Any idea how our recruits are performing in under armour game?

It's on Thursday I believe.

Saw some tweets from last night's practice and Keelon Russell looks huge. Put on some good weight.

AK Dear and Michael Carroll decided not to play in it.

That’s great. Wonder if any other guys are standing out

With regard to the Twitter post directly above, I fully believe that CKD probably did tell Russell that.

But that also causes me to harken back to what he said to the media before the season. In paraphrasing, it went something like this:

“We have four QBs who can really sling it, and we can win with any four of them.”

Considering that take, I am left wondering if that was meant to prop up these guys’ egos and confidence, or is he really that poor of a QB coach and evaluator? One of those guys is already off to BC.

I wonder if '26 GA TE Kaiden Prothro, the top performer on that list, is of any relation to Tyrone?

It's not a super common last name and Bowdon, GA is fairly close to Heflin...

This is behind a paywall, so the most I can see is:

To answer a common question quickly: no, Kaiden is not the son of former Alabama wide receiver Tyrone Prothro. Kaiden's father Clarence "Pop" Prothro was, however, a three-sport athlete at Bowdon High School in the early '90s before playing baseball at Jacksonville State.

Thanks

I didn't think it was his dad, but they still kinda left that door open to be related.

Clarence Prothro played baseball at Jax State, so it's just another potential tie. He's a big UGA fan though, so I'm sure it'll be a battle especially with how well they sell their TE spot.

If we have to start a true freshman at QB, no matter how talented, we're in trouble. Be the #2...get adjusted to college...and be ready to tear it up in '26 and '27.

And if you think a true freshman starting next year improves on 9-4, boy I have a bridge to sell you

If Keelon Russell isn't an immediate improvement over Milroe, we need to throw him in the portal

The Under Armor AA Game kicks off at 3 CST on ESPN2.

The Georgia-Notre Dame game kicks off at the same time.

This format for the UA game is awful.
