re: 2016 UGA Recruiting Thread (commits, offers, visits, etc.)

I thought eason and big ben were

I hope so.

I think he'll take it down to the wire. If Hess smart, he might be watching the coaching machine at work.

They are, I was just hoping that he and Eason spending a lot of time together back after Dawg Night helped push him to the good guys.

He was supposed to make a decision 2x now I believe. Instead he's postponing it until closer to the enrollment date. I have no idea if that's good or bad. He did wish Eason a Happy Bday yesterday with a pic of them together on the field. Who knows if it means anything or if he's just saying HBD to a friend. He is an enigma at this point.

UGA has offered 6'4" 210lb JUCO WR Derrick Willies who is a current Texas Tech commit. He averaged a ridiculous 23.6 ypc this past season and scored 14 TDs. He also sports a 4.0 GPA so he takes care of his business off the field as well. I assume this is a make-up for possibly losing the WR commit from TX.

I think we're realizing we need more size at WR. We have no size right now outside of towns, and IMO, it's huge (no pun intended) to be able to have big targets.

Yeah it seems like he is really confused, tbh. I think he knows UGA is the place but a huge part of him likes UT.

What a fricking haul Eason + Nauta + Davis + Hardman + Robertson would be.

It moved.

The best part is that is a conceivable scenario. Optimistic for sure, but certainly possible.

I don't know if I can see Robertson...obviously it's possible and i'm not throwing in the towel or discounting our chances, but it just sounds like UGA is playing catch up and are significantly behind. And if academics are as big a priority to this kid as he says, like it or not, UGA can't compete with Stanford. UGA's a fine institution (certainly better than one of his other main suitors, Alabama), but nobody can dispute the fact that Stanford is of another caliber.

I agree, though, definitely need guys who can hold their blocks ala Conley and Bennett. I think Chigbu will get there soon, I don't really see Godwin ever developing into an elite blocker without putting on some serious weight.
