VA F.O. Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Made two posts in the October thread before I remembered it was November now. I'll repost them here. October was possibly the greatest month in UGA Recruiting history. Can November top it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA F.O. Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Rumors circulating that Salyer is actively recruiting Cade Mays to come to UGA. Both will be in Athens Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA F.O. Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Sandidge and Tindall both confirmed to be there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA F.O. Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Tyson Campbell now going to be there as well. Luke Ford will also be there with his family, and not on an official, so he could come back. My understanding (if the 247 page is correct) is this is not an official for Mays either and he will return on December 15 for an Official. Not sure if Campbell is taking this as an official or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Campbell is taking this as an official or not Also hearing Campbell will be unofficial... this is some ridiculous level craziness... I'm not sure I can keep up with this class at this point. One of the guys that I trust has continued to say that we "definitely still have a shot at the #1 overall class"... I'm not sure I buy it, but he's been in the know on literally everything so far, so hard to doubt him as well. I dunno what kind of chaos we'd have planned to make that happen, but would be awesome. In semi-related news to that topic, it sounds like Bama has been actively recruiting Emory Jones from tOSU and has made good headway (tOSU now recruiting UK QB commit - I think from Georgia, name escapes me). Also, has Brenton Cox visiting this weekend and their insiders feel confident that a flip is at least possible. Touching back on what we spoke about before, if tOSU starts losing some of those recruits, #1 class does become a real possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both will be in Athens Saturday. Yep Salyer has made it known he wants to play with Mays. UGA and Clemson are common interests, but Salyer to UGA is about the worst kept secret since Mecole Hardman. On Mays... word is that HE initiated contact with UGA and others. We aren’t trying to convince him to flip, he’s actively looking and an official decommitment is on the way. Whoever UT hires to replace Butch may be able to reel him back in, he would certainly be a high priority as a legacy who grew up in Knoxville, but it would have to be a splash type of hire. It seems Mays is moving on and his dad, who played for the Vols, is being supportive of his decisions here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky earned that kid's commitment back when he was a nobody recruiting wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always seems to miss these other school visits, especially as of late. I have to think that these schools at least half expect him not to show at this point, and Clemson may (spelled probably) be the same way. It's like a running joke at this point. I believe I read also recently that his top two schools are now UGA and Auburn. Kearis Jackson anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA F.O. Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Looking at Jarren Williams' recruiting page, interestingly he is the one with CBs flipping him to Alabama; two on 10/9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that it would suck to see UK lose that commitment. They believed in him long before anyone else did. As far as the flip stuff, I don't follow Alabama closely enough to say really, just sharing what some *very* plugged in Bama recruitniks have said elsewhere.

Interesting that he has all of his OVs scheduled (at least according to his 247 page), and we are the last one. If that's accurate and doesn't change, his timeline of Dec15 OV to Athens coupled with Salyer commitment on that date (assuming he picks the Dawgs) could be very entertaining...

From Wiltfong: Quote After reporting this morning that Ohio State has offered Top247 quarterback Jarren Williams, I have flipped my 247Sports Crystal Ball to Alabama for the Buckeyes current signal-caller pledge Emory Jones. A source with knowledge of the situation believes that Jones will sign somewhere other than Columbus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if it was here or elsewhere, but there was a funny comment about "not ruining <athlete>'s moment... he only get's one of them"... to which of course someone said something along the lines of "unless you're Adam Anderson... then you get 3".

Yep 2 threads on 247 were deleted that dealt with AA before his most recent commitment. 25 minutes ago, g-dawg said: Help this recruiting novice understand what you are implying here. Recently threads in the past two months that were deleted on 247 seemed to all revolve around recruits that later committed to UGA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
