16' GA ATH/DB Mecole Hardman

Should we view this as the nail in the coffin for our chances OV?

I think this pretty much sums it up...

Playing defense at UGA this was his last visit to UT

Yep

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Yep

OV, did our lack of using our playmakers Saturday night affect his decision? I might be reading too much into your comments, but you sound a little ticked off.

 

[head1]

Yep

Welp time to move on it sounds like. Butch flipped Richmond, so it isn't over til it's over, but doesn't sound like we should get our hopes up.

Bring on Warrior and Gibbs!

 

[cncchris33]

Yep

Thanks OV. Hate to hear that, but I understand the draw of UGA to instate kids this year. They have prioritized them much more than in the past it seems, and it is likely to pay off. It was always going to be tough to pull top GA kids like him that we have no prior connections to, but we did ourselves no favors Saturday. Best of luck to Mecole except when he plays the Vols.

Damn. Figures. He's going to be the next VH3.

We're going to have to beat someone with a pulse before these top 10 athletes, especially out of state, really consider us. I'm sure other coaches are saying, "Butch is 3 years into this with two top 5 classes and he still can't beat anyone".

Exactly

Win or lose Mecole was never coming here.

 

[Dust10]

He must really love UGA to go there and play defense when the comparisons between his game and Antonio Brown's are pretty strong.

Kid was never coming here but Saturday did not hurt us. The atmosphere was fantastic and it was a very good competitive game. Kids don't just look at wins and losses these days because there's so much more to it than that. We will be ok and I see so much improvement with the talent we are putting on the field. Hopefully we can improve and have a nice season.

Well, there goes the whole 'shock the world' thing.

Unless he meant giving up his otherworldly offensive playmaking skills to play defence at GA.

 

[itouchedthe_bUTch]

next.

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

I still think he's coming here

And he will probably be at UGA on 2 of the next 3 weekends after being there opening weekend. No chance he goes to the west coast.

Orange Venom, I bumped this post to see if you saw It and could answer it.

Yep and we get to play him for about 3 years. Wont that be a peach!

Keep dreaming

No he just said we played conservative

Ouch! Sure sounds like it didn't help.

 

[Nashvegas31]

We did but he must not pay attention to Georgia then

 

[BigOrangeVols]

That was a terrible game for him to attend. He sees how much we use WR's.

I don't think he cares what UGA offense looks like, sense they've apparently sold him on being a DB.
