Chris Hinton Flipping??

PharmDawg2054

If the DL lands Nolan Smith, Travon Walker and Chris Hinton... then is there really much convern over "lack of DL recruiting?"

We will see how this plays out. I think that we have a decent shot at Hinton. I also think this because I personally have a belief that Michigan craps the bed this year

As someone who went to Michigan and UGA, I can tell you that UGA has a MUCH better student/undergraduate experience than Michigan does. The campus is nicer, the people are friendlier and there's more to do (food is way better too). However, Michigan is academically much better, and it's not really comparable. Michigan is regularly tied for the top rated public university (academically) in the nation along with Cal-Berkeley & Virginia. I had to really bust it in the classroom just stay above water at Michigan.

The gals in Athens are better looking.

Coeds factor:
Uga= gorgeous/attire is “appropriate for warm climates”/faces for tv
Michigan= pasty white/wear sweatpants/faces for radio

That would be crazy. Would love for that to happen. He’s been actively recruiting for Michigan himself on Twitter. That’s the only thing That’s throwing me off about this.

Brenton Cox was doing the same thing last year.

Right you are. Otis Reese was a Michigan commit also, but not sure if we was actively recruiting for them back then.

That would be a super twofer indeed. As to academics, I know there are exceptions but in the main, UGA can give an undergraduate experience comparable to Mich. For many years, graduate and professional programs are where the real distinctions are prominent. And, again, there are exceptions and I am speaking of good schools as the starting point.

Work that mojo, Kirby! Go Dawgs!.

Michigan is academically better... but it's not by a huge degree anymore. UGA has been on an upward trend for the last 30 years academically. The latest US News rankings has UGA at #16 for public schools, tied with Ohio State, just ahead of Texas, just behind PSU. Michigan is #4. So while UM is a higher ranked school... the gap isn't what you suggest.

The Hinton family values academic prestige so if Chris were to flip, I’d imagine Stanford would be his destination.

I don't buy that because most 5-star guys don't even graduate. This guy will play for 3 years then go to the NFL. Whenever a blue-chip starts talking about how important "academics" are I laugh. I believe Hinton will flip to UGA as Michigan suffers through another weak showing and a coaching change there heats up. I put OP in that same category. I think he will be rethinking his commitment after the beat-down we are going to lay on Auburn. I hope he is able to attend that game on either sideline.

And a lot of times those rankings included stuff like reputation, social services, campus facilities, overall budget, number of professors with PHDs (which does not always mean they are better teachers) and other school criteria that aren't necessarily critical to a great academic experience. Not sure how one would quantify the difference between a degree from UM and UGA.

Grading criteria from the US News and World Report:
The indicators used to capture academic quality fall into a number of categories: graduation and first-year student retention rates, assessment by administrators at peer institutions, faculty resources, admissions selectivity, financial resources, alumni giving, graduation rate performance

This is 100% accurate. What is said here about Michigan applies to pretty much every northern school. I went to WAZZU and that is exactly what I saw. Years later I spent 4 years in Athens and was absolutely blown away by the quality of the coed population. Night and day difference.

I agree with your premise of 3 n gone...keep in mind though many of these guys still graduate from the schools they attend, later on. I hope Hinton flips...I’ve said in other posts I think he’s overrated based on tape, shouldn’t be 5 Star. JMO. If everyone else says he’s legit it must be my cataracts.

Pappoe won't have a spot when Rian Davis and Nakobe Dean come aboard. There will be no room at the inn. Believe what you want. There are kids who base their recruitment on academics & Stanford and Michigan benefit from this. Some folks graduate early and either become grad transfers or enter masters programs. I have not put it past Hinton to flip but stated as things stand right now, I don't see it. It is recruiting and anything can happen. Shea Patterson could be a bust & Michigan struggles and he remains faithful or Michigan has a great season and Dan Lanning convinces him to switch.

I seem to have offended some people with the sharing of my education experience. First off, I do not mean any offense AT ALL to either school. Both schools are incredible institutions that people should be proud to attend. I feel honored having been able to attend both. That being said, let me address your concern with the academics.

When you look at the whole picture of undergraduate rankings ( US News - including both public and private schools), you find that Michigan is ranked #28 (beating out GA Tech lol). UGA is ranked #54. You are correct with the public school rankings (Michigan #4, UGA #16). Whether you believe a gap of 8 schools or 26 schools is large or not is really just a matter of opinion. I certainly respect the fact that you don't have to agree with my opinion.

I believe that everyone committed to Georgia at linebacker is a firm, ride or die take no matter what.
