UGA Recruiting: Don’t Panic, Decommits Work in Our Favor 91% of the Time

Okay, let’s just start off with the truth. It isn’t any fun when recruits decommit from your school. It also isn’t something to panic over, especially in June and ESPECIALLY when Kirby Smart is your head coach. Starting with his first full recruiting class in 2017, the Dawgs have seen plenty of decommits. We’ve also seen plenty of them commit again. Kirby and company are also very good at replacing these decommits with another recruit with the saem or a higher ranking.

These are also unprecedented times with recruits finally able to visit again. Buckle up, because this will happen A LOT more this year. Just remember, the Dawgs usually come out on top.

Dawgs Will Get One Back

I said this yesterday on Bouie:

“We have seen the rumors of another decommit, and the most popular name to throw around is 5* DB Deyon Bouie. That’s probably because he visited A&M with Bear. Although he will continue to take his visits, including at least one more to A&M, I’m told Bouie will be a Dawg in the end.”

I was just told tonight after his decommitment that the last part still stands. As a matter of fact, he sounded even more confident about Bouie being a Dawg AFTER he decommitted.

SIDENOTE – More coming later, but look for good news this weekend (Not Bouie Related).

Bear and More Decommit Rumors

It wasn’t very surprising that 5* Bear Alexander decommitted from UGA, as it was always going to be a battle to keep him. The timing of it was somewhat surprising until you find out that we wanted him to stay longer and he instead went home and visited A&M. While Kirby and company do a pretty good job of getting decommits back in the fold, it’s hard to see that happening here. Not completely out of the question, as he will likely still visit, but it’ll be a steep uphill battle.

We have seen the rumors of another decommit, and the most popular name to throw around is 5* DB Deyon Bouie. That’s probably because he visited A&M with Bear. Although he will continue to take his visits, including at least one more to A&M, I’m told Bouie will be a Dawg in the end.

I’m also told the one to keep an eye on is 4* DB Marquis Groves-Killebrew. It looks as if we may be recruiting over him. I’d watch his official visit to Michigan.

OTHER NOTES

Walter Nolen will go until signing day. He’s ready to commit after every visit he takes.

I have not heard anything else on Brandon Turnage, but I did hear that the offer to Tulsa transfer DB Akayleb Evans stands whether Turnage stays or goes.

I’ve also been told that Aaron Bryant is VERY HIGH on our board and has been, even when Bear was committed
