re: 2018 UGA Recruiting Thread (commits, offers, visits, etc.) - Back to that #1 class

UTk folks are in denial that Mays would go elsewhere

I probably would be freaking out as well. Some still think he could end up there, but there was lots of chatter UTk would keep Butch through end of the season weeks ago. That looks likely, and no matter if you're an alum or not, you want the best for your kid. Especially when he could potentially make millions one day.

They likely wouldn't even have a position coach in until after he's enrolled. Great offensive line coaches are hard to find.

It's a nice feeling that the '17 team we are watching is most likely the least talented team we will field for the next 5 years or so.

Only reason he would go to Moo U is because of two families or the other reason Clemson historically pulled recruits. No one and I mean no one follows Clemson. T'ton is a typical mill town -- GA, Tech, Aubie town.

I feel like our staff has done a good job of making sure our younger guys have gotten experience for next season. Reed and Baker will be back in the backfield along with McGee. LeCounte and Gibbs have both played meaningful minutes in big games, as well. At ILB we'll be returning Patrick while Taylor and Rice have both seen a lot of action. OLB we'll lose both of our starters but Walker and Grant have both played very well at times. Grant should be the next superstar at OLB. DL is probably where we have our best depth. Losing Thompson (perhaps) and, to a lesser extent, Atkins, will hurt but you still have a ton of guys with a lot of experience behind them.

We'll take a step back on defense next year because guys like Thompson and Smith are really tough to replace, but a lot of our opponents think we'll just drop off a cliff and that won't happen.

It will be the first big test to our "reload not replace" philosophy on defense. We already do it at RB.

Walker

He's probably our best pure pass-rusher. Every time he is in he seems to be affecting the QB. I'm really curious to see what a season as a starter would bring in terms of sacks and hurries for him.

Cade Mays decommits from Tennessee.

Let me just stare at this like a Christmas list

Robert Cooper won't have a spot in this class. We'll get Jordan Davis from NC or Barmore from Philly on the last DL spot. I think we finish with Salyer, Hill, Ford, Reese, Tindall, Barmore/Davis, and then one of Campbell/Mays/Sandidge/best available. If two of the best available guys wanted to come then Wildgoose or Condon could be asked to greyshirt.

Again?
