'25 GA LB Jadon Perlotte (Tennessee)

[DaddyChad]

And there's the go to post.


Are you sure the coaching staff didn't back off?

I think this is a case of a kid getting a lot thrown at him everywhere he goes and not being able to deal with it. He seems to fall in love with the attn wherever he goes; better be prepared for the reality that he will be just another player when he’s signed and enrolled wherever he goes. If it’s USC that’s a long ways from home and a totally different social and economic environment.

Really buying into this kid just wanting to be chased but will stick with UGA.

USCis really the opposite of UGA. Culture of the area, culture of the school. Smart is king at UGA, Riley on the hot seat. Defense is king at UGA, optional at USC. One is set in the SEC, the other is going to be starting out in the Big 10. 12-1 at UGA was a disappointment, vs 8-5 with an Heismam winner.

Nothing in there favors USC. Kid just generating clicks.

He’ll be in the portal numerous times

Would you have said the same thing if he had committed here?

Lincoln Riley is not on the hot seat. Could change if they suck this year. But he’s not there yet

I tend to agree with your assessment. Which means if CJH could get him here last, he could change his mind again. This may not be truly over until signing day.

Not a chance.

So now he's predicted to go to USC. That kind of sucks. I think we still need another LB in this class. Doesn't have to be Perlotte. Wonder if us getting Gass effected his decision? <---puns incoming

 

[swampfoxfan]

After getting Gass combined with who we have maybe Tennessee is better off without the drama, hope the young man makes the decision that fits him best.

 

[supersmo18]

I bet this young man will be in the portal after his first year, no matter where he signs

No need to get gassed up about where a young man decides to attend college.

You can make this assumption about every player with the NIL money being thrown around..

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Don’t know about Josh, but my enthusiasm over landing him WOULD have been dampened with fear he would be upper level transfer odds prone. There is a range of that for everybody to fall in . Not all risk is the same.

Yep.

All the signs are there.

• Jadon Perlotte is still committed to Georgia. He was at USC over the weekend, but Tennessee is still involved. It is unknown at this time where Perlotte will end up. Tennessee was trending before he went out west.

I “think” we still get this one. I think the post visit high wears off. Of course it seems like we’re evaluating other players as well at this point so he may lose his spot. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him circle back to Auburn or somewhere closer regionally.

Lol

 

[benholt06]

I don’t think this sticks. But best of luck to him.

 

[chvy1986]

If he were wearing any other color, we’d be making fun of this picture lol

Can we make fun of this now?

 

[avolation]

He’ll fit in real well there.
