Come on Kirby. Listen to @dgd829.
You really need to try harder. How could you let a d-lineman commit to another school. Don't you know we need all of them.
A lot of people on this forum really liked Tim Smith. Why didn't you? Do you not follow the 247 ranking?
Now we'll never beat Bama until, what did @dgd829 say, found it. Not until 2022-2023.
Fire Tray Scott and then don't let another d-lineman commit to another SEC school - except 2*s. /s
Is this @nycdawg?
I’ve watched the Arian Smith tape before when he was mention previously with wren. I noticed the same thing everyone else noticed and that’s speed. The kid is faster than fast he’s so fast it literally looks like he’s gliding but beyond jus the speed, you see him showing passion for the game. Even tho he stopped a guy on the one yard line and that team probably scored the next play after he was still pumped that he caught him like he should have been. Another thing you see is he lowers his shoulder looking to take on contact in situation and both try to avoid it, gotta like that, plus he has one blocking highlight I would like to see more of that cuz we all know you gotta block to get the rock and he definitely needs the rock.
I miss @levander
why would we add S to this class when we’re losing 5 CBs next cycle, why not jus add that 3rd CB or jus keep two and go DB heavy like we did in 2018. Plus I still think some of those 2018 DBs like speed, Poole, Bishop, and Webb still have something to say. On top of that we have a chance to pull the 5 6’5 safety for next cycle and David Daniel out of Woodstock, then to add on to that we could pull three CBs who are the no1 players in their state as of right now in AL, VA, and MO and then there are two high ranked 4* at the same school in Florida. The list goes on but I guess this is the back plan to the back up plan lol
@jusdowell Webb has supposedly looked phenomenal this spring. But a Safety will be needed. If LeCounte leaves a guy who may have to step in. If LeCounte stays a guy whom can learn forna year and continue a CFP level team without too much lag.
Cine/reese just to name a few.
we have about 4 or 5 top notch safety’s from my memories.
So I think we all agree that the 85 scholarship limit applies at all times, so blue shirts, red shirts, black shirts, pink shirts, and camo shirts are irrelevant to that number. Thus, blue shirts are only relevant for the 25/yr limit. If that is the case, I thought grad transfers (or any D1 transfers for that matter) did not count as part of that limit. I believe it was something about the 25 only applying to students who are signing their first NLOI. Since Cager and Wolf were previously recruited and signed elsewhere, the limit would not apply to them.
To your more broad point, I do agree with your interpretation that someone could play in 2019 and not be counted until the 2020 class. In this case, Zirkel may be able to blue shirt, play in 2020, and not be counted until 2021.

Cine is the only player that came out of HS as a safety (excluding Richie and J R). Reese was an OLB who we are converting to Safety. I am sure we would use a CB as a safety and have been grooming some to play that role, just not sure who is up to being the leader of the secondary which is what the safeties are. Playing safety is very different to CB.
Wouldnt be surprised to see D Wilson being trained at the safety position , along with the star spot.
@UgaXforPresident (cannot quote) You said, "someone could play in 2019...." Neither your link nor that of @Denmen185 say the blue shirt can PLAY. Doesn't make sense to me that a blue shirt could play in 2019 but count toward 2020 for scholarship 25 limit. What would make sense is that the blue shirt is on scholly beginning 2019, and can PRACTICE in 2019, but not PLAY. Just a guess as to how it works, WEiRd neither link makes that clear (I could have missed it.)
Apologies in advance if I mucked this up. The harm is done - maybe.
A scholarship player signed out of high school counts as an initial. So does a junior college transfer. And so do transfers from four-year schools—be they undergraduates or graduate students. The Group of Five school our Power 5 staffer contacted had bad news: We’re full up.
All count against the 25 if it is their first scholarship at that college. The exception is a WO who has been at that school for 2 full years (see Blankenship and why he had to wait until the ND game to go on scholarship)
BTW That's also why we shouldn't replace Holloman with a Grad Transfer even if available.
Another name not mentioned recently to know as DL Target. FYI Tim Smith is officially off the board as he went public last night.
Is he being recruited by other schools as DL, since he is listed as OT?
Don’t know the answer to that, he’s just a name to know as I asked the plans after the Smith news last night.
The belief is that Carter, Brinson, and Burch will be in the class. We will continue to try to flip Dexter and there’s some confidence we can do that. Obviously, we’re not sure what’s going to happen on DL but my mindset is that any combination of Carter and Burch in the same class is an A class. Add Dexter and it makes it an A+ class. Fill the remaining two slots with BPA for DL: Cowan, Stackhouse, Burroughs, Thomas, Walker.
Really like this kids film. Moves extremely well for a junior @ 300lbs. I like his work at OT as well. He's a baller.
Yeah tape was good. The real question that we don’t know the answer to is how staff views the order of Burroughs, Stackhouse, Cowan, Thomas, Walker. The first two staff obviously likes/liked a lot. Burroughs fills a need, but...Stackhouse has been everywhere but UGA but staff really likes him. Cowan gained weight and hasn’t looked like the same player since moving from DE to DT. Walker is a project with upside. Thomas is a newer name that we don’t have much info on.
This is why it’s so variable and no one can say for sure what’s going on or what’s going to happen.
This is an opinion but if we could get the right 4 (Carter, Burch, Dexter, Brinson or one of those mentioned this morning), I’d be comfy with just 4. Maybe then take BPA with less question marks at another position. JMO.
IF the class includes Burch then I’d consider it pretty great even w/o Dexter. If not then missing on some of the other guys may sting a little IMO.
I watched the Arian Smith tape and yes please. Liked that he’s obviously a football player and not just a speed guy. Maybe the guys in those small schools are all tiny but he looked a little bigger than I expected from his measurements.
Also, isn’t Lakeland supposed to be a Gator area/school? Always a bonus.
