My original post went over 7900 characters, so is there any way I can add a post to the beginning? As of now, I just removed the HUDL highlight videos (except Eason's because

Also,

I am getting worried about Derrick Brown. First he comes out and said he no longer has a leader, after having us at #1 for a while.
Not to mention Auburn will be all hands on deck this weekend at Big Cat negative recruiting the frick out of us. They'll tell him how crowded the DLine will be here with Thompson, Rochester, and Clark all committed, to go along with the UGA "fans" harassing him on Twitter.
Hopefully Rochester stays in his ear, although he didn't mention Brown in the list of players he's working on

I'm more concerned now about brown than I was a couple weeks ago. But imo we are still the team to beat for him. It seems like to me that he just got tired of everyone assuming he was gonna go to UGA so he backed off publicly so he can get some love from other schools. Can't blame him one bit either, this will be his only time going thru this so might as well take advantage of it as much as he can.
I don't think the negative recruiting about the guys we already have committed will be a big deal. As soon as JR commited brown retweeted something about how he isn't afraid of competition.

His plan is to committ on signing day. Probably wants a little excitement at the ESPN zone or his school ala LoCarter. Hopefully he's simply downplaying things for future drama. Hopefully...

Remove some of the guys that are committed elsewhere and we have no interest or chance to get. That should free up tons of room

Glad we got Julian. But I hope it doesn't deter Brown.
Another thing I noticed. Pruitt tweeted yesterday after JR committed.
Gotta love the Dawgs who want to protect their HOME turf! #squad16 #2inmay #whosenext #committotheg
If you look at the retweets, a Vol fan and Mecole Hardman had a few disagreements. Hardman was defending Pruitt.
According to 24/7, it's a battle of UT and UGA for Hardman.
Thanks UT fan!

Which goes back to the point Dallas was making that the media can hurt the perception a recruit has of a University. make no mistake about this...while some of these media types MIGHT be Georgia fans, their primary focus is to be first to present news to a fan base. If they are consistently first with good information, they have a chance of getting more people to follow them on Twitter and/or sign up to their recruiting site. They might like georgia, but their allegiance is to make money and keep their jobs.

Thanks for the advice man. I'll do that.
Eta: I might just remove the 247 bio for every player who's committed elsewhere or we're out of the running for because that should give us a fair amount of space.

I just want to say that this is the best class Mark Richt has ever put together and you know some may leave and others may come and I am just basing this off of the momentum and the shift of the program. I have never been that excited about recruiting and realistically UGA has often times been a middle of the pack SEC team but every time I bring up 247 all I can think about is just how good we can be. Everyone knows our class year finished 6th in the Nation but if you look at the class it was heavy on the defensive side of the ball as we landed a ton of big time talent on that side of the ball so really the one thing we didn't address and I feel like our weak spot has been Tackles and QB's. I think our depth at those two positions has been pretty lackluster in the past few classes although we have added some talented guys for the line however nothing compares to what we already have commited in 2016.
QB
Jacob Eason - He is the QB that can win us a championship. Will it happen? Who knows but with him at the front I have a feeling we will be in the discussion while he is on campus. Maybe not as a freshman but he has the tools to win UGA a ton of games. People compare him to Matt Stafford because of his size and arm strength but watch his tape and how he reads defenses. Most of our QBs of late have struggled with Reading defenses to include Mason who after 5 years in the program still got happy feet after his first read wasn't available. Eason is just a much better prospect. It will be exciting to watch him grow as a Dawg.
OT
EJ Price - Could end up being a 5 star. He is that athletic and that good and has performed greatly at all the camps.
Ben Cleveland - A monster of a man. Him on our line in the future bodes well. Also a 5 start talent.
Defense
It just keeps getting better.
Rochester
Clark
Manac
All big time players. The future has never looked this bright.

By going to a 4-3 we can have all of em on the field at the same dam time

What's up with the Greyson Lambert transfer whispers?
Posted on 5/29/15 at 2:07 pm to Jawja_Joe
If he did decide to transfer the earliest he would be on campus would be JUNE 23rd. Unrealisting to think he could grasp the playbook in 5 weeks

He would have the playbook tomorrow if he committed to come to UGA. Not saying he would start, just that he wouldn't be that far behind the others who have only done 1 spring with the new playbook. He's a college QB already, so I'm sure the adjustment wouldn't be like coming up from HS

When does summer PrACTICE start anyway?
Posted on 5/29/15 at 3:23 pm to IT_Dawg
Not sure, but his stats from last year are not very impressive. He had a pick in every game but one.Ether way, I would love to see another warm body compete for the job

Just watched son Antwuan Jackson highlights and heard he heard he is considering UGA. That kid is explosive and plays with a lot of energy. If we pull Jackson and miss on Brown I won't be mad. Don't get me wrong I prefer Brown but if not........

After being committed for almost three months, rumors started to spread that offensive lineman Aaron Dowdell (Fairburn, Ga./Creekside) was looking around.
quote:
"I am 100 percent committed to Georgia," Dowdell said. "There were rumors that had spread about me, but they are not true. I am going to Georgia."
Just a few days ago, Dowdell spoke to Bulldogs assistant Bryan McClendon, his recruiter of record.
"I called him and let him know that rumor was not true," Dowdell. "He had not heard it, but I wanted to make sure. He said that rumors will always spread, but as long as you tell me you are committed everything will be alright."
quote:
"This class is going to be the best to ever play for Georgia," Dowdell said. "I think Mecole Hardman Jr. will be one down the road."
Dowdell says he has no plans to visit any other schools, but hopes to get back up to Athens this summer.
