Rumors....but GOOD rumors

A guy (not my informed guy) told me yesterday that AJ's family is in talks with Lloyds of London on taking out a $10MM policy because AJ wants to come back to make up for his mistakes this year (of costing us the East). Asked "my guy" about it this morning and this is what he said:


"The UGASports.com people said that AJ and his family have been speaking to Lloyd’s. I don’t think that it’s a done deal the he’s going pro, but I still don’t like our chances of him staying unless the lockout appears to be a foregone conclusion. There at least is a chance though that he comes back."


I also asked him about IC because I heard it was a done deal that he's coming to UGA but just wants to wait to announce......here's his comments on that as well (believe my guy is hedging too much, he SHOULD know!!! ).


"They also stated that it appears that we lead for IC, but they also said that it is a long way from being over. His team lost this past weekend, and he is now saying that he won’t announce until signing day. Alabama is on him hard, and they are not giving up. UGA is firing all the guns though to bring him in. He’s probably the recruit UGA has put the most effort into signing since Richt has been there."



Could you imagine having AJ and IC on the same field with AM? How does 50 a game sound? Believe CTG could hold opponents under that for sure.

wlayton, think I mentioned to you last week that I have seen stranger things happen in my lifetime. Believe the discussion was Houston and AJ. . . .

This would be a beautiful thing.

Wouldn't it though!!!!!

Houston will go imo (rated top rush DE in the draft) but WILL be holding my breath on AJ and IC. Be happy to help with his premium payments (hey as long as AJ "doesn't know"......right?).

Keep that up and I will start calling you kentdaddy. . . .

Count me in on the payments, I won't tell the NCAA.

Also, Richt is saying that he is approaching UCF in the proper manner. This is not Spring Football, this is win the bowl game. Allow me this. My daughter is a graduate of UCF, she is also a tremendous UGA fan, going to be a strange bowl game for us.

UCF will come after us for sure. They play good, sound football. They cannot in my opinion hang with UGA for a couple of reasons. AM, AJ, OC and others will kill UCF's secondary. They do not have the depth that we have on defense. They are very intense, just lack a couple more good recruiting classes to get over the hump. Our running backs will love this game.

Not sure what it is, guessing on my part, however think that Richt and company already know that AJ is returning. With our record this year, changes and impending changes, Richt is just too smiley about next year. He knows. What a Christmas gift that would be not only to Richt and the team, it would delight many thousands of UGA fans.

Buc........from your mouth to God's ears!!! Hope you are right, THAT would make my "offseason"

If AJ comes back, there is your next Dawg Heisman winner right there.
