From some words within this thread, the academics angle is probably more of a ruse as to why the instate school is not the favorite.
Sucks to see an elite defensive lineman opt elsewhere year after year. Hopefully Travon Walker balls out to create some momentum and change some opinions
@Thelordjohnson Yes they do. Nakobe took his 4.3 GPA to that engineering program at UGA... so I agree with @Midnite_Train about the ruse with the academic angle.
UGA is the #13 public university, Clemson is #24, and awburn is #115 for overall rankings. For engineering it gets flipped, awburn and Clemson are top 60 and UGA is 116. It's going to be hard to pull top level players that are serious about engineering and football away from clemson
Yes. I looked it up for Nakobe Dean's recruitment (for myself)
Maybe Nakobe should host him when he gets back to UGA to help him with that thought process.
The poster I replied to was very vague and yes this year we’re looking good with in-state kids. But the way it was said “we don’t need in-state kids we’re a national brand” like, that’s foolish. What about the next 2018? Building those relationships is key in recruiting it’s been proven. So, yes we’re doing good with the in-state kids but that doesn’t mean we should abandon them in the years to come because there’s a shiney new 5 star in Washington that we can pull in who hasn't played the competition that’s in the state of Georgia.
Disclaimer that’s not a knock on Eason just the closest comparison I could think of.
That was my post. You missed the sarcasm font. I have gone round and round with the number of posters on here about the importance of in-state recruiting. There are several posters on here, including Jeff sentell, who believe that because Georgia has a national brand that instate recruiting is not as important.
@Acrum21 @YaleDawg @FirePlugDawg
The engineering program at UGA what all focuses does it have? I know structural engineering is his main goal. (GT is ranked 3rd).
Don't see any structural engineering.
If you want to be an engineer, go to Tech. If you want to play football, Georgia and Clemson are both good choices. But don't tell me it's about engineering.
@MIghtydawg I retract my previous comment then. My apologies for missing the sarcasm.
Y’all are making this too complicated on Murphy. UGA is the 13th public ranked school in the nation. Know where CU is, #66...Stop and ask yourself if you think Murphy sticks with engineering degree, on top of playing D1 ball? Does he stay four years to graduate when he’s already viewed as a 3 and done 1st rounder?
Now think about the network of UGA alum and that business school that will help him manage all that money when his playing days are over...
This ain’t about academics. It’s about him liking UGA less than at least 2 other schools. We’ve been posting that here for a couple of weeks now. He’s a smart kid, good kid, by all intents and purposes he is THE get in state for defense, but he wants to create his own path, which we all respect. Mom is an alum and it matters little at this point (what more can be said by a coach or professor to sway the mind).
Him choosing UGA would be huge AND unlikely. Add Bresee and Burch to that list. None of these likely make it past August, and could see announcements as early as April 6th and there is chatter there will be a 5 star commitment parade in one day. Could be 5 five stars in one day for CU. Yeah it sux I know but it is what it is.
Staff is aware, plans are being made to find system fits. We will be fine, but manage the expectations here.
This. Clemson is getting that natty bump and it should be expected. Let’s hope we can get one for 2021
Natty bump and draft bump. I think people are underselling a bit how great this DL draft is going to look for them.
