Kublanow is big news IMO. He is a solid 3 year starter at G. I will take that 6 days a week and twice on Sunday. Just hope DGD has enough reserve funds to last till NSD.

Considered to be the best interior lineman to come out of the South in 3 years and he completely abused Nkemdiche in camp. Definitely a kid you want on our side.

And, in the event henry flips, that's one more person to convince Tyren jones to flip to us.

If we lose Henery, we likely lose a big piece in getting Tunsil. So, lose Henry and Tunsil, possibly gain Kamara, T. Jones, and we're still in it for Reuben.

also, Nathan Theus just called Henry out on twitter

I don't see how Jones and Henry would be tied together. I know they technically play the same position, but every school takes multiple RBs per class and everyone knows that Henry likely won't stay at RB wherever he goes.

Also, I think UGa is very much in it - and may even lead - for Kamara, but surely no one expects him to play RB in college, right?

I would like to add to the Derrick Henry discussion a bit also. I don't normally post quotes from the recruits but I just saw this on Henry's twitter: ?@KingHenry_2 The people who talk about me & make these articles & blogs are a #TRIP! . Don't have nothing correct about ME #LOL There is also a good bit of conversation between he, Trammel Terry, Brice, and Shaq about their upcoming trip to Oregon. He sounds all Dawg to me.

I think it has to do more with a.) Jones is in the thick of Cobb COunty UGA country, and b.) Bama has a frickton of RB depth already. Add a guy like Henry who very adamantly said he has never played LB and never wants to, and it just seems logical that Jones make a switch over if Henry goes to Bama. That's not to say UGA doesn't also have a lot of depth, but given the opportunit to play at both schools, why pick one with a logjam at RB when a comparable school has less of a line to the front? Nothing much to base it on except rumors and logical deduction (god knows logic isnt very reliable in recruiting, though)

As for Kamara, I'd never discount BooBoo using him as a RB (see Thomas, Carlton) but he definitely seems like a guy you put out there as a slot guy. Maybe even just to have him as an athlete

Added Wilkerson, Cardiello, and Kublanow to the commits list and took a few guys who are solid to other schools off the offers list.



Also, the bad news: McGarity says Perno will return for next season. Womp womp.

This right here tells me all I need to know about you as a poster. Jones committed to Bama because of how crowded our Backfield is. IF henry flips to Bama and that would make 3 count them 3 RBs in the class. Wouldnt leave much room for Jones know would it?

They're not, TJ stated that we're taking another RB in this class, and has no problem with it.

It's just something to make them feel better.

I had a Rivals sub when he committed, so I cant access the article. You're more than welcome to look in our recruiting thread I'm sure it's in there. Or you can ask anyone in our fanbase.

He's the reason why we know we're trying to take 3 RB's in this class. Everybody assumed it was going to be 1-2 considering the RB haul we had last year. Jones is the only reason that we know we're taking three this class. Not everybody was happy when they heard it.

Yeah, soudns shaky at best. I don't think Jones was counting on the other 2 RB's being Tenpenny and Henry. Compete with those two plus Drake, Yeldon, Calloway, and Hart.

UGA: Crowell, Malcolme, Marshall, Gurley, and maybe Kamara.

Tenpenny committed before Jones did, so Jones has always been expecting one more. He was told before he committed we were taking 3. Not sure why you think it's shakey.

Calloway


No longer RB, now an H-back.

quote:

Drake


I'm not sold on him being RB, maybe WR/DB. I saw him play in person and most of his big plays came on outside sweeps/toss.

Because nobody else has mentioned this acceptance of 3 RB's by Jones. If anything, someone in the Bama thread mentioned that he was turned off by Bama still seeking out more RB's after him

Not really. I think in the end he comes to UGA. Just too much going for him both in PT and in Ramsey and Terry both going there for him to go to Bama. I can understand if he weren't committed already that Bama could have a bigger push, but right now it seems to just be pressure from his HS coaches and Bama coaches

One post does it, huh? Wow. You should read more than one before making that decision. Ask TD or DGD what they think. They'll let you know I'm a pretty knowledgable, level headed guy.

quote:

Jones committed to Bama because of how crowded our Backfield is

Not sure if that's the only reason or even the primary reason. I know he has interest in UGA, but I think he's on record as saying that Bama's reputation recently for putting backs in the league and how much he loved the campus and program were the primary factors in his decision.

quote:

IF henry flips to Bama and that would make 3 count them 3 RBs in the class. Wouldnt leave much room for Jones know would it?

Do you expect Henry to stay at RB wherever he goes? I don't, so in my mind it wouldn't affect Jones at all.
