Oklahoma is a great place to go, if you don't want to be challenged, or face the best competition, or sharpen your skills against the best defenses.
Best of luck to young Vandagriff. See ya in 2023.
Best wishes to Brock, yes it looks bad for us to lose a guy like that from our back yard, but we aren't looking for back to back pro style qbs. Kirby wants a dual threat Qb to follow Beck.
Recruitment doesn't end just yet. Nobody is off the table until they sign the papers.
That said, Kirby & Company have absolutely blown me away with their recruiting successes, but nobody is going to win every time.
Good luck to our Georgia high school players and natives wherever they go to college (as long as they're not playing UGA in which case I hope they have the worst game(s) in their lives).
Go, Dawgs!
I'm not sure anyone was really expecting Vandagriff to commit when he'd be on the heels of Beck and with Williams and Stockton looming close behind. For the QB position more than any other, if you have an NFL future, there's a large "business decision" component to it.
Not going to try to spin this in any sort of way. Sucks we lost this guy. We fans tend to gloat whenever we snare a big-time recruit, whether in or out of state, then try to minimize the kid or his school choice or his soon-to-be-coach when they choose otherwise. Oklahoma is a good school with a very good football team and an excellent coach. Those are just facts. And we can't be all in to the 4-star and 5-star players when they sign with UGA and then when they go elsewhere, make it seem as if the stars attached to their names don't really matter. No reason to think this kid won't be great at OU and no reason to think that we wouldn't have loved to have had him as a Bulldog. Will we still be OK at the quarterback position without him? Probably so. Would we have been better off WITH him? Probably so. But we didn't get him so we just move on. I hope he does well at OU -- except when we play them. At least he didn't go to Clemson as a top-rated quarterback from North Georgia all but guarantees them a National Championship. Go Dawgs!!!
not sure why UGA can't sign the big time QBs that are from high schools near Athens
Oklahoma has one of the brightest offensive minds as head coach. And, Oklahoma has a tradition of competing at the highest level. I completely understand why this QB went there.
Because we are going after the big time QB in Rabun County for 2022
Remember Zach Mettentberger ?
Based on our experience with #1 QBs, I'd almost rather have them spend a year somewhere else.
