LawDawg Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 So what's the timeline for a commitment from either Ford or Reese? Both are trending fast and furious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankly88 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I was wondering if Ford was one of those kids that falls in love with each team after every visit? The Georgia love just seems so sudden from what (admittedly little) I have seen regarding his recruitment. I had the impression he was a Bama lean.

Most believe that Bama is prioritizing the Juco tight end now (DWA initials maybe? On phone at conference... Don't feel like looking him up). Ford is most likely to end up in Athens either way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Georgia love just seems so sudden from what (admittedly little) I have seen regarding his recruitment. I had the impression he was a Bama lean. Was never an Alabama lean. He was just high on them. Sentell's been pumping the Ford to UGA train since long before Fields committed. It's been long believed that the kid was headed to the SEC, but while Alabama was an established product, UGA had a lot to prove. That and the Fields commitment, who he's been very vocal as to wanting to play with, just put us over the top. I'm sure the Alabama mods will be saying that Alabama is prioritizing the JUCO product, but there's also a strong argument to make that the reason they are, is because they saw Ford leaning our way, especially after Fields committed. That just sealed the deal. All that really remained was for him to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VA F.O. Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Cory Fravel flipped his CB for Hill to UGA. The significance here is that he was the lone remaining CB to FSU. The only other non-UGA CB is Niebuhr's Foggy. I'd say it's pretty clear that UGA has no intention of sacrificing Hill to take Mays. Salyer, Mays, and Hill are all takes.

Salyer, Mays, and Hill are all takes. I would welcome all three, but I’m really not wrapping my head around the numbers with the hard cap on 25 now. We have 7 spots left and if we are presumably going with Salyer, Mays, Hill, Tindall, Reese as in... that leaves 2 spots for Ford, Barmore (or Cooper), Campbell (or Joseph/Frierson), Jamarr Chase/Alontae Taylor. 3 star LB/DE Caleb Johnson is also apparently a priority and we would take him if he commits. I just don’t see these numbers working out unless the staff knows a couple currently committed guys won’t be signing with UGA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG on 247 has already said that the word is we're gunning really hard for that #1 spot, and you'll see at least a few decommits in the coming months.

Well Jacob Eason will transfer so there is one spot - there is always going to be 3-4 guys transfer a year, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 We are going to be under 85 anyway. My point is about the 25 in this class. You can’t sign more than 25 anymore, it’s a hard cap. We have about 10 players that most are considering Dawgs and only 7 spots left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of maybe 5 guys tops, every OL pre-2017 should be transferring away imo, that is, if they ever want to see the field at least.

It's a similar situation to Fravel and Newberg. He won't pull that CB till the last minute, no matter how many others change. Gotta get those clicks.

Carter Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 6 minutes ago, Ransack said: No back counting anymore on early enrollees? Nope, there is a hard cap of 25 signees for a recruiting year now. It went into effect in August. No more back counting... not for early enrollees, not even if a school doesn’t sign a full class of 25 the year before. Texas (18) and Clemson (14) both undersigned big time for the 2017 class and they will not be able to sign more than 25. I think the new approach to getting around this will be the preferred walk-on route. But that is obviously something many kids won’t go for when they have a full ride scholarship on the table elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
