'24 VA LB Chris Cole (uga commit)

[bigl3327]

Carter, Telander, Cole, Spillman as a LB room in a few years. Yes pls

Jalen Smith and Jordan Burns aren't exactly slouches either.

Jalen Smith and Jordan Burns aren't exactly slouches either.

...but if we leave those guys out, then some posters will feel emboldened to continue to complain about a lack of quality depth.

Knew I was forgetting someone. Jalen feels like the kind of guy we all sleep on for a few years and look up in 2025 and he’s our best LB. Tons of talent there.

Their mothers have a lack of quality depth.

(The people who complain, not the LBers)

Jalen Smith had a better HS career than Owen Pappoe and played the same position at the same school. Highly underrated

Was a dang steal

 

[thunder5]

not just him but both families talk regularly, theyre very close.

It’s just hard for me to see him not picking us in the end…I know, I know…UGA blah blah blah…two time champs blah blah blah…but outside of that everything about this recruitment points to us IMO

Not necessarily something I've heard but I think ultimately in his career, they will find ways to use Kalib Perry. In the meantime, he should continue to make plays on special teams where he was great

Come on Chris put the icing on the cake.......... You will never know what love is until you become a VOL

Keep hearing Kalib’s name from the coaches and anytime I listen to VQ pod. He could be the Beasley of this season - maybe not the same impact, but someone who gets slept on and has a real role in the defense and makes some big plays this season.

He will at the very least be very valuable to us next year with him and Elijah being the only upperclassmen at ILB

Unless Pak Garland can come back and contribute

It’s been a long time since we have had a LB room like this. As a matter of fact, probably since Fulmer maybe.

I think Perry will contribute in a big way next year on defense. He needed to learn to play linebacker. He was really more of a safety in high school, so he's still learning the position. He also added a lot of bulk to his frame this off season. The kid is one helluva athlete and really smart. He may have a trajectory similar to Aaron Beasley but in a much larger body. I'm not saying he'll be a starter, but can definitely see him in the two deep next fall making big plays for us and stepping up if there's an injury.

agreed

 

[JCVol00]

This place may go nuclear if Cole pushes back his commitment since it is the day after his ov here

 

[VolForLife83]

How many recruits can Ga take this year?

 

[NighthawkVol]

How many recruits can Ga take this year?

Everyone can take as many as they want. There is no 25 number. Only the 85 total.

I think that was implied with the this year qualifier

I liked the way both of the Fr LBs looked last year when they got to play. They may have not known what they were supposed to do... but they attacked with bad intentions.

Agree 100%. Perry and Pearce specifically were monsters on special teams.

It’s been more than implied. It’s been stated over and over and over…
