re: 2019 Recruiting Class (NSD - Today; 5* WR George Pickens flips to UGA from Auburn)

If Elam, Stevenson and Cross want to come, we will take 5 DBs

Based on the way Campbell and LeCounte seem to have not grown at all, I’ll take all the DBs we can get

LeCounte is 1 tackle behind Monty Rice for the lead on defense this year (he's got 9 more solo tackles than Rice). He might be a tad inconsistent but I thought he was doing pretty well overall.

I didn’t say LeCounte was a bad player but he hasn’t progressed since the start of the year. He came into the season a solid of untested player but he still is prone to bad angles and blown assignments when you’d think he’d have learned by now.

Only way I see him improving is to bring guys in to push him toward improvement. Kirby did the right thing starting Reese Saturday for that very reason.

I also think we’ll see guys like Bishop and maybe (pure speculation) Gibbs transfer

I've heard rumblings of 1-2 DB departures but would have figured Bishop/Brini... Gibbs could also make sense though.

Could see Gibbs, Brini, and Speed all leave. Bishop as well

I would hate to see veteran players replaced by true freshman. I think it hurts the concept of reloading. Then again we are loaded with freshmen and true sophomores. Good problem to have.

Can’t believe people are hating on Campbell. Dude is usually draped all over receivers he just needs to learn how not to get called and get that head around. It’s like we don’t even remember what a bad corner looks like and that ain’t it. Brendan Langley started as a true freshman and got ran off the field because he was getting torched. Campbell isn’t getting lit up. He’s holding his own in the SEC.

People seem to come to very quick decisions around here. Cleveland's a bust! McKenzie can't catch! Wims was overrated! Roquan should go to UCLA, he's not a Georgia man! Gaillard is a waste! Campbell can't play CB! LeCounte can't play!

Relax and let it play out. Most of the kids you are making snap decisions on are underclassmen.

Relax.

I’m not directing the comment to any one person/poster. I’m guilty of it myself. Look at how many are already taking a side on Justin Fields: he’s the Savior! He’s not ready!

We’re 9-1. We’ll be favored up to the SECCG. Regardless of what happens, next year we return virtually everyone while we continue to stockpile an embarrassing amount of talent. With a head coach that is a Georgia alum who seems to know what he’s doing,

I see zero reason for any angst whatsoever from a Georgia fan at this point. Why we would fight amongst ourselves about the talent level of underclassmen escapes me.

I plan to enjoy the heck out of the rest of the season as we watch this play out. Win or lose the SECCG, the future is brighter for Georgia football than it has ever been in my lifetime.

Lecounte has made a lot of mistakes this year and also made some good plays. He’s not one of those great tackling safety’s but on a lot of those throws that aren’t happening or the ball gets thrown away likely means our guys on the backend did their job on that play. How many times have we been just torched deep this year? It feels like it never happens anymore and when it does the guy is covered well and the reciever makes a good play or they call a flag on us that is almost always a flag that could have been withheld. I feel like our 4 Dbs have played pretty damn well overall. Lecounte is aggressive and takes himself out of plays or takes shite angles sometimes but he’s explosive and fast and back there for a reason.
