My money's on Ringo.
Also, did someone already make the what if Ringo plays the star position, would he be Ringo star? If so, well done. If not, dibs.
Darion Green-Warren: Strong coverage skills on the back end. Was committed to OU for a time. Visited for a basketball game earlier this year. Sat with Smart.
@JeffSentell Thanks for the above Intel. I see DGW is being talked about being in Athens this weekend. Im assuming since his decommitment from OU, UGA has continued conversations.
Will he and his family be in town this weekend ?
Do you feel we see him as more of a Safety prospect over a true cover corner like Kimber and Ringo ?
I think Ringo is our Huckleberry.
I get theres 365 days a year and only 23 spots in the class, but i get impatient after a big couple of weeks like this. I want more croots now!!
What’s the Word on Justin Flowe ? Does he have another visit coming ?
Is there a situation where we would pull Akinola Ogunbiyi scholarship for a better guard? I see us taking 5 OL with Ratledge/Jones/Van Pran being locks while I see guys like AO and Braun as projects. I guess what I'm trying to ask is there higher rated guards that we are in it for/ would take over AO. Also, why have we not tried to pursue Damien George 6'6" 350 lbs. OT out of North Shore in Houston, TX that is a good friend of Zach Evans. We seem like an ideal place to take a guy like Damien George. We need the depth, but don't necessarily need him to contribute right away with the likes of Broderick Jones and Tate Ratledge in the fold already. If it could give us a leg up in Zach Evans recruitment, then why haven't when been more heavily involved?
A. Ryam is who I'm hoping for. Don't know what "lock" means to you. Calling my shot on RBs this class: T.Bigsby/M. Lloyd
The thinking on George is he is not a great football player. Or even an elite football prospect. Especially at the UGA level.
Please allow me to ask this question here, sir: Why do you term AO and JB as projects? If it is what you seen on film and their technique, then by all means I will applaud your opinion here.
Just don't let the rankings fool you. AO has only played football since 2016. His HS team never throws the ball and he is still the nation's No. 11 OG.
I'd also sign as many guys with the heart/head/athleticism/size/length combo that Braun has as I possibly can. Epecially in a class that already includes Tate Ratledge and Broderick Jones.
Trust Pittman until he gives you a reason not to.
Wut?! Pittman LOVES AO. Him and SVP are 1 and 2 for him for interior guys. You are off here.
@DipDawg AMEN!!!!
FWIW - Thoughts on Milton.
Both he and his father spoke highly of UGA even before they had been to Athens. He came to GDay and certainly seemed to have a good time and bond with 4-5 other recruits such as Ringo and Sherman. I would be shocked if that trip had a negative impact on his/their feelings about UGA.
He has set his first 2 officials to OSU and LSU for 5/31 and 6/7 respectively. I doubt that he has either in his top 3. The key visits will likely be the 3 that seem yet to be determined. I would feel confident if Athens turns out to be his last especially if the other 2 are set before season's start.
Will be keeping an eye or 3 on Twitter and 247 timeline 😀
I am strictly going of rankings here I couldn't possibly begin to evaluate HS tape to determine if a guy has good technique. I always trust the Pittboss on whatever he is doing and I like both AO & JB. I selfishly was just seeing if we had a chance at signing a better prospect based on rankings, and that's what lead me to George. If you look at his 247 page and look at who hes considering, its easy to see that he very likely wont play at any of those schools except for OK St and Ole Miss. Bama, Oklahoma, & Texas are clearly just going after him as a way to get to Zach Evans. I see him as a Transfer Portal guy after 2 seasons if he does indeed follow Zach Evans. I just feel like Zach Evans is such a rare talent, that we would be kicking our selves in 3 years if we didn't put everything we had into recruiting him & with Dell McGhee and Sam Pittman recruitiing those 2 I would never count UGA out.
If you're looking at just rankings losing Zach Evans would hurt until you see that Lloyd, Milton, McGowan, Bigsby are all guys still being considered.
Players really don't follow teammates. Package deals are talked about but so rarely happen.
You also don't want to give a schlorship to a player that you don't believe is worthy simply to gain the schlorships of another. Few players are worth 2 schlorships.
Evans may or may not be good. Plenty of good backs available. If we get him, which is doubtful, then great. If not, we'll get very good backs that can play.
I do know that Duncanville High School was able to slow him down. I was at that game.
