I didn't mean to make fun of you. I figured it was a mistake, but I was genuinely interested in your opinion.

I'll be surprised if Wildgoose is in the final class

Yea hard to see him or Condon in our final class. Smith looks solid though, and he can ball

If it goes down like I think it does Wildgoose, Condon and Tannor are out, hell maybe even Azeez. You gotta take the best you can take no matter what to win championships. I think this will be our last year taking offers from kids that won't see the field at Georgia.

Not a huge fan of this line of speculation and singling commits out by name, to be honest. We don't know what the board looks like, and it's unfair to the kids.

Not the end of the world, but recruits do read these boards. Nothing to gain by speculation on those things.

Has to be Fields. He stated he wanted to commit in Oct

We picked up a PWO commit from a JUCO D-Tackle, Desi Bigby, fwiw. 6'3 310 lbs per his 247 profile, shows offers from Ga Southern and UCF, also shows that Miss State, Penn State, UTk, and Mizzou showed interest at one point.

I spoke with Desi and I also spoke with a source just a few minutes ago.

Desi Bigby was in communication with support staff this morning. He was told the coaches said he had a spot as long as he could get in on his own.

He took that and ran with it, putting up a commitment post without putting much details in it.

After he put it up, he received a message from the staff and was asked to take it down at this time because nothing had been discussed regarding details of what he was coming as, grades, etc. They also want him to visit later on this fall.

So no, Georgia does not have a preferred walk-on commit as of right now. From what I gathered, as long as the staff wants him in Athens and other things check out, he will come.

We will monitor that.

We aren't telling a top 100 player at a position of need to hit the road.

Condon

Don't see us not taking an OT in this class either. Only people at risk of being told to look elsewhere are Wildgoose and Becton, and maybe Tannor if Anderson and KJ really want to come here.

Top 50 player in the nation and he's a tall corner, which we know Kirby and Mel love, very well could be the guy Rusty was talking about.

This is fair. My comments at least were less along the lines of the staff telling anyone to hit the road and more simply the reality of how hard it would be to see the field at DB based on last year's and this year's hypothetical class. I think the staff loves Wildgoose (and I'm also of the mind that they like some of the athletes at that school as well). I don't think they would have accepted the commit that early if there wasn't something there that the recruitniks are missing.

Anyone who thinks that Azeez isn't a part of this class assuming he wants to be is out of their mind. He's got amazing talent in his own right... not to mention the connections that Porter brought up.
