Pittman not putting in work


The entire staff is busting their arse right now and Pittman is leading the pack. If we hadn't reached out to him since December, there's a reason for it.

Are you the lone jackass that downvoted my post about being able to increase a test score?

If so,

At this point, you have to believe that's what is happening here. Kirby appears to be wanting to overhaul the roster with a specific focus on 2017. If we lose Davis before NSD, that leaves us with 14 commitments I believe? Hard to see us reeling in 11-13 guys on NSD. We're in the mix for that many and more, but I don't know that we outright lead for any right now.

I completely agree. I think we will under-sign this year. I feel like Pittman and Coley are working their a$$es off to try and load us up before NSD but it may be a little too late for some guys. I really hope they surprise me though. This NSD could be one of the craziest ones we've ever seen.

Also, I don't know if it was mentioned but we look to be in good standing with WR Tre Nixon. He had a good visit, Eason was on him hard, and then the coaches went to see him this week. He still has OVs to Ole Miss and Auburn though so we will see what happens.

from what I've gathered behind Rivals pay wall, Nixon and Hardman are silents. Hardman doing some recruiting for us this week. also, we are trending strong with Brown.

Per Dash, dawgs are looking for more tackles, as opposed to guards (says we're loaded at guard) which Dowdell plays. Doesn't make it any less of a dick move for us not to contact him, but maybe explains the thought process behind it. Makes sense, given all out uncertainty at tackle next season.

Any thoughts on who starts at tackle next year? IMO, they start Wynn at LT and someone like Baker at RT. Kublanow at C, and Pyke and Sims at G. Just my opinion though. Obviously could look wayyyyyyy different with Pittman taking over.

True, but I absolutely love this. No more fringe guys, from now on we go hard after the big fish. I love this approach, we've had nothing but fringe guys as depth for far too long.

I don't disagree, I guess my concern is that it's such a fine line between the mutual parting of ways and the Butch Jones effect, which just burns bridges left and right. I'd just hate for UGA to become that, especially with the talent Creekside has year after year.

Little bit of a difference between us and Butchy given our coaching change, which definitely creates some turnover, but, again, it's such a fine line

For anyone holding out hope on Nigel Warrior, it's probably time to let go for good.

Visiting Auburn today and will then visit Bama and Tennessee for his last OVs. Had to get him on campus to really have a shot.

Meanwhile Pittman is doing work. 4* OT Jauan Williams from DC (6'7, 300 lbs) is now giving us an OV.

Yeah, I let go of him, Kyle Davis, Drob and a few others along time ago. I will admit I wasn't sure on Drob but I am pretty convinced he never had any intention of going to UGA. We do this to ourselves every year.

Warrior basically bashed Pruitt yet he still visits Bama and not UGA.....

To be completely fair though, the dead period was 4 of those 6 weeks.

Seems like any one with a name variation of Juwaun gets extra attention this week from the coaching staff

What's the latest on E.J. Price? Have we had any coaches visit him lately?

How would you compare/contrast Mecole and D-Rob? and if you could choose one, which would it be?
