re: 2020 Recruiting Thread (SVP and Broderick Jones stay committed to the G)

Evans is going to do what he does and there's no point thinking about him.

Dawgs are likely the #2 class in the nation when this is done, and I'm more than happy with that.

Monken runs a ton of formations with 3-4 wideouts and no tight ends.

He does use the H.Back though.

Is it possible he will play QB?

Umm... no

His arm is not very good.

AD, why are we seemingly still recruiting and making so many scholly offers when we only have 2 spots still open after Jones and VanPran?

Currently at 21 with Jones and VanPran, and Cager and Wolf cost 2 of the 25 limit.

But we are still recruiting:

Rakestraw
Evans
Edwards
McConkey
Lundy
Kinnie
Williams
Jackson
Johnson
Huntley
Burch

Now at least 5 of those guys are either already committed elsewhere and/or are super longshots, of course, but they're still takes if they were to flip/choose UGA.

And the other 5-6 guys all appear to be takes, with priorities on another RB, which would then leave us only 1 spot remaining.

What are we telling these guys and how exactly are we managing this?

Is the NCAA about to remove transfer players from reducing the 25 limit or something?

Wait, you sure you’re not AD?

We will take more than 2.

Won't be left hanging on signing day without options. The days of pool parties and watermelon buffets are gone.

Don't be surprised if there's more attrition and Grad Transfer chatter.

The NCAA will likely try to make some adjustments to Grad Transfer rules. Waiting to hear what proposals are being discussed.

They'll try to prepare for everything that could happen.
Ex- Future OOC matchups are not just to try and "expand the brand", but also the likelyhood that there will be playoff expansion.

Tyler owns the Slam Sedan. I just drive it sometimes when my bike has a flat.

Grad Transfers are helping most, but hurting some. Stanford has around a dozen or so looking to leave.

I wish they'd also adjust it for early NFL departures. As it is right now, this 25 cap rule hurts teams that lose lots of juniors to the draft.

---

I agree. Something similar to signing FA's/losing FA's determining how many comp-picks team's get in the NFL.

Everyone has the 25 limit. But if you have a junior that goes into the draft, a graduate that transfers away, or simply an underclassmen that transfers away, you get a +1 for every one that does. And if you bring in a graduate transfer or really anyone transfers in from another school, you get a -1.

And, of course, the 85 scholly cap could also cause a hard limit too. But logically the numbers should end up relative.

If we had something like this in place, we'd be able to bring in something like 30 new recruits. 25 - 2 (Newman & McKitty) + 7 (Fromm, Thomas, Wilson, Swift, Kindley, Mays, Reese).

This would also allow us to not have to count transfers against future classes, just as offsets to the class they are entering.

This would make loads more sense than what they are currently doing.

Right now, there's a flaw built in to the process. A team could bring in 25 new recruits each year, but if they lose enough juniors and seniors, along with outgoing transfers, they could effectively never reach their 85 scholarship cap without handing out scholly's to PWO's.

And that doesn't seem right. It's enabling potentially forced non-parity and disadvantages to schools who coach up kids who are good enough to leave early.

Taking 100 every 4 years and maintaining 85 with attrition is very tough.
