Just a thought… UGA signed 19 players in December. They’ve since taken 2 scholarship transfers, taking them to 21 signees. Further, the Bulldogs also have two unsigned OL commitments who they’re hosting this weekend and desperately want to hold onto in Broderick Jones and Sedrick Van Prann. Importantly, they took […]
With the news of Jay Hardy in fact signing with Auburn during December’s early signing period, that removes any chance the Vols can land the instate DL standout. And while that’s disappointing from a talent perspective, not only does the way he handled his recruitment confirm that Coach Jeremy Pruitt […]
This coming weekend, the first out of the dead period and before the February 2020 signing day, will feature a handful of 2020 official visitors as well as a slew of 2021 prospects. Thematically, regardless of class what is clear is that this is the Weekend of the Wide Receiver […]
