So about Eason and the possible official visit to Miami...

So apparently Rivals, by way of DawgNation, is saying that "there's a good possibility" that Eason may take an official visit to Miami.
Of course the article goes on to default back to his coach's comments yesterday about how he is still likely to enroll early at UGA in January.
How concerned should we be? Or is this more of the media trying to generate as much intrigue as they can?
What would it do for the image of "Mr. Integrity" if after professing his love for UGA to Eason and everyone else up until the very end, he changes course and and tries to convince Eason to dump UGA for Miami?

If I am Richt I do the same exact thing. Yall are nuts. Of course, I also now see Richt as an adversary so I hope we beat his arse to the punch and dominate his backyard.

Time for Kirby to pull out the checkbook and reel Eason back in

i9ntegrity?
his fricking job is to get the best players he can to attend the U of Miami
if he has any integrity, he will pull out all the stops he can with any players worth a shite and try to convince them to come play for him
again, that's his fricking job
I want Eason at UGA, but I would lose respect for Richt if he did not pursue him, and other UGA recruits...

Makes you wonder what Richt actually said on that surprise visit to Eason...
Maybe Richt isn't quite so much the "good Christian man" as some thought? After all, hasn't Eason signed his paperwork and planned to enroll at UGA only a month from now? Now that wouldn't be very honorable to bail now, would it?

Very.
With the very probable extended stint Bama will have in the post season vs UGAs minor bowl, Smart will be faced with bailing on Bama to save this recruiting class unless a very amenable agreement can be reached with Saban to serve two masters in the interim. That amenable agreement will be even more difficult if the rumors are true about the other staff members that could come with Smart.
Extremely interesting dynamics.

Was Miami already recruiting Eason before the Richt hire?
It'd be one thing if Richt got the job and then offered/tried to sway Eason his way, but if they've already offered him then it's kinda fair game.
Eason would still be in better position to play right away here though. Just gotta hope we find a solid OC/QB coach.

I beg to differ. Yes, it's now his job to try to convince kids to come to Miami, but he just spent the last year or two convincing some kids that they should come to UGA...and some have made the decision, publicly committed, and even signed paperwork. So if his position previously was that UGA was the best place for them, and he also believes (since he's a good Christian man) in honoring commitments...how would he be showing integrity by telling the UGA commitments that all of a sudden, Miami is the best place for them?
That would make him no different than the coaches that half the fan base has always claimed he was better than (morally better, that is).

For Richt to sway Eason towards Miami, he'd ultimately be saying you shouldn't go to UGA anymore since I won't be there. That's not very humble and godlike. I mean that in jest of course, nevertheless its going to be strange for him to try and sway Eason from Georgia.
Knowing Richt, he'll do it in a classy way.

It has nothing to do with being a good Christian man.
He is faithful by doing his job that God has provided in all earnest. That job was UGA.
It is now Miami. And to not use all his God given abilities and resources to do his new job, would be unfaithful. He should try to take the entire class to Miami if possible. God has given him a new blessing in the University of Miami and he should try to pass all he can on to that school.
I know some of you "hate " CMR so much that you want him to have failures. But I am grateful for his time at UGA. He rebuilt the program into the quality program it is , whether you want to give him credit or not. It is childish and petty to treat CMR so rudely and ungrateful. You give the University of Georgia a bad name. Let it go , you got your way, and now you want him to suffer, clearly that is not God's plan.

I'm not concerned at all. Eason is a West Coast redneck. He doesn't fit in at all in south Florida.

I wish him the best just not at UGA's expense.
Posted on 12/2/15 at 10:45 pm to PiningBulldawg
Oh I don't want him to take any UGA PLAYERS. And hope the Dawgs beat him and Miami any time they face each other, on the field or off.
But I not going to talk crap about him trying to do his job and the canes have a new fan , outside of playing the Dawgs.

Also just in case anyone was wondering.
Eason had 19 offers according to 247 including Miami.

I don't want him to suffer at all. Since I'm for UGA, my attention will be directed towards Smart, not our former coach. Hopefully Richt will do well in his new pursuits, but I'm about as interested in him as I was in Donnan and Goff after they were no longer coaching at UGA...not all that much.
I AM of course interested in our recruiting, so I think it will be telling to see how Richt approaches the situation with Eason and others.
The argument about him needing to do anything in his power to "pass all he can" to his latest "blessing" (Miami) sounds like a rationalization. Was he recruiting the current UGA commits to UGA? Or was he recruiting them to Mark Richt?

Its a hypocritical situation to be in for any coach who's been recruiting hard for a school when the basis of their pitch is that the school is the best option for the player as opposed to the "follow me" approach and play for me approach throughout the entire recruitment process.
There are certain things that can't be taken back without sounding salty.
That goes for Richt, Kirby, and probably Pruitt as well.
On a side not, none of that probably matters a whole lot though. These are high school kids were talking about.
Its still bullshite to up and change your pitch just so you get what you want. Not knocking it though, winners do it, I'd presume.

Interesting question.

Well I would say , as fans we hope that it's to the school. But the student athletes would say that the line is far finer and have said multiple times that they are committing to the coach as much as the school. It's all about relationships. Should CMR just let Eason go to UF. We overturned the apple cart, it's a scramble and some of the apples are 17-18 years old. There is no telling what will happen. But I will not begrudge a man for doing his job. No matter how much I want UGA to succeed.

There is not one person in this board , that will have an issue with KS, or any other new coach bring a load of 4-5 star recruits with him. Do you think we should be hands off on the recruits KS got for Bama?
Posted on 12/2/15 at 11:13 pm to 3rddownonthe8
Richt goes back on his word and claims the U would be in the kids best interest as opposed to UGA by making it abundantly clear without explicitly saying, "The only reason I told you all that shite about UGA is because I wanted you to play for me."
Thats the nature of the game. It seems hypocritical at first, but the more I look into it, it seems more like honesty resurfacing.
