Ladd McConkey: His last-minute recruiting story triggers goosebumps
What do you need to know about this Ladd McConkey kid from North Murray High in North Georgia? Well, pretty much everything about a highly uncommon recruiting story.
Comments
Everybody loves and underDawg. This young man has a story that makes it easy to be a fan of his. Hope he decides to come to Athens and play for championships.
The kid is fast, and smart too. I'd like to see him in red and black.
It would really **** to lose him to UTn.
If he goes to Tennessee, good luck to him. If he comes to Athens, he'll get the coaching to where he won't need luck.
Great read Jeff! Easy to see why this young man's stock is rising.
Monken-McConkey 2020 sounds like a winning ticket
Interesting story. He would enjoy UGA and contribute I think.
Go, Dawgs!
I like the Monken way of getting athletes, regardless of the STAR power! Of course, it takes Kirby's approval.
Weighing 175...after eating three steaks and putting $10 of pennies in his pockets...this kid will never make it in the SEC...it is probably a good idea to give him a scholarship though....this will help with in-state recruiting
I think he would be a good addition at slot. We need guys who are shifty like he is. He made those dbs look silly on that tape. He reminds me of Isabella from UMASS in 2018. The one that destroyed our dbs for over 200 yds. I hope we get him. But I have a feeling Tennessee will offer once they find out he's a fan. It will be an uphill battle then. But it's also the same thing if tech/tenn/FL/AUB offered my son and uga hadn't. When it comes to an education, do what you can to get one. Don't matter from where.
I see the Andy Isabella comparison as well. Could be an excellent sleeper pick for UGA and, I figure that, now that he has an offer from the Dawgs, a UT offer will follow. I hope he gets one. Personally, I'd rather the Dawgs add him to the team rather than Zach Evans.
Don't underestimate the combination of speed, dexterity, AND intellegence. The kid's IQ is probably in the mid 120's. That's a nice combination of natural talents.
Besides, he'll put on weight over the next couple of years, and with proper training will be able to balance that weight with strength and speed.
Andy Isabella!! Exactly! We couldn't stop that dude. Stay home KId. Be a DAWG, play for a Natty and be a legend.
He about broke that DB's ankle at the opening deal. Made him look slow footed.
Brings to mind Andy Isabella, the small (and yes, white) receiver for UMASS who absolutely torched Georgia's defense last year.
Seems like a nice young man. But doesn't Ga only have 2 spots left? Do they know something about Jones or Van Pran? Wouldn't this put them over? Maybe Jeff Sentell can clear this up. But if I had to choose between this kid or the o-linemen. Sorry , would rather have size and strength in the trenches.
My takeaway from this is that Smart is going after the pieces that Monken wants for the offense. It gives me more confidence that Smart is going to let Monken run things the way he wants. I think that will be a good thing. Go Dawgs!
Sounds like a great young man and student athlete. I’m impressed that UGa has offered him because there are scores of higher ranked recruits begging for a Dawg scholarship. It looks like he may or may not get one from the Vols depending on what other recruits decide to do in February. Hmmmm, hope he selects the better program that offered him before seeing what other players decided to do. Go Dawgs and good luck Ladd.
