'14 GA S Cortez McDowell (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[UGA insider]

There's a reason 5/6 of those coaches were fired or left a school under poor circumstances.

There's a variety of reasons but the off the field issues were there.

Correct. I think off the field issues contributed to a few of them losing their jobs. (Obviously not the only reason)

 

[Reynvol5]

Wow!!!!!! Gb motha freakin' o baby!

 

[SeanJean]

Ok, cool. Find me the quote where I said that and you win.

And yes, no program is perfect.

3. The UT defensive coaches are the same coaches who were here at UGA when players were getting in trouble.

Do I really have to do this twice?

 

[vollygirl]

Normally I don't like being teased....

After taking one last visit to Georgia, ESPN 300 safety Cortez McDowell (Locust Grove, Ga./Locust Grove) knew where he wanted to go. So on Tuesday morning, the No. 21 prospect in Georgia made the call to his next head coach.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Just heard the awesome news!

Where is the one where I said the last 12 months don't count.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I am sure it has been said but I just have to add one more. BOOM!!:baloon::fireworks::fireworks:

"When players were getting in trouble" would suggest that players haven't been getting in trouble since Martinez et al. left Georgia. It ain't that complicated bro.

Did they make up that ranking like all their other "national championships"

University of Georgia football sucks.

“(Tennessee defensive backs) coach (Willie) Martinez and I have been together since my sophomore year when he was at*Auburn,” McDowell told InsideTennessee. “He was recruiting me then and now that he has transferred over, that bond that we have just transferred over.”

On Byron:

“He is a good guy,” McDowell told InsideTennessee of Moore. “He is a positive guy. I look up to him now since the first time that I met him. We got in contact and he became like my older brother.”

“Everything stands out about Tennessee,” he said. “Everything about them — family, they all have one purpose in playing football and that’s winning a national championship. They also focus on other things just more like being a family.”

Yes it is. I want to be in TN so bad.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Maybe it's a good thing Vonn Bell didn't come here. He might have got passed on the depth chart by these guys anyway.

In b4 we didn't want him anyway.

 

[VolFromNashville]

In b4 we didn't want him anyway.

Nobody wanted him here. What are you talking about? Greyshirt candidate at best.

No understating this, it's a HUGE commitment for a variety of reason.

One, he is one of the consensus top safeties in the nation. Two, I thought for sure McDowell would end up at Auburn. Especially with a couple of his HS coaches pushing him that way & almost committing to us then backing off to only visit Auburn a few times. Third, he just got done visiting UGA for Dawg Night & they have supposedly made a late push for him.

Randolph (rSo), McNeil (SO), Reeves-Maybin (FR), Johnson (FR), Kelly ('14), & McDowell ('14). That's one heck of a depth chart at Safety.

 

[UGA insider]

Smart and classy move by Cortez to apologize.

 

[VolFromNashville]

What was the apology?

If you were asking Jesus, Im sure his answer is yes

That is a great depth chart. I wonder if there is a LB or two in there...

 

[volmaniac5674]

Booooooooooooooooommmmmmm!!!

 

[TennMan101]

I can't help but be incredibly impressed by this staff so far. What a start. I just hope they can do the same on the field so these commits stick.

These commits are buying in to turning this program around THEMSELVES so I don't think our W/L ratio will matter.

 

[Jackcrevol]

A good UT team is good for the SEC EAST.

hopefully we'll be able to get it done with our four stars.
