Ok, I'll update this as I found it. This is what was said:
So NOT an insider, so I shouldn't have jumped the gun, but I don't think my overall point was that off. They are backing off to what OSU was doing last year (allegedly from this poster).
You seem pretty up to date on things, any idea if this Rivals poster is to be trusted? You may know whom it is
quote:
Poster over on Rivals that has had good info on Georgia side of things in the past said that there are people inside the Georgia program that are feeling like Bolden picks Ohio State.
Even if we don't end up getting him. We a certainly making Georgia sweat this one out.
quote:
Another bit of fun info he gave on the Georgia NIL side of things.
They are backing off the big offers they were throwing around last year realizing it isn't sustainable. Said they are taking a more Ohio State level approach to things this year.
This poster IMO is very reliable with their info.
quote:
Nothing dramatic from UGA. If anything, they're toning down the guarantees and focusing much more on the current roster. They reached for a few guys last year and decided it's not sustainable. TBH, I think they're retreating more toward OSU's current NIL position. There are a few people here who don't feel great about Bolden. A lot less confidence than pre-OV to OSU.

Weird, our one legit insider who constantly shares info has said the opposite. OSU is ponying up big for Bolden and Houston as well as Scott after last year’s misses. We’re still playing the game but not throwing out eye opening money. There are two decent insiders that post on Rivals but they are very vague now and don’t post all that often.

The insider I know said the opposite. He is confident Bolden is ours. He does say that Ohio State is trying to make a move, but we are (at this point) confident.

quote:Which is similar to what we have been saying. The only difference is we have been told that was our approach all along. Give the money to the current players for retention purposes, with smaller amounts to HS kids. We were told our coaches felt that it would harm chemistry in the clubhouse if younger players came on to the team getting more dollars than players who have been there putting in the work and making plays.

quote:Actually, I don't. I have heard 2-3 names that are supposed to be pretty reliable, but some of the others I don't know what board they are on. That said, my source started his own board, and apparently has a close source in the AD. He knows several coaches. They guy we get the best information from goes by SoFl on his own board. From what he has said and what has happened I believe he is 100% legit in that he knows people in the AD and is getting information from them.

Btw, I wasn't trying to give you a hard time.

Not saying UGA class is not great because it is but the 5 star power just isn’t there to his year per 247.

Give us a bit.
We expect to get commits from:
Justin Williams
KJ Bolden
Williams Nwaneri (I know you guys are in it, too)
and are trying to get back in it for Breland, but are way behind right now. We expect Riddick to decommit to either Alabama or Auburn.
We are also trying to catch the eye of Jeremiah Smith, but personally, I think Ohio State has him wrapped up.
That would give us 5 5*. Not great but we have a lot of highly ranked 4* players.
ETA
I should add that we are expecting to take somewhere around 30 commits and could go a tad higher.

We spend more on travel, etc..not NIL. Your article has nothing to do with NIL

Teenage boys that influence millions and millions of dollars.

What the hell is going on in here?

Oh I know. I was just thinking maybe I was crazy (and I was a bit as I thought it was an "insider" which this guy may be).
Those posts were probably from 7-10 days ago. Not sure if it is true or not but I would think that is kind of the only way to do it unless you want to have problems.
I don't see how you can offer a kid who hasn't stepped on campus yet similar money to your 2 year starting DE for example. That would have to create real locker room problems. Programs who aren't at the top of the heap may have to do that to get the 5* kids, but theoretically the top 5-10 schools don't have to do that as much.
Again, we are all just guessing here a bit

He got his feelings hurt because he claimed Alabama had a higher rated class than Georgia. When called on it he said it was better according to player average. When I posted the avge. per player according to 247 composite, he said he was going by On3. When I posted that On3 had us ahead according to their overall average he got mad about that.
In his defense, I did not post On3's average per person, but their over all score per team. (Not cumulative score but the score they come up with using some convoluted formula. I admitted what happened, but he is still upset.
In short, he is wrong but can't bring himself to admit it.
Alabama fans hold grudges.

I get that. Sometimes people on message boards may not say they are insiders but sometimes they lean into it a bit to make people think they are. I was just curious....not trying to get a gotcha.

I agree. Georgia insiders claim (Who knows?) that is how we have one it from the get go. In all truthfulness nobody actually knows what goes on behind closed doors.
Then you have people claiming to know stuff and actually don't know anything. Add in people from other fan bases who knows the next door neighbor of the uncle of the janitor who dumps a head coaches trash and he overheard the head coach say that their rival does...etc. etc. etc It's really hard to know what is true and what is not.

You really have a wild interpretation of this whenever you can actually read the conversation. But judging by what you said earlier it’s pretty apparent you can’t.

I have three whole posts in this thread. Four now. It was just funny you told me take a trip to the eye doctor when you yourself can’t fricking read

Here is what I said. Here is the conversation:
You:

Y’all have won two straight and still have less of a national average per recruit than Alabama, so sorry if I don’t believe you.
Me:

Georgia has a 93.40 Alabama has a 93.20
You:

I used on3 industry rankings
Me:

On3: Georgia 94.35 Alabama 92.26

The On3 ranking; not the composite of all other sites.
