    Right up until he smells that signing bonus.  Although to be honest, I haven't heard him mentioned as a sure-fire 1st round pick.  But those speculations will be heating up over the next couple of months.

    Pretty much top 5 or so rounds and a kid is gone. That being said all I’ve seen so far is discussion say top 2 rounds. My guess is he has already got a favorable draft grade and is slow playing football now for leverage. I would expect for him to commit to a dual sports school in the spring just in case, but would bet he is going early enough in the MLB draft for it to be meaningless

    Every time one of my students sends me an unreadable spreadsheet, the first question I ask is, "Were you using a Mac?"

    95% of the time, the answer is Yes.

    Preaching to the choir man...

     

    Trying to grade Mac versions of Excel is a hell I wish upon no professor or even TA

    That's not really how it works.

    My view point is that if you know UGA has been rumored as on the NCAAs radar, why not as a HS kid take the $$ now and then see what happens later?  
     

    If for some reason the NCAA comes calling and swoops up UGA and comes asking questions you can turn them in and be allowed to go elsewhere. If they just hammer UGA (or at least throw out the signs with a NOA) then you can decommit and maybe get a second payday...

     

    I just can’t see the downside of taking the $$ from out of state now knowing that if it goes to shit you still will have options near home. All it requires is betting on yourself to do well this next season.

    You just look at the ulcers Charlie's "special" teams gave me... 

    I could never figure out how Charlie’s ST could suck so bad here when he came from Meyer at UF and they were pretty damn good on ST at Louisville...


    Here is a scary thought, think about how the ST would be the last decade if we didn’t luck into an all world Aussie punter...

    Sorry. Was just trying to troll Steve Jobs aka @immamac . It is a shitty, severely overpriced product with a terrible closed-off OS but apparently possesses magical powers when it comes to design work but that's besides the point.

    Great for graphics, shit for data or analytics work.  For years the Mac port had a rounding error in one of the mainstream statistical analysis platforms, if that tells you anything. If you want to do simulations, large scale optimization or any detailed analytics you are better off with a PC..

    Thank God they finally have somebody to help with special teams. 

    Funny that we went from having some random drunk bum off of 6th street “working” with ST to having the last 2 ST coach of the year winners as well as a former D2 HC that prioritized ST and now they are bringing in ST analysts... it’s almost like ST is an area of emphasis for Sark

  7. Just thinking about how much harder the transfer portal would make maintaining the monster dynasties after a few years.. you just recruited 25 five stars... now 10 from last year left from the transfer portal and you will then begin to see depth issues as you get behind the counter curve due to graduation, the nfl draft and the transfer portal..

    So nobody was willing to give him play calling duties in college... Essentially he had to admit that all schools only viewed that his value in dropping bags and coaching DL and so why put up with recruiting and instead go chill with Urban

    Some thoughts that might be worth what you’re paying for them:

    -LJ Johnson - this is a crazy recruitment. Dude presses to graduate early. Then he might not show up for spring at either school. He has a chance to compete for backup at either school, instead this guy is going to do footwork for the spring at home and then redshirt after showing up in June? Neither group of coaches is loving the lack of competitiveness. 

    -True to form, the LB from UTenn is going to make sure he gets his. Bama is the likely outcome. If Texas gets this guy, well, bags for sure be droppin’. 

    -The ol’boy out of Seattle ain’t signing on NSD2. He might give Texas an actual look and make it fun, but he’s going to Ohio State. 

    -I am not the only guy watching CFB religiously that thinks Charvonnet is a depth guy. The guys at Texas that are paid to do this are pursuing him because they know better. 

    -Abiara is as close as a lock as we could hope for those still unsigned for 2021. 

    -The PWO kicker is exciting for the staff. Family, HT to @Hank Scorpio, is loaded. Laramie had PWO offers from everyone accordingly.  He’s worth a scholarship. 

    If you have an open and obvious question that I didn’t touch on for what is left in this shit show of a class, LMK. I have been hustling on different calls all day and then cooking and got a couple of calls while whipping something up and might not be remembering everything. 

    How much did PK have to do with the 2 transfer pickup at edge rusher?

    How bad is OL recruiting looking for 21? Any hope at all outside of Uke? Are we going to have to go the transfer market?

    What is the biggest hole the staff sees right now between the roster and current class?
