Sony 4:30 Friday

[BigPoopaCane]

Well this person also told me that Sony doesn't want to deal with the recruiting circus from now through his season

IF THATS THE CASE HE BETTER CHOOSE TO STAY HOME

IF HE COMMITS TO UGA ITS JUST GONNA GET WORSE

 

[MetalMusicCanesFootball]

Just had another talk with his coach and he says Sony wants Mia but other influences (brother) among others out weighed his personal choice. Me and his coach talked about how the cane nation will be ****ed on Friday once everyone finds out. His coach is truly worried that Sony will get destroyed buy the pressure from fans. His coach really wants him to pick Miami cause he says his heart is for Miami and feels that over the long haul he might regret why he picked UGA intead. This really sucks cause his coach has been keeping me updated for weeks and we both hoped it would be miami. He says while the pick is UGA Sony is still hesitant cause he loves miami so much so let's hope he gets cold feet at the last minute.

Blah blah blah. Tired of hearing 'heart for Miami' yet wont pick us. Tim Williams and Keith were the same way. Oh well. Have fun in UGA, just hope you kill UF. Besides that, peace out bro.

So now the rb that is rated the 18th best prospect in the entire country by ESPN, the RB who when Central switched to having both RB's on the field at the same time they went with him to handle the ball at every snap, now is nowhere near the level of Cook, and is not even close to Sony? Even though ESPN has Sony 14th and Yearby really really really far from him at 18. Ok just wanted to be sure, ya putz

It's not about getting who's better, it's about getting them all

I am all for getting them all, and for as many high rated kids that are in our backyard, will it suck if he ENDS UP GOING TO GEORGIA IN FEBRUARY? Yes, and also no, I love recruiting and following it, but at the same time there needs to be perspective, this is an inexact science, even less than the NFL and they spend a whole lot more and have much more resources for a lesser talent pool, and they fail more than succeed in their drafts. So to go assume that any kid is can't miss is, in my opinion, mistaken. Also in this case, we have as rated by ESPN a rb in this class that is pretty much equally rated to Sony already, so this conclusion that we are not getting studs is just crazy. Should we load up with as many as possible? Yes but we also must allow the staff to do their own evals and their process of recruiting, which in general, with the exception of a few misguided and uninformed fools, we all agree that given the circumstances, Golden has done a good job. Notice I did not say great, but good. And the great recruiting classes is not defined by the high star kids, but the ability to find those "under the radar" guys that actually end up playing like 5 stars to compliment your highly regarded recruits. Which, based on his track record at Temple, and from reports we are getting and seeing from last year's performance and so far this spring it seems this staff has the ability to do that. Just an FYI, I was told that in a couple of years Figs will go down as one of the greatest LB in school history, that is how high the staff is on him.

So yes, lump me in that group, of if he ends up here fantastic, find out how it was we lost him, if it is something we can fix great fix it and move on, if it isn't, i.e. the price was too high, then move on there is nothing you can do there. There is plenty of great talent out there, a great staff, like the Jimmy Johnson and the Butch Davis staffs, do a great job at finding it.

And finally this is for both sides, the morons like tp and all the Golden bashers, for what reason I have no idea except that for some of you it is racially motivated, and for those that assume other schools buy recruits and UM doesn't. It does happen, we know and there is testimony and stories and proof of it happening, I know for a fact in one school in Dade with some recruits it happening, and I also believe with no doubt that UM does as well, difference here is some schools have deeper pockets than others. It is what it is

Well this person also told me that Sony doesn't want to deal with the recruiting circus from now through his season, so committing now could take some of the hype away. Obviously coaches will still be calling him, but all in all he could focus more on his season. Wouldn't have to deal with as many interviews and all that.

If this is true it makes zero sense. First he could tell coaches i will not go to your school if you harass me. Second he can tell reporters to **** off they will eventually take a hint. Third he should tell everyone to **** off and let me contact you. If he goes OOS after committing this early he should expect a lot of crap from the locals.

Pete,

Legit question. Given what we think we know about Cook and his family situation, how do you think Miami is still in the picture?

I've all but written him off.

Sony, though, gimmmmmme.

Because I don't think the family is necessarily involved as much as you guys think. His blood brother choose to come here for basketball so the family obviously doesn't have anything against the school.

Ok I just had a long conversation with someone close to Sony. Whichever school he picks on Friday, this thing isn't even close to being over. I know it will be hard for most of you to grasp if he picks UGA, but the person I spoke was adamant this is far from over and that things will pick up with recruiting for him after his season is over.

Translation: he rides with us if we win, Shalala goes HAM, and Duke goes HAM (the latter of which is a given).

UGA is not a bad school but with that being said...I hope he CHOOOSES THE HOME SCHOOL!!!!

I don't even think it is all about the money...UGA is a winning team and has the ability to compete
with the big boys if they make that push...

I STILL STAND WITH THE U..

+1 Nice job!

sounds like you said he will be picking uga. Why pick a school if in a couple months if your gonna change your minds

Nope. I didn't say he will be picking UGA at all.

Pete, how does that make sense? Unless he commits to Miami, home town pressure WILL NOT GO AWAY.
If he commits to Miami, it is relatively easy to lessen out of town harassment. But if he commits to UGA, new pressure will be generated by local fans for him to change his mind.

 

[robertpaige]

Will know Friday. I vote we ban this guy if the choice is actually Miami.

We will know the 1st Wednesday in February!

If he is worried about fan pressure why would he be picking now, 9 1/2 months before signing day?

Maybe his brother needs to put in for the transfer soon and UGA won't give him the OK until Sony is on board? Who the **** knows just tossing something against the wall. Maybe Sony commits on Friday (to jawga)... Bro transfers and goes on scholarship, and then in February he signs with Miami. That'd be funny.

/ Don't think that happens.
//Hope he comes, but if he doesn't, already over it.
///Not one of those ppl who will 'wish him well'... you are with us or against us. He seems to have handled his recruitment fine but if he signs with the Dawgs then **** em. Won't trash the kid either but won't waste my time typing his name again. **** may even trade my tv in for a Samsung

Honestly, through all of this dog****, that actually makes sense lol. Sony would be the biggest troll on the planet.. and i would love him for it. Georgia would be so ******* ****ed, stuck with a bushleague wideout and no Sony!! LMAO

 

[DiegoCane]

Who is Sony's brother?

And they're the same age?

Marken Michel. Class of 2011. Played for UMASS the last 2 seasons

He's actually legit and I've heard he's gotten huge. He was a late bloomer.

Ariz wants to know if Spencer Whipple has any eligibility left.

Legit = 31 rec 260 yards 1 TD in 2 years at UMASS

This. LOL @ anyone thinking this kid plays a meaningful snap at UGA.

 

[hoops156]

Wasn't Richt on the hot seat before last year?

Good luck Sony, good luck.

better yet, how many titles does UGA have and how many NFL starting rbs does UGA have?

 

[7thfloormahoney]

Yes

No.

He's better than a couple receivers on this team right now. Plus it guarantees Sony.

He may be better than Carter and Jones. That still doesn't crack the top 5. Sony is a running back from south Florida. There is always the next great one. We didn't do it for Keith Brown. Don't do it for Sony.

Lulz at comparing Keith brow and Sony, it took me a minute to remember who Keith brown was, c'mon man, sony is an elite can't miss prospect, Keith was a pretty good linebacker, that's it

keithbrown was tha freshman all american lb this year!

The school was never the issue. That's clear. What's clear are the influences steering him to other schools.
