Clearly it hasn't been said publicly. I'd just be surprised if there hadn't been some assurances made behind the scenes.

I just don't wanna go into August like last year with no idea who's kicking like last year. A PWO kickoff specialist is fairly easy to find vs. a clutch PK'er...

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.




I agree that those are not indicators....and I misspoke, probably, when I said I was holding out hope for him. He really isn't the size we have been after for awhile, and that has always thrown a major red flag for me.

How do you know he doesn't already have one?

With the obvious exception of his questionable senior year, we as a fanbase got spoiled by Blair Walsh's reliability. What was his record - 120+ consecutive PATs?

Just from reading the AJC article where his Dad said they might have to look around since he's not on scholarship and it's causing a hardship on the family...

Is that the old story from mid-season? It wouldn't shock me if the issue was settled behind the scenes, and Kirby also took the opportunity to encourage Daddy Specs to keep that shite behind closed doors.

That sob story piece to the AJC smacks of trying to force Kirby's hand.

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.



Rumor is that his dad wants to get him out of Athens. There may be a rough crowd of friends that the dad wants some separation from his son.

That was two months ago. How do you know he doesn't have one for this semester is what I meant.

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

If you transfer that is...



I don't think so. If the next school gives him a scholarship he does.

If there's another PK on scholly they should bootem and give it to Blankenship. Kid did well.

Roundtree should stay at safety. Even with our recruits the safety and star positions are thinner than ILB. We need a strong tackler/hitter like him back there IMO. Plus I'm reading that Bishop is going to play corner.....

Surely there is a booster out there willing to pony up a scholarship for Hot Rod.

Sounds like Bishop is making plays at corner in the Army game practices. That would be a big development if he can be a player there

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.


We lost vs Vandy because of awful kickoff return defense. How Beamer still has a job is beyond me.

Maybe this article from 38 minutes ago will explain it...

All I'm saying is kid deserves a scholly IMO, if you feel different that's cool...


Says he'll hang around for the time being...

As was said on the previous page, this seems an awful lot like the Dad is trying to force UGA's hand. Does he deserve one? Sure. But as we all know, trying to call out the boss isn't a great way to get things done...
