I really don’t blame these young men for all this drama.. They are 17-18 year olds with obvious athletic talent that are being engulfed in publicity, offered tons of $ , and treated like movie stars. I’m sure many are simply overwhelmed and confused and some obviously love the spotlight. I guess it’s something that the media has to point out and it does fill up space in Dawgnation ( especially since it’s obvious that nothing is going to be offered there concerning men/ women’s basketball, gymnastics etc you name it). So I’ll continue to read it while I eat my cereal but it will be the first of December before I consider it as anything more than fiction.
the title of the article says it all. These kids and their “advisors” just pick a school to “pseudo commit” to just to begin the solicitation for bids. Player’s p i m p s can just publish invitations to bid, and on signing day the prospective “student athletes” can just have a ceremony where they open the bids and award their services to highest bidder.
He ain't coming…his "advisors" are looking for the biggest bag.
predicted to flip to Oregon now
He js too talented to not try to keep and younalways plan for just in case. The biggest thing is it doesnt matter if you move on because you will end up right back in this situstion. Its like this with almost every single recruit. It sucks and its maxd it all a realky unemployable process at points, but its tbe way jt iz now. Even the ones that dont gst the spotlight or often times arent being forthcoming about everything have this happening or to some degree are keeping options open. Obviously every recruitment offers a chanxd to differ slightly, but more abd more commit early to their favorite, znd znytjing. Can happen. There are very very few in ghe entire country and even fewer of the ones with most potential that have some lifelong love fkr a program and decide they wanf to go there above all else.
Even thouch its whay you have to deak wit h evrfh recruit Donte Wright has seemed genuine in his feelings about uga. He iz highly sought after and teams like Oregon also hzve a ton to offer and/or advantages that are desirable to any recruit. I wish i1t waz like the old days too. It may get to point thr game is no I longer worth watching, but unless we gst congressional intervention thiz iz what se are stuck with and it probably gets worse. Its always tough to land a guy from across the county and even harder shen z super special almost one of a kind talent like donte Wright that doesnt come around often. Its not over yet in this ond however unlikely it is that he sticks, it still is a chancd. He recognizes uga has everything he desires znd loves he staff.. juzt have fo hope its enough to outweigb how Munch he likes ofhdr schoolz and what they alzo offef.
I do wish kids could zee ghd truth about miami tho and how poor a decision and bad look it is. Sure the money iz z lot more upfront and they have a talented roster that got to NC. Still they play in half empty stadiums 80+%of games every yead against inferior levels of talent teams. Not exactly an awesome or great college experience. In a city full of fakes and the super rich instead of any real college feel. For cozches that perennially have underperformed and lost really bad games while having a low success rate or development rate for blue chip prospects wheb look at least numbers. They have a few guys like bain, toney, maguia who come in as day 1 stars who succeed that never needed development, but the majorify or rest of blue cups almost never be better or are drafted. Plus miami hasnf had a guy be successful in nfl in 15 to 20 years. Any stats or whatever do on field you zs well as scouts and fans wil always wonder what if. What if they had not ran from competetion and played gor team in conference against other top atheletes instead of boring low stakes games against inferior players in empty stadiums. Its just such a bad look with poor longterm advantage and while living amongst the worst version of humans we have the rich who have lived off taking advantage of thosd less fortunate and based down wealth that makes them too large to fail as they sit back and do very little themselves to deserve anything they havd. Associating with those spoiled brats and garbage humans would make me **** knowing how fake I am and that endorsing scum like that by association. Im sure they believe whatever miami sells as reality and they probably fool a lot of people who gst caught up in tbe mondy and charade not being able to see the truth, but still its such an awful look and situation.
@D1Athlete1987 - A man is no better than his word is still true. A page response does not make that untrue. Move on. Go get someone who really wants to be a DGD. Defending kids who don’t understand how important keeping one’s word is, is not a good look. Your excessively long reply is simply a perfect example of how morally corrupt our culture has become. Keeping one’s word is still a huge indicator of one’s character.
Does anybody else wish Kirby would say, “UGA now has three more CBs on our mind, and we will be hosting them on OVs as soon as possible. If our commits are still looking, UGA is still looking.”
