Florida -- Georgia Food For Thought

Beginning to look like 3 deep on the defensive line.

yd1, agree with this comment you made . . . .Buc, One could make the case if it was not a pair of red panties we would be looking at a mess much like UT and others

It is strange how fate works. Chris Wilson has been quiet from a fan standpoint, but apparently carries a big stick. Many of these young men that are choosing UGA know they face serious competition. That however is the way solid depth is built. Appears we are getting there. Still excited about all of the commits this time around.

Still of the opinion that McGarity's sit down with Richt brought about many changes. Have not seen, read or heard where McGarity or Richt made an effort to retain Garner.

Chris Wilson has been more successful in his short time on board than I truthfully expected. Some coaches have that gift of relating, apparently CW was blessed.

One prediction here . . . . believe that Isaiah Wynn will be the next great Center at Georgia.

I can remember all the long faces when some of are 2013 recruits did not follow thru and jumped to Ole Miss and others.

That was before CCW arrived. Like CFW another solid hire who knows the SEC recruiting wars. Good on you CCW will have a new bunch of big ugly lineman heading to Athens Go Dawgs

Going through some of the commits this morning. This young man is rated 3 stars by the talking heads . . . . I will take a basket full please. This young man has more than 3 stars if ever I have been capable of judging talent. Realize that this video has been shown on this board before, however it never hurts to take another look. Shakenneth Williams is a football player. Know that I am repeating myself, fun to watch Shakenneth play.



Edit: Could not resist posting this. Not often do I forward something that Muschamp has had to say. Pulled this from the link below. Urban Meyer is truly a "snake hiding in the grass".

Muschamp: “We appreciate our friends from Ohio making sure we follow NCAA rules. They certainly know something about NCAA rules.”

No place like home, yes Buc has been rubbing the crystal ball and has wished a load to top recruits heading to Athens...LOve It

Go Dawgs

I love to hear this kind of talk from the SC---Armstrong:


Gurley, Murray stand out

When Armstrong talks about players buying into the program Georgia's strength staff has installed, two of the team's biggest stars appear to have adapted the most - Todd Gurley and Aaron Murray.

"In Todd I see an explosive athlete that has so much room to grow but I also see a humble athlete, an athlete that's willing to put in the work to meet the goals that he has set. It doesn't just show up in the weight room, it shows in our conditioning," Armstrong said. "He's definitely a leader; he's more vocal than he was last year coming in but vocal in a good way, he's challenging guys and really challenging himself because I'm sure his goals are very high and in order to reach those goals or get close it's going to take a stronger Todd, a quicker Todd, a meaner Todd and a more disciplined Todd and a more focused Todd. He's been just that."

He's challenging teammates in the weight room as well.

"We'll go through an hour and a half workout and every day its core work. We do a little core with the group, but it may not be enough. He'll ask for core work and we'll have it up and he'll go and do it. There's no supervision, he's doing it but he's also grabbing guys to do it with him," Armstrong said. "He's like 'Hey, we need this, let's go to work' so he's leading by example as well."

Armstrong's certainly not shocked that Murray's doing the same.

Prior to coming to Athens, Murray and Armstrong trained together in Tampa.

"He's a workhorse and he's another guy like Todd whose goals are very high, so the expectations are high. He knows there's a lot of naysayers out there and he's got a lot of incentive to prove a lot of people wrong," Armstrong said. "After the Capital One Bowl game, the next day after we got back, he was like 'When are we working out again? Let's work tomorrow.' He's got that mentality that whatever happened before is behind him now, that was last season so let's focus on what we're going to do in 2013.

"He's done phenomenal as far as extra speed work, extra core work, whatever it is but also challenging me to the point that he may have a number in regards to where he is strength wise for whatever lift we're doing but he'll say I can go heavier. He'll do that from time to time and not a lot of athletes do that, they take what's there and that's it. They'll be like I'm feeling pretty good today, that's a good number but he'll say I think I can do heavier and I think I can do better. It's just an attack mentality and I love it."

Gurley and Murray aren't the only ones.

With three of the Bulldogs' first four games against the likes of Clemson, South Carolina and LSU, Armstrong said players are being pushed and challenged during the summer more than a season ago.

"We feel our guys have worked their tails off, even better than last year," he said. "We've pushed them harder because we've got to be ready - midseason form - for these first few games."
