01-17-2013 Thursday Recruiting Thread (Target Updates)

Video from Radi Nabulsi (ESPN)

2013 Target Updates:

Reuben Foster: Foster claims that he will play football 3 hours away from his family. That eliminates Washington and LSU…..and that also eliminates Auburn since he lives right next to them. So who does that leave? That leaves Alabama and Georgia as to where he will play college football. He will official visit in Athens next weekend (25th) and is expected to make a decision on NSD or after NSD. Georgia could make a huge impact on Foster next weekend as his best friend Tray Matthews will host him on his visit.

Matthew Thomas: Thomas was scheduled to visit Miami this weekend, FSU next weekend, and UGA his final weekend before making a decision on a team. He has already visited Alabama this past weekend. Thomas had a change of plans and has chosen to visit USC this coming weekend. What does that change? Does that eliminate Miami? Thomas was considered a Miami lock at one time with him living in Miami, but things have changed with the sanctions in the Hurrican program. Thomas was then considered a FSU lean before Stoops left to take the head coaching position at Kentucky. Now Thomas is strongly considering Bama and UGA. UGA could make a huge move for Thomas the weekend before signing day. Why does Thomas like UGA? He loves the way Grantham used Jarvis Jones in his defense and feels he can be utilized the same way. UGA could make a major upset if they land Thomas.

Alvin Kamara: News broke that UGA runningback Ken Malcome had decided to transfer and Kamara was the first one to know about it from UGA staff. Kamara is down to UGA and Alabama is is expected to make a decision on NSD. While UGA was making a serious push last night, Alabama coaches Nick Saban and Kirby Smart decided to go to Kamara’s house for an in-home visit. Kamara will visit Bama this weekend and UGA next weekend. Jan 25th could be the biggest recruiting day of the year for the Dawgs as they will host most of their remaining 2013 targets.

Come join us right here as we have updates throughout the day and talk UGA football and recruiting leading up to NSD. Feel free to share any inside information you might have with other Dawg fans.

Go Dawgs!!!

@34Dawg I will go with Tunsil, Johnson, Kamara and the other 3 I'm unsure on. Wanna say Foster, Adams and Bellamy but not sure. Hoping for Thomas

Nice work, brb.

Grantham had a very good meeting with Davin Bellamy and Montravius Adams today!!!!

We are hearing that Todd Grantham has told recruits that he has been visiting that he will be at UGA next year.

29 commits. 10 back counted. 6 spots left. 4 defensive prospects, one OL (tunsil), and Kamara?

@LawDawg2011 Yes sir!!

@bigredballer I guess Crowder goes to CU, or we pick him up if we whiff on others?

The talk Grantham had with Bellamy today went very well.......I could see Bellamy flipping on NSD depending on his official visit. He is very athletic and has a ton of upside

Do I think it could have negative impact on recruiting? Not with the current commits but would with the targets.

Nate: If Grantham leaves I believe Coach O is promoted. No way we go on another defensive coordinator search bc we have a defensive staff already in place. No one would take job without being able to bring some of their own coaches

Grantham Update: he is visiting with Adams today and has not been offered the job for the Eagles. My sources say if the Eagles do indeed offer him the job, he will seriously consider it but it would still be hard to leave Athens unless it was for a head coaching position. UGA would likely give him another raise if he chose to stay

bigredballer Since he's visiting Bellamy right now, that should be taken as he denied the offer.

@BartowCoDawg He has not been offered the position yet, so nothing would stop him from recruiting

BRB, hypothetical for you...what happens if Grantham goes to Philly??? How would you think it might impact current defensive commits, as well as our current targets?

Would still be shocked if RF doesn't sign with the Barn. Would love to see us get back in with Kyrin Priester. Hopefully, Kamara can do the math and see he will play as a Freshman at UGA.

@007dawg=Bro.Chette "ble$$ing" recruits at the Barn Like I have said before, you can never tell about Reuben

007dawg=Bro.Chette "ble$$ing" recruits at the Barn Why would he sign with Auburn? The only things that were keeping him there were Liner and Trooper. Both are gone now.

007dawg=Bro.Chette His daughter would be fine. Rumors are the Mama Matthews are going to help with that since he and Reuben had a relationship prior to the recruiting.

BartowCoDawg 007dawg=Bro.Chette Well, if the rumors of $$$ are true, then he may have already "sold his soul" so to speak and maybe he has to go to AU. I have no evidence of this, but there is a lot of smoke.

One thing about our recruiting this year compared to years past - we have been aggressive this year. I hope we can pull several of our final targets. They will shape the course of UGA's future.
