1. Terry Godwin, 5* ATH - Flip Status: High Alert
Where he flippin'?
UGA ------> Bama
What we know (6/3/2014):
-Terry has spent the past few days visiting in Alabama (longer than expected)
-Terry & Kirby Smart have a "father-son" relationship
"We stay in contact all the time. It's nice to know someone like that," Terry says.
-Where does he stand in his commitment to the Bulldogs?
"While I'm committed, I'm 100% committed to them for now," Terry says.
When should we expect a flip?

2. Jonathan Ledbetter, 4* SDE - FS: Moderate Alert
Where he flippin'?
Bama ------> UGA, AU
What we know (6/3/2014):
-Ledbetter spent last weekend visiting Auburn for their "Big Cat Weekend," and some have speculated that Georgia could be a MAJOR player in securing his flip.
-He is now visiting Tuscaloosa along with current FLIP WATCH prospect Terry Godwin and #1 Trent Thompson, and plans to be there until Wednesday.
-"If I enjoy schools, I want to spend college there, be there for four years, then definitely it will be something spontaneous and I'll know it when I get there. I'll know the feeling I have in my heart, in my mind of where I want to be."
Does Ledbetter have that feeling in his heart for a school right now?
"A single school, I do not. A couple of schools, yea."
When should we expect a flip?
Undefined: Ledbetter has mentioned that he just wants to "be a kid" during this process
3. Jerry Tillery, 4* OT - FS: Cat. 2 Moderate Alert
Where he flippin'?
ND ------> LSU
What we know (6/3/2014):
-Shreveport product Jerry Tillery has been committed to the Fighting Irish since last summer, but that hasn't deterred recruiting analysts from projecting a flip to LSU.
-An effort conducted by LSU assistants Steven Ensminger and Jeff Grimes has been credited.
-247 recruiting analyst/flip expert Barton Simmons opines:
"With Tillery, I still think that Jerry is all in with Notre Dame right now. But I've talked to people who have indicated that his family is much less gung-ho on the Irish. I don't think anything will necessarily happen soon but I think eventually, LSU will be able to turn him."
When should we expect a flip?
Undefined: Appears to be a classic case of player vs. parents.

You seem to know an awful lot about a recruit that has nothing to do with Mizzou.

Interesting.

You should probably include in the OP that UGA's staff feels good about holding on to him.

I like you Crow, but even you have to admit, things are looking grim in Athens.

Not really. He always said he was going to take visits.
We're enduring big recruiting weekends for AU and UA right now, just like y'all are going to have to deal with ours in July. If we can get through this stretch, he should stick.

Got the scoop on any possible upcoming flips? You really seem to stay on top of your shite.

Why are things looking grim in Athens? He's still committed to UGA. We have DawgNight coming up where we can blow sunshine up his butt and make him feel very welcome all over again.

Exactly. If he hadn't asked coaches for permission to visit other places and enjoy the process, I'd be more worried. Could he flip? Absolutely. This is recruiting 17 and 18 yr old kids, nothing is certain. But I'd be a lot more worried if he just showed up in Auburn and Tuscaloosa this past weekend and it was a surprise to us.

Maybe, but he isn't the one that I personally think will hurt...

Go ahead and get your hopes up on Thompson.

Won 4 out of 4 H2H battle against UGA recently. Our bagman might not be up to AU/UA standards, but we stomp UGA every single time.

How many wins has that equaled against UGA?
