'....reserving comment..."? 😂
Well, @JeffSentell on page 70 of his Hurry Up thread said not to tout that you (anyone) know what will happen with Evans. So, there.
I agree with the letting it go part but why are we forced to feign happiness? He's not in this program and the most you can expect someone to feel is the same for anyone else that's not part of this program: hope he gets his education and stays healthy but mostly just indifference.
Since I overtly dislike Ohio State, I can't even say I hope he's successful.
He's a wise sage in this regard. Knowing the circumstances around Evans, you can count on one thing. Kirby is keeping a tight lid on information and intentions. There's no email server in a closet somewhere in Colorado on this baby.
In regards to the incidents that Evans was involved in - @SoFL_Dawg was dead on.
In regards to the fact that Evans has tried to commit to UGA a couple of times in the past few weeks and Georgia wouldn't accept yet - he is dead on.
Whether or not Georgia has moved on from Evans or not - all @SoFL_Dawg can do is trust his sources.
Is it possible things could change? Sure. Is it possible the staff is still monitoring the situation? Sure.
But regardless what the other sites say - if Georgia had zero issues with Evans - he would be committed by now.
If you don't trust @SoFL_Dawg info that's fine. But it seems that you just didn't like the bad news and you were determined to read somewhere that contradicted the info.
Ahhhhh yeah, “the sources”. Funny how you’re never In front of any of the info but you have those all knowing sources. We’ll see what happens. Guess that’s like predicting the stock market after it moves huh?
As a reminder, so you can run tell your friends, find someone who posted about UGA and Evans before me on any site. Find someone who broke the news he was an imminent commitment before me on any site. Besides aren’t those sites your sources? I dropped the 247 news first there, even had your boy Rusty “give a tip of the cap” for that after he confirmed it. There isn’t a poster who wants Evans to be a Dawg more than I do simply because I prefer my original prediction dated back in Feb of this year to be right.
You and I don’t sit at the same tables or interact with the same circles little buddy. All sources aren't created I suppose.
SoFL even said in bold text in the Evans post “So, it has not been confirmed that we are no longer pursuing Evans, but all indicators are pointing that way.”
Worst case he is wrong about saying he thinks we are moving away. I know I’d much rather have him give us his recruiting information and occasionally be off on something than only ever post once something is 100% locked in. But let’s get after him about something that we don’t even know is wrong yet and run him off again...
You've got it wrong pal. Someone else from the state of Florida brought up your post on BI. They wanted to know who you were and if you were a true "insider".
I'd say his posts on here are more than enough to give that away... >.>
Got a link?

...am I allowed to say that I think the staff has a better read on fit and character regarding players than we do?
What if just for a second we eliminated all insider info (not that I don't love it) and just went from public observation for a sec. The UGA staff only had a few days during an open week to visit recruits. Dell is the ace. Dell went to NSHS, so clearly staff is involved with Zachary Evans.
Were they out there telling him to drop a commitment? Were they out in Texas investigating? No way to know. What we DO know is that they care enough about this particular recruit that they are spending valuable (limited!) time and resources on getting the decision right. That in and of itself is enough to quell the worries.
Think about this for a second. We have what, 22-23 available spots in this class? If you take Evans and he gets suspended, in trouble, transfers...you could have taken the BPA. That's a huge loss. You lose both the player you did take and the player you could've taken by way of opportunity cost. All this to say, evaluation is important. Character matters for its own sake, but it also matters because it can impact the ability of an amazing talent to get on the field.
Say what you want about the kid...I'm not one to down on a young man anyway, we all make mistakes...but SOMETHING occurred that warranted the #1 RB in the country being held off the field at his high school for some pretty big games. Don't you want the staff to make the right call to make sure it doesn't happen at UGA? Say you take a "lesser" back, which by no means is a guarantee...wouldn't he be better than a #1 back that can't/won't get on the field due to suspension/expulsion/transfer/etc?
This is getting to the point of “yeah, I won the lottery... but look at all of the taxes I have to pay...”
this site is more fun with inside info... the info is fluid and changes like an 18 year old man changes his mind.... because... 18 year old males... change their minds
now, maybe I am speaking only for myself, but could some of you ungrateful folks simply take the info you think is pertinent and not feel like you have to comment negatively on Every. Single. Thing?
rant over.
BTW, my post was not downing insider info. Don't know if you read it that way. My point I was attempting to make was not to bash the messenger because you don't happen to like what they say. SoFl got slammed by some folks who wanted Evans simply because he brought word that we may be moving on. I was just saying that if staff is moving on, there is an easily deducible reason—even without inside info—as to why that's ok and that there's no reason to get mad.
You love me. Always have. Bring something more to the table bro besides following me around making asinine threads. “Do more”. You’ve been a waste of time since last cycle. Funny how you went away back then, I can’t even recall what you were **** about then.
If you have real sources, go ask them about our DL recruiting. I’ve been holding some stuff for a long while. I’d love for you to be the first to drop something to prove that you are what you think you are, “knowledgeable”.
I’ll wait...
