PROSPECT UPDATES:

Alvin Kamara: We do hear that he did not commit to Alabama and a lot depends on the announcement of Alex Collins tonight. That might sound weird because he is not even considering UGA, but this is the scenario. Alex Collins is considering Arkansas and if he commits to the Razorbacks today, it is unlikely that Alabama commit Tenpenny switches to Arkansas. If this happens, then Nick Saban has a decision to make. He either has to try and greyshirt Tyren Jones (which could lead him to UGA) or Alvin Kamara will come to UGA. Alabama is not in a position to keep all 4 RB’s due to numbers, so the next couple of days are going to be interesting.

Reuben Foster: Foster will announce his decision tonight between……well there is no telling what hats he will have on the table. We will have our prediction right here around 6:00pm and we will cover Foster’s announcement.

Laremy Tunsil: Tunsil was in contact with UGA staff throughout the whole weekend. On Friday Night he told the UGA staff to move on and that he was going to Ole Miss. On Saturday morning and called UGA staff and apologized and said he was confused. On Sunday morning his mother asked him to cut off all contact with UGA. Tunsil talked with UGA staff once again Sunday afternoon. This is how it is, plain and simple….Laremy Tunsil is torn between the school he loves and wants to be at (UGA), and his girlfriend and mother (who want him at Ole Miss). If you do not understand that last sentence, send me an email and I would love to break it down for you. It will be very hard for him to announce against the Bulldogs on live TV Wednesday morning knowing that is where he wants to be.

Montravius Adams: He cut his list to 4 after his official visit and those schools are Alabama, Auburn, UGA, and Clemson. He will announce his decision Wednesday morning. UGA looks to be the favorite right now and the chances are very good that Adams signs with UGA Wednesday.

Davin Bellamy: After his official visits to Oregon this weekend, he said UGA still led with Oregon 2nd and Tennessee 3rd heading into Wednesday. That is a good sign for UGA, because there is a very slim chance to none that Bellamy is going to Oregon. Tennessee was the main team to worry about here. Bellamy likely will sign with UGA on Wednesday and he would be a HUGE kid as an outside linebacker.

Come join us right here, right now, all day as we talk UGA football and recruiting. Two days till NSD……..things are going to get very interesting

Well guys my source said foster to auburn and was wrong so I apologize for the misinformation

AzzKckrUGA 3171 pts

 gthomason No harm and no foul...not your fault from your source.  the point of all the boards is to share and try to decipher what makes sense or not.  Don't always rely on the pay sites - they have an agenda.

AzzKckrUGA 3171 pts

 gthomason And even if a source has the information intel - there is nothing that says it does not get changed at the last minute - Tunsil is the prime example.

CCM=Proud Dawg 4253 pts

hey BRB i am hearing something crazy happened with MA. What is it?

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

He said he decided on the way to the studio and he is still confused

AzzKckrUGA 3171 pts

 bigredballer per Shaq - wait and see who he signs with on Wednesday....

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

He is headed to.......Alabama

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

Reuben Foster on stage

jwweath 87 pts

The TV here did not air the football show.  Here in Panama City Beach they showed pro basketball and are now showing poker.  So keep us informed.

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

 jwweath Interviewed Alvin Kamara and Robert Nkemdiche.....Foster's commitment coming up next

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

Alex Collins to Arkansas helps UGA big time!!

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

 jwweath Bama can not take all 4 RB's due to numbers. They were counting on Tenpenny decommitting and going to Arkansas, now that will not happen bc of Collins going there. Bama will be forced to either greyshirt Tyren Jones which could lead him to UGA, or turn down Kamara. One of them have to happen

jwweath 87 pts

I read where they did offer to greyshirt Jones.

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

 jwweath Yes they already have....

jwweath 87 pts

So when Reuben commits to a team tonight does he stick with that commitment until Weds?  Or will he flip to someone else tomorrow?

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

 jwweath Lol who knows!!

jwweath 87 pts

Do we want to take some bets on it?

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

Alvin Kamara is with Reuben tonight at his announcement....

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

Reuben will announce in 25 minutes on FSS, tune in!!!

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

Live Reuben Foster Thread: What is your prediction?

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

 AzzKckrUGA I am predicting Auburn

AzzKckrUGA 3171 pts

 bigredballer I wish it were UGA.  I don't understand from the situation why it is not but oh well.  In the long run - with what we have in this class and if we get Raekwon next year then it is fine.  I don't want to put any problems into our team that will cause us distractions and this might be one of those.

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

 AzzKckrUGA Lorenzo Carter and Raekwon would be HUGE

AzzKckrUGA 3171 pts

 bigredballer UGA - he has to worry about drug tests and going to class. Not at Bama or the Barn.

AzzKckrUGA 3171 pts

 bigredballer absolutely....

Bulldog247 9 pts

Hey BRB!!  I just read on another site that Saban asked Tyren Jones to gray shirt!  Have you heard anything?  Would we take him if  wanted to come?

