OFFICIAL 2019 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON THREAD

Yikes, thought that one was pretty much a gimme. Two scholarships QBs right now and Travis has to apply for a waiver, right?

Yep. TQBH I don't fault any QB for opting to not play behind that OL. Coaches blew this recruitment in the last week or so.

Year 2 for WT goes as the OL goes
 
The recruting dominoes that fall are always interesting. Saw this re: Nakobe Dean and Lakia Henry (who was thought to be heading to Arky but ended up at Ole Miss)

Here's a long story where hilarity and irony intersect:

Nakobe Dean called and committed to the Ole Miss coaches the night before the early signing period and then called the other schools recruiting him including Georgia to let them know he's signing with OM. Dean's brother Nikolas, a current walk on TE at Ole Miss was guaranteed a scholarship if Dean signed with OM. Although his commitment ceremony at his high school was at 3pm, (this would end up being important) he said he would send his NLI in the morning by 9am. Dean's teammate a DB named Raydar Jones was committed to LSU but word began to leak that night that he was likely going to flip to Ole Miss. Prevailing thought was that if Dean signed with Ole Miss so would Jones, but if Dean went elsewhere he'd sign with LSU. Meanwhile, Ole Miss had a conditional commitment from an inside linebacker out of Miami named Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste. Jean-Baptiste, a UCF commit, understood that if we got Dean then we would be full at ILB but if Dean signed elsewhere we would accept his commitment on signing day. Thing was, Jean-Baptiste's signing ceremony was at 7:30am eastern time. The Ole Miss coaches made Dean swear he was signing with OM because if for any reason he didn't they'd lose their Plan B too. He swore he was so they called Jean-Baptiste that night and told him they're getting Dean and are full at inside LB.

The next morning at 6:30am central time Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste signed his NLI with UCF. Ole Miss fans (including myself) took this as confirmation Dean had sent in his NLI to Ole Miss because how could they let plan B go without holding Dean’s signed NLI? By 8am Ole Miss coaches hadn’t heard from Dean so they called him and were advised that all calls/correspondence should go through his father in Florida now. The next few hours there were tons of rumors flying around but the prevailing thought was there was a behind the scenes booster battle between Ole Miss and Georgia. Around 11am Dean and his family stopped returning Ole Miss’s calls. Around 12pm word leaked that Raydar Jones was signing with LSU and the writing was on the wall. By 1pm both Ole Miss and Georgia boards reported Dean was signing with Georgia and he committed and signed with Georgia at his ceremony at 3pm.

This is important because not only did Ole Miss not get Dean, he screwed them out of getting their plan B inside linebacker. This left OM with an opening at Inside Linebacker in the February signing period and presumably a considerable amount to spend on one. Enter Lakia Henry.

TD;DR: Blame Nakobe Dean and Georgia for Arkansas losing Henry. Fin.

Bag game so crazy in the SEC that some of the biggest culprits are out here openly complaining about it. :rofl: Shoutout to Pat Peterson.
 

Dropping bags as part of the game. Every decent school does it.

Auburn fans and players are heated about Pickens flippingto Georgia.
 
The main handler for the Amite kids is a guy out there who owns/runs a barbershop

He’s the reason that Bama got the kid from 2 years ago (who’s name escapes me now) that scored the winning TD in the NCG

O is just tight that it happening in his own backyard and that they aren’t as biased towards LSU as other programs in the state are

This has got to be the year that UGA is selling, no? Fromm can bounce after this year and there is no QB who is ready to play that is waiting in the wings. Unfortunately Nick Saban awaits in the conference title game again.

From the start they were talking about 2019. They swore 2017 was 2 years ahead of schedule and we were fools to think that losing the NCG or the 2018 SEC CG meant anything because it was always about getting to 2019 where Kirby’s recruits would be upper class men. Well, that time is here.

And, the jokes are gonna be glorious.
