Master Teague just committed to Ohio State.

That could mean good news for us on the Zamir White and Tavion Thomas fronts.

At least he isn't in the SEC. Did we offer him?

I think OSU liked Teague more than Thomas especially with his alleged grade problems. White is obviously a guy everyone wants but OSU probably couldn't wait to offer. Still a shiot at White but I'm extremely happy with Teague, Gill and Snead

No. After he put up those insane numbers last weekend I thought we might, but we didn't.

Gill is going to play the Samuel/Braxton Miller role I would expect

He apparently looked really, really good at the Rivals' 5-star Challenge this weekend.

Yea I think he was an initial 5* then tore his acl early last season. Seems to be back to around 100%. Beating out that field of RBs for the award is pretty telling

Not offering him was a mistake, in my opinion.

I think we are targeting two guys for one RB spot.

Zamir White is #1. He announces on the 27th and there's some sneaky optimism from "insiders" that we are in it for him more than people think.

If he Commits to Georgia, which I think he will, then our RB in this class will be Asa Martin.

If we get White, then I'll give Saban a pass for this minor indiscretion

My big plans for Teague were basically, just stick him on kickoffs and give him the Forrest Gump speech, "run".

Is it sad that I would be really excited if we got a punter to commit? I'm not asking for much, for God's sake. Just a damn punter

The only two guys who can commit are White and Martin. Martin performed better at camp, despite Teague's numbers. Although he would be a heck of a fallback option (probably no shot now). Daboll is absolutely enamored with Martin. People on a couple sites are saying we would take both White and Martin if both wanted to come. I've not heard anything more than has been posted here, though, on the feasibility of landing White. I'd assume he's still a tough pull from Uga, despite them being in some NCAA trouble right now.

What's going on? This is the first I've heard of UGA and NCAA trouble.

NCAA started looking around after Signing Day. That's why they're off to a bit of a slow start. Don't think it's anything major. More of a cease and desist thing. They were getting complained about and turned in left and right.

Ohhhhhhh. Well, if they ignore the warnings like Ole Miss, it could turn into something
