Just hope they know it won't be a cake walk to land both. The whole hot seat ploy won't work on these kids. Gonna have to blow them away and be honest with them. Coaching stability is starting to play a big factor in these top recruits

no way Saban lets another 5* DE get away from him... & with Foster, it's needless to say that any other team has a lot of ground to make up with him at this point. plenty of time for him to change his mind though & I'm not saying that it won't happen, I just doubt it will.

Good. Foster has visited Auburn multiple times, so I'm hoping he starts the recruiting process over again.

UGA may be in better shape than the gumps think. Read this on another site. makes sense to me

) Jordan's father, Ronald, mentions that he likes that CTG will stand up for his players. At 'Bama, reports are that CNS has stepped over a guy who's obviously dehydrated to the point of needing medical attention and has no problem dropping a RS FR former 5* kid with good academic standing after he had ankle surgery (Burton "BJ" Scott - the other of the "Escalade" crew, many more).
2) Preparation to the NFL. We have 2 coaches at Jordan's position who've had some success as NFL coaches; none of 'Bama's coaches have shown any success in the NFL.
3) Ability to feature his talents within the defensive scheme. Jordan is known as a edge rusher and the NFL does place a high premium on this ability. CTG is getting 1 kid/year into the 10 sack club who have this ability, and this is without even having had the time to put "his" guys throughout the roster (Sure, he recruited JJ out of USC, but he's had to use the talents of the other guys on the roster to put him in the position to make plays). CNS has had 1 guy in his 5 years @ 'Bama put up 10 sacks (Wallace Gilberry got 10 sacks in CNS's 1st season - then CNS didn't see fit to use his NFL contacts to even get him drafted).


HA HAHA



Sometimes with those kind of posts you have to wade through the shite

1. That report wasn't at Bama, from an AU player when he was coach at Miami Dolphins, different mentality Saban had to walk into the pro game with, it isn't anything like that at Bama
2. LoL but how many PLAYERS in the last 10 yrs are succesful, Bama has more, we also have arguably the BEST DL coach admittedly by severel current all pro guys, coaching his position.
3. LoL @ Gillberry BS, he had been through 3 yrs of Mike Shula S&C no workout program, hence his problems & I think most NFL scouts are drooling over Upshaw & Hightower this year as edge rushers

If you want me to fill you in on how UGA staff is REALLY pitching Jenkins against Bama, who has a massive lead, I will but it is none of that BS

On Foster, not surprised if he will consider an OV, but he is in love with Bama gonna be a tough pull away, but there is PLENTY of time, not so much for JJ

Foster wasn't the only one having a great time today. Dawson and Redmond were also enjoying Athens
... Some are saying both of them could pull the trigger sooner rather than later....

The biggest pitch having the most impact with him is the fact that Bama already has 5 LBs, and a pretty good hometown candidate for the position he could possibly play, and Ryno is a much better LB IMHO, just a personal assesment, would love to have him still, that is the one thing weighing on his mind

I don't think were pitching him on the negatives of going to bama (at least I hope we aren't). We've got more than enough positives to lure him toward uga, and he isn't a make or break recruit for us. No need to spread shite about bama,just play our game and let the kid decide which place feels most comfortable. If it isn't Athens, so be it, plenty of others to try for

Honestly TD, this sounds kinda crazy bit wouldn't mind giving up JJ, since Bama is already positively STACKED at LB and Ryno is an absolute stud one of the best most underrated OLB in the country IMHO, so to open up a spot for a McCullers or Deon Bush or another DB wouldn't mind it at all

Tray Matthews has been trying to sway him to de-commit... we'll see if between our staff and his friend we can manage to flip him. He has pretty strong leanings towards Bama still though.

Is Jenkins an EE? If not I don't see why everyone keeps talking about a decision date in 2 1/2 weeks. He may commit that day but if he isn't an EE then nothing matters until Feb. It's not like schools are going to stop recruiting him. If Jenkins is entering early then it's a bit more important. Thanks

It's funny how Heath Evans is the only one painting Saban bad, yet Yeremiah Bell and Jeno James himself don't:

quote:

Safety Yeremiah Bell, who was on that 2005, defended Saban on Wednesday. "I think it was a lot worse than coach Saban knew," Bell said of James' condition, which was caused by dehydration brought on by gastroenteritis. "I just don't think that we, us as players, even knew how bad it was." James had to be hospitalized that day but said he was visited in the hospital by Saban, who arrived at the hospital 45 minutes after James arrived and stayed until about 12:15 a.m. "It made me feel pretty good about this team to see my head coach there," James said at the time.

He comes from the type of family, that if he makes a decision publicly, before NSD, that will be that. I don't see him flipping, not at all.
