'20 NV TE Darnell Washington (UGA commit)

[jakez4ut]

Someone post a pic of an LOI?

not that i'm aware of. if so, that'd be cool.

DW did tweet a pen/paper emoji last night indicating he supposedl signed.

if you want to read that much in to a tweet, that is.

Not sure why this is hard to understand. An "insider" is simply someone who has access to information that others don't, usually through a relationship. That information is only as good as the originator. If I had a personal relationship with Moose, I would know what he allowed me to know, and even that would only be as good as what he himself knew. To the extent that a) the recruit isn't misleading Moose, and b) Moose was wiling to share what he knew, an insider could bring good info. I'm certain that more than one person on here has relationships with people who know more than the general public. Sometimes those people share info with the "insider". Less often, the info share is actually factual. There is a non-zero set of people who bring info others don't have. That info is neither 100% correct, nor 0% correct. Judge for yourself.

But we're at a point where the recruit has made clear he wants privacy. They're going to give it to him because they rely on relationships with recruits to do their jobs. If recruits don't think they can be trusted, it affects their job.

i didnt advocate for violation of his privacy, discussing him doesnt constitute that

Ahhh

I think it’s apparent he and Ringo signed with UGA. Oh well good luck DW. TE wasn’t the biggest need but still would have loved to sign him.

i think so too

But if they don't discuss him, nothing accidently slips out. Therefore, it's better to say nothing than something.

 

[BearCat204]

Good thing is that whether or not you believe secking or not has absolutely zilch to do with where DW will end up.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

well if he and Ringo signed with UGA, we can all put this thread on ignore then.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Even if he does go to UGA he’ll just be another 5 star that gets wasted there

 

[AirForceVol74]

i figured Hubbs would at least say that darnell has asked us to respect his wishes etc..... but to act like he doesnt exist or we didnt pursue this prospect just seems weird to me

Can someone ask over on VQ if he has at least signed his LOI yet? GBO!

 

[Weezer]

If he signed with UGA, then he signed with UGA. We'll be okay. I just think it's silly to concede that's a fact at this point.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Yeah, why go there? All those 5 star receivers are going to take your targets/catches. If he came here, he would be the star on offense and our biggest target....literally.

professional recruiting service journalists refuse to discuss recruits due to fear of slippage

[Pepe]

So I guess based on this, he signed with GA because no one has leaked anything yet...

I think a great indicator will be Nieds mood right now on social media... can someone check his tweets etc to see what he is saying?... if he is his regular self, then maybe we still have a shot, but if he is pissy, we lost him... TIFWIW

Pruitt's regime has been as leak free as I've ever seen

Or, professional recruiting service journalists(using that term very loosely) refuse to discuss a recruit because he's asked for privacy and they're honoring that request to keep up their image with all of the other recruits they cover.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I know he signed yesterday, I said he would even when he tweeted he wouldn’t. As for the latter, you know I’m not answering that, he has three good choices between UT, UA, and UGA. It’s his moment, he waited (and worked) this long to have it.

Then you just answered it. He signed with UGA.

 

[Dooby15]

Probably UGA. If it was Tenn I think it would have already leaked. Kirby doesn’t strike me as one who would honor his wishes to keep it quiet.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

The sooner you come to terms with the fact that there are very few if any insiders on this board will make your life much easier. IF an "insider" were informed of a signing then logic would suggest that he or she would have not been the only "insider" to be told said information. The chances of that leaking to just an anonymous message board is nearly zero.

"would have not been the only "insider" to be told said information. The chances of that leaking to just an anonymous message board is nearly zero."

I agree with these points but I'm not sure how your reply had anything to do with my post. I said an insider would probably risk consequences for leaking sensitive information. Doesn't matter how many more of them received the info, though I doubt it would be very many, would also receive the same repercussions.
Also, nowhere did I say I believed there were insiders on this board.

again youse guys would like me to have that position but thats not what i've said or advocated for. just that a top ten guy and radio silence is odd. one does not need to divulge his decision, they may not even know. if pruitt asked them to not even mention his name, that would be odd to me

 

[chargervol]

Lots of theories.. but at least it's being handled with our usual grace.

Addressing that last sentence, that does not seem out of character for Pruitt, imo.

 

[bignewt]

Not to mention we have the superior QB coming in by a long shot.

He will block 80% of the time. UGA does not utilize their TEs well at all imo. Nauta was supposed to be a first round talent. Who has been their best one since? Eli Wolf?

id be cool with it, even if he picked Ga, pruitt knows the future is unpredictable. I was just surprised we didnt get a sentence from Hubbs like.. "we still dont know on darnell washington. Been rumored he signed but wants to keep it private until january"
