I got a question....Other than the sports media world and high-dollar "flapping-gums"....who said, "Caleb Downs wants to come to UGA.".....OR....."Kirby Smart is recruiting Caleb Downs to UGA.".
Did those words ever come out of either mouth [or, fingertips, Lol]?
Is ???.......Everybody just assuming, that's the case....when there could be a number of reasons that Kirby has passed on Downs. He passed on Will Anderson. Never offered him a scholarship....and, he was right down the road.
Kirby could be protecting the "culture" he built in Athens, by NOT bringing him in. UGA already has "stars" at that position, and maybe Downs wasn't willing to discus a position change, to Corner.
In any case....everybody should still be happy with where the Dawgs are, right now....especially in the defensive backfield. Getting Downs would've just been a Cherry on a very rich cake. Nice....but, unnecessary.
3 new sentences (with errors) and a C&P. Good work C.
Yawn. No more controversy over him now. I think we have some pretty dawg gone good players in our secondary room. We Might already have a Caleb Downs type player or Two that just haven’t had the opportunity to Show their skills yet. This could be a blessing in disguise. Anyway he’s not coming to UGA. Let’s do battle with what we have. Go Dawgs !!
When di osu win a title? Who has the most player drafted in the last 3 years? Clue It aint osu with the whiney coach
Would’ve been nice to get him, but as someone already said, you can’t get everyone. And it wasn’t a position of need. For this story, I’m more concerned about the atrocious lack of proofreading-
“Georgia has once again spurned the Georgia Bulldogs, as the safety committed to Ohio State.”
So can we finally stop reading that old and VERY tired comment about how he doesn’t play like a freshman? Good grief, I am so sick of seeing that in every article.
Let’s waste no more space on this kid as he has nothing to do with the Georgia program.
To me the real story is all of the predictions by so called experts that he was going to come to UGA. Sort of like Dan Lanning was in Tuscaloosa the day after Saban's retirement, when in fact he was in meetings all day at Oregon and went home to watch a movie with his kid. Too much fake news and pure speculation just for clicks. It sure sparked a lot of conversation on this forum, myself included. Bottom line, we don't know what Kirby did or didn't do to bring him here. Just last month we were celebrating Kirby flipping KJ. I see plenty of talent in the safety room. Let's enjoy what will probably be Starks last year. I envision a early rotation at the other safety position between Dan Jackson, with his experience, and KJ with his off the charts talent, until KJ takes the reins for the majority of the snaps. With KJ in early, maybe he is ready day 1 against Clemson, like Starks against Oregon. As far as T Rob, I agree with a prior post, he was brought in for the future as a top recruiter and possibly the next DC if Schu ever leaves. His title already is Co DC.
It’s always disappointing when a talented young man chooses another university. But in the end, we wish them well and move on.
Guys, believe me, the Ohio State Collective got involved on this deal quickly. NIL dollars usually rule the roost with these big time stars.
While we lost this battle, we definitely have a much better roster overall than the Buckeyes.
DAWGS have a very talented DB room already..so no big loss to me, since he doesn't truly want to be a Bulldog anyway. Best of luck at Ohio st..GoDAWGS!
Enjoy the cold.
Re: Caleb Downs
I was already noting the silence in the press and thought that was foreboding. He sounded like a great get. But, you can't win 'em all. You win some, lose some and some......................get rained out.
@BigDawg61
If you thought Kirby was right about about Will Anderson please stop embarrassing yourself by posting comments. Kirby even admitted as much
Also Mrs.Bennett, Stetson never made me forget about Caleb Williams. Just because we won with him (personal problems and all) doesn't mean it wouldn't have been easier to win without him