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

 Bulldog247 It was confirmed today by us that he did indeed get asked to greyshirt. Now he has to choose between grayshirt at Bama or scholly at UGA

Bulldog247 9 pts

 bigredballer so he does have an offer from UGA?

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

 Bulldog247 Yes he does

Bulldog247 9 pts

 bigredballer Have the coaches been in contact with him?  Is there mutual interest?

 

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

 Bulldog247 Yes and have not heard with Jones, but what 4-star would want to take a year off from football? I think he should have interest

ugadawgforever08 122 pts

Do we have any back up plans since we have missed on these guys?

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

 ugadawgforever08 I hear the 4-star offensive tackle out of Alpharetta is gonna announce UGA on Wednesday

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

Reuben to Auburn tonight is my prediction

gthomason 11 pts

Take it for what its worth, I hope thats true its just this is what he does for living, talks to the kids and coaches studys film etc.. Experts have been wrong plenty of times just trying to relay what I hear

34Dawg 387 pts

MA mentor who is closer to anyone else seems to think he is a dawg

gthomason 11 pts

From my sources Foster, adams, and johnson if he qualifies to Auburn Kamara to Alabama Tunsil to Ole Miss This info is coming from a very reliable source that works for ESPN

AzzKckrUGA 3171 pts

 gthomason Hence it is not reliable.  No pay site has any real info.  Just look at what they have been reporting - they are behind all the others blogs and sites....start with hear, LHB, and others.

gthomason 11 pts

I hope they change their minds too but we sem to miss on all the top flight guys we just hired a recruiting coordinator but only to set up visits not actually recruit which I dont understand, we have to change the way we are recruiting im not saying cheat by any means but 2010-2013 other than a few recriuts we have missed on everyone we were in the final two or three on signing day.That being said we still have a great class but it could be a lot better. Since you have knowledge of the program why did we hire a coordinator just for visits and not to recruit

AzzKckrUGA 3171 pts

 gthomason That is bogus.  We don't need to change anything.  We are fine.  Wait for 2014 to see the last 4 years of things get washed out wiht 2013.  We should have a better haul in 2014.  But aside from all that - the class we are bringing in right now - nothing wrong with that class at all.  People just got crazy thinking we were going to get into all the hype of RF, LT, AK, MA, DL, et cetera.  Now I thought Tunsil was ours but oh well. 

 

UGA will be fine.  We need to remember what we have already - Langley, Mattews, Ramsey, Green, Terry, Kublanow, Rumph, Floyd, Atkins, Ranking, ONeal,......

gthomason 11 pts

Ok guys I have it from very good sources and no im not an insider but there is no chance we get foster and adams official visit to auburn went extremely well and there is a 95% chance he signs with them that is as of 6pm monday evening we still have tomorrow to change his mind but of the big time prospects left expect only Bellamy to sign with us sorry to be the bearer of bad news but my source is an insider. (He is a recruiting analyst for another site and a good friend of the family)

bigredballer 21084 pts moderator

 gthomason I hate that we don't get Foster and hopefully Tunsil changes his mind......I would have loved to have Adams, but he has not impressed me at any camps games. He might turn out great, but he is not a player that could make an immediate impact. Hopefully he comes, who knows......

AzzKckrUGA 3171 pts

 gthomason Contradicts everything else from other insiders not paid to report information.

RxDawg 3522 pts

I saw a lot of people getting angry at LTs girlfriend. But you know what, a full scholarship is pretty dang valuable. I can't fault LT at all if he went to ole miss and had both their educations paid for. But I can fault UGA for not doing the same thing. We got bigger checkbooks then most, and as long as its on the up and up I say we hard out scholarships to significant others too. I'm tired of these sec west weasels taking our players. And frankly, I don't think what they are doing is all that bad. Now two people get an education instead of one. I'd be on board with that, if that's what it takes.

jwweath 87 pts

 RxDawg The sad thing about the whole situation, and I have seen it over and over again, is he and the girlfriend will have broken up before the first year is up and then he will be stuck playing for a school where he doesn't want to be, without the reason he went there in the first place.

RxDawg 3522 pts

@jwweath that is very possible. I've seen it, he'll I've lived it lol.

007dawg=Build the indoor football facility now!!! 1972 pts

 RxDawg I'm hearing that the gf and LT's little brother were promised academic schollies...also there is prolly $$  involved.   I seriously doubt the gf or his little brother have a 4.0 gpa and are deserving of any academic shollies anyway.    I know UGA will not hand out these schollies just to get a football player...and they shouldn't.

AzzKckrUGA 3171 pts

 007dawg=Bro.Chette "ble$$ing" recruits at the Barn  RxDawg ^^^^THIS.....if the GF and little brother had their acts together i am sure it would not be an issue.

 

Now what about the rumor that the GF has a kid and the kid is not even LTs?  I have no idea just asking if it is true or not.  But that would be pretty telling.. LT is just going to have to suffer the consequences either way but I would be doing it my way.  Now if the kid is his then that is a different story.  But I think it is probably telling about the situation.
