Based upon this article about Hill, I really don't see all the doom and gloom like everyone else has. It looks like UGA intentionally scheduled his OV knowing he would commit soon but if read all the message boards out there and comments from our very own Randy Savage who is always doom and gloom, it seems like a foregone conclusion that he signs with UGA.

It's because all the insiders (AU, UGA, nationally) are all now projecting him to UGA. If any of those insiders still had AU as the pick then there might be some hope but as of now they all agree he is going to commit to UGA tonight. We will see if that's the case but that's why most of us think he's gone

When you’ve wasted as much time as I have following recruiting over the years the tea leaves become pretty easy to read and are rarely wrong

IIRC Penn St. had almost no depth on the OL due to sanctions. Had walk-ons and stuff, I think.

Hand is a fantastic OL coach and is well respected by people a hell of a lot smarter than we are at evaluating OL play.

Bro, your leaves are old, brown, dry and crinkly!

Do you still want Garner fired? What about Kodi? I believe you even questioned hiring Williams at first. Please...

While I agree that Hill is going to UGA, I don’t agree that the presence of glorified bloggers means the deal is sealed

I was being a bit sarcastic but not completely. It's usually not a coincidence when only reporters of one team show up to an announcement

When one teams site goes and the other doesnt, it’s pretty much 95% that he commits to the school whose site went.

These guys are told beforehand and have to act like they don’t know. That’s also why you always see a rush of CBs right before the announcement all for the same team

Well that’s a shitty way to get your CB ratio up

It is. But I also think they factor in how much time passed between your CB pick and announcement factors into their “predictor score” or whatever they call it

You've got me confused with someone else. I have been ecstatic about our DL and kodj is one of my favorite AU guys ever. Is Trent Thompson still going to AU? Maybe a grad transfer?

You didn’t hear? He was just trolling the UGA fans. He knew all along we weren’t getting Thompson.

Hill officially commits to UGA

He made interesting comment saying "how his parents felt" played a role. Tough break. Will be interesting to see if we go after Tank again now
