I just have a feeling we will get Oku.

I know what you mean. I had that feeling for a while to, but for some reason when he added Nebraska to his list i lost hope on him, not saying i think he will go to Nebraska but i just dont think we get him for some reason.

So let's say Oku, Charles, and Geathers all sign...where does that put us in Rivals rankings?

And does signing a lineman and TE that has said he cares as much about blocking as pass catching make this class a true success...not just from a ranking standpoint but from a needs standpoint?

I don't think he'll end up at Georgia. I've questioned why, if it was already a foregone conclusion, then why isn't he already committed to them?

He was only teammates with Aaron Murray for one year at Plant H.S.

I've also seen him say multiple times, that he'll pick a school that's right for him and that Aaron picked a school that was a good fit for him.

I really think people have put too much stock into that relationship. He could still be a pup when it's all said and done, but I think people overestimated the connection between those two.

Apparenly, he's also worried UGA's not innovative enough to use him as a hybrid player---a TE/WR that is lined up across the field to create mismaches.

That's the first I've heard, that he wanted to do both. I remember his earlier comments about taking pride in blocking and Warren moving from TE to WR would allow him to fill an immediate need if he put in the work.

Welcome to AJC! | ajc.com

He hasn't crossed out Florida yet, but we all know that offense is for running plays and YAC for small, speedy WR's.

I don't think he's sold on UGA and he's not a great fit for UF's system.

I think it's USC/UT for this one. They make the most sense in several ways. He did recently mention, that he wanted to major in constructional engineering. I have no idea if he'd keep that major after he started school and I have no idea where UT ranks in that department.

he's going to USC on 2/20 and is expected to announce shortly after that (his 5th & final visit).

you can access that info for free at Rivals/Scout, you don't need an account to view player or school visit lists.

“I was a little concerned,” said Charles. UGA has already signed Arthur Lynch of Dartmouth, Mass., who is considered a “traditional” tight end.
“I was kind of hearing that Georgia was telling Arthur the same things that they were telling me … and I called Coach Richt because I wanted to hear what he had to say.”
“Coach Richt said that Arthur and me are two different type of players. He said Arthur is more of a ‘complete’ tight end, while I’m more like a ‘hybrid’ guy. [Richt] cleared up all the confusion, and I appreciated it.”

What else did Richt have to say? “He said they still wanted me and they were waiting patiently for me to make my decision. He said that he had my jersey [No. 7] waiting on me, stuff like that.” The No. 7 at Georgia was previously worn by NFL-bound quarterback Matthew Stafford.

I'm doubting he goes to UGA more and more every day. He really doesn't sound excited about them and I can't understand why he wouldn't have signed already if he was going there.

USC is the one that worries me. Im hoping that distance plays a role in his decision.

At first I thought you were a Bama fan, but after reading some or your post it seems you are a UT fan. So I have to ask, why do you have Bear Bryant as your name and avatar? I am confused.

I have been a Tennessee fan since I was about 9. I was born and raised in Michigan but always have loved Tennessee. I picked the Bear Bryant name because on govolextra there are always these idiot troll who have UT names and are really bama or gator fans so I decided to put up Bama stuff and really be a Tennessee fan I really dont know why. Thought it would be a change of pace.

"I do know he was not really a tight end much for Plant and was more of a receiver--they run a lot of four and five wide sets," said Barry Every, a national recruiting analyst for Rivals.com, who placed the phone call to Charles to invite him to the U.S. Army All-American game that took place in January. "I knew all along that he wanted to play tight end in college."

Yeah but that's because they're a Bama or UF fan and they're on a UT board...

You're a UT fan on a UT board...there's no need for disguise

Supposedly a MOD on Dawgvent just said Charles wasn't interested at all in UT...?

How does that even make sense? He gives us a visit, talks to the UT coaches, and says we are one of his finalists but not even interested?

He would be a massive threat, I almsot want Charles more then the fickle BB. Just imagine how defenses will have to play him while lined up at TE assuming he can block. Plus you could spread him around. He would really keep defenses honest.

We have a better chance against USC, as funny as that sounds. IMO, If this is true, we are in better shape than before.
