Coaching, Recruiting Thoughts

Ogre, from JHC lips, not mine:

"The most impressive coach is Coach Bobo though. He is just a really cool guy to talk to and knows his stuff."

Don't doubt CTG had a lot to do with it especially considering that he will be on that side of the ball, but just believing what the kid says.

You can find the article on Rivals.com. Look up JHC. Beleive the article was toward the middle of January.

Bobo does deserve some credit when Grandpa was wavering and talked to JH-C to go with his heart and where he would be the most happy. I know for a fact that CTG personally recruited this young man and that is why he is a Dawg today. Most of the wavering was done to get some more press. Grandpa actually signed the LOI that afternoon not late that night or the next day.

ogredawg, know that you still have several folks that are assoicated with the high school that you played football for. Thinking that your son does too, can't speak factually to that.

Saw your quote above and it rang a bell in this old head. Remembered an article somewhere that I had read, so spent a little time and did find one of the things that I was looking for. Will find the other two at some point . . .

The below comes from an article printed February 1, 2012, AJC, Chip Towers. Still searching Rivals have not secured that part yet, will continue to look.

Words from Josh Harvey-Clemons lips also:

“I knew when I went there that’s where I wanted to go,” said Harvey-Clemons, who visited UGA on January 13. “It just felt like home and they want to win there.”

Harvey-Clemons said his family liked head coach Mark Richt but that it was his dealings with defensive coordinator Todd Grantham that solidified his decision.

“I would say I had a strong relationship with Coach Grantham,” Harvey-Clemons said. “He’s put a lot of players in the NFL and I wanted to play for him.”

Glad the pipeline appears to be opening ogredawg. I too believe what JHC says

They say in AL. paper BVG is going to try and get willie as CB coach at ALBURN.That will be good.

I got no worries Buc. Rivals named CTG as one of the top recruiters in CFB. Wonder why.

Harvey-Clemons feels that he has made plenty of relationships throughout the process.

"I'm probably closest with Coach Dugans at Louisville, but I have a good relationship with Coach Hudson at Florida State and Coach White at Florida," he said. "With the Head Coaches, I know Coach Muschamp the best and he has come to church with me a couple of times. The most impressive coach is Coach Bobo though. He is just a really cool guy to talk to and knows his stuff."

Article is titled : What will JHC do?

Never argued CTG wasn't one heckuva recruiter, he is. Think that has more to do with Jordan and Josh though. Bobo had a lot more to do with JHC coming to UGA than just calling up the grandpa on signing day. JHC's early interviews all site his strong relationship with Bobo.
