'17 GA ATH DeAngelo Gibbs

[drvenner]

The visual equivalent of this post on all the Eyeores on here.

That might be my favorite GIF, ever. I wonder where and when that happened.

 

[UTK]

Been scrolling through these pages, could someone give me the short version on how this recruitment has changed and we have lost the momentum? I haven't been visiting his page because I thought he was all Vol and there was little to worry about here. Now I see he is trending GA and visiting a ton of schools.... what gives? Sorry late to the party on this one....

Basically will be a UGA or UT choice probably close to NSD imo. I think we still lead slightly but UGA is a legit threat. They have a cousin of his as well now, so we don't have that family advantage anymore.

THANKS! So the family connection is even now...

Vols were good.

GFW noted UT was about to make a move to lock it up, details to come.

News broke a kid Named Reed transferred to UGA from Tulsa. Reed happens to be Gibbs cousin.

OV said he heard Gibbs was still UT bound.

Vol fans dance.

Article yesterday states Reed was set to be a Vol, then Gibbs introduced him to the UGA staff. He picked GA.

Vol fans wept.

To sum up, he gone.


Seriously though, last OV heard is we're good. We'll see.

Exactly. There's been mixed reports on which cousin he is closer with as well from what I remember. So we will see what happens. I would think if UGA lands Stevens, we will get Gibbs.

I wouldn't say even. Warrior will be a player for us this year. Hopefully has a really good freshman season. Reed will be sitting out this year at Georgia. Advantage - Tennessee.

Won't have to wait that long. He is an early enrollee.

How many can UT back count this year.

Yep. Tucker is a big plus here for Georgia, as he will be coaching the DBs along with being the DC.

Our DC is also known for his outstanding DBs and Martinez has done great things with them even before Shoop came on board. To say you have an advantage because your DC will also coach your DBs is laughable. The DBs at UT will have two incredible coaches. Tucker may help you but I would say we have the better coaching situation for DBs.

Mel Tucker
Georgia improves chances of landing Gibbs

His cousin, JR Reed, said Tucker gave Reed a better opportunity to succeed. Gibbs didn't say it about himself.

We've sure seem to have a lot of 4* players who didn't sniff the draft.

What 4-5* draft eligible Jr and SR did we have? North?

I'm not talking in the last couple years. I was responding to the post insinuating 4-5* guys going pro has little to do with the coaching they receive in college.

 

[chavisut]

That's a huge corner. 6'2" 200lbs

Both play safety. Nickel back. One grows into a LB.

I don't follow all this similar player, therefore won't sign at same school stuff.

Well when then? Cause up until the last couple years we've been fine come draft day.

Have we not had a lot of 4-5* guys go undrafted? Yes. Fulmer, Kiffin, Dooley. No, it's not about Butch.

Sure, as have a lot of other teams. When you see the guys from DII schools getting drafted (not 5* guys) someone is getting squeezed out. There's roughly 2600 D-1 SR every year and only 224 guys get drafted. So your point is a non-point.

Dooley also had an entire OL that played in the NFL, several WR and a QB. He didn't do half-bad for himself in regards to players making it to the next level.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

The best thing to happen here is obviously Georgia have a bad season, we have a championship season and Warrior have a great freshman year balling out. If Gibbs truly likes UT as much as OV says that should seal the deal. We must do many things this season, beating Georgia is a MUST. We need to Smart to have a disappointing first year as head coach or we will continue to have problems recruiting against him.

Gibbs said in the article that JR Reed wanted to be coached by Mel Tucker and that Georgia gave him the best opportunity to go to the NFL. It sure sounds like Tucker gave Georgia an advantage in JR's recruitment. It's just a fact of recruiting that Tucker's 10 years of NFL experience as a DC and DB coach is attractive to HS DBs. I actually believe many college and HS coaches are better than NFL coaches, but my opinion doesn't count. Of course in Tucker's case, he has coached both in college and the NFL.

It's also logical to think that Jake Reed having played 12 years in the NFL is also drawn to a coach with significant NFL experience like Tucker. I'm quite sure Jake Reed was involved in JR's decision, and you can bet that Gibbs is going to elicit guidance from Jake Reed; who Gibbs says is like a second father to him; and has been heavily involved in his training.

Not predicting Gibbs will end at Georgia; but I do think they at least have a shot. I still think Bama is a possibility, and he recently said he's going to go on some visits; which means anything can happen.

As a Bears fan, Mel Tucker blows.

Oh yeah thanks for the reminder. Also, I have no idea about recruiting numbers to be honest.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yes still feeling good haven't seen or heard anything to make me change what I said

The way things are going this year, I will believe it when I see it. The Higgins stunt really gut punched me. After MG and Fant finally got on board, I thought we were going to really finish strong. I was just starting to believe things were turning our way, now it just feels like all momentum is lost. I have a lot respect for the information you bring. It is not that I don't believe you. I just think for some crazy reason, all the elite guys we have had high confidence levels with, just will not jump on board. I think Gibbs is falling for this UGA bullcrap. And that is where he goes...SSDD.

When I really want us to sign a kid I find myself trying to explain away bad news at least in my mind. The article yesterday saying Reed to UT was done and Gibbs himself halted it by introducing Reed to the UGA staff, is something I just can't explain away. That just looks very bad for us getting DG.

Serious question, will the reed kid play at UGA? I honestly have never seen him play but I do know that UGA is a large step up from Tulsa which I think is where he came from and does that have any factor in Gibbs decision in your opinion since Nigel will most likely play a lot for us in his career?

That's silliness. Mel Tucker sucks.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

He didn't look good at the opening. I'm not sure he's that great a prospect. Might be more athlete than football player.
