James Johnson and commitment:
Committed until…. Texas drops a bag in front of him.
As the #296 player in the class it’s good to know he’s interested in the development aspect of being a UGA linebacker. My concern is whether he has the speed and physical abilities to play in the SEC in the first place. Hopefully he does. One thing is a pretty sure thing: it’s unlikely any other school will be paying big bucks to the #296 player in the class. So maybe “commitment” actually means commitment in this case. But who really knows these days?
He does appear to have a good head on his shoulders and comes from a good family. Both of those are important in life. Hope he finds success.
Lose 2, get 1. Not a good trend.
Wow, you are something special. Take that how you want.
I will add maximiing future earning potential is exactly why you come to UGA under Kirby Smart. Especially at certain positions and this po sition being one for sure.
One more thing, I seen President Trump is going to sign an executive order on NIL Standards…there you go. You love that right? Probably not because, well nevermind.
Not a trend. The trend is UGA has the #2 class in the nation nd has been in the top 5 for years. There is your MACRO and MICRO trends. And with NIL being reigned in to level the field VERY soon, its only going to stay that way under Kirby.
These trends trump Texas getting 2 guys from UGA. UGA has plenty they have beat Texas and Miami and everybody for, including from the state of Texas. Do not get stuck in the moment, zoom out, see the big picture trends. Texas is about to be reigned in too with NIL limits and then let the best coach and program win, with equal NIL. I put my money on Kirby. You?
Nah, Kirby likes recruiting 4 stars that can't hang in the SEC. Has a history of it lol.
This kid is rated as the 19th best in the world, I think Kirby knows by now what he is looking at when he sees it and can then develop it like no other. Come on man!
Yeah, you know more ethan Kirby and Glenn
Dude, UGA is #2 in the nation for 2026, several spots ABOVE Texas. Get over them getting a couple of wins. UGA just had 3 weeks of wins lol
Einstein here knows better than Kirby, Alabama, Oregon(Dan Lanning) and Michigan and that is just the finalists who wanted him. Man, every school in the nation must be terrible at who they recruit. They should give you or JBMDawg46 the job maybe? Yeah, you two should take over.
That being said, we want culture and those that want to be here, not just that can play elite. Bad for the locker room if they are not here for specific reasons. That is a very good thing for the right culture, as Kirby has said recently.
I will enjoy the UGA linebackers this year. CJ Allen, been waiting for this season to get here for him. 2027-2028 will take care of it self. These guys typically are not ready until the end of year 2 or year 3 on a really good defense and scheme. Development. I am not worried about some guy who took the cash because he could. I am not worried at all, because Kirby develops whoever is here. And there will never be a shortage of LB's to develop.
Enjoy the Kirby era OK? Do not be a hater during the golden years of UGA football. Kirby is todays Saban. Is he even 50 years old yet? Ahhh, soak it in and enjoy. Could not be in better hands and Texas advantage is about to get wiped out by 2027 class, maybe this 2026 class since they have not signed yet….interesting plot twist could be coming to this 2026 class. Yes sir.
