'20 NV TE Darnell Washington (UGA commit)

[VolInDayton]

Kind of has a Crouch and Toto feel to it. People just throw stuff at the wall to see if anything sticks.

When people have no idea they pick the schools that pull the most high ranked recruits. They rationalize that since they landed other high ranked recruits they will land this guy also.

We got trolled. It's going to be UGA.

Nb4 the "didn't want him anyways" crowd.

Clueless

I normally just think you’re being negative but in this case, I would have to say you’re probably right . At the end of the day it boils down to we have to start winning big games. Winning 6 or 7 games a year simply will not land top recruits.

Roller coaster

 

[bignewt]

if he goes to uga, you know Neids threw everything he had at him so if he still decided athens was where he wanted to go, go on then.

Yup

No doubt we did everything we could. But the appeal of playing for championships is real.

Woah, never seen anyone willing to wager their complete likes porftolio before.

High stakes wager, no doubt.

We landed 2 5*'s and 2 more that had been ranked as 5*'s at some point during the cycle last year... off a 5-7 season

It's negavol garbage-posting to say possibly the nation's already #1 facilities (definitely will be after the Neyland renovations) and #5 paid coaching staff can't and shouldn't land top recruits

lol it's UGA he's playing to finish first in the East that's about it

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I think AV is correct. This recruitment seems similar to the Henry T recruitment last year.

Does it though? Did HT tweet cryptic messages to other recruits?

If he ultimately doesn't choose the University of Tennesse, then it will be in spite of our best efforts.

We have the reigning Recruiter of the Year and potential future position coach who has been his chief recruiter since he was a sophomore. The long term relationship is there, so I don't believe for one second that anyone is being trolled here. I suspect the staff knows precisely where we stand at this point, and if we don't sign this kid, no one will be blindsided. That's my intuition FWIW.

Kirby has feasted on a historically weak East. The boosters stepped up their game to go with Kirby’s good recruiting. I still don’t think they are a championship caliber team. He got there his second year with Richt’s players leading the way, plus two first round NFL running backs. Since then it’s been back to back SEC championship losses.

So why do you think he will pick GA then? Seems like LSU, OSU, Clemson or Ou would be at the top of his list then. Not UT or GA. Yet here we are.

The key to the HT recruitment was that Tosh Lupoi, the defensive coordinator at Alabama, HT's lead recruiter who was also Polynesian and actually went to HT's high school, left Alabama about 10-15 days before NSD. That totally changed the game, credit to our staff for prevailing once that game changer happened, but that's why we seemingly came out of nowhere in that recruitment.
