Good post @HumbleYourself
"Do I make the forum better, or worse?"
I make it better no doubt. If only to bring another perspective.
If you are looking for a forum full of yes men this isn't ( or shouldn't be ) it.
So many people live in an information bubble these days that it actually makes them physically uncomfortable to hear differing opinions. If that is you. You really need to get out more. Get your information or news from somewhere else a couple days a week. Read something different. If you dont? Well you arent much more than a lemming.
Everyone thinks the same in North Korea and while I have never been there I am pretty sure its awful.
Enough hugging / back patting and back on subject.
Who commits this weekend ?
@bmitcham89 had a nice timeline a page or two back
Milton, Smith, and maybe Micah Morris in 2021
Interested on peoples' thoughts IF in fact Evans were the yowza visitor AND he seemed receptive...
Given that he may want to stretch out his recruitment longer than some others and even IF he commits there's still the Texas schools lurking(ala Emery Jr/LSU)
Is he worth potentially missing on other guys for? IF Milton is in the fold does that make it less of a "bird in the hand" situation and safer to hold out for Evans? Or should they just say "thanks, but Tank and these guys are about to commit so if you want in better hurry?'
Obviously we aren't the guys making the calls and lots of hypotheticals but I'm not sure where I fall. I love Evans' tape but not sure about the risk of holding out for him personally. Not looking for another game of RB musical chairs at the last min like last year.
I think Milton as well, then rumors of a few more silents. Kirby seems to save a few public commits for dramatic effect and to control the narrative.
First off, as you mentioned, Dell is on the case and I’d trust his judgement.
I’d take Tank and be excited with the get. The guy is a stud, has done everything that was asked of him and you need players like that as part of your team. Home state factor is big, too.
Take tank and call it a day. Evans has to much antics to go along with his takent
The true face of Dawgnation...
Geez, didn't think I needed the /s for a picture of Kim Jong Un. Live and learn.
If Smith does commit, does he come on a track scholarship as a way to work around the available football scholarships?
I think of it like this. If he's willing to commit say, before September, then I think he's worth the risk even if he flips. If he's not, then I do not think it's worth it at all.
That being said, Tank can commit any time apparently, and so if Tank tries to commit before Evans, and you know Evans decision is imminent, do you tell Tank no? Those are the kind of dilemmatic decisions that you have to make when you're making 7 figures.
Would be nice, but not allowed. A football player receiving any UGA scholarship (so not HOPE or other local scholarships) is treated as a scholarship player. Otherwise you'd end up with track/baseball teams full of football players.
Take the in state kid along with Milton and call it a day IMHO.
One man’s opinion: Evans’ measurables are undeniable and any team (or fan) would want to see that type of talent playing for their team.
That said - and I know nothing more than what I see/read online & on social media - there seem to be some potential maturity questions when compared to some of the other RBs discussed here who seem exceptionally polished & thoughtful considering their age by comparison (ie - MIlton). Generally speaking - I’d rather take the 3rd or 4th ranked RB with no maturity concerns behind this OL than trying to win a Recruiting Class Rank trophy by signing the top ranked RB and having it potentially disrupt the program’s project to date.
Having a culture of accountability and strong leaders in the locker room can go a long way to help mature guys in a hurry, but only the staff know for sure how much growing up any of these players have to do off the field to help the team achieve its goals collectively (never mind how successful the player can be individually in meeting their personal goals in the game, academically, after college, etc).
Can’t wait to see what this weekend has in store for this Class (!)
