If your goal is to end up in a text thread with just you and the rest of these posters blowing sunshine up each other while the sky falls around you, I think you're *getting close to it.
Either talk recruiting or take it to PM's......
What I know about 2020 QBs: Beck is a competitor. He's going to put his head down and go. No matter who comes in from this class.
The idea of a second QB signee has been presented to him. He gets it. Understands the numbers with 11 potentially entering the draft and the other presenting factor there on the QB depth chart.
He was good with Fromm taking another year in CFB, too. That's been the same feeling since he committed. He felt it could only benefit him to to learn under No. 11 for a season.
What I don't know about 2020 QBs: How would he handle a grad transfer coming in? That's the unknown. My guess is his outlook would remain the same. Beck wants to be a Bulldog. He'd just put his head down and go.
My understanding of the situation is he is already going to be on campus in December for bowl practices. The decision timeline with any Fromm choice would come after he's already on campus. That's just the right thing to do. If we know one thing about the Georgia QB, it is that he's going to put what is best for the team ahead of his own personal outlook at all times.
Classes have been heavily GA influenced though thru Kirby.
2016 I'll leave out cause most guys would've started and left early.
2017 - 16/25 ... Grant, Stokes, Herring, Thomas, Fromm, LeCounte all starters in state (Swift, Wilson, Landers, Rice all OOS starters - Webb sometimes)
2018 - 14/24 ... Azeez, Hill, Camarda all starters in state (Davis, Campbell, Mays all OOS starters- Mays may not be with healthy Ben)
2019 - 8/25 ... Nolan, Walker, Blay all in state starters (Pickens and Dean OOS starters) ... Cager and Wolf left out but they are OOS as well. (Daniel instate has started some games as well for Campbell).
2020 - 5/16 currently ... I'd foresee no in state starters and Zirkel as the only OOS (Maybe Milton, Rosemy, Beck)
Not bad numbers.... GA had a boom in 2018 and 2017. 2019 was decent but not as strong anBooth and OP left. 2020 is overall deep but not position fits (Murphy and AG excluded). No successful school stays local. Not even UF or USC during their peak. The local talent are usually the "stars" and then depth pieces that have local support and wont get homesick
Rumor is that Theo Johnson is having a hard time deciding between the production at PSU (Freiermuth is having a big season), the total team picture at UGA, or the family feel of Michigan. It would be very surprising to see him go Iowa...
Having Carson Beck will definitely help us here, we're the only team with above average QB recruiting, and it doesn't hurt that we're more successful than the other teams (at this moment). I'd say that the end of the season and the trending of the teams will be a big pull for Mr. Johnson. Let's hope PSU drops a few and Sean Clifford doesn't look good in the games. The delay really hurts PSU, Michigan is #3 right now, but sometimes family atmosphere prevails.
I wonder if he is at all concerned about Harbaugh's job security?
@JeffSentell, re: looking for a 2nd QB in this class what do you think about Stroud vs a grad transfer? Is it too early for chatter on the transfer front? I'm just wondering if Fromm were to jump after this year and let's say we pulled Stroud as the 2nd QB recruit then next year's QB room would be Mailman, Mathis (?), Beck, Stroud, walk-on? I know Stroud is a talent but I just don't know if two incoming FR QBs are what our roster needs.
You really think Coach Jeff Scott wouldLose out to coach Hankton For a elite receiver prospects there he wants? Doubt it. UGA will beat Clemson for RB, and OL but not WR.
Hi Clemson fan,
Welcome to the board. Pro tip, reading comprehension is key on here. As you'll notice that the member you're responding to said "at least I hope so," as in he's not saying it's guaranteed.
This PSA brought to you by Marlow's Tavern, Marco's Pizza, and Dixie V0dka. Cheers
Cheers too you man. Found this board form the dawgs 247 talking about the great SoFlaDawg, and Jeff. Not a dawg hater btw. I actually get a lot of flack on the Clemson247 board for being unbiased to UGA. So I come in peace. I’ve read every page on this thread since joining lol
Welcome!
Welcome. We're not hostile to opposing fans here. Just be respectful and be reasonable and we'll all get along. As you may have noticed, a Clemson fan is one of the most respected posters in the site and I look forward to you adding to the discussion.
A couple of points on the people getting in a kerfuffle about the Evans/2nd RB recruitment. I think you can be worried about the fact that two years in a row the Dawgs likely have put off getting a 2nd RB until another year and for a team like ours, that can be concerning. Not just #s but it's putting A LOT on Zeus being back all the way. PWOs? OK?
So I can see @ihateusernames point without it being a condemnation of the staff. Stuff has happened beyond their control and that's life but it doesn't change the #s and while it's being said that RB is now not a primary concern, why is that?
Because they aren't happy with the 3rd tier to take one of them because the value isn't there or because they've seen so much from the backups this year that they decided no real need? I'd hope the latter but suspect the former.
I don't think it's an instate or out of state thing at all though and I was fine with going all in on Evans but worry about the #s, especially breaking in a new QB and O-line so probably going to be even more run heavy(if that's possible).
It's because we are getting Joe Brady as the OC and no longer need 5 RBs
Gonna be throwing it 65% of the time with Jake Fromm/D'Eriq King back there in 2020.
I can't say that I've seen much of this but would we recruit a grad transfer RB? Seems like most backs good enough to where we would want them only stay for 3 years and then jump anyway, I guess. Just something I haven't seen mentioned. Maybe juco?
If Prather as the fifth RB and has to play we got bigger problems
^^^^FYI, when I put that gif above, didn't know the smoke was gonna produce a dollar sign. Not indicating bags being dropped - lol.
my question for @JeffSentell would be if the Dawgs signed Stroud to pair w/ Beck as incoming true freshmen - seems that would hurt efforts at recruiting Caleb Williams for the 2021 class. Seems like it would probably be an "either/or" scenario as Caleb has options as #1 QB and 5-star in 2021 class.
I think you fill your immediate needs now and worry about the next recruiting cycle afterwards. The same issue will arise if UGA lands Williams in the 2021 class. If Caleb Williams comes to UGA, then you might be out of the running for Stockton the following year. If you let a recruit that is more than a class out, influence your current recruiting plan, it very well could bite you in the ass and most likely will.
