I may be wrong or way off base or this may be old news, but is the info I'm seeing concerning a Rice flip accurate?

He is at UGA

so how do we finish?

With Rice, Bishop, and Gibbs inked, I assume our primary targets are Solomon, Collins, and Bryant?

Based on conjecture from elsewhere:

Likely
Markaviest Bryant

Long odds, but we're in the thick of it
Aubrey Solomon
Nico Collins

Looooong shots, virtually no chance, but stranger things have happened?
Jamyest Williams
AJ Terrell


Even if we only finish with MB, that's a damn good haul and suits me 100% fine. If we get anyone else besides MB it's just icing on the cake to me. With that said, I'd really love to get one of nico/solomon. Despite our poor WR production this year I don't think nico is nearly as big a need, since Ridley/Wims/Godwin should be solid and we've got some young guys that might make noise. But you don't get a solomon in every cycle, and we really need someone like that badly.

Also, Leonard Warner is in play still.

UGA will also sign another corner

ETA: I'm sure there are guys committed elsewhere that UGA is quietly still involved with

Gotta get Terrell on campus first. I think Jamyest is gaining steam big time. USCe is a dumpster fire and all of his friends are heading to UGA.


I think he his from Athens or really close as well.

247's CBs for Solomon are 52/48 Bama/UGA, right now.

Where does that leave folks like Leonard Warner at LB who is assumed to be a lock to UGA? More processing?

I really don't think we have room for Warner. When you recruit at a high level and some guys want to take their time, then they get left out in some cases. We have Patrick, Smith, and Taylor on the roster (Roundtree probably moves back to MLB with the # of safeties signed in this class), while you've added Rice and McBride at ILB and a guy like Walter Grant or Jaden Hunter could be moved inside, too. That give your 5-7 ILBs on roster and the numbers don't make sense to add another.

1 CB: Speed or Stokes?
1 DL: Solomon or Sterling, you'd have to figure
1 other: Jamyest? Collins? Bryant?

I expect someone none of us have been talking about. A surprise. Maybe a flip. Maybe just somebody we didn't think of or dismissed as a "can't get".

I also agree with WG, that we are very long shots for Solomon, Jamyest and Nico Collins. I would be very surprised if we land any of those, but will hold out hope. Kirby has done it before and you can never count him out.

Possibly get Speed, Bryant and Warner? Not too shabby.

I haven't really seen anything to indicate Williams is still a major target. I know some fans and commits are tweeting at him and stuff, but that's not really a great indicator imo.

So who will be our PK this year? Becoming obvious Blankenship will not get one for spring semester... FWIW, if I were him & his family I'd be gone today & not wait for something to "work out" if it's becoming a financial burden on his family...

I would be surprised if he wasn't already assured of getting a scholarship

Jake is saying he "might" get one in the fall if we lose someone unexpected over the summer but nothing is guaranteed...

If he gets his scholy, that fricker better work on leg strength in the offseason and kick the fricking ball through the endzone on kickoffs. We literally lost the vandy game because of that shite.

Our kickoffs have been atrocious for years now.

Do you have to sit out a year if you're not on scholarship?

If you transfer that is...
