I'm just stunned by what seems to be a high frequency of higher rated recruits not being able to deliver the goods for us
We probably didn't do any favors by taking a life long LB and just expecting he could turn into an ACC caliber DE.
It would be awesome if we could just recruit actual DEs and DTs and not turn LBs into DEs and DEs into DTs.
It's not good. But, it also shouldn't be unexpected. Nobody hits on all the evaluations and not every project can be developed.
Can we all agree that participation trophies are to blame?
You know what? We can get so caught up in the transfer portal and sports illustrated articles and all the day to day noise... AND THEN we get to celebrate a guy who not only walks-on and battles on the field but then takes on his own demons and literally battles for other people's lives!
Congrats Austin Cannon! (See article below if you aren't familiar with Austin's story) Today is a good day!

In the end you make a decision in what you think is best and roll. Sometimes it pans out sometimes a year in youd love to have your #2 candidate. It is what it is.
Whether you are a Div. I football coach or a businessman, how often that happens literally defines whether you win or lose in the long run.
Well if we have to invade Normandy again in the near future these guys should be ready for the first wave. Good luck to them!
He's been in the program one year bro, most guys don't get mentioned at that point. Devon Hunter and QP were 4 star recruits who have been riding the bench, shit happens. Proctor would have been good to have in the long term.
I wish the best to him. Hopefully he can find a place to get some meaningful playing time. I'm all for free'ing up scholarship spots when guys are buried on the depth chart and won't see any playing time outside of blowouts and even then, with how young the team is especially at DL, I doubt he would see the field much then.
The portal sucks when you have either a brand new player up and leave or one of your 2 deep up and leave. I think I shows some of the lack of maturity of the former and potential issues with the latter (unless it's for obvious family / health related reasons).
No harm in this, read French's comment as he brings it back to reality. Good luck to him.
Ah, without decent-quality broadband internet your options for "cutting the cord" are limited if not non-existent. I would check the services to see what bandwidth they recommend and compare that to what is available at your location (I would assume it would be in the neighborhood of 3 Mbps on DSL), but sounds like you may be stuck with DirecTV or Dish Network for a while.
I've used the same Comcast login at least 3 times, but each time has been at a different address. I would be interested to see what happens if you take a year off in between.

Sounds like VPN time to me

Somebody better tell them that GT isn't a triple option team anymore and their knees are safer.

Let me edit not Matt Stafford touchdowns so much as Georgia touchdowns...just gifted it to em
That was a game where we really left the defense out to dry in the 2nd half with all the turnovers and our offense turning to mush. Georgia had a 4 play drive that started at our 1 yard line. What a waste of an elite defense that whole year was. If MV5 hadn't had the calf stomp that could have been a really special season.
Crawling around in the long grass in summer? Gonna be covered in ticks, right?
I still have flashbacks of Ricky hall dropping that touchdown right in front of my seats as a senior in high school...still haven't gotten over that game.
1998 Temple. I was so upset driving home after the game that I drove past my exit and many miles later wondered where the hell I was.
Damn right that had slipped my mind...then I had a flashback of Eddie royal throwing a td pass to put us up 21-3 at the half. My next memories are a blur of Sean glennon turnovers and Matt Stafford touchdowns...and Georgia fans barking in our faces as we pissed the game away one blunder after another. That absolutely sucked
But how well can he see through all his tears? I have never seen a grown man cry more that Dilfer.
Keep in mind that Glennon was our starting QB; that helps in justifying the "we want Tyrod" chants.
No reason to attack a guy like that. Damn.
