FOOTBALL IS OVER . . . .

Buc wrote: Always looking around for anything that I think might be a plus for UGA. The article below was a read that I thought worth posting on this board. Not many from the AJC, but this particular article got my attention in some areas.

I pulled this particular paragraph from the article, and this is my thought, (singular) on reading the content. If this does not point out the mistakes of OUR PAST, do not know what does. Maybe you agree, or not. Thoughts on this could be interesting. Not just the paragraph in bold, much more I think. How did this turn out for UGA, looking at the OVERALL?

And that’s the reason why conspiracy theorists suggest that UGA may try to get involved with Autry – if the Bulldogs feel they have to match Florida’s overtures to stay in Carter’s good graces. “Package deals” are common to get an elite recruit, and UGA has had some success with them in recent years, including John and Nathan Theus, Quintavious “Cootie” Harrow and Isaiah Crowell, Nick Marshall and Lonnie Outlaw, and Alex and Zander Ogletree.

Opinions? Remember our thoughts, mine and yours when we first committed to the above group. I do.

My tought is if you have the scholarships left(which we usually do)and they are a decent prospect I have no problem taking a chance on them. Let's face it not all five star can preform at the next level and some three stars really shine. My biggest fear is when you start catering to a recruit it's easy for them to get the BMOC attitude.

Good point on the scholarhsips DAWGtm. We have also gone through that recently. Someone needs to get a foot hold.

Jones in Tennessee caught on a bit quicker than Dooley, while he was there and richt a short time back in Athens.

I have NO problem with offering package deals. First, many of the 4 stars we recruit don't work out so why worry about a 3 star? Sometimes they work a little harder (Pollack).

Besdies, if a Lorenz Carter ends up being All-SEC, and the "package deal" guy only ends up being a solid ST players and a player who can give you 8 snaps a game, that is a Win situation.

Many have mentioned Richard Sherman in this thread. He was a 3rd Round Pick. He was coached up. Give me a 3 star with a chip on his shoulder and coach who can "teach", and I'll give you a David Pollack.

Shannon, we are definitely thinking about some of the same things, not in total agreement if I read your post like I think I do.

I would like for Lorenzo Carter to show his wares in Athens. If not, don't have a problem with that. He has to make the best decision for himself. Time for the folks in Athens that run the program to understand that *****'s don't mean all that. It comes down to whether or not, ready for this . . . . we have *****'s for coaches. I damn sure said that.

Glad you posted what you did Shannon, gave this old fart an opening to discuss "openly" the values of should we or should we not. Let's go Brother, might be on the same page . . . . ?

For me it is as simple as do you want to play here at Georgia?

KM and TG as well as others said yes wearing the "G" means something

Foget the Stars if you are recruited and offered means there are people that believe you have talent That with effort and work on your part you can play college ball

Raising to a starter and excelling that is up to how much you want it cause it just isn't going to be handed to you

Been said here by several self included seen all the NSD stuns to last me the next 20 years

Go Dawgs

Thank you for the thank you yankeedawg1.

I do belive that most of us are on the same page.

Maybe some differences, but as was said by Wartdawg, that is what this board and other blogs are here for.

Hard to get everyone on the same page, but that is not where the effort is. Blogs are for all of us to say what we want to say.

When I see a post that has . . . . JMHO or JMO, it makes me read "carefully". Opinions mean a lot, and all of us have to be careful not to step on toes.
