His running style reminds me of Walter Payton. You know, Walter FN Payton?

Evans is an absolute take if he wants us. So if it comes down to Jackson and Shepherd for that last spot, (again, assuming Jackson really wants to be here) then gimme Jackson all day. He looks to be that inside destroyer that Madubuike was

I wonder if Foster would consider playing Rb.


Why?

All I want to know is who will get the blame if Evans blows up the locker room and turns the team against itself?


We get it. You only want eagle scouts on the team and are ok with 8-5 every year. Jimbo is the coach, not Sumlin. Give the guy a chance.
Wow, I didn't see anything about boy scouts in my post, you got some amazing reading comprehension there buddy. You can see words that are clearly no there.

What I want is for those who think selling their souls to the devil make the football program better could be wishing for another 5 years (new coach and all) in the weeds. See, I can do it too, read things that are not there.

Dude, why don't you trust our coach to lead, and to ensure "good order and discipline."

He seems to be a quite capable leader of men.

"Evans gave what many thought was a strong hint of his future school when asked about the position coach he plans to play for in college last Saturday.
"The backs he has put into the league, one of them went to and won the Super Bowl his rookie year," Evans said. "

I think Shepherd goes the juco route since he has to sit out anyway. May as well go somewhere and play and then come in ready to go come 2021.

Do we really want a Juco developing him? We have hopes of playing him in '21.

For that matter, would he agree to greyshirt? The sips would probably take him back at this point to avoid the optics of us taking one of theirs.

That was in reference to UGA, things have changed since then

This guy is going to be a headache...do we really need him that bad?
Yes. We do.

And simply because he's a headache during recruiting doesn't mean he's going to necessarily continue to be a headache.

You want nothing but eagle scouts as recruits? Fine, but accept a lifetime of 7-5 and 8-4 records and crappy bowls while other schools deal with big boy issues and play for national championships.
Why do some people think that we're stocked with RBs on our roster? For our bowl game, we had to use a WR and QB as back-ups to Spiller.

If Evans becomes more trouble than he's worth, just kick his ass off the team. It's well worth the risk for this type of generational talent.
This.

There are legitimate scouts comparing Evans to Adrian Peterson. If he wants to come play for us, unless he's a convicted criminal, you have to assume the risk. High risk/ High Reward

He's damn good but not Adrian Peterson good.
I personally think he will flame out no matter where he winds up.

The issue is we have 2 ships left with very good shots at Shep and Jackson. I'd definitely take Jackson over Evans at this point but think Evans is a bigger need than Shep.
Given their history, I don't see a good future for Shep or Evans. They are both huge risks.
The coaches will have to make the calls.

I saw that you can't sign more than one LOI in a year. Well, technically it's a new year in 2020 and he signed in 2019. Or is it you can't sign more than one LOI in an academic year?

I hope it is Jackson and Shepherd. There is a 4 star running back visiting on 19 Jan from Ls Vegas.

There is another 4* from Arizona visiting 1/17
The one from Arizona is Hubbard. Who's the one from Vegas?

Do we tell either Jackson or Shepherd we don't have a scholly for them based on a lick and a promise from Evans?
Now Jimbo is earning his paycheck. Plus he is bringing a 4 star running back from Nevada on Jan 19 for an Official????

Pretty sure Jimbo keeps recruiting until the recruit has signed or enrolled.

There is nothing to sign until next December.

He can't sign another LOI but it would make him look pretty bad if he signed a LOI, backed out of it, then committed to a second school that had to turn others away because of it, then changed his mind again and enrolled in a third school.

I think if he ends up committing to Jimbo and Jimbo feels good enough about it to accept it then he is coming here.

Uh, yes there is. February 5.

Jackson and Evans (now) haven't signed anything. Don't know if NSD has any affect on Shep.

Respectfully disagree. They are both kids with their entire football career ahead. I would like to see what Jimbo can do from a character building aspect. Both are undeniable top shelf talents.

It's one per year. He signed with uga in 2019 so he can get him to sign with us in 2020.
TAM85

One LOI per calendar year or per school year?

It seems he can register for classes as soon as he gets the ACT score he needs, whether that is the Spring semester or the first summer session.

I think there may be a grad transfer DE from Temple also in the mix.

I don't think so. You can only sign one LOI per recruiting cycle. The 2019 December signing period and the 2020 February signing period are part of the 2020 cycle.

True, but completing and FAFSA and enrolling before January 17th is actually possible for him. Not sure that will happen though.
I will never understand how someone can tell so many lies and not feel bad about it...
Emilio Fantastico

Only possible if there aren't any qualification issues.

There's really not been a definitive statement on that made to date. All we know is he took the ACT during the playoffs.

where is it stated that he even signed the LOI with UGA a fact? does speculation that everyone believes just become facts?

He signed a LOI, they submitted it and then after he wanted to back out, Georgia looked into whether letting him go would free up a 2020 spot or not. Letting him go free'd the spot so they let him go.

He can't sign with anyone now, but he can enroll early if his test scores are good enough, which he may have already. If he did not get the test scores, he will have other opportunities to get it before fall.

My guess is, next fall he will be enrolled in a school we went even talking about.

His enrollment in whatever school he attends is already filled with drama.

Drama will follow him wherever he goes, just how much remains to be seen.

Nope . . .just endless and groundless speculation. I do personally think the guys endless teases and mis-directions and 180s have made all potential coaches both tired of his crap and wary of his ability to stick through a few years of team ball.

When you have Deion Sanders trying to apologize for you on National Television, you have done something really stupid and burnt a lot of bridges.

Probably the likeliest case . . .UGA really needs a 5 star QB at this point and the extra ship would be helpful. The on thing they are not lacking for is top tier running backs.
