Akiba Gilbert, mother of 5-star Arik Gilbert, breaks down his decision day
The nation's No. 1 TE Arik Gilbert is set to make his college decision today. Where does UGA stand? What about Alabama? Akiba Gilbert, his mother, broke all of that down.

We have a talented, fast, 6'5" 245 lb TE on the roster right now who seldom gets his number called.
Charlie Woerner #89
A whole bunch of wasted ink. He’s not coming to UGA.
Sounds like his mother is a smart lady, she has raised him right and trusts him to make a mature decision. Best of luck to her and Arik no matter which school he chooses, I know he will do well in life and that is the ultimate goal for us all isn't it? As always, Go Dawgs!
Why would he come to the Dawgs? We are using the TE even less then with the previous OC. It will be sad to lose such a talent
I was convinced that he wasn't coming to UGA until I saw that thing in there that his mind still wasn't made up as late as Tuesday night. I thought that it was and that's the reason he was making the announcement today. But what makes me think maybe not UGA, and this will seem odd, is what his mother said about why UGA got the last visit. She said they did it out of respect for UGA, not because he was so excited about being at UGA, but it's like, "before we deal you this death blow, we want to be sure we keep our word and give you this final visit." So it all boils down to a big fat, I just don't know. I do feel strongly that it's down to UGA and Bama, though. Does Coley's comments about playing "at home" make a difference? I hope so, but so many, lately, have overlooked that. So I guess we'll find out at 6 p.m. Eastern. Go Dawgs!
His number is called quite often. Unfortunately it is to block, or Fromm is just too scared to throw it over the middle.
Now out of his choices : 1- Ga.- may or may not have Fromm next year. But it may or may not be a good thing.
2- Ala and LSU- neither qb will be there next year. Lsu backup? Who is it? Ala back up - did anyone watch him play against TN? If he comes off the bench against GA, we win both of them.
3- Clemson - definitely only 1 year. After that, who knows
4- A&M- Mond will probably not get drafted, so he may play 2 more years, I think he is a soph now. Jimbo does use TE's.
His choice is going to come down to where he feels comfortable, I believe. But, this is just my opinion.
Go Dawgs.
We don't really have a tight end with the athletic gifts that AG has. Woerner has not had a good season even as a blocker. Wolf has been inconsistent. Few others have even gotten a look. I think if AG were a part of the 2019 class he would be playing 35-40 reps a game as a freshman. He's that kind of talent. I would love for him to come to GA but I never thought he would. I think GA could make use of his talents but it is his decision. I'll respect it.
Ummm, all y’all saying we don’t throw to TEs, look up catches by Bama TEs. They don’t, either.
Just win a NC and we can get whoever we want
Why would a tight end come to Georgia. They can show you all they want, but you just look at how they have been used over the last 4 years.
