Join the forum discussion on this postWe thought Friday was a crazy day in recruiting, well Saturday just took a step up. Reuben Foster’s visit to Auburn was cut short because of dispute between him and an Auburn football player, Alvin Kamara ended up in Tuscaloosa, AL Saturday Night, and Ole Miss might have pulled another 5-star. Unfortunately it was more bad news for the Georgia Bulldogs.
2013 PROSPECT UPDATES:
Reuben Foster: Foster visited Auburn on Friday night and was expected to stay the whole weekend. Going into the weekend, the Tigers seemed to be the favorite to land Foster. Boy did things change Saturday afternoon. Apparently Auburn Center Reese Dismukes used a racial slur towards Foster and things got heated between the two. Foster then left his visit at Auburn and headed towards Tuscaloosa, AL. That is where Reuben is currently at and we have been told by multiple sources that Foster has committed to Alabama and intends on signing with them on Wednesday.
This apparently didn’t just hurt Auburn’s chances at landing Foster, is ruined the weekend for a lot of recruits that were being hosted. Another recruit that was not happy about the situation was one of UGA’s top Targets, Montravius Adams. It has not been confirmed whether or not Adams left his visit, but that did not help Auburn’s chances in stealing him away from UGA or Clemson.
Alvin Kamara: As of Friday Night Kamara had not made a decision on where he wanted to go to school between UGA and Alabama. On Saturday afternoon, he was back in Tuscaloosa for a surprise unofficial visit. Sources have told us that Kamara has committed to the University of Alabama and plans on signing with Bama on Wednesday.
Bama currently has 5 spots open with 9 targets that have Bama out in front. Somebody might be headed towards a greyshirt in the next couple of days…..and UGA should be right there to pick him up if it’s Tyren Jones.
Laremy Tunsil: A day after Tunsil told UGA staff that he was planning on signing with Ole Miss and to move on, he was back in contact with UGA staff on Saturday. Tunsil is very confused in this process on whether to chase his girlfriends and moms dreams, or to chase his dreams. Numerous signs point to Tunsil’s girlfriend being awarded a full academic scholarship to attend Ole Miss with Tunsil, and Tunsil’s mom receiving a job around that area. Tunsil’s high school coach is not happy about what has happened, and he is expected to meet with Tunsil and his dad again tomorrow. This is far from over…….Tunsil has admitted that his heart is with UGA……..and we will see if he follows that in the end.
Toby Johnson: It looks as if Toby will not qualify and UGA has moved away from Johnson in his recruitment.
Davin Bellamy: Bellamy is visiting Oregon University right now and is expected to return tomorrow.
Brendan Douglas: It has been confirmed that he was recruited to play running back at UGA and that answers the questions for Alvin Kamara. Douglas was offered Friday night and accepted Friday night, Kamara was in Tuscaloosa on Saturday.
Come join us right here, right now, all day as we talk UGA football and recruiting. We are now 3 days away from NSD and things are getting more interesting by the minute. Catch daily updates right here!!! Go Dawgs
A couple of thoughtws about the recruiting process.
First; UGA should never compromise its ethics to get a recruit. It cheapens all that UGA is about. If a kid wants to be here thats awesome, if he does not then let him go someplace else.
Second; I think every Dawg fan in the state should be putting pressure on kids to go to UGA and it should constantly be pointed out what Auburn, Ole Miss and other schools have done to the 4 and 5 star recruits.
Lastly; As I hinted above, every Dawg in and out of the state of Georgia should be pushing UGA. Every kid that grows up in the state should be raised a Dawg. In Texas kids do not go out of state, same for California, Oklahoma and Nebraska, but in Ga the friends and family of these young men think its OK to shop them out to the highest bidder. This is a sad expression of our state.
