I hear you on this but I don't think this kid is about that. I don't know anything for sure, of course, but it's just my gut here. I also think Haselwood is looking to get out of Georgia. Again - just my opinion - and we have a bunch of guys here from his neck of Georgia who are doing well and happy. We need to have a good season.
 
Miami and GA are vrry similar living wise except obviously there are more beaches but most people who move away from each State move to the other for the most part so it always makes sense when one side loves the other just like Haselwood with us

How I hate this "arguement" - what constitutes $? 10K? 50K? 100K? Its so ridiculous that people still believe large sums of money are being distributed and no compliance dept sees it----ever!!!! The bag game is so overblown.

That’s because you’re in total denial and ignorant to the topic. I know players that have been offered bags and they aren’t the #1 WR in the nation. Far from it. Additionally, we are talking about Georgia. All depends on whether or not the kid is playing the “game.”

No you don’t. You don’t know anything. You speculate.

Not bashing you because you're correct in the vast, vast majority of cases.

But this one feels a little different. I think this kid understands that if he stays healthy, he's going to make a ton of money in the NFL. And he wants the best position to do that....i.e. he wants to be a first round pick. If he thinks he has a better opportunity for that to happen at Miami over UGA, that outweighs the bag right now. These kids aren't dumb.

Now, that being said, it's still hard to say no to a lot of money to stay home. I get that totally. But something is a little different about this kid. He really seems like he's intent on making the best LONG TERM decision.

I agree with you. He may very well go to georgia because they’re a good program and the hometown team..but he seems very serious about his future and will not sacrifice that for bags.
 
Bags most definitely exist... worked at a small school in TN last year and there was a donor for our program and put large $$$ towards the school in general that paid for a recruit from his old high school in knoxville to come play there. Mind you he was a borderline take for an FBS program, considering other FCS schools, he was paid to come. Our staff was even aware but never had anything to do with it as far as requesting him be paid or anything. It happened on its own.

If it happens at an FCS school it happens in the SEC, ACC, Big 10, Big 12, PAC 12, etc
 
Not that I think we have a good shot at this kid (not yet, anyhow), but I know he's buddies with Burton. Helps us, hurts us or not really a factor?
 
Jermaine Burton? He is in in California now. Playing at a school out there. He was part of a whole eligibility controversy at Marietta and deemed ineligible to play there this year. Went west.

Didn't he get kicked out of IMG as well? Probably for the best that he jumped ship.
