Perhaps you'd like to purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.

Someone made reference that had we signed his other cousins it would have made a difference. So my question is why would it not for UGA?

We already have Warrior. Now, if Warrior had gone to GA then yeah maybe signing the other cousin would help, but this wasn't a necessary move. Whether we did, or did not, sign Reed was going to have little to no impact on his decision.
 
In his defense I'm pretty sure it was actually GFW that said it.

GFW may have said it too, but I had a back and forth with D4H about it, and those were his exact words. I don't care enough to search for it, and I couldn't even tell you where to start looking, but he said it. I'm confident in that.

If we had gotten him, it would have been game, set, match. Now that UGA landed him, it gives them a small glimmer of hope, not matter how significant.

In other words, it will take more than a cousin signing with them to make up the ground Tennessee has had in this recruitment. Reed helps UGA's cause, but isn't the clincher it would have been for Tennessee.
 
When it comes to recruits that TN is pursuing heavily, always believe the words coming from Hubbs and PFort. They always keep it very real, and have a great pulse on things. If Reed going to Georgia was a game changer, then they would have started changing their tune some, in order to start preparing Vol fans to lose Gibbs to UGA.

It's been 3.5 years since the one who tried to destroy our program was fired...get over the battered fan syndrome! Butch Jones, Bob Welton, and the staff have proven to be elite in talent evaluation and elite with relationships and recruiting. Only one more piece of the puzzle left...that falls into place this season. Stop worrying about recruiting! Butch has this!

With the boom news from OV, I'm just going to bump this and say 2 words:

BUTCH JONES

I think people are reading way too much into this "which cousin would Gibbs rather play with" ordeal. I highly doubt this is going to be that big of a factor in his final decision, and if it has any bearing at all, I think it is safe to say he would rather play with the 4*/5* talent Warrior has then the Tulsa transfer who was probably only allowed to come to Georgia in hopes of swinging their chances with Gibbs.

I think Reed is a solid player and with clay being booted that Georgia thought why not. May help get Gibbs but Reed has potential. I think Reed was coming to UT but saw more opportunity at Georgia especially if he knows Gibbs is leaning Vol and Warrior is already here and have not even mentioned the depth in the backend we have now. Heck, we have a WR that many still think has NFL safety potential. Depth chart opportunity for now looks better for a kid at Georgia. Gotta love what Adullah the Butcher has done with this roster.

Higgin commits to Clemson, decommits and signs with Tennessee

Butch beats the 5 foot 7 inch Saban and sends him to the unemployment line

Dooley back to UT to VOLuntarily give us back all of his buyout money.

If I can hit the mega MIllions lottery tonight, I'm down with it.
