So, UGA won't be landing.
Seems like we are not getting many of these early commits. Do expectations need to start relaxing a bit, top 10 instead of top3?
It'll be top 3 for sure. Too many targets are left and UGA is looking good with more than a few.
@SoFL_Dawg so who will be our wide receivers in this class besides robinson
@ThisDawg Still confident on top 3 class. Names we’ve come to know and expect in the class, we’ll likely miss on. It sounds cliche but it’s true, recruiting news from a month ago is very old news right now, essentially the board is being reset based on initial misses and prospects emerging/falling. The only way to combat this frankly is to post less, so we’re not experiencing the ebbs and flows. Here’s a quick list of big names to watch.
At this time I think we keep all our current commits and have a good chance to add the following players: Lloyd, Milton, Gilbert, Washington, Sherman, Ratledge, Morris, Mcglothern, Whitehead, Cowan, Williams, McGowan* (ask me on this May 1, assumes Milton doesn’t come this month). This list does not mean they’re silent commits.
Big name players that we’re in relatively deep for (possibly leading with work to do): Flowe, Ringo, Johnson, Dexter, Huntley, Taylor, Rodgers.
Big name players we’re likely to miss (which is causing the angst): Bresee* (see if he goes into sept uncommitted), Murphy, Jarrett, Fleming, Burton, Evans, Cavazos, Davis.
While it appears negative today, it’s important to keep this healthy perspective; there’s more positivity above than negativity. I can’t see a circumstance where we land less than 5 five stars in this class (a month ago, 7-11 seemed likely). Under no circumstance will that be a failure even if it isn’t the household names we’ve been watching for a year. For the record I still believe we’ll land 7-8, and class avg. will be ~94 with 23 signees.
Don’t know. We’re recruiting Jarrett and Rosemy the hardest I’m told, likely to miss on both. Jarrett will choose UT, but I’m not confident that commitment sticks. I cant post on why just something to watch. That said, OSU will be a major factor in Jarrett.
So Jarrett did alert staff he wanted a spot reserved and was said to be a silent (this is what prompted my fave gif). When Beck committed, he was immediately given a priority target list, Jarrett was a priority. The two have been in constant contact. Recruiting is relentless, UT brought out the big guns early and will secure his commitment. They outrecruited us here, and won him over on his potential usage. I do not think they’ll be able to hold on especially after the season begins to unfold. Simply put Beck > Harrison Bailey and Chaney will not show enough imo to hang on to this prized recruit.
I also think it should be said that this Saturday will be a bad day. I live in Clempson country and Clempsons springing game is this Saturday. They are going to have an extremely impressive recruiting day Saturday with people that we want and others. Nobody will be more upset about it than me but we have to try to stay positive if for nothing else than to not let them have any satisfaction from us freaking out
Any news on the Cincy trio @SoFL_Dawg
I feel like this year’s recruiting is kind of a slow burn. And winning cures all. I have no info but I have this gut feeling that if we take care of business, have an undefeated season and win the SEC convincingly we’re going to see a lot of flips on or up to signing day.
Nothing of substance yet.
Yes, I think as long as they have been on campus for a visit there is a chance.
April 1st yes, but check out who “liked” the tweet 👀
Maybe it's because of the love they are both showing for each other and the fact that he's announcing on a former DAWGS bday. I could be VERY wrong, but I honestly think he MAY shock the cfb recruiting world n become a DAWG. Have zero to assume this other than the fact that he's worked with Edwards for a few yrs now. Doing it on a guys bday that was such a DGD, and it also being Gday; the room just looks smoky. But again I could be way off the mark. He's definitely my favourite WR in this class!
Hope you’re right, we’ll see.
That's basically the top 2 on the board for the interior OL "combo" slot.
So I'll share something that I've been sensing and dealing with for the last 8-10 months or so. I now kind of expect most UGA classes to be like 2019 model now. At least this early.
The sands shift. Often.
Here's why:
Thanks for the insight Jeff as always!
@JeffSentell Thank you. Very much valued. I didn't see one thing, though. Why does UGA seem to drag out its commitments versus other top ranked teams like Bammer and Clemp...? Bammer is the closest to UGA's situation per your description above. Yet is has commitments from many. Is the lack of commitments now Kirby's preference? I recall reading that he wanted recruits to think things over and be sure of their choice. Is it the board? Any reason why Bammer would see its needs more closely and finely tuned than UGA?
I thought that 2019 might be the model. Happy for the confirmation.
