Thought this kid would have committed already. Wasn’t he at like every home game

Mario must bang his head on his desk regularly. It just has to be so frustrating to put all this work in on a local kid only to have them fall in love with UGA instantly.

I'm sure the 8 million dollars+incentives he is paid annually helps him cope.

He’s a 5 star player. None of them should be committing early to make sure they get the most money by visiting schools and driving up the NIL,

I don’t disagree with anything you just said. It’s true. It also just feels kinda gross.

Man these are the battles we need to go like 70% on. Can’t let these dues go to the SEC

MUST GET HE WAS ALREADY COMMITTED TO UGA.

SEEN HIM IN PERSON HE COULD PLAY HERE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL

Priority #1 for 2026 in my opinion. You start getting these recruits to want to stay home and then you really start cooking

Cooper, J Rock, Calvin Russell, J. Brady. Gotta land those 4 by any means necessary

I thinks it’s pretty evident to land really elite players you have to win and I mean win big.

Or win SOME and pay BIG

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

Seems obvious at this point, but we need to land elite guys early. Give me Russell, Cooper and Pepe early and the sky's the limit for the 2026 class.
