‘23 GA LB Jalen Smith (Tennessee commit)

[Montrell Hardy]

So with Smith and Telander in the boat, do we go for another ILB? Godfrey? Portal? Maybe just wait until the in-season evaluations?

I just don’t see it with Godfrey. Maybe I’m missing something. Much higher on both Smith and Telander. I could see another ILB but only if he’s an impact guy.

Stallings could end up at LB maybe?

Good question. That didn’t even cross my mind up until now. He’s got the size for sure.

Anything is possible but staff loves him as a bruiser at RB. And we need a bruiser.

I know it’s a bit of a pipe dream but I’d love to see Tausili Akana at off ball linebacker. Great acceleration and pursuit

Georgia is ridiculously loaded with high school talent.

I honestly think they're #1 now. Followed by Cali, Flordia, Texas.

This kid would be the best player in Tennessee this year imo
I love Caleb Herring and I'm glad he's a vol, but this kid. THIS KID looks to be the best player on Grayson's team, and they are loaded for 2024 and pretty stout this year too.

So excited about this kid. Can't believe UGA has those other LBs over him. CJ Allen is understandable but the other 2? Nah...

I think he starts as a True freshman with Elijah Herring maybe.

I remember AP or someone said Godfrey was down the board. I just couldn’t think of anyone other than him and Thunderbird that we’ve been in on since Allen and Howard committed elsewhere.

Happy Jalen Smith day, morans.

I’m not.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I’m not.

yes. he's been a Vol for a while.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Yes. My post was a statement, not a question (hence, the period at the end and not a question mark ).

Sure hope he commits, but I am just struck by the quote . Summarized

….if The dawgs wanted him, they could take him as a committ. ….Another reason to dislike UGa.

Reigning national champions have a little more wiggle room when recruiting, especially in state

Wish we could get thunderbird in this class somehow.

This dudes HUDL film is fun to watch. Him and Telander is a really good LB haul. So the thinking is we go after one more true LB?

 

[TrippieRedd]

I'd prefer to get a transfer portal guy for the last LB spot.

That would work.

That should probably light a fire under MR J Smith .

No doubt about it. Friend of mine runs some summer camps and travels to a lot of places. We were talking about a year ago and he thinks the best high school football in the country is being played in the metro of Atl. He was telling me that if GaTech could just finish second in the Atlanta area every year they would be play off contenders every year. He’s a tech guy but that’s saying a lot about the talent level in the metro.

I feel that way about corner.
