Next To Commit To The G 2020

A interesting POV my coworker (TCU fan) pointed out is...
What if UGA gets both Evans (asked for a held spot) and Milton (Monday) to commit. That would effectively take Tank out as he would probably feel a way about how things played out (which makes sense as it was sort of rumored to b hot and cold mutually). He pointed out that this would be ideal for the team player wise. But he brought up a interesting note that if Evans decided to flip late in the process (All Star Game) then he thought staff could have a easier time flipping Lloyd for RB#2 than they would for Bigsby.
Never looked at it that way but was interesting.
I think Jeff is saying that if they missed on Evans due to a late flip they feel confident in one of Tank/Lloyd/McClellan being flipped to the good guys and since Lloyd has already said he's still talking to the Dawgs and USC could very well crater this year you could be right on him being the backup.
That's another legit thing on both Burch and perhaps Lloyd is that SC could easily have a reeeally bad year. IDK if they'd fire Muschamp but there'd be major issues and assts getting fired probably. That schedule is gnarly.
This would be counter to what @SoFL_Dawg said on May 30th in this thread. He noted that the staff defines a thunder back as 220+ lbs. Evans, Lloyd, Bigsby were all listed as lightning backs. The way that I interpret the data Jeff posted is that there is a large difference between Evans and the pack when it comes to agility. I would have a slower time at that drill as well, doesn't make me a thunder back.
I see it that Jase and Evans are close on agility then there is a big gap to the rest. Tank may have the speed to be a lightning back but not close on agility. He doesn't have the thunder size as you say and my take is that is why CKS and co are hesitant to let him commit. Don't get me wrong, Tank is a very good player but I feel they really see Milton and Evans or Milton and McClellan as being more complimentary duos. Don't forget that K-Mac will be around until 2021 and probably 2022.
Are recruits arriving today or tomorrow ? It’s like Christmas in Athens
This explains y the silent commitment is hilarious. A month later he was out. Give me tank , Evan's will be in texas
@Denmen185 , I agree that McClellan seems to be in the same class as Evans was in that drill. My point was really that of those that Jeff listed, only one of them would qualify as a "thunder" back. Totally agree on the duos you listed being the top options. I am definitely excited about K-mac also.
I think we are really close to what I view as an ideal RB room: Thunder/Lightning duos in each of Jr, Soph, Frosh classes with carries split 80/20/0 for meaningful minutes and 0/30/70 for garbage time. After this year, Herrien & Swift replaced by 2020 class thunder/lightning. After next year, Zeus & Cook replaced by 2021 thunder/lightning. It's a pitch that sells itself, "Come to UGA. Develop as a freshman, give the country a tease as a Sophomore, ball out as a Junior, enjoy the NFL." It may never happen like that, but I think the closer we are to that scenario, the closer we are to the ideal. Right now we are VERY close.
I honestly think if they lock down two backs this year they go back to one a cycle and recoup the loses.
Looks like mcclellin is a no go this weekend
Where did you see this ? @dawgy10
I have no idea of how Evans feels about any school. I do want to correct one thing about Evans teammate Damieon George. Damieon George OT 6-6.5 348 North Shore Houston, TX is not only a Alabama commit because of his relationship to Zachary Evans. He is currently Alabama's highest rated offensive line recruit. I do not know what this means about Alabama. Maybe they see something in him that the rating services do not.
I think it's more that they signed a trio of Top 100 tackles in 2019.
They might truly see George as a depth piece, but I would bet my money on the notion that they would never have considered him if not for his relationship with Evans.
I think it means that Saban had a misfire when he was forced to replace Brent Key.
For Evans I think it's Texas A&M 40% UGA 30% Texas 20% Bama 10% ATM.
I think we will be in it until the end for Evans, and the fact that Evans is coming to UGA this weekend and Tank is not should be very telling on where UGA stands in both Evan's & Tank's minds. Obviously staff would love for 1 of (Evans/Tank/Lloyd/Chaney) but they won't wait around so if Tank would commit right now or next week, then RB room would be done assuming Milton commits to the Dawgs on Monday. However I would pump the breaks on the Tank to UGA talk as of right now. If Tank was seriously considering the Dawgs and almost ready to commit, I can't imagine that the staff would host Evans. And even if they still asked Evans to come I doubt that he would come, knowing that Tank & Milton were about to go public to UGA and thus that would effectively remove UGA from his decision (there are big groupchats amongst recruits and they know where everyone is going). So since Evans is coming this weekend that means that Either Milton isn't picking UGA Monday or that Tank has finally gotten the commitable offer from the dream school, but is just waiting and seeing how things play out over the next couple weeks, and if there is anything better for him else where because he knows what he has at UGA and doesn't need to see it again before making a decision.
If we miss on Evans late we WILL flip 1 of (Tank/Lloyd/Chaney)
