I would love to see this board you have. 8)

Langley is good but not as good as this kid. And even if they are close in ability the doors it opens in NJ for UA outweighs any of the doors we already have open in GA. This is big on two fronts.

BTW emailing Saban for you, to tell him he needs check the UGA UA board for who we should recruit. 8)

Congrats on the pickup. Really like Averett's versatility.

I was just being sarcastic because Bama did not back off of Langley. Langley is rated higher on Rivals and Scout. 247 has Averrett slightly higher. Langley is slightly bigger, speed is comparable. I have seen Averrett at 4.45 and Langley at 4.5 and 4.39. Langley plays cb and Averrett plays safety and is being recruited to play cb.

Either way they are both good players and I seriously doubt Bama has backed off of Langley. Since you have those ties with Saban and you are emailing him. I have some 5'7 150 pound cbs in 1a he should take a look at.

That reminds me of the size of a LB at 5'4 137lbs that chased down and hammered K Marshall last season in HS. 8)

BTW Averett rushed for over a 1k yards and threw for over 650yds to combine for 21 TDs on offense. Langley is a good DB but Averett is the better athlete. So very different on any board based on their skills.

This..... Averett is very athletic and he's a smooth athlete. He'll be a fine CB. His leaping ability is nice to have for a CB.

SN: TW I'm hearing the CBs outside of Millner are not very good. I do personally hope that's the case. Also I'm hearing V.Sunseri is the starter at SS for you guys.

J Fulton and D Belue both looked great yesterday as well as Milliner. Actually not sure which of the 3 we be the 2 main ones now. There will not be a WR that can outrun Belue. Plus T Dixon played well the other JUCO AA we picked up. Lester, Vinnie, and Ha-Ha all looked great and I guess it will depend on which package we run and who plays where. Vinnie had 2 picks and a fumble recovery for 2 TDs yesterday.

Actually the one surprise for most is how well we looked at DB because that was the concern. Most of the articles that were out there after the game commented on it may not be the big concern most thought on D.

But our DL and LBs will be the best we have ever had at UA under Saban and that is with CJ Mosley not starting yesterday but on the 2nd team D. That is how deep we are there. J Williams tore it up at DT and is not just a plug. He will be the 1st DT we have had that can play every down no matter what the situation is.

What? Saban offered both. This is about fans making it out like they were leading for a player. Then he visits and leaves naming another school the leader and the fans them claiming they backed off on him when they have not.

I have never said UA lead for him, or atleast I do not think I have.

I just never understand why fans at other schools get concerned if a fan from another school is not excited about a recruit they may get.

Actually I did post a quote that he said UA lead for him back in March.

Does make you wonder why he names UA his leader and two weeks later UA is not a real consideration. So either Langley just was very excited after his visit and it ore off or UA backed off form some other reason like another DB just as good as him that knew was going to commit.

So Fulton looked good to you(I didn't see anything special watching him in coverage)? Also TW you've got to remember they are facing some average WRs. Belue looks fast but Saban better not put him on an island with Hunter or Rogers(he's too physical for him). We'll see how this team of yours comes together. Yeldon is a young star in the making. And Nico Johnson may end up as the best LB in the country this year. Jesse Williams looks pretty good but I still think if Sentimore was on your team he would be the best D-lineman on your team right now. Looks like a typical Saban team at Bama though. Run first offense with a physical front seven on defense. AJ McCarron looks the same and P.Sims is terrible at QB(bust).

Nico won't even be the best LB in the SEC. There is this guy named Jarvis Jones. Nico and CJ split time last year and 2nd string Gilliard had a better year than Nico. 2nd string Herrera had a better year than CJ.

If you are actually trying to say that UGA has a better LB corps than UA you need to stop drinking so much.

I am never look at our scrimmage O because it will not be the same come fall. Saban never shows anything in the spring. But I will say AJ look very good especially keeping his composure after a few mistakes. Something last year he did not do well with early in the season. Great OL with the deepest our RB group has ever been and alot of targets for AJ to throw to. With our OL he will have all the time in the world.

In regards to Sims he actually look far better than anyone thought he would considering that is the first time he has thrown the ball all spring. He has been nursing an injury and has not practiced or participated in the spring at all. On Friday when they released the rosters the article said Sims would not play.

On D I have no concerns. We have heard now for 3 years straight how our DBs are going to be concern and it has yet been an issue. Plus this will be the best front 7 Saban has put on the field. Our D will be more athletic and faster than any team before. So even if our DBs may be concern(which I am not) a team better be able to allow their QB time to throw or it will not matter.

I will say this, that this is the first time after watching the spring game I am confident about our team and their chances going into the fall moreso than any other season under Saban. The only concern I have now is our schedule, but the team may be the best all around team Saban has put on the field.

Jarvis Jones had as many sacks as Nico, CJ, Upshaw and Hightower combined last year. He led the SEC in sacks and tackles for loss. He was a first team All American and outside of Tuscaloosa, considered the best LB in the SEC. Gilliard as 2nd string had a better year than both guys you have returning.

Jones 70 tackles, 19.5 TFL and 13.5 sacks
Gilliard 65 tackles, 7.0 TFL and 2.0 sacks
Tree played in 8 games 52 tackles, 7.5 TFL and 3.0 sacks
Herrera 37 tackles, 3.0 TFL and no sacks
Washington 17 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks
Robinson 47 tackles, 6.5 TFL and 1.5 sacks

and Bama is returning
Johnson 47 tackles, 6.5 TFL and 1.5 sacks
Mosley 37 tackles, 4.5 TFL and 2.0 sacks
DePriest 25 tackles, 1.5 TFL and 0 sacks
That is the only players at LB that had any significant stats that are coming back.
So do I think the 6 I listed for Georgia are better. Yea not only do I think it, they have proven it on the field. You just need to take off your homer glasses. I don't think Bama has 2 LBs on their team as good as Jarvis and Tree. Show me where those 3 guys and 3 other guys at Bama with very little playing time are better than the 6 I listed, returning for Georgia. Even Robinson, who is Georgia's 4th or 5th best returning LB had the exact same stats as your best returning LB. If we put Harris in there. Then with Hightower, Upshaw, Harris and Mosley and Nico splitting time. Jarvis had as many sacks by himself than Alabama's entire starting LB corp last year.
