I still don't understand how we took Weldon over James Blackman outside the connection Richt has with Weldon's father, I can not really see one thing that Weldon does better than Blackmon to be honest. Same with Dykstra and Hillery over T Slaton. My thing is you know the most about Slaton so how in the world as a head coach and former head coach you do not use it to your advantage and come up with a game plan to land Slaton. Paradise proved what I have been saying comparing Slaton to Leatherwood. Slaton is used to going up against quick twitch DEs everyday. All he needs is a weight room. Leatherwood is good and I like his potential long term better than Slaton but right now Slaton is better IMO. Also I would put Tony Gray and Caleb Chandler over Hillery. I am curious to see what Richt does with this DB class and OL class, IMO, for the DB class he should have hit transfers hard Jackson, Bethel, Smith, Cobb, to ease the pain off DB recruiting this cycle and next year depth. Relying on next year DBs on our current roster makes me nervous.

They want people that take football to the heart...They are cooling on Jordan Wright and Slaton because the staff feels like they don't have a strong passion for football, and that they care a bit too much about basketball.

I hear what your saying but I am not following your logic and neither are coaches like Harbaugh. My thing is even knowing the kid likes basketball, why not use it to our advantage, other coaches will. Its a ton of first round picks that played basketball in college and also played AAU. DJ Matthews is also a good BBall player but that does not mean he is not focused on football as well.

I sort of agree with you. These basketball guys frequently end up being studs on the field. Given the Jimmy Graham experience, we should know this more than most programs.

On the other hand, we only got one year out of Graham.

Charlie Ward is another good example- Heisman Trophy winner under Richt and 1st pick in the NBA...

Most of those were TE's in football where the skillset actually translates. Not so much with a DE especially when you factor in gaining weight. The appeal of guaranteed contracts in the NBA combined with the medical benefit of not getting multiple concussions and CTE is also a major factor for any kid that's getting good advice.

I get the feeling Rumph knows Slaton and what makes him tick or not tick better than the clowns on here.

All you guys see is a big highly rated guy. Ever get the feeling Rumph knows more about him than you do and that he might have clued Searels and Richt in? You need dirty dogs in the trenches. The other teams will have guys as big as Slaton.

If Rumph really thought Slaton would be a star at this level don't you think we'd be recruiting him hard?

 

[gogeta4]

i dont think Slaton has much interest in us..and he has no chance of going div 1 in basketball at his size.

I like Slaton and think he is a beast..they probably just know he isn't coming.

Im with you on the point about the difference between basketball players who play TE vs DE, it's a much tougher situation. But the NBA guaranteed contract argument is weak because of the sizes of the work force - guys have a better chance of making the NFL than NBA. You could counter with overseas basketball but that gets murky and a lot of those contracts aren't guaranteed.

There's another kid coming up in 2019 named Blake Hinson who's the brother or Evan Hinson a TE/BB recruit we cooled on last year for something similar. Supposedly the younger brother is even more talented but def looks like a basketball lean. I wonder if Coach L is on him. Currently he's unrated in football but has a crystal ball to us from the owner of 247 for football.

 

[imurcane]

..just don't get a good feeling about henderson. he already de-committed and then the staff talked him out of it. not good if he is continuing with this nonsense.

I know this can mean absolutely nothing but I saw him this morning at a Dunkin donuts and he had UM bands on his wrists. And then I felt like a creep for even recognizing him. Btw he's a lot bigger than what I thought, his 40 times are pretty crazy for his size.

True but it's like Obama running around with a bible and saying he is a christian and loves America.

Obama goes to church. And I think I speak for us all when I say we are better off today than 10 years ago.

You're a mod?

indeed

Blake decided he's gonna focus on basketball this year. No football for him this season he said.

Who are the "we' that you are referring to? The only ones that I know that are better off are the free loading,Obama phone,welfare leeches that have been getting all their **** for free for the last 8 years at the expense of hard working,tax paying Americans.

And we call those "free loaders" American multinational corporations who pay nowhere near the "corporate" tax rate...

Some of them pay negative tax rates....(they end up with tax credits)....

Or the "too-big-to-fail" companies that exist in our "free-market" economy (it's actually a neo-liberal state capitalist economy, but who's keeping track)...

And then there are the super-rich who are often paying next to nothing in taxes as well....

Yes, I do know who the free loaders are in the US and I've known it for a long, long time....

On the other hand, the vast majority of Americans continue to see their relative wealth decline or remain stagnant as it has since the 1960s.....

Yes this really is comical. The numbers are staggering. Apparently our budget is about 3.8 trillion. In FY 2016 total US government spending on welfare — federal, state, and local — is “guesstimated” to be $1,084 billion, including $610 billion for Medicaid, and $474 billion in other welfare.

That was a simple google search. I don't care to make sure it is correct to the penny. I actually want to try and lessen the dollars going to welfare. There is a number that we will never go below. Im sorry but if I go smoke crack, get hooked, turn to a life of crime, and become incarcerated that is a cost, and its not considered welfare. Oh by the way, I ****ed this chick because ******* her beat Rosy Palmer and Bubba in prison. I didn't bother to wrap up and now junior is here. Don't expect me to care for junior bc Ill be back in prison. So the government is either going to step up, or junior won't have health care or food to eat at school. Mind you this is junior's problem, but not his fault. That will never go away. Do you suggest we sterilize people? Do you suggest kids go hungry or without care? And by the way, people on welfare aren't living the good life.

Welfare is a drop in the bucket of our budget. Look for Trump if elected to start a drug testing business and start requiring welfare recipients to be drug testing . . . probably doubling the welfare bill.
