Apparently, mostly Ekkeler and distance the factors on this one. UGA going all stealth this summer. I'll take it!

Sounds like FSU staff was totally caught off guard. Had no idea UGA was even a threat.

We could potentially flip Rico McGraw back from Bama this weekend
Has he confirmed his visit plans? And why this weekend in particular? Is that what the insiders/mods think will happen?
Thanks for the info

I haven't seen him confirmed to be visiting us that I remember. I also don't see him flipping back to us this weekend. If he does flip at all again, I think it will be very late in the process.

That's what I was thinking, and I haven't seen any info on the uga247 site about him, so I wanted to see if durden had any inside info.

I think if he did it soon, it'd be because of some ill feelings over some things Bama apparently told him and some things Bama actually ended up doing with regards to pursuing other prospects. I've always been under the impression that his flip was a "family decision" and now momma feels a little jilted.

Idk but their fans are fricking pissed
That fan base is always pissed off about something. Nice pick up Dawgs. He's a good player

I don't get the "momma feels jilted" thing. Do you have a source close to him? He was our last commit, so we haven't had someone commit who plays his position that he didn't already know about. We are pursuing Sheffield, but I doubt we told Rico's family we would stop doing that especially since Minkah flipping is a real possibility.
We are pursuing Godwin, but as a wide receiver. Thus why our staff told him we'd target him like Coop if he came to alabama.

Back to the topic at hand. Just read where Barnett flipped without ever visiting Athens?

Nah I was wrong about that. FSU talked him out of that visit. He's never been to Athens he says. Visiting next weekend probably

He notices the Dawgs Playing a lot of Freshman this year.
“I think playing time mattered with (his decision to change),” his coach said. “This is coming from him: He watched Florida State’s game against The Citadel. He looked out there, and he said they didn’t have a lot of young guys out there. They played Mario Edwards about the whole time. It was something he noticed and was concerned about.

Barnett said the main reason for the flip was “family reasons.”
“Family things played a role,” Barnett said. “Georgia is closer to home. That’s what it’s about. It’s just a whole bunch of family issues.”
Barnett expanded on his reasoning why he chose the Bulldogs.
“My godmother is a Georgia fan,” Barnett said. “I have family in Georgia. I could’ve played anywhere and been successful. The SEC played a part. Georgia plays in a powerhouse conference.”
quote:
Barnett said the flip has been in his mind “over time” and he called his Florida State recruiter, Seminoles running backs coach Jay Graham, to inform him of his intentions Thursday night.
Barnett called Georgia coach Mark Richt and Bulldogs defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt last night and told them as well.
