yeah, bg13 is good people. But if he comes to UGA, I fully expect him to be a RB. We cross train a lot of guys, but Henry has never played LB (his words) and never wants to.

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.



Well my sources in Cobb County have told me other wise. The primary reason he didnt come to UGA was because of how crowded our backfield is.

Do you expect Henry to stay at RB wherever he goes?


At UGA? Yes. At Bama? No, $atan will move him to LB.

All I see you do is get butthurt when we talk about RF. Answer me this... Is RF's recruitment over?

THIS. He wants to get PT. I am not saying for sure he would flip to UGA, but if Bama adds a 3rd he is gone

I know. BG13 may be good people, but all he does is come in here and talk about how RF grew up a Bama fan, in a Bama family and etc. Blah blah blah. His recruitment isnt over...

Is his recruitment over? Of course not. He's signed nowhere nor is he enrolled anywhere.

I never said it was over. I just think he ultimately signs with Bama.

Grantham was up in Indianapolis today to visit with Kimbrough and Elijah Daniels. We need to do work and land Kimbrough before OSU decides they want in. If we can land Kimbrough alongside O'Neal, Rankin, and Carter, then bring in McMillan next year, we will be fricking set at ILB.

I think the info you got on Jones was incorrect. Tyren Jones has stated he welcomes the competition at RB and quotes from him are the reason Bama fans knew we were taking 3 Rbs this cycle. If Henry signed with Bama he would get a shot at RB, but would be moved to H back eventually. He just doesn't wanna be a LB and H back is a pivotal role in the Bama offense.

I think BG13 is probably spot on with RF. Bama is in his heart and I think the trey mathews, wiggins, etc friendship is over blown. RF has plenty of friends at Bama and has family(cousin) there also.

He seems to make (best friends)rather easily, as now the lupa and troopa kids seem to be his best friends. At the end of the day RF will make the best decision for himself regardless of what other players do.

Thats your opinion. My source hasnt been wrong yet.

I dont really care about what politically correct stuff has been said to the Bama beat writers, this is someone close to the family.

I agree with you. But he loves this whole recruiting thing. Kinda like a stripper. They love everyone till last call...

I think as long as Kirby stays RF will end up at Bama

Hate to call you on your source or whatever DZ, but an uncle of TJ's is a prominent poster on BOL and said from day 1 when we started recruiting him he welcomes all competition and wouldn't care since before he committed he was told about 3 backs that being said, everyone knows that Henry won't stay at RB either at UGA or Bama, he just won't, much more suited for Bama's H-back or a WR or TE at UGA, he also knows this it's like the gorilla in the room, he is not an SEC caliber back, many flaws related to height and running style. Hate to tell you this but all we are hearing is even with Kamara if he picks Bama, but won't if we add Henry, or Henry, TJ is still sticking with Bama according to his uncle, he has confidence in himself to beat out whatever competition so we are being told no worries at all he is absolutely done, won't take any visits consider any schools etc, just letting you know what our side is hearing from a confirmed source who is a family member fwiw

Either you never went to an English class in school or your name is Bill Faulkner because that was a pretty lengthy two sentence statement.

What are you talking about? That statement made zero sense.

My source told me that TJ picked Bama because of our crowded backfield. I would assume adding a 3rd RB in the class would effect his decision, but I am more than willing to be proven wrong. It is a long way to NSD. And I am sure that the Finisher will be in TJ ear till then.

I will trust my source over what somebody said on a message board, BWB. Even if it is his "uncle".

lolwut? The kid is far too big to play wideout. You ever heard of a 250 lb WR?

I will say this, the kid has a better chance to play RB under Richt; he will be given at least 2 years to prove himself at RB at UGA before they ask him to move. The key word is ask because Bobo and Richt won't MAKE players do shite. They won't even tell Crowell or B Smith to change their damn number so they can be on the field at the same time.

If your source gets enough information he will be wrong eventually. Even coaches get it wrong sometimes. Kids change their mind, their opinions change, etc.

Ive had coaches tell me a kid was solid only to see him decommit within a month. I've had coaches say a player was too good not to recruit, but that they didn't like their chances only to see that kid commit months later.

NO source will ever be right 100% of the time - even if the source is the kid himself.
