If you have any questions for me this week, please put them in this post. Normally I do mailbags as a separate post on Thursdays, but because of signing day responsibilities there won't be one this week. But happy to answer your questions here!

Academically they were no longer freshmen. Same as at Alabama. But at Clemson, for what it's worth, freshmen can speak to the media after they've played in a game. So no spring or preseason interviews, but once the season starts and they play they can speak.

Thats the way it should be! Sometime THE PROCESS is too cute for its own good

In response, I saw someone float the idea (in the tweet below) that UGA take up voluntary contributions at G-Day to support the Gales family. Do you think this idea would be possible? Obviously would require buy-in from the UGA Athletic Association. https://twitter.com/PeachsInGa/status/825739177010536450

If we fill the house again on G-Day and charge $10 a head plus have donation buckets available that would solve the problems with getting the house built and would go a long way towards the ongoing travel/rehab expenses. I hope someone can make that happen.

Agreed - one problem was on the day they had the Devon Gales press conference (hosted by David Pollack) and the announced the sale of the Gales shirts (with the Georgia G) their website crashed due to volume. I went back and ordered one days later but as you can imagine this probably cost them thousands of dollars in lost donations.
I don't think DawgNation would have any trouble paying $10 a head to attend G-Day - especially if the money was going to such a good cause, for an adopted Dawg!
