Would be interested to know T Brown and B McClendon’s sales pitch
i would think best OL in D1, RBU and NFL pipeline trumps “sandstorm” every time
I doubt he has one planned, because this seems to be a HUGE surprise. Everyone on every board said Lloyd was all dawg, so I doubt Kirby saw this coming. If we have the amount of silents that’s being said I’m sure Kirby has one or two guys ready to make it public though, so that would be really nice right now.
Couldn’t figure out how to get rid of this old quote I hit on by accident.
Looks like we need to heat up talks with Tank and E.J. Smith, can see that being our RB class this year. Seems like all the 5 ⭐️ RBs talk about liking the idea of joining a deep backfield and seeing limited carries, but end up going somewhere that has an easier path to early playing time. I don’t have access to any kind of insider info, but seeing as we’ll have Zeus, Cook, and McIntosh (at least) coming back next year, I think Milton ends up going to Ohio St., but wouldn’t be surprised if Dell proves me wrong. I think we’ll be in position to sign one of the top RBs in 2020 class.
The pitch is probably "Come to South Carolina and you can be a program changer", or something along that.
@SoFL_Dawg with Lloyd going to the Gamecocks, do you think McGowan might still be in the mix for the dawgs? Also do you think Lloyd committing to Gamecocks makes Tank back off of them & possibly become 2nd back UGA brings in? I know Milton is most likely #1 priority right now.
I understand what you're saying but look at the whole picture.
USCjr is not at Georgia's level - never has been. But it is definitely a legitimate program that will play a great schedule in front of huge crowds. And their new facilities are supposedly incredible
He may have really hit it off with a certain coach - who knows.
Yes we have a great line, yes we put backs into the NFL and yes some backs like our RB by committee philosophy.
But some of these backs want to be the lead Dawg. Maybe Lloyd wanted to be a Dawg but didn't want to come in with another top ranked RB. The idea sounds great to us - but it may not go over with all these backs.
I hear you and I don’t think this one is done
There’s a long way to go before ESD
On a positive note, we already know he’s open to coming South and we now have just one team to recruit against and it should be an easier sell once the season starts
Kirby losing Lloyd is right up there with him losing Fromm to Alabama, Pickens to Auburn and Rice and Anderson to LSU.
Let's see who we get in December before we judge this class.
I doubt it was a huge surprise to Kirby. As regard to everyone on every board, it's like with CBs. One "expert" makes a pick and then 6 others think that he must know something and they put in a pick too. Then everyone thinks it's a foregone conclusion that that's where he is going. After all he just got 7 CB in a day or two so it must be true. Kirby may have known for a month or more that Lloyd was not coming. He, in fact, may have been the one to tell him to look elsewhere; Kirby doesn't rely on this or any other board for his recruiting info!
Two up and coming young, black coaches that have played (brown) and coached the position (both). Pretty sure they were coaches at uga during some very successful times for the running back position. They could also sell playing time, which we can’t really promise.
What does he know??
McClendon was RB coach 2009-14 and so has Gurley, Chubb and Michel to brag about. He was promoted to AHC in '15 and Brown came in as RB Coach who thus can say he was coach of Chubb/Michel in their Sophomore seasons.
Meh. It’s May. Muschamp and Co. can recruit, but with seven months till ESD, my money’s on Kirby and Dell.
