Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Oregon is going to kick?

Rumors are that Toby Johnson, 4 star DT out of JUCO college in Kansas, is the mystery guy that may or may not be coming to UGA in a surprise.

We're pretty much done for the day outside of 2 guys. Waiting for Eddie V (longshot) and Nico Falah (feel good about getting him).

aTm flipped one of our DE commits at the last second, wonder how much they paid him.

Rob Beard was Oregon's kicker in 2010 when they went to the MNC and he was pretty damn good that year.

For some reason, the past 2 years he had an undisclosed injury and struggled to get on the field ahead of Moldy Nachos (the guy that blew the kicks against USC/Stanford and generally sucked all the time, always).


Big deal for Oregon fans, really.

I have doubts that the best team in his home state and one of the hottest teams in the country had to pay anything to flip him. College Station is like 3 hours away for him. Not exactly Ole Miss taking a 5-star from Illinois.

At least Auburn has some recent skins. Undefeated season under Tuberville and a legit MNC in the last decade. What is Ole Miss selling?

Hot girls, party school atmosphere, playing time, ess-eee-see, fun up-tempo system, beautiful campus and town, rising program, Blind Side, etc.

If Robinson and Vanderdoes both sign with Alabama, literally half of the signing class will be in the ESPN Top 100 (13 of 26).

That said, I'm only confident that Robinson signs, and we take 25 and call it a day.

They wouldn't talk about that, they're too busy pumping up Ole Miss's #5 class as the best class in history.


Kamara: I feel like I can be more productive at Alabama (than at Georgia).

Even with the glut of RB's...

Maybe, if they use him as a slot receiver he may see the field more than he would as our 3rd string RB. As it is, we're stacked at receiver and he would only see the field as that in a couple downs a game. Water under the bridge at this point, I'm happy with Turman and that other kid we got from GT may be a surprise.

I know, it's strange to see them up there.

Can't wait to see team rankings based on positions, cause I already know Alabama has "Best RB Class" locked up.


:lol, ESPN, just because of Kamara, bumps Alabama from #3, behind Florida and OSU, to #1. Alabama, Florida, OSU.

Spurrier on recruiting rankings just now: "You never know what you've got until you play it out. In 2008, Florida had the #1 class... two years later, that #1 class drove Urban Meyer to retirement."

he originally decommitted from Texas because his family was from Seattle and he wanted to be closer to them.

Think we might actually now be at 26, with 1 back-counter, making it 25.

Took a second, strange looking elephant, but still, to have an elephant mascot bring out your hat :lol

I'm seeing 7 EE (plus walk-ons Jai Miller and Luke Del Rio), plus the 18 from today. Vanderdoes would make 26, right? .. if he wasn't signing with ND like he will.

Maybe you're right. Still means one of those EE are back counting (I know we're supposed to have 1 spot), meaning I think we have room for 1 more, leading up to either Eddie V. signing, or the scholarship going to either Bozeman or this mystery punter.

I'm also aware of this. He still spent the last two seasons living in Texas.

Maybe the misunderstanding here is over my use of "home state" but I never meant to imply he has no ties to Washington; I'm just saying that a team with a freshman Heisman winner in the SEC with a top 10 finish who beat Alabama this past season doesn't exactly need to open up the wallet for a guy that lives three hours away and who has been looking around at other schools in the area for a while now.
