Thanks for the rundown. 4 was more what I was thinking as well but some newer names have been mentioned with us as candidates the last 1-2 weeks. As we all saw with Sewell last week things can change. It just got me thinking about BPA scenarios and could 5-6 WRs be more likely. 6 WRs seemed a little high for roster management unless the staff see 1-2 of them potentially moving to DB ala Webb.
Isn’t Zy walker supposed to commit sometime this week?
Yes, hopefully tomorrow
James Franklins name heating up with FSU, could be a positive for the Dawgs and Theo Johnson
It could help with TJ but could that be a net loss for us overall, though? I would say Kirby's dominance in recruiting has definitely benefited in FSU's downfall the last 3-4 yrs. If Franklin were to go there does anyone doubt he would have them winning 10+ and competing in a weak ACC within 1-2 yrs max? It would be 1 more marquee program to compete with on the trail. Feels like our recruiting battles with them have been essentially non- existant recently. Probably an even bigger headache for MuLLLen, though.
Yeah, I’m liking us having an easy time in Miami. Franklin would make that a bit harder.
itll balance it out. We need FSU or Miami to offer some resistance to Clemson. He’ll get some south GA kids for sure. To add a lil hate into it, he hasn’t exactly set the recruiting trail ablaze at PSU.
We still have the best recruiting staff in the country as currently constructed.
You can look at it that way, but at some point FSU will hit on a coach. Those battles for S.GA and FL kids with them will be back, only a matter of time.
I tend to look at the Now positives, so to speak. Give me TJ and we deal with FSU later.
FSU would also hurt uf which benefits us too.
We have a stud staff and can compete with anyone to get who we want.
Where is chatter coming from? Doesn't make sense.
Why would Pennsylvania guy leave Penn State for FSU? Why would anyone leave Penn state for FSU?
I guess showing interest helps get a contract extension.
247 Reporter Josh Newburg - Covers the Big 3 in FL.
Why leave PSU for FSU ?
1) Recruiting - FL is a hot bed and he is just below GA, where they have traditionally had a footing in S.GA. Getting kids to stay home or come to FL vs Pennsylvania is much easier.
2) Would you rather live in Florida or Pennsylvania ?
3) ACC is down and much weaker overall than Big10. Better chance at going to the playoff there than at PSU
4) Money, could be a hefty contract to get him to sign
If I had to guess, Franklin is using this to get about a million more a year out of PSU, and/or higher buyout. Could be wrong, but just guessing.
Agree
Really was just pointing out that this uncertainty at PSU cant do anything but help us with Theo, and then we kind of got off track haha. All good
All valid points
FSU is more of a national brand than PSU in all honesty. PSU most relevance in my lifetime was the Sandusky scandal. They have some good players in the league but FSU has real stake in DBU, is a hotbed for recruiting as well, and kids that had been born anywhere from 2002 on would have seen a national title from them.
Back on schedule - Next Up Z Walker
You beat me to it. Bringing it back to focusing on 2020 class, if people had to pick one player as a candidate for a signing day Kirby flip special for this class who would it be? Not who do you want but who could be the most realistic.
Yeah I don’t think Franklin going to FSU would be good for UGA - Dawgs recruiting picking up in State of Florida is partly due to rudderless FSU and Cousin Eddie’s lack of recruiting acumen in Gainesville.
I think the Kirby special is going to be a 2nd running back this year. Put me down for Chaney or Tank
