I think we just lost him.. it happens. Usually not to us, but it does happen. We will just have to put the press on.. this early signing period is taxing Saban bad though. You can tell by his comments.. he isn’t having fun with this

We did tell him to hold off. I don't think, though, that we expected him to sign with someone else.

Well I somewhat can believe he had transcript issues. When he first committed I read an article from a LSU writer about him just now learning how to read I believe. I was thinking how is he even getting in to college. Good luck to the kid tho.

To be fair, there were a few saying he might not sign today by around 10 or so. Orr was among those.

Yea a lot of people were saying he wasn’t signing because he couldn’t EE and therefore was going to sign in February, as in this was his choice. No one said anything about our staff asking him to hold off on signing.

Well at least this puts a dent in UGA fans claim of UGA being the Harvard of the South.

I'm confused as to how do they keep letting you go to the next grade if you can't read on that grade level lol...

How highly ranked is Georgia’s class compared to the highest ever. They are loading up on 5 and 4 stars



highest ever were Florida 2010 at like 324, and then Alabama last year at over 323. Georgia is at 302 with 22 recruits. Depends on how many they can take if they can get that high

He was doing math on a 12th grade level so it averaged out. He's going to be an enganeer.

Unfortunately though, you have to take a whole lot of other classes in college to become an engineer, and those classes require college level reading.

Good luck to the kid anyway. I am still confident we will replace him with someone as good or better.

We just lost him. It happens. It's happened to Saban before, many times. It sucks but the insiders trying to save face with this academic shite are full of it.

These are the type of asshats I had to deal with on a daily basis when I lived in Chattanooga. They made UT fans seem likable in comparison.
