re: Dawgs vs Spartans on Friday

People need to realize before Jackson's injury, he had potential to be a 5 star recruit top 25 player in the country. Could you imagine if we went on to add Beasley, Mack, and Brown? 2015 lineup could potentially look like this:

Mann
Gaines
Beasley
Brown
Maten

With Mack, Jackson, Parker... Etc coming off bench. There would be talent and depth (also very talented ). I'll go on record and make a prediction if we sign Brown, we'll win the league during the season or during the tournament. That group I just listed would also be talented enough to make a deep run into the tournament.

Not to defend Rivals rankings (cause I personally think they are terrible)but several things happened to drop Turtle's rating.

Had a significant injury this year that forced him to miss a lot of time. So he was off the radar for awhile, then when he got back he struggled early on in the AAU circuit dealing with that injury. So when some of those ratings people saw him they were not impressed.

I coached Will personally and can say the thing I like most about him is he is a good humble kid and has always had a terrific work ethic. Works very hard on his game and because of that I think he will continue to improve a lot. Will do very well in Fox's system.

and Kneehigh I also heard that Cheathem and Mack will be back on campus for the Clemson game. Wouldn't be surprise to see one commit before then or right after the visit. Also heard Beasley will be back on campus for a visit in the fall.

Brown and Jackson actually visited athens the same day a few weeks ago. Both Mack and easley made trips up there in the last 4 weeks as well. We are looking strong with that group. Would be somewhat shocked if we didn't land Mack or Beasley. I'm still not getting my hopes up to predict Brown but we have a legitimate shot.

Sheffield, a top 100 wing recruit in Georgia just committed to Stanford. We lead for him for awhile and were in the running with Clemson and Stanford.

I think we backed off him a it because we prefer Beasley or Mack but Sheffield was in that group along with Jackson (now committed), Cheathem (in his final 6 but very similar to Jackson) Brown, and the 2 I already mentioned.

Players might be announcing now because of the numbers crunch and guaranteeing they get their spot. Could see Mack commit at some point this summer, bet beasley commits in august or more likely september. Really think we land 1 of those 2 along with a big man to fill out the class.

I think Tiger has already mentioned Houston Kessler and I agree with him. I hate it for the kid. If UGA wants to take the next step to become relevant, they gotta let these scrubs go...

sounds like Foxm ight be torn on taking 4. To me it is a no brainer in college basketball. So many kids transfer each yr, decent chance 1 of ours will. And I hate it for Kessler too but this is his 3rd yr in the program now. If it isn't in the rotation he shouldn't be on scholarship. That is where basketball is a lot different than football with limited numbers. Cant waste them on kid. I was shocked when we offered him. Pulling for him, but never thought he would be an SEC athlete. Think if we get a post player and 3 other top 100 talents, which is very possible, you just can't turn him away.

so we're taking 4? but have to axe a guy in the process?

There will be attrition. Kessler or KPG. Or even Parker if he doesnt progress like we think

Dawgs and Kats top 2 teams for JB... UGA is definitely in this!

I read today that Kentucky was pretty much on top and he seems to be saying this in his own way.
