Oh good another grumpy person. You should fit right in. No really you should.

Glad I'm not the only one who sees this. Wright looks better from a physical standpoint. He has really long arms and doesn't have a ton of bad weight, but he doesn't have a lot of knee bend like Neal does and his feet aren't nearly as quick.
Exactly.
Wright struggles bending. He seems to stand straight up and use athleticism a lot. He easily gets beat because you can not only out quick him you can get into him early and toss him because his base is light.
Evan Neal is heavier physically but deals well with speedy outsider rushes. He shows great bend, sits deep and does a great job to keep his butt toward the QB and shuffle keeping his back level.
In January when they drop Wright the same people downvoting me will pretend they knew this would happen all along.

Just so we're clear here, by "drop" do you mean that Bama is going to drop him from their class, or that he'll drop in the rankings?
If it's the latter, then you could be right. Who knows?
If the former, then

Our recruiting momentum seems to be slowing.
A number of programs around us produced commitments this past weekend. We produced nothing and personally, i'm not buying this notion we're asking recruits to "hold off".
Wow. Just wow. Going on a tear more than a month ago isn’t good enough now? Who gives a shite when you get them committed. People are just going to complain either way.

Wright will drop in rankings.
ETA: I'm not trying to hate on Wright, no differently then I wasnt trying to hate on Cheyney. I'm just evaluating what I've seen and relaying it.
Wright needs to learn to bend, sit deeper and shuffle while keeping his back in-line. His is too high after the snap and because of this it's easy to turn his shoulders. Once those shoulders turn he's beat.

Not a complaint. An observation and opinion.
Georgia's top recruits for instance are commiting. Ours are inexplicably holding off.

Too bad we can't coach Wright up on technique.

Gotcha. We all have our opinions. If I were forced to pick one over the other, it would still be Wright. But Neal's comments about his determination to keep his weight in check and the proof that he's already lost 30+ pounds make me think he has a chance to be special as well. Sounds like he has Fluker-like determination.
Again. Sign them both if you can.

If we land any two of Webb, Wright & Neal we'll have one of the best OL classes ever signed.

You think this is trolling?

No. They’re already committed, genius.

Well then who are they, a-hole?
You mean the ones we currently have committed or the ones you hope will commit? Because when you say "no, they're already committed". What your really saying is our current "top recruits" are as good as it's getting.
Unless of course you're a so called "insider" and you know who all the "silent commits" are.
Take a break. You don't have to be a dick 24 hours a day.

UA already has 20 commits (19 without Cheney). UGA landed several last weekend, now has 16 and appears fairly likely to add 4 relatively soon:
4* S Lewis Cine
4* CB Tyrique Stevenson
4* CB DJ Daniel (juco)
4* WDE Jermaine Johnson (juco)
That'll = 20. Iirc UGA can sign 23. So, UGA is just catching up to where Bama already is.

I think someone who comes on the board and whines about our recruiting when in July we had a great month and are sitting at #1 currently and wants to complain is either trolling or stupid, take your pick.

Lol I love how butthurt you get when someone doesn't share your opinion.

What's impressive to me is his lateral quickness at that size. Combine that with decent technique and a powerful punch.
I'm very impressed with Evan Neal.
