Caleb Williams: No. 1 junior QB has LSU, UGA and four others in mind
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Caleb Williams. That's the guy at quarterback in 2021. For a lot of big-name schools. There is no bigger target for the Bulldogs in the 2021 recruiting class than Williams. Georgia has been and continues to be in the race for the 5-star QB. Williams said offensive coordinator James Coley has let him

I am perfectly fine with UGA going all-in on a special QB like Williams. Get him on campus, take the chance on losing a few games his Freshman year and start him unless there is a VERY special talent already ahead of him. All due respect to Beck, Mathis and Bennett-they currently do not appear to be that guy. Good but not great at QB should not be our MO. Good hasn't been good enough for UGA. BAMA and Clemson do not settle for good at the most important position in all of sports!
“I know that I have certain abilities, I believe myself, that even though I am in high school that [Jake] Fromm doesn’t have,” Williams said. “No offense to Fromm. Fromm is a wonderful guy. He’s the smartest guy that I have seen offensive wise. But he can’t move as much. So they don’t do as much.”
Markdawg is spot on....This kid is egocentric! Waiting until HE says yes or no could be a bitter pill for UGA. Could miss many other candidates. You gonna tell them you are waiting for Caleb Williams before selecting??? 2021 is a ways down the road coaches....why wait that long for this kid>? He'd hit the transfer portal at first let down or problem. I am not saying he does not have talent!!!
There is believing in yourself and then there is egotism. Not sure how these guys are not going to believe they are better than they really are when everyone is blowing them up with "You're the guy."
As he said, “No offense to Fromm” I say “No offense to Caleb Williams” but that clip shows me that he is playing against a bunch of slow, smallish high schoolers. And, why in the hell would we make him such a priority as to not go after another QB just so he could play out his recruitment to the very end. Makes no sense to me. Wanna be a Dawg, be a Dawg but enough with the games from eighteen year olds! Go Dawgs!
No more letting these big fish go elsewhere. The really do need to be all in on this guy.
No longer all the eggs in one basket and go get the Georgia kid who just decommitted from Oklahoma.
Did we seriously not learn a lesson with the other 5* QB who transferred?
What if Fromm stays next year? What if Fromm leaves and Carson Beck absolutely kills it?
Seriously, there is a difference in wanting a recruit badly and wanting him so bad that you tell him something like they did and he tells it for all the world to hear. That really makes Coley look bad IMHO.
Best of luck in your decision young man..GoDAWGS!
Brock to UGA is still a strong possibility! Vandagriff and Caleb Williams are the big fishes we are looking at.
"Vandagriff lives 14 miles from the University of Georgia, and as he said in the interview, Georgia would be the favorite should he de-commit."
These young high schoolers change their minds all the time. He is already talking with Florida. You will have to work on this one coaches. He is quite the catch.
Time to move on writers!!!
Hold on, everybody. This kid says the coaches told him they would not accept a commitment from another QB until hearing from him. But what did the coaches actually say to him? Of course, they can't talk about an unsigned kid, but we just don't know. Maybe they actually said, "we'll wait as long as we can on you," which is not the same as saying "we'll wait indefinitely." Or maybe they said, "we'll wait but before we accept another commitment, we'll let you know." I mean, there could be all sorts of little nuances and discussions in the actual conversations he's had with our coaches. I'm not getting my hopes up because when a kid this talented has this many schools on his radar, I always think UGA is just being thrown in there for the mix, like Notre Dame and Southern California in the old days.
But it's hard for me to believe UGA would turn away Brock Vamdagriff if he expressed a desire to sign with the Dawgs! Then again, I wouldn't have believed Matt Landers would have caught a TD pass in the Sugar Bowl, either, so I guess anything is possible. Go Dawgs!
