UGA fans - how confident you feeling in landing this guy? Now that you have won the battle with Fields, the next battle between UGA and Auburn appears to be Tre Hill. Auburn fans are feeling pretty confident - but then again a long time ago we were confident in landing Fields.

I think he's one that will head elsewhere.

Odds are he goes to AU. Our depth at online right now is huge, we signed 5(?) OL last year and have 2 for 2018 with Salyer probably coming in.

Assuming we get Saylor and keep Ericson Hes going to Auburn imho. The depth chart and visits tell the tale.

If you can find a way to sign a 5* QB to a class that already has two 5* QBs - can't KS figure out a way to make the same thing happen on the offensive line???

Lot less confidence at UGA these days. If I had to guess today, he's likely going to AU... lot of time left, but I think the clear path to playing time is of interest to him and on top of that, I think he wants to stay at OG rather than OC, which I believe is being pitched to him pretty hard at UGA (due to Salyer being likely, and then Netori Johnson, Justin Shaffer, Solomon Kindley already on the roster). That's a stout 2 deep at OG.

Some may disagree but I think that there is not much (if any) drop off from Hill to Ericson talent wise. Ericson is nasty

I don't mind taking UGA's rejects if they are of Tre Hill's caliber and quality. :)

Don't see him at UGA right now. He's really close to Kearis and Fields and played with Fromm in high school, which might help us out in the long run. Apparently he's not a fan of our depth in the interior OL and doesn't like the idea of playing center even though that would be a pretty quick route to getting playing time.

I'd say the frequent AU visits are the bigger telling sign. The same way that AU staff started to realize Fields was not likely in the cards, I'd imagine our staff is seeing Hill's visits similarly. Doesn't mean they'll back off, but if he doesn't see it their way on the OC vs OG dilemma, I'm not sure there is much to be done.

Brother hes no reject. He will contribute for yall imho. We just have some depth on the interior for a change. Im just trying to get used to having some OL depth. Its kind of a new thing round these parts.

We could definitely use him next year. Three of our starters on the O line will not be returning next year. Given his talent level, he could easily start for Auburn as a true freshman.

Think he's going to need at least a year before he's ready for SEC play. A lot of reports that he's really out of shape and immobile, needs a good year in a college S&C before he's ready to hit the field. Not just saying that b/c we're not trending for him, if he does come here I think he'd benefit from a redshirt year.

He would fit perfectly then. This year we had a 5* OT come into camp weighing 340 pounds. Needless to say, he hasn't gotten to play on the field yet.

I prefer the bury my head in the sand approach and just pretend that UGA is really sucking at recruiting.

Same, 5* Isaiah Wilson out of NY is heading for a redshirt this year after reporting in June in the 350 range.

If he wanted to play Center, I'd say UGA. But he is dead set on playing Guard. I think UGA trails Auburn, Florida and Florida State.
