re: 2014 CLASS IS COMPLETE, CARTER IS A DAWG

Whussup bro

He was very close I believe to taking the Southern Miss job a couple years ago and backed out last minute. He is a lot better candidate than I think he is perceived as because of a lot of the behind the scenes duties he has been delegated by Saban (more than any other assistant under Saban). I think there is no discussion though if some dominoes fell and he was offered an SEC job (maybe not Vandy but I think he'd still consider) and if somehow UGA opened he'd easily walk from Ttown to Athens to take that job I can almost guarantee. On the flip of that, Saban seems to have delegated personnel decisions (I didn't think there was any way Saban would take back Lance, but he was a good friend of Kirby's) and allowed him even to make some decisions on players as well (Holcombe is a great example, he is a guy who Bama doesn't offer a couple years ago, he is a smaller OLB who could be very helpful as a Sam LB against HUNH teams) so there has been a whole lot of delegation to Kirby sort of seemingly setting the situation up for Saban to retire and Kirby to take over (hopefully) in a couple years IMHO.

Tiger fans seem pretty confident with this guy.....so maybe we have a chance

In other news, there's a rumor going around that Alvin Kamara was telling recruits not to go to Alabama while they were on official visits.

Is he another in a growing line of UGA sleeper agents?

Carver Columbus? Part of the reason is Carver is deadly close to Opelika. Another is that UGA hasn't had the best run of recruiting the school, what with Gabe Wright being a fat douche on his visit, Crow being Crow, Deion Bonner being a thief on his visit, and our coaches generally just dropping the ball when it comes to notifying high schoolers that they don't have a commitable offer.

The relationship between UGA and Carver is just not good at this point

Damn. :(. I thought us taking in Jarvis Jones would have helped heal that a little bit. Those big schools in our state being pipelines for other teams is not good.

Jarvis is the only player to come out of there recently that could stay out of trouble. Most of the Carver players are radioactive. Isaiah Crowell was a choirboy compared to most of those guys. AU, Bama, UT, etc. can have them

I don't know anything about him specifically, and I'm sure that there are some really good kids on the team. UGA's just had enough bad experiences that I think it's probably time to move on. There are plenty of high schools with really good players.

Most of those guys need to go to schools where the punishment for indiscretions involves rugs.

Well, problem there is we didn't even get him out of Carver. It was USC that got him.

Yea but we gave him a shot when USC wouldn't. That should have helped us in their eyes. Not that I care. Jarvis was the exception to the gang school that is Carver.

Wesley Green will be in Athens this weekend. He will not have any contact with coaches as it is still a dead period, however he will be hanging out with the players (Most notably Shaq Wiggins). This will not take the place of his official visit that he will still take on either 24th or 31st. Seems as though UGA is in a good position for him.
