D line talent is going to be unreal with this kid, Thompson, Ledbedder, Rochester, Manac...

Hate our secondary just too bad that Wiggins, Langley, JHC and Tray Matthews all had to be shitheads...

Hope Roquan Smith comes in ready to play a lot as a freshman also....

I made two guest appearances in the back ground of the new spring prarctice video. Including the one showing a terrible snap.

Anybody else get the feeling that we're going to be here past this weekend?

Rusty’s Notes

***Many have asked after the seeing the video on Sunday night , what Sage Hardin weighs. He told me that he is 6-6, 282 pounds right now which is great weight at this time heading into the last two months of high school. Said it last year, that Hardin has the frame to carry 315 lbs easily. He should get a look on the 2 deep when he gets to Athens and if he picks up things quickly.

***Did talk with a trusted source this weekend on Devondre Seymour and he looks good to go to enroll in early June. He has been out of football for a year redshirting and not practicing after taking some online classes at home. However he will now have 3 to play 3. If he comes in in shape and I am told he is working hard and carry around 315 lbs in a 6-5 frame, he may get some reps on Saturdays quickly. This will be a big summer and camp for him.

***Looking more into the Jonah Williams commit things sound very solid on him to the Tide. He did personally reach out to UGA staff and tell them he was committing to Alabama I am told. I do expect UGA to continue to recruit him and the key will be whether or not they get him on campus or not next fall for an unofficial or official visit.

***Did confirm that UGA staff and Spalding County OT Brodarius Hamm have been in communication, much more than I thought and they talk weekly. I fully expect UGA to make a run at him with his size. It is pretty clear that UGA is trying to get bigger quickly. I will double check but it sounds like he will be in Athens this week for the G-Day game.

***I also continue to hear that Trent Thompson is doing good and should be ok with his academics, barring some big surprise in the next two months expect him to report a few days after he graduates in late May to Athens.

Kipp’s Notes

*** Following his visit to Georgia last week, Top247 defensive back Chad Clay told Dawgs247 that Georgia still lead in his recruitment. Clay visited Ohio State over the weekend, and following the trip, said Ohio State and Georgia are now tied at the top. He tentatively plans to visit Florida Wednesday and Thursday. Clay is unsure if he is going to attend G-Day on Saturday, but admits he could be ready to make a decision by the end of May. It will be interesting to see which cornerbacks the staff visits when the evaluation period begins later this month.

*** Georgia will be entering a crucial three-day period, as No. 1 overall prospect Jacob Eason will be in Athens for the first time since he committed to the Bulldogs. This visit is very important, as Eason wants to take a closer look at the direction offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is going in. Eason expects to like what he sees, and trust me when I say top prospects are drawn to the thought of coming in the same class as the five-star commitment.

*** Speaking of top prospects drawn to Eason, Top247 wide receiver Kyle Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga./Archer) spent Saturday morning catching passes from the top-rated quarterback in the 2016 class. One prospect at Archer said that, in his opinion, "after yesterday with Eason I think he will flip." Wide receiver is arguably the top need for Georgia in the 2016 class, and Davis would be a huge addition if they could pull it off.

***Speaking to several at McEachern, the thought is that Georgia is in great shape to land all four prospects they have offered to date – Julian Rochester, Bailey Hockman, Tremayne Anchrum and [bTyler Smith[/b].

***Some feel Top247 athlete Mecole Hardman (Elberton, Ga/Elbert Co.) is close to making a decision, but as of now, Hardman plans to announce on signing day. For those looking for someone who could give the staff his intentions well before then, here is one strong possibility. Alabama offered him over the weekend, but as of Sunday evening, Georgia and Tennessee were still tied at the top. The Crimson Tide and Volunteers are recruiting Hardman as a wide receiver, but Georgia is recruiting him as an athlete, telling him they need him on both sides of the ball, as well as in the return game.

Anybody else get the feeling that we're going to be here past next weekend?

I do not feel confident that TMB will be coming back soon.

I mean god damnit rusty - your fucking title is grammatically incorrect :facepalm:

Four UGA is trying to flip

t is almost a daily discussion on who your favorite school can flip? With kids committing so early in the process now it is almost a given it is going to happen to each school with some adding kids and some losing kids.


Can UGA flip Archer WR Kyle Davis?
In the last recruiting cycle for the Georgia Bulldogs they were able to flip some and lost a couple in the end.

Jonathan Ledbetter and Rico McGraw were two very important wins for the Dawgs in the 2015 class getting both away from Alabama.

In the 2016 class Georgia is trying to flip others already. Here is a more detail look at a few of those.

Kyle Davis
Why Georgia can flip him

The 4-Star athlete from Archer is taken a long look at UGA. He has been over 3 times in the last month. He spent part of his Saturday driving almost two hours to throw routes with Jacob Eason. He was wearing a Georgia Football shirt, Georgia football gloves when he showed up. Sometime that means a lot, sometimes that means nothing. Georgia has made him a huge priority.

Why he would not flip to UGA

Being committed to South Carolina since last August, the Gamecocks have done a good job of being on him early and offering him early. The Gamecocks know they have a battle on their hands, but so far he is staying with his commitment to them. It will be very important on them go keep him committed through the summer, because Davis will have a ton of focus on his senior season at Archer.

Demetris Robertson
Why Georgia can flip him

The Nation’s top rated Athlete from Savannah is committed to Alabama and has been since last July. He has made many visits to Athens and will be back in town on Tuesday. He has no shortage of people around him that want him at UGA in Savannah. That is a very pro UGA town. He is another top target that Jacob Eason is recruiting hard to join him in Athens. Jeremy Pruitt is involved here and that is not going to hurt UGA’s chances any.

Why he would not flip to UGA

For the same reasons Robertson picked Alabama over Georgia in the first place, he really likes it there. Kirby Smart is the lead recruiter on him and he will know the key people around him in Savannah to try to hold on to him down the stretch.

Landon Rice
Why Georgia can flip him

Rice, an Auburn commit grew up a huge UGA fan and was a childhood friend of Nick Chubb while both were living in Cedartown. Georgia offered but they must get him on campus soon to have any chance.

Why he would not flip to UGA

Rice is a very big recruiter for Auburn in this class, he committed almost a year ago and he has not shown any signs of not being solid to the Tigers at this point.

Baylen Buchanan
Why Georgia can flip him

Son of Ray Buchanan at Peachtree Ridge looks to be a top target for Jeremy Pruitt at CB.He has the size that Pruitt is looking for. He has also visited Athens multiple times with current teammates.

Why he would not flip to UGA

There is a strong family connection to Louisville with his father and Buchanan is still committed to the Cards at this time. Georgia will have to convince him to do his own thing and make his own name in Athens to flip him away from this connection.

We can still draft.

Sounds like we may be underwhelming at receiver this year. Bmac has his work cut out for him.

Gentry several months had a good description of Ball.  You marvel at his ability to get production out of walk-ons but you wonder why he's having to rely on walk-ons in the first place.

If we can just keep them healthy, big if, I think we'll be alright with Mitchell, Williams, JSW, maybe one of the freshman and the TEs.

I still have not received an invite to the aforementioned facebook group

I wasn't sure if it was you but then I looked at it said we had 23 mutual friends, all of them UGA posters on tmb. :loldog: EMBARRASSING
