New Offer: 3 star OT Jacob Hood, Nashville Tenn

[aleahy]

Rough start to OL recruiting for us, I wonder what's going on? Justice is a pretty good recruiter? I wonder if it's due to how much depth we have?

Agbo is a big deal right now. If he jumps in, the OL class concern is largely mitigated. Maybe add 1 more later. Without Agbo, not sure where they go.

I know it’s cliche to say you weren’t impressed after the recruit commits elsewhere. But I’m going to say it anyway. I was singularly unimpressed with his (admittedly very small) film sample. The guy is a Titan but he’s slow footed. A kid like Davis gives up 125-150 pounds to him yet will blow past him like a RB finds a hole.

Oh don’t start

 

[Cuban-Cane]

This is definitely a loss nobody better try to spin it. Durant you can spin and spells as well but this is one of our top 3 remaining OL targets and it’s definitely a loss.

 

[Ziggy]

Never felt like this kid was going to come to us over SEC offers. I like Flip but the heat is on Justice. Not sure we lead for any of his targets.

You keep saying that as if only the number of linebackers matter. None of them are proven, we need another backer and one with actual size.

You keep saying that none of them are proven but you literally havent even given a chance to four kids who will be LBs for the first time for us in Troutman, Johnson, Smith and now Medlock.

How many more precious schollies are we gonna waste for only two spots?? 8-10 LBs, of which 4 have yet to get a chance to show their stuff, isnt that enough for 2 spots? Maybe if the coaches started urging the unproven kids to enter the portal and free up schollies, then i can see the logic in adding more LBs to the mix.

agree. Anyone who has been following OL recruiting knows this potentially could be a mediocre class. Richardson was never really coming, hood and were always going to be hard pulls, as is armella. The unfortunate part about OL recruiting is that there does not seem to be a lot of viable backup plans like we do at DL, DB, etc.

What's up man? Why aren't you pleased when we actually land a good prospect?

You made a comment yesterday about how it would be an all time troll of Fegans didnt pick us almost as if you wanted it to happen.

DB recruiting is almost done so the Calvary’s coming…

 

[SpikeUM]

Hood always was a longshot and UGA lean, so not worth a lot of tears.

And by definition, mopes have short memories. Remember the panic when we only had two commits? The staff now has GREAT recruiters and has a different strategy this year, and up to now, its working. For the star whores, we are top 10 in average commit grade.

DBs are locked up send our hit squad to some other targets

 

[Paranos]

You have to wonder with Hood reportedly being a UGA lean what is the holdup with his commitment to UGA. They just accepted the commitment of a 3* oline GaTech flip. I am thinking Hood is definitely being slow played by UGA as a plan B/C for UGA.

Bulldogs get rare ‘flip commitment’ from Georgia Tech

ATHENS -- It’s unusual for Georgia to flip a verbally committed recruit from Georgia Tech these days. Extremely rare, in fact.

Maybe that was fake news?

 

[htownkidd]

They have struck out on several of their top OL targets in an already “down” year for OL. He is definitely a priority for them and it wouldnt surprise me if he verbals before the season begins.

 

[AllAboutTheU]

Yea, he’s absolutely a take for QGA. Their fans are upset because of stars but he’s definitely a take.

That you know of.

That's why I wondered if all the twitter Miami love was aimed at motivating UGA.

Hopefully it doesn't work.

 

[joseermonfils]

Yea I’ll take the win by default here

 

[Ziggy]

Anyone else sick of Hood posting a million school edits on Twitter, including ours. Lol.

Uga just picked up a OL commit. Don’t know how that changes things here
