Insiders saying we would take cross over elam, and elam gave us a silent commit. We don't have enough spots for both of them though. Pickens wants to flip, but grades are questionable. I would take elam, cross, and pickens if we can, but I doubt we get all three. Have a great night and Go Dawgssss.

here is the thread with many great insiders!!!
Is this worth registering too? Is it free? I would like to get involved with another site but dont know which one.
Nah. I was happy to see him go when we landed Torrian Gray. When the rumors started coming out of Washington that Gray was out, I told some people that he better not end up at UGA or Bama because Gray's ability to coach up the talent y'all land would be unfair. I did a lot of celebrating when we landed him.
As for Warren's recruiting, it wasn't anything special. 247 gives him credit for Chris Steele and Tyron Hopper, but Warren wasn't the main recruiter on either guy. Ron English was the reason we landed Steele, and C-Rob was the reason we landed Hopper. C-Rob is our ace recruiter on defense. Our fanbase is worried y'all will hire him away (with him being a former UGA player and all).
Regardless, I'm not too concerned about anything right now. The Gators are headed in the right direction. I like our coaching staff. Our recruiting class will be solid at worst. We have a lot of coaches who are strong at teaching and player development. My only complaint with our coaching staff right now is Grantham. I don't think he's a bad DC, but he outsmarts himself and makes his scheme more complex than it needs to be. He'd be a much stronger DC if he took his mentor's philosophy (Wade Phillips). Keep things simple, let your guys play fast, and play to their strengths.
Grantham's system too complex? Where have I heard that before?

UGA is Pryor's ‘dream offer,’ & he hopes to get one. He is going to run sub 4.6 at camps at 210 pounds. Fun fact: Works out with Nick Chubb at 6am during the week.

A name that is heating up in the 2020 class is Jay Hardy of McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The 6-foot-5, 265 pound athletic defensive lineman was recently offered by Georgia and he has a connection there already.
“I like them a lot, one of my good buddies, Zion Logue is going there and he is really trying to convince me to go there and I am going to visit this weekend, “ Hardy said.”He keeps telling me how much I am going to like it there and how coach (Tray) Scott gets things done right.”
He admits the offer from the Bulldogs caught him off guard a little.
“I had been getting a lot of mail from them, but no so much in contact with the coaches, until coach Scott came by and offered me,” he said.
With a few visits set up in the coming weeks, do not expect a decision anytime soon.
“I want to narrow it down on June 2nd and I probably will not commit until after football season,” he said.
"Spoke with 2020DL Jay Hardy yesterday morning and he is going to be at UGA this weekend. He is getting a lot of new offers almost daily. He said that Zion Logue is working him hard to join him in Athens already."
It's a worthwhile question after the Bulldogs hosted 2020 Saguaro High School (Scottsdale, Arizona) five-star cornerback Kelee Ringo, who put in a visit to Athens last weekend.
“It was a really great visit—a great time to meet with Coach [Charlton] Warren and all the staff," Ringo said. "Coach Kirby Smart was really good, too. I like Georgia a lot. Honestly, they’re a really good school that I’ll have in mind throughout this process. I’m just ready to move forward, keep taking visits there, and building relationships with coaches. I like the players there, also. They treated me very well.”
But will the distance be a hangup?
“No sir,” Ringo said quickly.
For the 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back, the vibe at Georgia stood out.
“It’s been great just to see the place and whether it’s the right fit for me for a great college experience," he said. "I just want an atmosphere that’s a home away from home, and I’m really looking for that. I want to see if it’s a good fit for me for college.”
The Georgia coaches tried to show how Ringo would fit.
“[Coach Warren] is a great coach, honestly," Ringo said. "We had dinner and breakfast a few times, and he’s just a great coach overall. He wants to develop me, and he said I can play in the SEC. My size and speed is hard to find, and I’m the kind of combination he’s seeking.”
All factors considered, the Bulldogs sit in a good spot for what could be a major recruiting opportunity. Ringo said he will "probably" give the Dawgs an official visit. That would go a long way in helping Georgia's chances.
Part of Georgia's appeal also stems from the school being in the SEC.
“It’s a huge argument, but it’s always been said that the SEC is the best college football in the nation," Ringo said. "It’s the most competitive.”
Each of the conference members, along with most of the nation, have been stopping in to see Ringo.
“Honestly, pretty much all the SEC has been through, and the Big 12. Really, it’s been schools all around the country," Ringo said of recent visitors.
Kirby Smart saw Ole Miss commit Jonathan Mingo last night. This will be his one and only in-home visit with Mingo. The Rivals250 receiver was considering a visit to Athens this weekend so hopefully Smart and company can lock down that visit. Smart is expected to go in-home with both Brett Seither and Mark-Antony Richards today. He went in-home with Kaiir Elam on Tuesday with James Coley, Cortez Hankton and Charlton Warren.
I am told Jonathan Mingo was up in the air regarding the Georgia official this coming weekend. After a visit from Kirby Smart, that visit is a go for this weekend. The Ole Miss commit will take his final visit to Athens this Friday-Sunday then make his final decision a couple days after.
James Coley and Cortez Hankton went in-home with George Pickens last night as well. Pickens is expected to visit Tennessee this weekend.
This kid is visiting this weekend:

