was that he was kind of a douchebag in Athens, but my friends and I only had positive interactions with him. I look forward to seeing him play in the league one day.
He wasn’t a diva on the field or with Fromm during a tough time for him.....unlike someone else.
You didn’t see Eason, a big 5 star recruit, whining and b$tching on the sidelines or after games.
Re: A liberal's perspectvive on Justin Field's transfer waiver
Well, this thread went downhill...
Re: Grayson Watson steps down
Like him or not. Anti-UGA or not. Kudos to that man for his help sending 111 kids off to college on scholarship. That’s really impressive.
Re: Looks like their learning allot at the UGA
So if the baseball player got kicked off the baseball team and kicked out of UGA for what he said... why does this guy still have a job?
Re: Looks like their learning allot at the UGA
Wow. Looks like EVERY white athlete in any sport at UGA could now transfer out and play immediately at the next school.
