Thank you @Denmen185. Your efforts to help keep us all informed on this forum are greatly appreciated. So, am I correct in interpreting this to say that Zach Evans can still sign a NLI with UGA, IF his original NLI was NOT uploaded to the conference before the end of the 14 day period after it was originally signed?
edit: Once again my hunt and peck typing skills are totally outclassed by @pocoyo. Sorry for my redundancy.
We won't know until Feb 5th. If he signs somewhere it will mean that it was not. It's possible that all the All Star games commits asked to delay so that it was less likely to be known ahead of time.
Interesting, Thanks
Idk how anyone can watch Gibbs and confidently say he is a top 50 player.
They know we take over the top spot and wanted to fudge the numbers to make it more interesting at the end given alabama is already at 26 commits.
Milton is miles ahead of Gibbs. That is unconscionable.
But but but he has yards against teams with sub par athletes
Gibbs had 242 total offensive yards against the 6a champion. It is not inconceivable for someone to think he’ll be better than Milton.
Beck is barely rated higher than D'wan Mathis now. Tough year.
Decided to do a tally, turns out UGA players cumulatively went up 14 spots in the Top247 rankings. That SVP bump was pretty big. I only counted currently committed/signed UGA players through the first 247 players.
ETA:
Bama +92
UGA +14
Clemson -115
Look at that average kids...best there is. Poor Bama has to have a 5 player head start for that extra point lol.
It is to me...didn’t know that stats outweighed tape, but that’s the industry for you. Elevate guys who will drive clicks In the end. You have to clearly be heads and shoulders above the competition to hold on to your ranking while still participating in all events sponsored by the industry. See Bresee, clearly the best player in the country. Gibbs looked very avg among the elite players at AA...so did Tank for that matter.
One would be hard pressed to find any coach that would want Gibbs over Milton given the two choices.
For the record, I like Milton more and I was more so responding to those who point to Gibbs’ perceived lack of competition. Simmons and other 247 guys were at the practices and saw a hell of a lot more than any of us could. So I don’t see how you can definitively say that Gibbs looked average.
Also, you have absolutely no way to prove your last statement. It’s an appeal to authority. Not too different to the various fallacies you rightfully call out the various trolls on this board for.
I think the margin between 44th and 88th best prospect is very small and it’s a bit ludicrous to say that one top prospect will 100% (barring injury) be better than another. Thus, I do not believe we should negate these opinions and blindly paint them as being the result of ulterior motives.
It’s clear to me who the better back is. It’s clear to me why Gibbs was ranked as highly as he was, late in the cycle. I also watched the AA practice and game, everything that was televised. I’ve seen the highlight tapes. I know the difference of running through holes cars fit through and having to make guys miss in the backfield. It’s clear why Dell wasn’t/isn’t interested, also clear why every school wanted Milton.
