So, you don't know what it means, but it applies to Richt?

You really don't know what it means, do you?
So, tell me. LSU fans are running around saying they will beat Alabama and will easily win the West, so if LSU loses to Alabama, does that mean Les is a choke artist?

Sounds like he enjoyed the visit, but I agree with MenloDawg....he's not coming to UGA. Only time will tell.

However, it was his experience with Bulldogs coaches that especially stood out.
"I really spent a lot of time with the defensive coaching staff. [Defensive coordinator Jeremy] Pruitt and [linebackers coach Kevin] Sherrer sat me down and showed me how I would be playing at Georgia," Davis said.
They detailed the role that would await him in Athens.
"Inside linebacker and I would be an every-down 'backer with my ability. Rushing the passer up the middle on third down also," he said.
Pruitt, who previously served as an Alabama defensive assistant from 2007-2012, evoked the memory of a former Crimson Tide standout while sizing up Davis' skill set.
"Coach Pruitt said I remind him of like a Rolando McClain type player with my ability and also playing on the offensive side of the ball like Rolando did. He said I'm that type of player to him," Davis said.
McClain, an All-American and Butkus Award winner in college, was a top-10 pick in the 2010 NFL draft and currently plays for the Dallas Cowboys.
Nice approach Georgia. Remind him of how great Bama's MLB have been under Saban

All Georgia is doing is positioning itself in case something happens at Bama. Like if Saban were to retire.
UGA has no chance otherwise.

I don't know. I keep hearing contradicting things about his dad and his recruitment. I'm in banking so I talk to a few big money guys around Tuscaloosa. I've heard that his dad has said, off record, that he would shut down his recruitment if was really considering shunning Bama. This morning I heard, from a well connected guy, that his dad is going to support him no matter what.

Alabama has been money in getting LBs to the next level. Ragland is about to be the fourth consecutive "MLB" to be a first rounder. Wayne and Ben Davis know this all too well. But they also have to right to make the right choice overall. In the end, I think he stays home. But we will have to see.

Do you really not understand the concept of what happened? Sure RM played at another school, but if you'll use your head, you'd relize that he was coached by pruitt. The guy now at UGA tryign to recruit BD here.
When recruiting QBs Richt could point to the fact he's coached 2 Heisman trophy winners....is that retarded since they were at FSU and not here?

No dog in this fight, but...
McClain was gone before Pruitt took an on field job with Bama, and even then it was DBs.
The job he held prior, Director of Player Development, is a role that's more involved in overall recruiting and helping players in their responsibilities off the football field LINK
And before it being mentioned that Pruitt then recruited McClain, McClain was committed to Alabama for around 6 months prior to Saban getting hired.
So I believe Richt would have more to stand on mentioning 2 Heisman winners at FSU than Pruitt talking about LBs at Bama...

McClain left after the 2009 season. Pruitt was still director of player development. Pruitt became DB coach in 2010.

Ragland is a border line first rdr according to the pundits, he has a bright future for sure. Isn't Davis a Bama legacy? Yea, he's not coming to UGA. The future is bright for the dawgs at the position, I expect Natrez Patrick and Roquan Smith to take over next season.

If there is a better LBer in college this year I haven't seen him. Sure there are guys with elite measurables that will be drafted for their potential ahead of Ragland, but he's the best "on the field" LBer in the country.

I agree about Ragland, think he will make a hell of a pro. Most scouts have Jaylon Smith, Daron Lee, Myles Jack and Leonard Floyd ahead of him because of the intangibles like you mentioned. I'm a Falcons fan and would love to have Reggie, the birds have a need at ILB.
