Still really surprised with Cavin.

I think there are going to be some serious surprises in recruiting this year. But I'm pretty sure Coach has a handle on it. I believe a lot was going on with the Cavin situation and one I think was, he is an EE and Bama is waiting (or already have some silently committed) on higher ranked WRs and I think wanted to wait, and thought he would wait as well. So things broke down. Smart and UGA were the comfortable fit. Cavin was a take but apparently not as an EE. But only they know.

Excuse the run on sentence. Lol

Blood, I agree. It's been years since we've had so many open spots this late in the cycle. Even assuming a number of private commitments, we still have a significant -- and defining -- portion of our class to fill. The next few weeks leading up to signing day -- particularly if we take care of business Monday night -- could be a hoot.

It will be a hoot and vault us up the rankings. We will be the talk this year with our late commits/signings with a bunch of highly rated 4* and 5* players.

Silent commitments, surprise visitors, coaching changes etc. etc. .... maybe you and a few others have a broader feel for what will be taking place in the coming weeks. But for the rest of us, we haven't had this degree of uncertainty or unpredictability in years. The last few weeks should be hoppin'



Either way, we'll wind up with another #1 class. Kirby's doing a great job for UGA considering his situation. But JP is like a pied piper. Kids love him. Trust that some heavy leans to UGA are now UA leans because of him. Also, don't underestimate Lane & Tosh's pull on the west coast. Making some serious in-roads with some top notch guys out there.

There are also two more on our commit list right now that will wind up at other schools. It's expected. And contingencies are in place. Coaches from other schools yak to each other all the time. They know more than we do, and before we do that these kids are playing the game. It is what it is. But we're in a really good place right now.​


 
Don't think Cavin wanted to play in brothers shadow. Be his own man. He was a take but his SC announcement was a surprise. So we moved on. His choice. He is entitled to do what he wants but it is clear he wanted to chart his own course.

I thought he decommitted from SCar. Did he recommitt?? Good lord, I can't keep up with these kids....smh
 
I expect - I mean hope - that our low numbers to date are due to the fact that a lot of major recruits like to keep the suspense and announce on signing day. I hate to bring up Free Shoes but in their heyday they would go into signing day with less than half a class. Come signing day Bowden would be number 1 having knowledge of silent commits from a bevy of five star rated kids. We may be entering a new phase in recruiting under Saban with that same principle. Recruit the best of the best "high character" kids, take them on their word and let them play the game until signing day. It is a risky strategy but fruitful if you are recruiting good character talent.

You`re right. Kind of a nice dilemma, with preparing for a national championship game getting in the way of recruiting! Actually, you could say that a complete focus on recruiting really only can begin on January 12th in reality.
 
BOL talked to a source with Mack Wilson yesterday. The source says Mack will most likely end up at Bama. The Florida interest is real because of immediate playing time. Kirby is the sole reason for the UGA interest.

So, to sum up what we have so far, the dream list from posters on this thread is:

WR : Demetris Robertson, AJ Brown, M.Jones
TE : Devin Asiasi
DL : Terrell Hall, Jamar King, Michail Carter, Derrick Brown, Jeffrey Simmons, Johnathan Kongbo
LB : Ben Davis, Lyndell Wilson, D Jackson
DB : Shyheim Carter, Mecole Hardman Jr., Nigel Knott, Nigel Warrior
RB : Devin White
OL : Jauan Williams

Others in the mix according to BOL:

OT Tramonda Moore
ATH Jack Jones
WR Tyler Vaughns
LB Erroll Thompson
LB Jeff McColloch

Certainly, we always get a surprise recruit that comes out of left field the last two weeks. Man, looking forward to this class almost as much as the game tonight.
