Evan's is a long shot here guys, he is only coming bc his two teammates are coming to town. Milton and tank , let's roll with that, we are prob 3rd in running for evans
@sarcean I know nothing regarding "insider" information. I just try to half butt analyse data and information of public knowledge without prior determination of what I think it means.
Extract of @JeffSentell posting on a different thread. Jeff I hope I have not violated any ethics rules or done anything to upset you.
Georgia would be wise to try to find the best of the best. It can be extremely picky at that position. As a means of comparsion, check these short shuttle times. .....
Evans at 200 pounds: 3.84 (regional)
McCllelan at 202 pounds: 3.98
Milton at 220 pounds (now up to 229): 4.25 (regional)
Lloyd at 210 pounds: 4.25 (regional)
Bigsby at 210: 4.34 (finals)
The differences in a 3.84 versus a 4.25 or a 4.34 in space are the inches a program might need to turn a 15-yard gain into a 50-yard TD against the Alabamas, Clemsons and LSUs in 2021.
Conversely, the differences between that 200 or 220 pounds might be the power needed to bore through to the goal line on a red-zone series in the SEC or a heated BCS playoff game.
My interpretation of the data is that Milton, Lloyd and Bigsby are the bigger "bruising" back while Evans and McClellan are more likely backs that show lateral quickness. If I was CKS I would look for one from the first group and one from the second; he may well feel different. That's why I don't think that Milton+Bigsby is the first choice. In fact I think Tank would have committed months ago if he was 1 of the top 2.
Lol, that’s not what I’ve heard. Where you getting your info?
A&m has always been considered the favorite, his package deal buddy is at bama. What info u got?
What info do any of us have outside of what we're told by people more in the know? Jeff himself said he's hearing it's a two team race between UGA and Bama. @SoFL_Dawg has said we are firmly in the race. I personally think Alabama came across as very desperate with their signing of Evans' teammate; Saban doesn't take 2 for 1 commitments, or at least he didn't in the past.
Alabama feels like the professional archetype of a team trading future assets for win-now players and coaches because Saban's hourglass is running low on sand.
Lol thinking A&M is not in the race
Package deals generally fall apart if the elements of the package have no other ties than friendship/desire to play together. Would a top recruit ultimately go to a school with an unfavorable environment that could cost him $5+ million dollars to help his friend who may not be as talented get a spot where he may or may not be successful. Equally would a middling OL come to UGA to a situation where he likely not make the depth chart to be with his RB friend to maximize his potential. In the case of Adam Anderson IMO he flipped to LSU to help his 2 buds get an offer but flipped back to help himself. Friends helping friends but within limits.
I would not put too much stock in the "package deal". The other player will actually improve his stature by being an Alabama commit even if he doesn't end up there.
I’m skeptical too...BUT...@JeffSentell and the 247 guys(Adams and Mansell) think the Dawgs are in it despite also being skeptical the whole time and expecting the Texas schools to be in the mix. So I’m guessing folks are going to listen to them...
To be clear..I'm gonna listen to the experts and enjoy the ride. Not really going out on a limb saying we AREN'T going to get the #1 RB in the country..
So are we basically gonna get Arian Smith at this point? If so I'll have completely made my peace with the WR haul.
It certainly seems that way.
Champ Baily. HOFer Champ Baily? I accept!
Could be labeled an Athlete, much like Meco and see where he ends up, which id be good with.
It’s Milton & Evans if they want it
if Tank wants to commit he can and then there’s only 1 spot.
but obviously Tank isn’t ready to commit, and is probably giving staff mixed signals (smoke/payback for slow playing him) he is trying to figure out if he’ll get left out on the curb if Evans wants in later. (Which by all account in the know would say that he would still have a spot & Evans would be sent looking elsewhere.)
Kirby & Co want either one (Tank or Evans) that’ll commit first. But they won’t wait around forever & that’s why you hear names like McClellan & Co. Evans is a wildcard kind of like Burch. It is very telling though about where Georgia falls in their recruiting that both are at the cookout this weekend. They could be elimination visits, but I doubt it. Evans will be at the A&M game for sure.
I think Evans will want to reconfirm his silent commit to staff this weekend, and the RB talk will cool as far as the people in the know after this weekend. Tank will go to either Auburn/USC and that’ll be the tell as far as Evans is concerned. If we miss on Evans late, then I guarantee that we will flip Tank on ESD.
Have faith and #InKibyITrust
I’ve heard that it’s UGA or Bama OR UGA or A&M.
thats a combination of Jeff, 247, and SoFL. Personally, I don’t think anyone REALLY knows, but I don’t think we’re a distant third by any means.
