UGA leads with Mcneil. If he comes here, Hunter Henry to Bama.


I also thought this. But after reading today's scout.com interview, I'm not so sure.

Speaking of, are we posting subscription stuff, or partially posting, or should I just STFU?

They said "paraphrase" but who's got time to write their own articles?

Think about this on McNeil and H Henry.

UA seemed to be in good shape with McNeil. Even the last interview seemed to point to UA. But as of late it appears our staff feels really good about H Henry. Do we take McNeil if Henry is an option. Who knows. But Henry is now scheduled to visit in July and all of sudden McNeil pushes his announcement off until August.

Not saying UA lands Henry, but UA and UGA are both in it for Henry and McNeil. But it appears that maybe both want Henry as 1st option, especially with rumors swirling about McNeil's grades. My guess is our staff or both staffs have pushed off McNeil to announce in August to see where Henry will land. Again JMO.

McNeil has academic work to do before UGA will accept his commitment, per the UGA 247 staff.

According to an article I read today, grades aren't an issue. He's taking summer school classes so that he can graduate and be an early enrollee.

My opinion is both staffs have told him to wait and see how he does this summer in the classroom. He is taking classses all summer. If the rumors about his grades are true. Which I find the lates article funny because he said he was taking summer classes so he could graduate in Dec and be an EE.

BTW with UGA have so many spots in this class they could burn one and hope that McNeil passes.

Just got done watching the Hunter Henry highlights....super impressed. I hope we can pull him away from Arky now that Petrino is gone.

I agree that Henry is better suited for Bama's offense. HH > JM

I think Henry would fit the blocking TE role better than Mcneil.

Wow. He is very good. Don't think we've had a guy that moves that well for his size. He and OJ would be compliment each other real well, especially with some of the speed we finally have on the outside.

Im not really comparing the 2 just saying how very impressed i am with HH. He looks so natural split out wide as a WR.

I remember thinking Nick O'leary was good but not quite as impressed as everyone else who thought he was nearly at a 5 star status. HH listed at 2 inches taller seems much more fluid and natural as a runner after the catch then Nick and also since he plays DE im sure he likes contact.

Apparently it isn't so much grades as the fact that he is missing some core classes that must be taken to be admitted anywhere, and I doubt that he will be able to make them all up in time for n EE, or at least that is what the word is on the UGA side of things.

I know it use to not be when he was at Scout. Im not sure now that he is at rivals. My guess would be no. Just highlight the major points.

Nick was the real deal, and we were right behind FSU for him. Had he not felt at home at FSU because of all of his family, he would've come to Bama...his exact words to me. He has a lot of cousins at FSU and made several trips there...did some things he probably shouldn't have as they could've got him in deep shite but I'm sure that's what most recruits do on their trips anyways.

On the field, he's legit. He would've been an excellent successor to Smelley and has a nasty streak that few TE/HBs possess.
