A positive for sure is Dyshon Sims, Lowndes County. Same can be said about Isaiah Wynn, St. Petersburg (Lakewood High School). Isaiah is a bad boy. Don't know a lot about Jake Edwards, keep thinking that someone on this board might have some information on Jake. I will at some point go looking for more on Jake Edwards, a need to know.
Very happy that Brandon Kublanow kept his word and moved to Athens. Talent unlimited.
Other than Dyshon Sims being an absolute monster at left tackle, it gave us a serious inroad to the talent in the Valdosta area. We had just came away with JHC from Lowndes, looked to be a giant step. Cannot speak at this point to whether the FSU season showing will close that door. Cannot blame the young men wanting to play for a winner. Indirect shot, trying to be nice.
South Georgia folks have always liked the short distance to Tallahassee. Bobby Bowden moved on, Jimbo had to dig his heels in and become the head coach that Nick Saban knew he could be. Matter of fact Jimbo got a little help from Nick, sending him a defensive coach. Seems that worked out. One thing can be counted on . . . . if Jimbo Fisher asks Nick Saban for anything that will help him win against Auburn . . . . done deal.
ogredawg and I have always (or most of the time) been on the same page about offensive and defensive lines. Offensive lines especially. We have scholarships yet to be offered, from what I can see and hope for . . . . find more Dyshon Sims and Isaiah Wynn's.
Allow me this. I have seen it said on this board several times. To hell with these 5 star folks, find me a 2 or 3 star young man that "wants" to play football and then we will start to do some things "differently" around Athens. Too many times we get caught up in the media hype about a 4 or 5 star player in my opinion, when there are some "down in the dirt" young men that will work for their keep. I said that, and have heard it from DAWGtm, ogredawg and others.
If FSU wins the National Championship, bad news for Muschamp and Florida, Jeremy Foley understands that. FSU will be hard to handle on the recruiting trail. Florida's worst nightmare is FSU winning out.
Saw where some rate us in the top 25. A far reach from where this season began. Munson used to tell us to "hunker down". That time has come.
Faton Bauta can put a smile on our faces, but he can't do that without a good offensive line. Auburn runs basically a handful of plays off of some straight dive sets. Just saying . . . .
