re: 2025 Football Recruiting

Wasnt there a post on here about Kirby warning Freeze about the family issues in recruiting JuJu?

I agree, this kid's dad will be coaching him or selling him the entire time. Better roll with Walker or Hank in 25 and go get KJ.

Save the money and top off the others we are trying to bring home. The amount of money we can spend on other players is akin to the Dallas Cowboys trading away Hershel and everyone thinking it foolish at the time.

Right?! A rival coach giving another coach in the same league advice is asinine. Don’t believe everything you read.

You can't have a salary cap without Collective Bargaining and schools dont want that

You guys are comical, you dont think head coaches talk to one another? They go to meetings together, play golf in tournaments together, you think they dont discuss business.....and recruiting is a business.

These coaches are absolutely friends. Hell Saban and Freeze vacationed together. Freeze even mentioned he knew Saban was retiring well before he announced it.

Georgia probably had concerns about getting Juju to actually flip and bowed out. I'm sure that was communicated to Freeze. We'll see in time whether that was the right move by Georgia.

Freeze would do his due diligence on all players being recruited. Kirby's input on a player would be in one ear and out the other. Who's to say UGA has enough money tied up in QBs and Kirby wants no part of seeing JuJu in the SEC? Is that outside the realm of possibility?

Thanks for the link.

Kirby and Hugh are pretty close (Hugh has said this publicly). However, I would be surprised if they sit around talking about specific recruits. They are still rivals on the field, after all.

Kirby stole KJ Bolden from Hugh last year, so even if they are.personal friends, crootin is still pretty cut throat.

Why would Freeze need Kirby to "warn" him about the kid's father? Is Freeze not doing the same thing that Kirby is doing (ie: background checks on recruits)? Why would he need another coach's input? This isn't Freeze's first time recruiting in the SEC or this region. This is a 5-star QB who is going to cost a lot of money regardless - are you implying that Freeze isn't researching said 5-star QB's family background and needs a rival coach to do it for him? He was planning on committing hundreds of thousands to a million+ to a QB without a background check?

Yes, coaches talk. But think a little harder about what you are suggesting here. It is comically improbable that Freeze knew nothing about the most important player he was recruiting (a 5-star QB) and needed Kirby to help him out and "warn him"
