Thanks. A lot of work there.
Not sure of what optimal numbers are between OL/DL. 3 deep for OL sounds good but they don’t rotate like DL. I think we have 12 DL for next year plus OLBs which makes the line 3-4 deep depending on formation which sounds plenty. More than numbers for DL, I would like more depth at NT/DT unless Netori can step up (forgot him when counting) and another SDE (Jermaine Johnson May fill that role though) for necessary packages.
It is amazing how quickly some of these Volstars changed their tunes today:
Last Night:
This morning:
The NLI is binding on both parties. If Evans opts out he would almost certainly have to sit out a year unless he has a serious valid and provable reason to not enroll. As far as UGA is concerned they would have to count him as a 2020 recruit whether he enrolls or not. They would also risk being sued for compensation if they deny him a scholarship in addition to any penalties imposed by the NCAA
Regarding Evans, I think it's more of a kid behaving badly than a bad kid behaving normally.
I'm sure he's not the only entitled 18 year old who lacks perspective or concern for optics. It doesn't sound like he's stealing cars or picking fights or a borderline school drop out. It feels like he doesn't like his coaches is ready to leave high school behind and lacks a little self control to deal with these types of situations.
College is supposed to help all kids learn how to deal with these situations, not just supremely talented 5 star RBs. He, and we, will be fine, as long as he commits to the G.
Can we move on from this Evans speculation. If he was benched because he didn’t hand over his phone the night before . That speaks more so of the coach and his disregard for basic civil liberty .
Thanks but not really a lot of work as I have the scholarship roster in excel in order of class with filters on each column. I will compile a 2020 one by just deleting the departing players and adding incoming ones. The current summary is:
F5 is DL/OLB and look for 14 DL and 7 OLB. As you see we have/had 21 in 2019 and expect to lose 5 (Seniors minus Rochester), The current signees stand at 4 which is why I think we go for Jackson in the last 4 to be added. I still wonder if Marshall will seek a 6th year given his injury issues the last 2 years. If he comes back and no-one enters the portal I would switch to getting Manning as the 4th target over Jackson.
Assuming we are gone on offense (DW and Evans) and Ringo is in the fold.
Best Player Available, you got one Scholly left to use, who you got (include why if you like) ? (Top Choice and “Backup”)
ILB - DJ Lundy
DT - McKinnely Jackson
DB - Rashad Battle
DB - Daran Branch
S - Avantea Williams
Jackson hands down. Can always use another DL.
After that probably Williams since I think UF wants him.
Think I’m gonna to Jackson here with bpa. Can’t have too many big guys on the DL
If I walked I to a business (for the first time) while an employer and employee were having a disagreement, and I chimed in with my opinion I would be (rightfully) labeled an arse for choosing EITHER side, because I would be the guy who knew 3% of the story and acted like I had an answer...
A coach trying to remove all distraction prior to a big game is a disregard for civil liberty. Most every coach in the world would be guilty of this.

Ditto on Jackson as DL is always a need, but would bump Williams up if they don’t already have a commit by Manning.
Jackson, then Lundy
It sounds like oil and water do not mix, which is Evans and the coaching staff at his high school. It does not sound like Evans is a bad person, just like Pickens. They just need some love and guidance. Kirby will teach them and allow them to grow up. No worries here for what they have done this year. Very much overblown for both kids. Optics are bad for both, but I do not see anything that cannot be fixed with father figure type of coaches/staff that we have at UGA.
At the risk of sounding like a B, can we move the Evans opinions to another thread? Yes, he's a recruit, but this isn't about his recruitment.
Any kid that is trying to enroll early in to college and is a premier athlete definitely has there priorities straight. I don’t care what anyone says.
Both times Zach Evans has decided on Georgia there is an incident with his coaching staff. Now this could totally be a coincidence, but it is interesting if nothing else.
Additionally, the coaches are the adults. They are held to a higher standard. If his attitude warrants sending home, then he shouldn’t be on the team. Doing it now, and over a phone, smacks of pettiness. If this isn’t a case of seizing opportunity to create the worst possible optics for Evans and UGA, then I don’t know the motivation. It’s not fair to the teammates who want to win a title. As much as Evans owes his team to behave, the coaches have a greater obligation to do what’s best for the team. Sending the best player home because of a phone is, in my opinion, disproportionate to the situation and makes everyone involved look bad in an avoidable situation.
Agree and should add "and appears to be able to". That's not easy and requires hard work.