NORCROSS, Ga. — It is that time. The 7v7 season is starting up, so tryouts are being held, and Hustle Inc. held their first of two tryouts Sunday. Hustle Inc. is based out of Atlanta and has one of the top teams in the country. After watching close to 200 players compete, here are 10 players that impressed.

The recruitment for Battle has recently picked up. He has added offers from Duke, Kansas and Maryland among others the last couple of weeks. He is a long cornerback who covers a lot of ground in a hurry. His length is a real asset at his position. He played the ball well and as he fills out his frame, he is only going to get better.

Bullard is a new name. He is only a sophomore, so he was on the opposite side at first working with the 15u team, but after a strong performance, he got called over to play with the older guys. He is a very confident player who was in on rep after rep making plays. He had numerous pass break-ups, and at his size, he is going to draw a lot of attention as his name gets out there. He did enough for us to create him a profile on Rivals.com.

Capers stands out immediately due to his size and length at wide receiver. Rivals.com broke this week that he is down to four schools — Arkansas, Clemson, Florida and South Carolina. He is looking to make a decision in the next month or so. What stood out as much as anything Sunday was his route-running. He was making decisive, sharp cuts and creating good separation. His hands were consistent too.

Dixon is out there competing, learning and working to get better. He has a lot of tools college coaches really like. LSU is the most recent school to offer. Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State are some of the others who have pulled the trigger. He is still raw, but he is a big quarterback with a great frame, a live arm and a really high ceiling. He is showing development with his accuracy and footwork early this year.

What hasn’t already been said about this five-star athlete? Gilbert is a freak. What was most impressive about Gilbert at this event was the fact that he was there to compete. Not many top 10 prospects in the country would have been there doing drills, going hard for three hours and having fun doing it. He is an elite talent looking at Clemson, Georgia, Oklahoma and Tennessee. He made all the plays and he was a difficult match-up for anyone.

This is a freshman to know. He has an offer from Bowling Green, but he is going to add a lot more than that. The 2022 cornerback out of Snellville (Ga.) Brookwood was as smooth in the drills as anyone. He has such fluid hips, then you see the length and footwork, and you can expect this young man to be a major Power 5 target much sooner than later. His dream school is LSU.

The 2022 quarterback has already picked up offers from Arkansas State, Army, Colorado State, Georgia Tech, Rutgers and Tennessee Tech. He will add plenty more. He threw for 2,917 yards and 34 touchdowns as a freshman. He is such a smart quarterback. He throws with good timing, good accuracy and receivers love playing with him.

Toole is one of the more under-recruited quarterbacks in the state of Georgia at this time. He has an offer from Howard and William and Mary, but he should, and will, have more. He is a strong-armed quarterback with good fundamentals and very consistent. He throws a very catchable ball and showed nice touch Sunday. Expect his offer list to really grow over the spring. Rutgers, Troy and West Virginia are showing interest.
Not only are there uncommitted prospects out there that are looking to make decisions leading up to National Signing Day, but there are some committed prospects that are deciding if they want to stay with that program or flip to another.

MISSISSIPPI
Committed to: Ole Miss
The buzz: Mingo is still committed to Ole Miss, but will he stay with the Rebels? He visited Mississippi State a couple of weeks ago and he is expected to visit Georgia this weekend. Mississippi State looks to be the biggest threat to Ole Miss at this time. The Rebels had a change at offensive coordinator, but Rich Rodriguez laid his plan out to Mingo last weekend and it was well received. The visit seemed to go well in Oxford, but Mingo is not ready to completely shut things down yet. Joe Moorhead and his staff have made a strong push too.

