Trey Hill met with Malzahn sometime yesterday and Malzahn told him he was a top priority. Hill said he liked that made him feel wanted. He said AU is "up there" and he thinks he could fit in with us having seniors on the OL this year.

KN put an article up yesterday teasing that somebody might be close to committing to us. Who was it?

... so did the need for a WR come through yesterday? Someone with talented hands might have noticed a hole or two needing a fill.

(yeah - too early to say definitively - but there might be a big need).

So with McClain looking unlikely now and I think we are pretty much out with Tindall what other options do we have at LB? Quay who we are also probably third for?

Just like last year we when struck out. And it will be down next year too. And the year after that. Then it will be up when we finally sign 3 DTs in a class.

Yep. It's too bad Rodney has nothing to do with that DL that's been kicking arse for a year +. Oh wait...

Lame, you want to recruit like a top dog you can't be afraid of a little weather.

You can only see recruits 1 time right now through November. Why make that 1 time be in the rain?

And JJP. They are evaluating others in case we miss on them.

War Room notes from 2 days ago

-Sources close to AU & Wonnum feel it's only a matter of time til 4* OT Dylan Wonnum commits to AU

-Fields was at the Bama/FSU game (FWIW recruits don't get to mingle with coaches and players at neutral sites games. They only get game tickets.)
-Plans to visit AU & UGA this month
-likely scenario is go to UGA vs. Miss St on 9/23 then AU vs. Miss St. on 9/30
-Could aldo visit FSU vs. Miami on 9/16
-9/30 could be a good time for Justin to visit AU. His high school doesn't play so he could come a day early
-Sources at all 3 schools feel it is an AU-UGA battle right now
-JLee feels AU is team to beat
-Thinks he will commit in October

*FWIW Rusty at UGA 247 is making it sound like if Fromm takes over the rest of the season & becomes a 4 year starter it would hurt UGA's chances with Fields. Rusty wasn't clear on his wording but apparently he has a quote from Justin saying as much. He also said FSU's sitch hurt the Noles. I guess he means Francois getting hurt. I guess he is saying if the backup freshman plays well & a lot then that would hurt with Fields. He says AU is in a good spot to capitalize off of yesterday's development. Rusty is not changing his UGA pick yet but said he would start digging for names on other UGA QB targets.

-Back to JLee. Feels good on AU's chances w/ Coynis
-was scheduled to spend the night in AU last night

-JLee appears to be behind Keith & Jason Caldwell on Seth Williams
-He feels AU is a darkhorse while Keith & Jason feel AU leads

-Thinks Trey Hill is a heavy UGA lean

*FWIW the same Rusty from above said on a radio show a few days ago that he feels UGA is not a definite favorite for Trey & thinks AU may be the favorite now

Rusty, I'm liking the cut of your jib.

Fields, Miller, Hill, Williams, boner

Yeah, it is scary that the like of him are attempting to edumecate the Yutes of tomorrow.

We are screwed. Well they are, but it will trickle up to us when we are old.

I remember when people were backing off of him, and this was the rumor.

He was on the field a lot last year though as a true freshman so maybe college re-lit that fire for him.

Damn I just got schooled by E. Just kidding bro


I'll admit, they looked dominant. I'll gladly eat crow if they keep it up.
