'15 GA CB Darius Slayton (UGA commit)

[OGbabyaviVol]

This is the guy UGA really wanted there weren't to concerned with Abernathy but willing to take Abernathy to get Slayton

OV, did they take him as a WR or DB?

Good question. Since we took Abernathy as a CB, I figured he would be a CB at UGA as well. If they liked Slayton better, I assumed CB. I do think both could be very good on either offense or defense.

Carvell of the AJC says WR:

UGA now has 25 commitments for 2015, including at least four other prospects who are projected to play wide receiver for the Bulldogs. Wide receiver is arguably the team’s biggest recruiting need after players from the last three recruiting classes have made little or no impact at the position.

Slayton’s commitment makes up for UGA’s loss of Griffin High School wide receiver Christian Owens a few weeks ago.

They recruited him as WR, at least according to the kid himself LOL

Thanks! Might affect Van.

Thanks! Might affect Van.

I'd rather take someone else with that spot......

It could.

OV's comment just confused me. Unless UGA was recruiting Abernathy as a WR as well, did not see how one would affect the other.

Different position or just different player?

I think he meant they were willing to take a package deal (Abernathy at CB, Slayton at WR) if they had to in order to secure Slayton.

Personally, they are idiots if they were not high on Abernathy. Protypical big corner that is all the rage right now.

Both

Slayton and Abernathy are friends. UGA was trying for the package deal there.

Couple friends on uga board saying Pruitt pushed hard for Abernathy. They wanted both in defense backfield. He was a want not just a tske. This was from uga guys. They were disappointed when they did not get him. Just passing along whst I was told. Also seversl said Abernathy was higher up the board.

Can always count on u glich

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Also worth noting they uga friends feel he is our answer to our problems covering the slot which has killed our defense in nickel.

 

[DaddyChad]

UGA staff is telling Slayton, he will be at WR. That could be very interesting with Van Jefferson.

Decommitted from Georgia and committed to Auburn per his Twitter.

And so it begins.

 

[TriCitiesVol]

Nice get for AU.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Barn gonna close strong.

 

[rallen]

Always do, it seems.

 

[white65]

IDk how many AU can take be they already have 21 and are in on alot of top prospects. They could have the #1. Class

 

[JohnMcA60]

AU may be top 5 if they land Ivey, Cowart, Slayton, Holland etc

 

[RiseToTheTop]

AU may be top 5 if they land Ivey, Cowart, Slayton, Holland etc

Rather AU get those guys than UF and UGA

Auburn seems to stop at nothing to compete with Bama. And vice versa. Those programs hate each other, but I think they owe a lot of their success to that rivalry.
