So I’m confused. Did Burch sign or not?
He did not.
So if we add DW and ringo and keep svpg and Broderick.... that’s a 309 class score with 21 signees 👀
Not that it matters, but.......We have a legit shot at the #1 class, as of now Clemson is at 311 with 23 commits. Bama is at 2 with 310 but has 26 commits.
This is Kirby’s finest work as a recruiter IMO. To put this together with so much negativity circling the program is astonishing.
We have only 4 spots available assuming Zirkel attends UGA. If he signed a LOI he is locked in. If however he signed Financial Aid papers UGA has to accept him if he so chooses. Either way he cannot come to UGA as a BS. He either comes in as a 2020 initial or he doesn't come at all (his choice if not a LOI).
I’ll share a story about an acquaintance level friend. A few years ago me and wifey were out on date for our anniversary and met another mid 30’s age couple on their anniversary date at intimate restaurant in small town 30 miles west of Atlanta. Good size guy and a very strikingly beautiful wife. Their table was close to ours and we struck up conversation.
Turns out he was a UGA alum and football player - a Linebacker. He told the story about his recruitment and his dream school was UGA. He was recruited by UGA but wasn’t a high priority and didn’t have a commitable offer the last week. Ended up committing to University of Hawaii and was about to sign with them and UGA found a spot for him on National Signing Day and he signed with UGA. This profile sounds like a buried on depth chart back-up, right?
Welp, that is not what happened.
This young man ended up becoming a starting linebacker for UGA and earned All-SEC player by the time his career was over. Oh yeah, he played for Jerry Jones and had a decent career with Cowboys in NFL as well. Played with Kirby and Bobo.
Say all of that to just backup your story. Sometimes the 3-stars end up being star players and those guys tend to have the intangibles and work ethic.
I preface the following statement by noting I am 100% in agreement with our staff's all-or-nothing, swing for the fences approach with top recruits like Evans, Sewell, and Burch.
But dang, in an alternate universe where they hold back on signing until NSD, Ojulari and Whitehead would fit nicely into the current class. (Tank too, but he's been talked about to death.)
Great story.
Zirkel is a blue shirt. We are signing as many as we can. Expect a few more offers or never before mentioned names to make the class. Best player available stuff.
Jeff explained the Zirkel situation on DND today. He seemed sure the guy is still BSing..lol
Yea. But nycdawg thinks Kirby shouldn’t be the coach. Lol.
You sure on this ?
And we could also have missed on a guy or two as well. Win some, ya lose some
I think the number is 25
Sounds like Randall Godfrey, but wasn't he a big time recruit? Never heard the Hawaii story but that's interesting.
2020 DSGBs in the class: Tate Ratledge, Jermaine Burton, Warren Brinson, Naz Stackhouse, Justin Robinson, Austin Blaske, and Brod Jones (assuming he sticks). 7 out of 19. Not bad considering we might also get the number 1 player in Nevada and Arizona added soon.
Guessing we go heavy for georgia in 2021/22
