Day after Early Signing Day
Are we realistically still in the fight for Evans (either by ours or his choice)?
Do we anticipate Burch taking an official visit? Sorry if this has been discussed.
he officialed for the USC game
Until he signs, yes. He is still a priority target if not the priority target at the position. I don’t think Evans knows what Evans is going to do at this point.
I don’t see being able to take a second QB and Evans though so we’ll see how it shakes out.
Jeff said the usc game he showed up on an unofficial
December was last I heard but yes. Also hearing he could be at game this weekend which I’d assume will be an unofficial. That recent chatter is that LSU is now in the mix as well.
On record though, I think we’ve done enough and will secure his commitment.
@CZCashvilleDawg and @SoFL_Dawg y’all are just about the only ones (along with @JeffSentell) that I “go to” on these matters. As @JeffSentell is a bit more tied to his journalistic standards, and the codes of conduct that job entails, I’ll spare asking him. But I am asking both of y’all, does #1 rated SDE Jordan Burch “commit to the good guys” on that day in mid December (in y’all’s opinion) will he become a DAWG??? Thanks in advance for your answers, and GO DAWGS!!!!
I want TJ and DW, a combo I've had strong feelings about for some time now.
Guys, I just don't know if I truly see it happening for several reasons, all of which are just conjecture with nothing to back them up.
Those two together take that TE room to ridiculous places, and the pitch of Hartley and our O just not having guys like them on the team is real. We don't have a DW on this team...Who does for that matter?
TJ is fast and athletic walks into Athens immediately contesting for a spot and I say that as a big fan of Seither.
Two freaks IMO. TJ and DW are just two freaks and I really, really want them both.
Not to speak for @SoFL_Dawg, but if you look at the post above yours, you will see he made this statement:
On record though, I think we’ve done enough and will secure his commitment.
Sounds pretty solid to me.
I'll suggest that Arik may look more polished now because he plays a more competitive brand of high school football. And it's likely not even close.
More concentration on the sport, goes against better players every Friday night, most likely....but not necessarily....better coaching, and probably significantly better off season work.
That gives him a leg up on day one......not necessarily year two.
I believe so...can’t post my go to because that means “no worries” but I believe we’ve done enough.
Clemson dropped the ball over the summer, I don’t mind being a top back up option. Momma Burch probably still likes USCjr as top choice, but their coach won’t be there to see Burch for a full 3 years. We enter as the best compromise. Hearing LSU now in the mix as well but I believe we’ve done enough.
To clarify, the earlier visit was an unofficial. Because well, I know such things.
And then there's proof. Check that badge. OVs earn a different one
You're a solid poster on our board but looks like your source (Ms. Hickey) was wrong on this one.
I would suggest at his height that DW may struggle with blocking early on.
It is very likely that DW struggles early on in the SEC. I can almost assure you that at his height and being in high school he will struggle some with lower body strength and getting and staying low.
This is a huge struggle with most very tall kids.
It will be corrected by our S&C program but will take time.
Of all 3.....DW seems to be the most intriguing and may have the greatest upside. But all 3 should be very good. Just realize these really tall kids may need a little time.
Another thing to think about with Theo Johnson.
He plays football in a different league. With a different set of rules. In Canada.
Wait until he gets a chance to play with dudes who can do what he does. With you know, not being limited to only have three downs on offense.
Wonder what the stats of all the HS football players in the U.S. would look like if everyone punted on third down?
He reminds me of Gronk. Gronk had a solid upper body and was known as a good blocker. But he has a small lower section. I noticed that he blocked with throws and arm extension release to route. He is who I can see DW being if he buys into the system.
Just glad this circus will be over soon
Does this circus ever end?
We are just a couple of months away from the 2021 kid who Georgia or Clemson has to sign if either has any chance to win.
