2024 Head to Head with the Big Boys: UGA Edition

[Rellyrell]

Added Cole. Leaving this as a B because Hayes was always #1 on our board according to various insiders. If we didn't flip Hayes, the loss of Cole could've dropped this to B- or C+

2024 Cycle

HS Grade: B
Portal Grade: TBD

Recruit	College	Comments
Chauncey Bowens	UGA	Was on campus numerous times before flipping to UGA
Daniel Calhoun	UGA	Didn't make his top 5, was able to get an UV. UGA lean the entire time.
Nyier Daniels	UGA	Never followed through on his OV
Marcus Harrison	UGA	Staff liked him, but he never visited
Colton Heinrich	UGA	Visited several times, unclear where he was on the TE board
Ellis Robinson IV	UGA	Our #1 CB target
Demello Jones	UGA	Had an UV
Jaylen Heyward	UCF UGA	Was on flip watch but something happened. Ended up at UCF
Jordan Thomas	UGA	Had an UV, unclear where he was on the board
Ny Carr	Miami UGA	Huge flip in a position of need.
Justin Scott	Miami	Visited UGA
Armondo Blount	Miami
Chris Cole	UGA	Rohan's nephew was set to become a Cane until UGA had a spot.

I wouldn’t add Scott here; the real battle for Scott was ND, O$U, & us. UGA may have been a visit, but no recruiting experts had UGA in the picture. ND was the $$ choice, and us. O$U got him out of nowhere, but he came back to senses choosing the good guys.