AUBURN
Committed to: Auburn
The buzz: Pickens has been one of the most talked about prospects in the country the last month and a half. After not signing with Auburn in December, Pickens, without hardly saying anything, has captured the interest of much of the country. LSU was viewed as the biggest threat at one time, but the Tigers appear to have fallen down his list. Georgia and Tennessee are two programs to watch now. He was in Athens a couple of weeks ago and Tennessee will host the five-star wide receiver this weekend. Can Auburn hold on? It looks to be 50-50 right now and Pickens has everyone guessing as we inch closer to Signing Day.

VERBAL COMMIT
6/15/2018
GEORGIA
Committed to: Georgia
The buzz: Plumlee was at Ole Miss last weekend and there is a lot of buzz around the Rebels right now. He spent time with the football and baseball staff in Oxford and the Rebels have put themselves in good position here. The Georgia commit will visit Florida State this weekend and the Seminoles are still searching for a quarterback in this class. Mississippi State, like Ole Miss, is a threat to Georgia. With Georgia signing two quarterbacks in December and asking Plumlee to blue shirt, we expect the dual-threat quarterback to flip come Feb. 6.
Junior wideout Justin Robinson of Eagles Landing Christian is no stranger to Athens, and after his trip last weekend, he believes the Bulldogs have something different working.
"UGA is definitely a special place. Being close to home is good, but the people there make it better," Robinson said. "Everything about UGA is special -- the people, facilities, everything."
The 6-foot-4, 207-pound receiver got a dose of all of the above during his last stop.
"The visit was great. I really enjoyed being up there," Robinson said. "I got to listen to the nutritionist and the trainers and things like that. I also got a chance to sit down with Coach [Cortez] Hankton and go over some plays. He wanted to see if I knew a little something. I think the best thing was the photo shoot we had at the end."
Hankton has been clear with Robinson on Georgia's need.
"He's knows the position really well, and he's a really cool dude," Robinson said. "I believe he can make me better on the field and off the field. They've told me wide receiver is a priority for 2020. They have some good kids offered, so we'll see how it turns out."
The 2020 star isn't shy about his feelings toward the program.
"UGA is up there right now," Robinson said. "I like Notre Dame and Virginia as well, but right now, UGA is up there. I'm going to South Carolina this weekend. I'll see Notre Dame and Wake Forest soon, too."
It was only a matter of time for Justin Robinson. After missing his freshman season due to injury and sitting out as a sophomore due to transfer rule, he was ready to make a splash in 2018 as a junior.
The 6-foot-4, 200 pound wide receiver out of McDonough (Ga.) Eagles Landing Christian School finished with 14 touchdowns catches, four interceptions and a state title last season.
After impressive camp performances over the summer, Boston College and Virginia offered. Georgia offered early in the season and then Wake Forest was next. Things have really picked up in 2019. Florida, Florida State, Kentucky, Notre Dame and South Carolina among others have offered in January.
His recruitment has taken off.
"I have been picking up a lot of new offers," said Robinson. "Coaches have been telling me they like my height, how physical I play and my grades. It has been a lot of fun, but a little stressful too. It is a lot to handle with school and stuff, but it is fun.
"Out of the schools that have offered, I have been to Boston College for camp, Virginia for a camp and game, Georgia for a few visits and Florida for a game. I am going back to South Carolina this weekend, Virginia February 9 and I am going to Notre Dame on February 23. I have already visited Georgia for a basketball game this year and I will be going back there again.
"I have not visited South Carolina yet, so I am looking forward to that. I have been talking to coach Bryan McClendon. I It will be my first time at Notre Dame and I know about their history, so I want to see what it is like there.
"I was at Florida for the Kentucky game and the crowd was crazy. It was a good atmosphere there.
"Right now, I have Georgia and Virginia as my favorites. I like it up at Virginia because they make me feel at home. The coaches are great and I just like the feeling there. Georgia is close to home, they are a top five team and the coaches are on me hard. Coach [Cortez] Hankton and coach Kirby Smart are talking to me a lot.
"I am not planning to make a decision until later in the season. I want to take my official visits in the fall, then make my decision. I am still looking around and it is really hard to narrow my list down too much with all the offers coming in. I am just taking my time.
"I am going to search for the school that I feel can make me a better player, a place that is family oriented and somewhere that has strong academics."
RIVALS REACTION
Robinson's offer list is going to continue to grow and he is planning to take a lot of visits in the coming months. He has already visited Georgia and he has three planned for February already. Look for the soon-to-be four-star to be very active this winter and spring. Georgia and Virginia did a great job of getting on him early and establishing relationships, so we expect the Bulldogs and Cavaliers to be in this race until the end.
