Lol can we make a bet or something on Milton? This is a done deal unless the Kendall and his father are both unbelievable trolls.
He wants a potential role on the team his freshman season, and with Herrien and Swift leaving, we’re in a position to do that. Ty Davis and John Emery will both be sophomores and are both excellent prospects in their own right.
Yup, this was how I felt most of the time with CMR, and thus was right most of the time.
Totally agree with LOR; so many of our fans are conditioned by previous coaching staffs of swinging and missing with the big time recruits that they tend to overlook that Kirby's history is pretty much the opposite with results. He has changed the mindset and culture in just three years, yet we still have fans that struggle to leave behind the previous culture mindset. After we sign an additional 5 to 10 five star recruits this season, we will still have some next year worried about the next phenom's decision. For me personally, it is thrilling just to sit back and watch the success that we continue to have under Coach Smart's leadership and recruiting.
Not so much aimed at recent poster but in general we read to many "I am worried about this..." or want 100% assurance about a recruit to feel good. I do not think these posters mean harm but a part of me wants to scream "Enjoy Life"! These are good days. If you fret now, when will you be happy?
Troup is Barn country. Lived there for 9 years. My wife is from LaGrange. All Auburn fans. Been nice the last 18 years, but still feel like pulled pork BBQ at a Jewish wake when we visit her family. It may not be as bad as it once was. And maybe the success we've had over the last 18 years has helped some people see the light. But the Barn is only 35 miles away and there is still a lot of folks bleeding blue and orange there.
I agree with all this. Honestly though, can we blame them(me)? It’s like a ptsd of CMR era until we actually win the big one. This is the year the doubters will start believing
In reality, none of us really know what is going to happen in recruiting.
There are those that are well informed like @SoFL_Dawg and a few others - and there are those that have zero inside info - like me.
Just because a fan doesn't believe we'll get a recruit or a fan believes there is no way we'll miss on a recruit - doesn't make them a troll.
Personalities are different. Call it half full/half empty, positive/negative or whatever. Everyone processes things differently.
What I like about @SoFL_Dawg information is that it has proven to be very accurate in letting us know what recruits Georgia is interested in and what recruits are really interested in us. He has also been very accurate on those recruits we have cooled on (i.e. Justin Rogers) and those we are in a wait and see with (i.e. Bigsby, Whitehead).
But when it gets down to actually committing, there are just so many unseen possibilities. Doesn't mean info was wrong - just that it changes.
If @ancientdawg has a hard time believing it will happen or @umooner believes it's a done deal doesn't have any relevance on what eventually happens. Just two ways of processing this.
What we do know about Kirby's recruiting classes:
1. They'll be very good
2. They'll be full
3. And there will be at least 1-3 major surprises.
While that's true, I'll make an analogy for you. They say you have about 1 in 5 million to a 1 in 10 million chance to be in a plane crash every time you fly. If you're scared of being in a plane crash, that's a pretty irrational fear because the odds are so low that you'll actually be in one. So if said person is scared of being in a plane crash, and then they are in one, does that make their initial fear more rational? My answer is no, it does not.
To a lesser degree, I think that's what we're talking about here. Someone is scared for no other reason than a hunch that Milton is going to pick LSU despite everyone with any kind of information saying otherwise. . .it's not just SoFL_Dawg. Even if it happens, at this point in his recruitment, that's an irrational fear. 99% chance he signs with the Dawgs. Could the 1% happen. . .sure! But we shouldn't be scared of 1% in this kind of situation.
Now if we're talking about a 1% plane crash. . .that's a different story.
I get it @umooner .
Just saying people process things differently. Just because someone posts that they believe player x is going to LSU - it doesn't change what will actually happen.
Cant handle the heat, stay out the kitchen
Cmr has lost control of UGA fans optimism!
(Cough)recruiting thread (cough)
Ringo still hasn’t announced...
Plane crash?
Hey BubRub
Had same fear when I read this headline last year.....
