I'm not sure which is worse - our likely losing out on this kid to UGA, or the writing/editing in that article. Hurt my brain to read!

If the kid wants to waste his life in the soup of mediocrity, that is his business. Sony Michel chose UGA over us as well, see how well that worked out for him.

as long as they held on to Richt with nothing to show for it except one BCS game and a couple of east championships, i dont think Kirby has much to worry about. it was the same talk in Georgia every year with Richt, how good the recruiting was and they never did anything. I really wish they would have kept him, it scares me that they have someone with a pulse down there coaching and recruiting now

Which is exactly what he's done with these last two classes. Two more top 3 classes and we can hire a goat to coach em up.

We spent all our money on the new football ops center. When momma wants him close enough to see his games, drives right past us to get to you and won't give us a full visit, I smell SEC money.

I see three circumstances in play from this article and none are good. While I would love to see White commit, I did not like what I read.
First his mother seems to factor way to much in a decision. He is going to have to make a choice for himself. He ultimately will have to disappoint some coaches and once he picks a school his coach will likely be "on his case."
He has great talent, but he sounds as if he is going to have to mature in this process. He like every player will have adjustments so we can only hope he lands where he will be happy.
Dabo would be a great mentor.
Go Tigers!

I know that if we do not get White that we have a good chance with big Dex's brother. I know he's not as good but I feel like he is a good back. What do some of you in the know think of him.

I would love to get him and hope we do. Dabo and the rest of the coaches hopefully will get momma on campus and do their thing. If so, we will stand a good chance. In the end either we will or we won't but one guy will not make or break Clemson. I expect the 18 class to be one of the best recruited either way.

Would love to have him, BUT the Tigs are just fine. WRU and QBU. Somehow a little ol pickup from Grayson's turned into a pretty d**n good back and we have a couple pretty good ones and will land a solid back if he does not commit.
Oh and can we get the dogs back on the schedule.

"His mother is looking for a school where Zamir can get the best of college football and a place that is close where she can be part of it too," added Bailey. "The closeness plays it to it all I think because she wants Zamir to be where she can see him."
The distance (under five hours from White's home) is part of the reason Georgia may be in front for one of the premiere prospects in the country, but that is far from it. Georgia's Dell McGee, the running backs coach under Kirby Smart has worked hard to pull Georgia back to be a real competitor in this race.
Soooooo, isn't Clemson closer??

I'm thinking the "$ec thing" about not needing to go to class and the bagman may be in play here. I'm not sure of course. He could be trolling every one, he will go where he wants, and no, not every player that turns us down is on someone else's payroll, but the Nkemdiche scandal says it happens more often than we know.

Not sure what you mean about not attending class and we're don't have to pay money under the table to attract recruits but for those that do you can be sure it's happening in very conference. Oh, and congrats on your recent natl title....Cu's first not followed by probation.

Yea lets not get ahead of yourself buddy. Living in GA I've developed a few ties to the GA football program under the old regime. AJ Green, Gurley, and Stanford have come up a couple times in inadmissible benefits.

My belief is that they absolutely bought Zamir White's mom.
No proof. Haven't talked to anybody. But when the National Champ calls you don't drive past their campus without checking them out - and his mom did - to go an hour further to a lesser program unless something is shady in Denmark. The fact that she won't even take the staff's calls is another red-flag...sorry, if she won't listen, it strongly suggests she's been incentivised not to.
The big thing to consider with Kirby Smart - and concerning some of his recruits last year, I do have some pretty good info suggesting he's playing way dirtier pool than Mark Richt ever did - is that he's well aware Richt got canned winning 9-10 games a year and usually finishing runner-up in the East. But the Dawgs hired Smart to make Georgia another Alabama...and coming from Alabama, Smart is very well aware there's no higher strategies or mysterious Dark Art to anything Alabama did - Alabama wins by dominating the LOS and by having bigger, better players than anyone else. And Smart is well-aware he's fried if he does not deliver that.
He's got a multimillion dollar contract in his pocket, and he went just 8-5 (and looked awful at times doing it) last year. Does anybody think Smart is going to wait passively for the knife when it's abundantly plain what the expectations at UGA are? It's win huge or die for him there, and he knows it.
I do know the SEC is flat-out Wild West right now...and almost to a school - Vandy's probably the sole exception - they notoriously buy anything that's for sale. Ole Miss, I think, was the first thread the NCAA was hoping to unravel...and in the process, I think they intend to flip Ole Miss and break the rule of omerta - silence- that's been in place ever since Mark Slive enacted the so-called "Phil Fulmer rule" that almost got Alabama the death penalty back in 2001 over Albert Means. (Ironically he went to Trezevant High School, the same school that just allegedly falsified former Clemson RB commit Cordarrian Richardson's transcript, rendering him ineligible.) It was revealed then that Means' coach had essentially put him up for auction, which Alabama won (for at least $160,000 plus other considerations), but Fulmer was able to turn Alabama in because they finished second in that bidding. Slive put a stop to all that - after the Means fiasco, all member-institutions of the SEC were required to submit any findings of NCAA misdeeds to the SEC Compliance Office before sending them to the NCAA...which, IMHO, should have immediately resulted in the SEC being DQ'd from participating in any NCAA-sanctioned event. But the NCAA didn't have the cajones then to stand up to Slive and the SEC.
Whatever, if the NCAA breaks Ole Miss, they aren't likely to die alone. They're the first domino...and the chain reaction could easily ripple through the SEC. It's certainly time overdue, as far as everyone else is concerned. There's a lot of reasons everyone despises the SEC, and it wasn't just jealousy over all the shiny promotion they were getting from ESPN.
Also whatever, I suspect Zamir White's long gone. Be years before that gets back to UGA, if ever. Smart knows that, too.

Seems to me that an RB eying a pro career would fare
Feb 27, 2017, 5:46 PM
|

better in a more diverse offense, and fare even better with star QB's and WR's at his side. Of all the skill positions, this one takes the biggest beating, especially at the FBS college level and above. In high school there's just not enough overall power depth to inflict the kind of hurt over the course of a season as there exists at the next levels.
Seems like there's more knee and leg injuries here than anywhere, thus the more you carry a team's load toting the ball in the college ranks, the less you might have left in the tank once turning pro, or the more likely you might be to suffer injuries along the way.
I know it's a rough sport and anyone can get hurt on any given play, but I look at Lattimore at SCar and seemingly every UGA feature back the past five years, plus Scarborough in our game, 2015's stars Fournette and McCaffrey both out long stretches this past year, and I worry about RB's that have to be the dude in college and what it might mean for them once they have an opportunity to make bank on it.
