Wil say Josh didn't keep himself in shape. The weight is legit, but if cleared will play 4 games.

Also Rooster you saying we won't sign 25 is true since we can only sign 23 with hynes and Belk counting on this year's class...cant count back anymore.

Well you can but it's damn bear impossible.

A good athlete. Three or four years older than Zachh. Might actually have some potential to contribute on special teams. Supposed to be fearless, a head hunter. I think he is transferring in from a small college maybe? I dunno. There is some info out there about him because the person who told me that read it somewhere. Mom is supposed to be really happy because this is the first time the boys will play together on the same team.

Not a good sign with regard to Belk. Not a self starter evidently, not self motivated. Dillmam will be so far up his arse he'll think he's getting a colonoscopy every day he walks into the weight room.

Well, either way, if Belk goes on this year then that opens another one up for the 2020 class so it all balances in the end. Honestly, if the transfer has been approved before the season begins ... I don't see how Belk is not being counted back on the 2018 class, not the 2019 class. Because we did not burn all of our 2018 LOIs.

Rooster...got a question for you a Dawg fan asked me. Any idea why we played Georgia in Athens three years in a row from '79-'81?

I sure do know why .... I remember it very well.

They played us twice in a row '77 and 78' ... so we had to play them three times in a row to even the series back out in order to make the contract balance between Dooley and Carlin.

I don't remember exactly why we got the two games in a row in '77 and '78. I seem to recall something about Dooley and Deitzel having worked something out in '69 and '70 that made things work themselves out in '77 and '78 but then Dooley did something, like around '74 or '75 that Carlin was willing to accommodate with the game to their place in '80 which, of course, proved very fortuitous for UGA in '80 because we would have beaten them in The Cock Pit in '80.

Not a clue on the weight.


Looks like it was just a typo.

If this is 360, Belk is about 7' tall.

We're supposed to get a verified weight after Saturday's practice.

Evidently he was being held out because of some missing approval from the medical staff ... not sure if it was weight related or not.

Tomorrow we'll have an official weight. Or, at least, they (T-Rob probably) are going to give us his weight after practice.

Have had quite a few Dawgs tell me "congrats in advance on Jammie Robinson" today. Has anybody heard anything about this?

I was told Jammie and Cam Smith were silent commits last week. Guy that told me doesn’t have the best track record but does have some decent connections within the recruiting office.

I have not.

Last I heard about him was a week or so ago and was told TRob had visited with him and reenforced the relationship and everyone walked away still feeling good about him signing with us. May have been two weeks ago, I'll have to look back in this thread.

Something was going on down there last night. I got there about 7ish maybe, met with and talked-to who I had to talk-to then made my way out of the stadium and over to the Cockaboose. A friend stopped by from her condo when he saw my lights on ... we had a couple of drinks and then decided to go up on the deck for a little while. It started drizzling. We're sitting there and all of the sudden a bunch of kids, looked like prospects, came out ... or other they came from the IPF and were walking around the south end, that was about 9ish maybe. Saw a lot of new script Carolina under armour gear and I asked one of the big guys where he got it because I have not seen the script logo since the 80s ... and several of them smiled and said they had just gotten it or something.

I dunno, I didn't get into it too much with them about what was going on ... I was having too much fun just chillin'.

It got a little humid by that time so we went back downstairs. I really just wanted to see how the new tarp I put on was holding-up with all the rain.

If we pull 6 of those 7 which is a stretch still leaves boom and Co room to flip one of we let Tyquan Walker walk...if no flips then take Walker again if he can qual.

This is as of now more will pop up as they always do

Darius Washington is looking at us, kid out of Florida. OLine prospect. I think he's committed to one of the Mississippi schools ...

Whigans is going to PSU.

I asked about Moore for you and I hope this doesn't jinx it but was told we are looking really good with him.

Big pickup. Three to play three. He'll be eligible to play in 2019 and just in time to help in the secondary.

quote:

He’s making a move from one USC to the other.

South Carolina Gamecocks football picked up a transfer from Southern Cal in defensive back Jamel Cook, the school confirmed. The defensive back from Florida redshirted in 2016 and played sparingly last season.

Out of high school, the 6-foot-4, 190-pounder was a four-star prospect, the No. 99 player in his class and No. 2 athlete. 

He made two tackles in three games last season. Out of high school, he made the 2015 Prep Star All-American Dream Team, USA Today All-Florida second team and All-State Class 6A first team.
