Ga has def had some very good tight ends that we wanted. So that piece I agree with but you are clearly not a vol fan if you have already forgotten that Luke stocker and brad cottam were just drafted in the past few yrs. Rivera numbers were hampered by the bray injury. He was headed for a big yr for a tight end before the qb shuffle. Is that as impressive as Georgia's list? No but we have had more te success than just witten

Both Cottam brothers and Stocker. I agree his comment was silly though.

I said major contributors in the NFL. Stocker's too early to tell and Cottam had 9 career catches before being released. I'm not here to argue who has had better success at developing TE my point was that UGA does not under-utilize the TE position as the poster claimed. Richt has had a great track record with getting TE to the NFL, so McNneil would have a chance to be successful in their offense, as he would here or any number of SEC schools.

Committed to Alabama.

Henry has a spot regardless. Mcneil was already in the plans but he has grade issues and they were trying to see what hunter henry was going to do, thats why they wouldnt let him commit when he was set to announce the first time. Andy Dodd decommitted yesterday. so they are back to the same number of commits

His father wants him to keep his option open and it's some thought he may not qualify. McNeil is now enrolled at Milford Prep in NY bc of grade issues that would have kept him off the field for his HS. Also, bama is recruiting another TE.

Not sure where you are getting your info because grades were never the isuue. If you read the other article he graduated from HS in August. If grades were an issue he would not have been able to graduate. The academic concernes were from a core class.

McNeil graduated from Hillside High School this summer and will attend a prep school this fall before enrolling at Alabama next spring.

The reason he is going to Milford Prep has nothing to with grades but playing eligibility. According to NCHSAA a player only has 4 years of eligibility to play a sport. He started playing a varsity sport as an 8th grader. Last year his junior year was his last year of eligibility.

King said McNeil, who is 17-years-old, followed the advice of a basketball coach to reclassify at a private school in Charlotte out of eighth grade, which impacted his eight semester of high school eligibility, according to N.C. High School Athletic Association rules.

The NCHSAA states that a student-athlete only has eight semesters of athletic eligibility with their initial high school graduating class.

Just because it is posted on a UF board does not make it the truth.
