To no one’s surprise, the NCAA announced moar dead period.
Obviously, that can’t be helped, but you know it’s got to be frustrating for the guy whose program spent more money on recruiting than anyone else in the known universe not to be able to get face to face meetings. Meanwhile, Jeremy Pruitt is out there taking verbal commitments like a Varsity cashier in the middle of lunch hour.
It’s not the end of the world, of course. As Seth Emerson ($$) points out, Kirby is certainly holding his own.
Georgia is still in good position, good enough that it got a commitment from outside linebacker Chaz Chambliss — a four-star ranked No. 255 overall in the 247Sports Composite. Georgia is in the running for a number of five-stars, including many from out-of-state, such as safety James Williams from south Florida.
It helps that he operates in the talent rich environment that is the state of Georgia. Six of the eight commitments from the class of 2021 are in state kids. They’re good enough that the Dawgs currently sit fourth in the SEC in the Sports247 Composite, with the highest average score in the conference.
It’s going to be something to see when the dead period comes to a close. Can you spend the equivalent of a year’s worth of a recruiting budget in a month?

Do I have to spend it on recruiting? 😉

We’re still loaded with underclassmen. We could spend some of that free time convincing a few of our studs to stay for their senior year instead of turning pro early.

Yep. Ate at the downtown V a couple of weeks ago. You have to order from your car and they bring it to you.

It’s gotten pretty expensive. Lunch for two ran twenty bucks.

I don’t understand extending this dead period? Why not leave it to conferences…all of the Country is not the same.

I understand the caution but this does seem extreme. Meet in open spaces, wear masks, and gloves. Only issue I see is travel. Autos are fine/simple, but airplanes are tricky. I could see them requiring the coaches to travel via air if that is the necessary transportation. Moving the needle to end of July accomplishes nothing, please tell me what will be different. Just another dumb rule picked out of the air with no logic behind it. NCAA acting like politicians, scientists, and medical “gurus”.
