He was their highest rated recruit by far and in the top 100 FWIW

I assume it’s because they do actually love football and coaching.
I blame Tennessee. Feels like nobody was pimping home runs and taunting this much til they got good and started hot dogging all the time a few years ago. Now we do it more than is probably necessary.
I really thought it’d be us or Texas. There’s still time especially if USC sucks this year.
According to Brooks Austin this had a lot to do with the legal case involving NIL right now. Basically Miami front-loaded his contract or downpayment if you will because the Deloit (spelling?) settlement will drastically change NIL payments. Basically Georgia was willing to pay him the same as Miami or Oregon or whoever in years 2 and 3 but wasn’t going to make a huge (5 mil reportedly) first year payment.
I think he’s chosen not to but also can’t “adjust”. We don’t have the money some schools have but Kirby also knows paying freshmen upfront can divide a locker room (Texas A&M). We lost this one. It sucks. But on the whole I’m confident this class will be a great class just like all the others.

And as someone who drives downtown more than I ever preferred, frick em all
Number 1 OL Jackson Cantwell
Number 1 linebacker Tyler Atkinson
Number 1 TE mark Bowman
Curtis is the better prospect regardless. Bigger. Better arm. Just as athletic. Bentley may become a great player. Curtis may not. But that won’t mean we chose the wrong guy. Curtis is the industry wide consensus best QB. You take that every time you can.
That’s fair however everyone knew coming in Brock was going to have to totally redo his throwing motion. Not the case with Curtis. There’s plenty of guys who play small schools in high school. Some work. Some don’t.
He commits on the 15th. A lot of the talking heads think he’s much more of a RT if not actually a guard so idk if he’s worth the cash.

As far as Curtis, I just don’t see him coming here. Hope I’m wrong. Nobody has hardly seen any film on him but every single person that has seen him throw in person swears his arm is generational. Coaches and seasoned insiders included.
On the OSU thing, I agree Ransom tripped but if, for example, Dillon Bell was the receiver going at him, he might not have tripped because Bell is an average speed receiver. I think he realized it was that number 11 the coaches told him to watch out for screaming at him and he tripped because he knew if he didn’t turn and run perfectly (or maybe even if he did) that Arian would run right by him.
Jalen is 6’1”. Micah is 6’3” Nolan 6’2”. Both Micah and Nolan are 4.39 40 guys. If Jalon had run it he’s probably a 4.65 on his best day. Like I said. Great athlete but Nolan and Micah are elite athletes. Also Micah plays a better traditional backer than Jalon as well.
I know I’m in the minority but I kinda don’t like this. The organization now gets to say “Yall can shut up now we drafted a Georgia guy high” but they drafted one of our least “sure thing” players in recent memory. I LOVE JW but he’s not a sure thing at all. He’s got all the mental aspects. Character. Toughness. Drive. Etc. but the NFL is a size based league. If you’re going to be undersized and excel you have to be a freak athlete. JW is a great athlete but not a freak. I really hope it works out and he’s a perennial all-pro but this is risky.

That all sounds right. I wonder if Gabe will play more 5 tech like he did last year when Mykel was hurt. That way we get him and Modozie on the field together with Q rotating in since I’m pretty sure Chris Cole is going to do a lot of the Jalen Walker pass rush role as well. Either way. We got better. At a bare minimum we needed more depth.

As far as RB goes I’m very excited about McCray. From his highlights he looks like what I hope Rod Rob can eventually be when fully healthy. Hard to tackle. Big. But he also seems to have good hands as well.

Horton I assume will be more depth this year and look to take on a bigger role as he develops.

It’s apparently between us and Ohio state for Beau Atkinson. 6’6” 265 edge from UNC who had 7 sacks last year. Would be good to have a plug and play guy as I think Gabe Harris is more of an OLB jack and so we don’t have an obvious direct replacement for Mykel at 5 technique.
Agreed. Kirby will always try to handle things as quietly as possible. If you roast a kid publicly and embarrass him you may send a “zero tolerance” message to the team but kids these days will also take that as coach not having their back.
Report came out that Tuggle was doing 107 on the loop where the limit was 65. I can look past 20-25 because most everyone speeds a bit and sometimes overdoes it. But 42!? Insane. He should be gone. As Daniel Harris should have been during the season last year for doing 106.
If it’s a money thing I’m sure the vast majority of fans wouldn’t mind paying a $5-$10 ticket fee to go.

I mean sure the 60K or maybe even 93K that go will be happy but with it not being broadcast or shown in any way, you leave 99% of the fanbase irritated that they couldn’t see it.
I kinda get not televising for transfer portal reasons etc but why not have some team crew film it with Scott Howard doing play by play and release it for the fans after the spring portal closes? Win win. No portal advertisements and fans still get to see the game just later.
