Thank god Wiltfong is washed

Wiltfong

- Another I like Georgia for and could soon log a pick in favor of the Bulldogs is Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna Prep On300 running back Derrek Cooper. The On3 Industry’s No. 3 running back was recently back in Athens and I do believe UGA is also setting the tone in his process. He’s at Ohio State this week so we’ll see how that trip goes.

He changes his pick more than I change my underwear

Gaby I believe couple days ago just said he felt miami is the strongest position they ever been in regarding Cooper choosing the U

Not getting Calvin Russell too would sting

Geo too thought we were in great shape for him.

 

[LGC10]

We need this kid in our class. Whatever it takes imo

 

[Elmer Leghorn]

We better be prepared to outbid GA, OSU. Only way he comes here, imo

Cane in the end

Cane in the end

Pour it on thick like syrup
Elevator pad at the crib
Shopping bags all on the floor
Never seen em twice with a 304

It appears the recruiting strategy has changed this year for the better. But this recruitment is a big test… YOU CANNOT let this young man commit elsewhere like we did last year with big fish thinking we’re just going to flip at the end. Do what is needed on front end and play defense instead if you must

 

[cowboycane]

Pickett ruined me forever on “Cane in the end” stuff, just get the commitment and don’t worry about having to flip him from a playoff team in the SEC.

 

[millertime26]

How do y’all feel about Cooper as a prospect ? Better prospect then Fletcher and Lyle ?

Agree 1000%. Don’t let him commit anywhere else gotta land him and then hold on

Definitely better than Fletcher. Lyle is TBD imo.

Better than anyone on the roster and anyone we’ve had in 10 years as a recruit

That’s how it works I think

I like fletcher over Lyle.

 

[cway313]

I like fletcher over Lyle.

Fletcher has been a disappointment to me. He reminds me of Edwards at Miami. Not the trying to bounce everything outside part, more so the choosing not to run behind his pads. He strays away from contact too much for someone 6'2 230lbs.

Little harsh, but if Fletcher can go on and have a NFL career like Edwards that would be fantastic.

Fletcher is a good ACC RB, and will be his best this season. He is leaner, and faster, and he already is a productive good college RB.

He can run between the tackles, he can break tackles, he can pass protect, and he has really soft hands for a bigger RB.
