Long way to go there
@BrooklynDawg So did our staff lie to Webb since we recruited him as a WR and then placed him as a DB? No, these kids are athletes and when practice starts against top tier talent it’s easier to evaluate and sell where they are a better fit if a position change is determined. I don’t think coaches just “stick” someone without basis and player agreement . I’m sure the idea was WR until team depth at DB was impacted. Outside person looking in could say we lied to him but we all know that’s not true.
Amen Brother. Not living in GA has made me pretty immune to the GA bias, this forum definitely leans towards the GA boys... Reading Tank is better than Evans or Milton made my head spin
Arik Gilbert is on Jeff Sentell’s top ten recruits list and has been forever. So are both Darnell Washington and Theo Johnson. I would rather have a happy Darnell Washington and Theo Johnson over either one and an unhappy Arik Gilbert.
From what I have read, I don’t know enough to do my own evaluations. The best place talent wise for Arik Gilbert is at DE. The next best place is TE. I am sure that on a Conference USA team he would be able to play WR and start all four years. I think in the SEC he needs to play TE or DE. A question does Arik Gilbert have enough speed to get separation on Nolan Smith, Quay Walker, Jermaine Johnson, Nakobe Dean, Noah Sewell or Mekhail Sherman. I also worry if he does not want to listen to where his best playing opportunity is from the coaches will he listen to other things the coaches say to him.
This is why we stay on topic
With only taking 5 DL and choosing between Brinson, Stackhouse and Z Walker for the last 2 spots I’d think that it would be the last 2 but CTS seems to really like Brinson. I don’t know that I’d drop anyone else for them but is the thought that there’s a possibility one of those commitments doesn’t stick? I also thought I read staff wants to keep Stackhouse
Ringo’s mom has de facto committed to the G so Ringo must be committed too right?
Good to know, thanks for the updates and keep killing it.
Webb was a 2 way player in high school who wasnt going to get on the field as a WR and requested to go to the DB side, that is not the same.
If UGA keeps recruiting at the best level in football and once a couple years go by at Tech I could see a few guys like Tank and Gilbert who JUST missed out on fitting at UGA end up at Tech.
That would make things interesting,
That’s my biggest hang up. I’d take a willing and excited Theo over Gilbert....especially if Gilbert is pushing back against coaches and having the potential to create drama or a distraction in the locker room or isn’t “All in” with the team and being in the best position to succeed.
You don’t want 18yo kids who think they know better than an SEC coach. It’s not good for team chemistry and can hurt trust in coaches and cause much larger tension outside of just that relationship.
That should be the the main issue no matter the talent.
Youre either all in or all out.
Still saying SVP next to commit
OTOH, should Cam Newton have come to UGA and been a TE? I do get your point though.
I always assumed that Burroughs was out.
The real question is when Dexter flips....
Going to need to really build up Tech (dont see it) to get 5 stars and high 4s to sign up out of highschool. (Transfers back “home” is another thing)
If Tech can get back to where they were in the 90s i can see them bringing in high 3 and low 4s regularly.
