One of the more depressing podcast I've heard thus far. Regarding DJ...I told ya'll I didn't trust his commitment. I told [MENTION=4841]The Franchise[/MENTION] that if this kid is picking us b/c his favorite shoe is Adidas and we're sponsored by Adidas, be weary.
I saw him in Sac several weeks ago and I had an opportunity to see Najee Harris. I'll be completely honest, I have no idea what competition is out there in Sac, b/c Sac is not really known for football prowess (you have to come further South in the Yay to see top teams)...but he looked good and I hope he stays in this class. He's so fast off the snap at his size and he has grown man strength right now. But it wouldn't surprise if he decommits. Out of all the commitments, he was the one I felt least comfortable with.
With all that being said, if we don't close strong in Richt's first full year as a coach, I'll be the most bitter I've been in the recruiting game. Every 1st year coach gets first year love, so if we don't get that bump in year 1, I'm going to be stupid sour. But it's not just b/c of the first year love, it's also b/c like [MENTION=3894]Peter Ariz[/MENTION] said, that 0-4 in October hurt us and there was no reason why we should've been 0-4 in October. 2-2 max, but 3-1 realistically.
