I'm starting to think we should sign Nathan Pickering instead of Sopsher.
I wouldn't be upset about this, but I think Sopsher would do well for us. A lot of his issues are the result of poor conditioning and an inconsistent motor, which I think would be solved by Cochran and the upperclassmen in a hurry.

That's the best part IMO. Him not showing out leaves me feeling good no matter what happens.
On the other hand, reading about how dominant Neal has been I had the thought that I would have been sick reading those blurbs had he gone to UGA.

I have been saying for a few months that Neal is better than Wright. He's bigger, stronger, bends better, and has better feet. OTs who are Neal's size with the kind of feet he has are extremely rare. He's a dancing bear. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he's our starting LT against Duke.

2. ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE
Evan Neal continues his year-long positive trajectory, as the massive offensive lineman shined at both tackle and guard on Tuesday, putting a bow on a week of practice that saw him separate himself from the pack as one of the truly elite linemen at an all-star event. Defensive back Jordan Battle was one of Sunday’s top performers, as he showed an impressive blend of length and speed, closing on the ball as well as any player in attendance. And while defensive back Christian Williams had an uneven Tuesday, his solid play in the previous days more than made up for that.

It's a package deal for No. 1 DT Ishmael Sopsher
frick. That.
Best of luck to him in Baton Rouge. Give me Nathan Pickering over this nonsense.
quote:
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — If a school wants No. 1 defensive tackle Ishmael Sopsher, then they will need to sign his brother Rodney Sopsher out of Junior College too.
That is the only way the five-star defensive tackle out of Amite (La.) will even consider a school.
"We are going to school together," said Sopsher. "If a school does not offer us both, then I am not even going to consider signing with them in February. I am just going to wait and see who decides to offer us, but the biggest factor for me choosing a school is us going to school together."
Only one school has told both Sopsher's they have a scholarship and that is LSU.
"As of right now, LSU is the only one who has offered us both.They have a place for Rodney and that is very important to me. That does not really change the way I feel about LSU, but it stands out because I know they have a place for him."
Most have viewed the race for Sopsher as a battle between Alabama and LSU from the beginning. There has been a lot of chatter about the Crimson Tide having the edge heading into the final month, but is that accurate?
"I really do not know where that comes from," said Sopsher. "Alabama is a great school and I have been there a lot, but I do not have them on top. All schools are even for me right now.
"I like them, I am still looking into them and I am just waiting to see what they say about my brother as we get closer to Signing Day. Alabama does not lead though."
Sopsher used the "wait and see" phrase numerous times in this interview. He has discussed his brother with a number of schools, so now he will wait and see what happened in the coming weeks as he prepares to sign February 6.
"I know Ole Miss is looking into it, I know Alabama is looking into it and some schools are seeing what they can to get him in too. I know I will talk to about five or six schools about it again soon. I just want to see what schools will have a spot for him."
Along with Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss; Florida State, Oregon, Texas and Texas A&M remain in contact with Sopsher he said. He has yet to schedule any official visits for January, but ones to LSU and Ole Miss are likely to take place the last two weekends before Signing Day.
With the offer to both Sopsher's, it could be tough to beat the in-state school in the end.
"Me and coach O (Ed Orgeron) are really close," said Sopsher. "We talk almost every a day and he continues to show me a lot of love. We have a very close relationship. I have known him for so long and that is part of the reason LSU is a school I like so much.
"Them offering my brother is so important too. There is zero chance we go separate ways. Me and Rodney will go to school together, so LSU giving us that chance does stand out."
frick. That.
Best of luck to him in Baton Rouge. Give me Nathan Pickering over this nonsense.

Under Armour All-America Game: Five matchups to follow
quote:
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — There will be a lot of talent inside Camping Ground Stadium Thursday night competing in the Under Armour All-America Game. It will be littered with four- and five-star prospects going head-to-head, and these five matchups will be especially interesting to follow.

Evan Neal/Darnell Wright vs. Kayvon Thibadeaux
Whoever goes up against Oregon signee Kayvon Thibodeaux will have their hands full. It may be Alabama signee Evan Neal, it may be Darnell Wright — both may have their time in this game against Thibodeaux. It looks like Neal will start at left tackle and Wright at right tackle based on practices, so that would put Wright vs. Thibadeaux out of the gates. Whichever five-star offensive tackle it is, it will be fun to watch. It will be five-star vs. five-star, so this will be a match-up to follow.

I'd be cool with offering him a PWO spot, but a scholarship? It'd be even worse than offering Keenan Allen's horribad brother. Rodney doesn't even have offers from FCS programs.

Guess he's going to change that tune or won't be part of this class.
I'm with TideSaint, push for someone else. Don't need to get in the 2 for 1 scholly business.

A Texas fan put this on the main 247 board after last night's game. It's a screen shot of a DM a Georgia "insider" sent him last week:
Woof.
Woof.

That’s just way too much bullshite to not be trolling. No way that Georgia fan believed half of that.

Assuming that we lose the entire starting Dline, who do we think starts next year.
Ray, Mathis, and Alfano?

Add Pickering to this list and I'm happy.
