re: Major Burns Just Committed to UGA

I know but just getting confirmation.

I sure hope we get a few more DB's added.

After the injury to Todd Harris, we were thin at Safety and young at CB.

That's a pretty silly thing to be scared about. Bama does this all the time.

No they don’t. It’s rare to process kids of this quality

So was Burns actually processed?

Sounds like it, to some extent. Vol said he was a surprise though, IIRC.

Baghdad is better than Baton Rouge

Not better enough to get destroyed by LSU and not win a national championshipship.

Do I have to hold onto my butt till Wednesday or February?

LSU was at 25 commits. If Burch drops LSU for cutting ties with a commit then Burch would have to be as dumb as a brick. How else can room be made for him???

The coaches know they're putting their own arse on the line by processing these kids. I would imagine they have reason to believe these moves are necessary and beneficial.

and don't forget there's Sage Ryan and Kaine Williams next year.

You recruit on a 2 or 3 year plan, with young DBs and some good one's coming, it just isn't a priority to land anyone but the top guys this year.

If faced with that predicament, you go for a position of greater need (this year) or lesser supply (next year).

ETA: case in point example...
Except for Case Ancelet gaining a lot of strength and mass, I don't see any OTs on the LA horizon next year. So do you let Burns sign and not wait on Crawford's grades knowing Williams (and others) are on the horizon? No, you let that spot stay free for a 'known surprise' or a Crawford (and see where grades end up).
