2025 Elijah Griffin 5* DT from Savannah, GA

[Stylie]

He ain’t leaving Georgia

Why?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Backup the Brinks truck and make him an offer he can't refuse.

Savannah is pretty different than a lot of Georgia, and there isn’t a quick and easy way to Athens from there either. Not sure how much in-state would matter here.

Savannah kids are usually Clemson bound.

It’s probably UGA but I tell you we going to make him think but I get it home is home. Don’t sleep on us here we making this **** a battle but they have the edge cause of family (pause)

 

[HurricanePhilly]

Yeah it’s going to be close. Like others have said I’ve learned during my 6 years in Savannah it’s not a sea of red. It’s actually a lot of Georgia Southern fans (since it’s close) who almost want to block UGa out. A ton of transplants too so it’s northerners like myself, SC, Fl, and some TX/Bama too as Hyundai apparently apparently recruiting their for their new plant here.

He went to SC to take his family to CA. So if he commits there I’d put him on flip watch the minute he commits. As it gets closer I’ll see if the S&C guy I know can fill me in on a bit more.

They said that his family is UGA fans on Donnos YT podcast

You had me at 5 stars

Why?

Not tryin to speak for him but history shows its really, really tough to pull top linemen out of SEC country.

Mario just pulled a top corner out of Louisiana and has broken plenty of recruiting rules already so I wouldn't count him out personally.

 

[IbzRlz]

Well, well, well...for the naysayers, think Scott, Lightfoot and Blount. This one will come down to December and I see the Scott situation all over gain and Griffin picking the Canes

 

[SaiyaMan305]

Make him an offer he will have to really mull over. Something similar to david stone where he is seriously struggling on choosing when the time comes.

Yea man only chance is if we get to the playoffs and show significant improvement from last year, but if we do it's fair game

In fairness, I think Stone's dilemma was more about going against his families wishes that didn't want him at OU than our offer being so much more than OU's. In any event, I agree make Griffin an offer that blows UGA out of the water

Is it though? Georgia didn’t sign any top DL from Georgia for 2023 and only about 2 of the top 10 last cycle.

Nobody:

Dennis Smith soon on X:

 

[Braduhley]

Maybe his parents don't want him to be arrested for racing and will steer him away from UGA.
