2020 Recruiting

This is a good PWO pickup. He spent most of his senior year injured. I’ve seen him play a few times in person and he’s a pretty good football player who would have probably been somewhere on scholarship if not for senior season injuries.

This is a good article on his background. It looks like he will probably play safety.

Two categories of PWO's. One, like kickers or talented injured players, are people who are expected to compete to earn a scholarship when one is just not offered. The other is for people who make the team better even if they are not on the field. Always good when they fill both categories.

Well...the truth is that this is what it should be like year in and year out. We won't get pats on the backs from others until we start stringing years of great recruiting in a row.

We see a different class because we've watched the film. Our guys can ball, our coaches can coach well.

We will get coverage when we go outside what should be our typical norm.



Also, everyone needs to go check out where VPISU landed on the recruiting ratings then go tell your VPISU friends.

If sending that information to the NCAA made a player in the State of Georgia ineligible, the whistle blower would be liable for a year in prison, a $5,000 fine, and can be sued civilly by the impacted school per the Todd Gurley law.

Where do you get this from? That's not what the Todd Gurley law does. OCGA 20-2-318 gives colleges a cause of action against anyone who engages in activities which result in student-athlete ineligibility (like soliciting paid autographs, as happened to Gurley).

If anyone has any actual knowledge, as opposed to internet "everyone knows" blather, about UGA paying kids to sign with them, you should most definitely go public. It is actually a criminal misdemeanor in Georgia to pay athletes to pick a certain school. (OCGA 20-2-317) You can get Kirby locked up.

Athens Clarke County Correctional Facility might have to release one of his players to make room for him. Of course, when he’s in there it may be fertile recruiting grounds for him.

"Everyone knew" what was going on long before the Jan Kemp trial too. Just saying

Section 1.b.1 makes it clear that taking action that makes a student athlete ineligible is illegal.
Click to expand...
(b.1) No person shall enter into or solicit directly or through an agent a transaction with
37 a student-athlete if such person has knowledge that the transaction would likely be cause
38 for the student-athlete to permanently or temporarily lose athletic scholarship eligibility,
39 the ability to participate on an intercollegiate athletic team, or the ability to participate in
40 one or more intercollegiate sporting competitions as sanctioned by a national association
41 for the promotion and regulation of intercollegiate athletics, by an athletic conference or
42 other sanctioning body, or by the institution of postsecondary education itself as a
43 reasonable self-imposed disciplinary action taken by such institution to mitigate sanctions
44 likely to be imposed by such organizations as a result of such transaction or as a violation
45 of such institution's own rules

No hell it does not. That's the text of 1.b.1 right there. It makes it illegal for the AGENT to solicit the transaction with the student. It says nothing about someone turning in said agent.

I have heard of other Tech fans/people in the csra, I've never actually seen any.


I am kidding, just barely though.

Your reading conflicts with the other code section I cited, as well as the legislative history of the statute, as well as common sense. Do you know of any example of somebody somewhere in Georgia sharing your interpretation?

We won't know until someone is prosecuted and a court rules. But that's the problem with passing stupid laws. Gurley knew what he was doing was wrong and he'd be suspended, but of course we can't blame him...

Wonder how that fits into the time that the GT guy was arrested for computer crimes because he added a calendar entry to a UGA friend's Outlook.

If a GT guy was in a 5-mile radius when a UGA player got in trouble, you can be sure the state would prosecute him to the fullest.
