What is that, like, Class of ’26? Dan Mullen’s just gonna wait until he hits the transfer portal in 2028.

Class of 25 if he is an 8th grader. My 7th grader is a 26.

You say that, but Clemson jumped on Deshaun Watson in the 9th grade and we did not. And people have lost their shit about it for years.

I knew they were recruiting Deshaun early, but I didn’t think they offered him until his junior year?

I blame you, Got Cowdog. Watson was in your area of influence.

Deshaun’s friend-girl and my son’s friend-girl were best buddies, so they ended up on a couple of double dates and a homecoming dance. Super nice kid, but I really didn’t think he was big enough for the SEC.

Going to Clemson and the ACC was a smart play for Watson and that sailor named Lawrence. Less chance of getting creamed like a tater and an almost guaranteed shot at the playoffs.

Except for the fact that until Watson arrived, Clemsoning was a thing. Hell, the Greater Anderson Cow College Tiggers Clemsoned in his first game in Athens when we ran them literally and figuratively out of Athens.
We were fortunate that Dabo only gave Watson the planned drives. After his TD pass, I thought “Oh, $#!+, we’ve missed big time.”

Offering a thirteen year old is a bit creepy. But that’s the way of the world now. I’m glad to see Kirby is on the mutha.

I have previously mentioned that my 17 year old son is a D1 football prospect. He currently has 12 offers from mostly Power 5 schools (Not Georgia, yet, but we are holding out hope!!!!!). In any event, having now attended more than 65,214 football camps, showcases, and combines, I can personally attest to the simultaneous absurdity and wisdom of extending a college football scholarship offer to a 13-14 year old kid. The fact is, in football, sometimes it’s so obvious the kid has what it takes that a school could offer a 10 year old. As is perhaps obvious to this crowd, it’s a non-commitable offer. If the kid flops the school is out absolutely nothing by pulling the offer. So, in reality, it is no offer at all or just an offer to talk with coaches some more – most likely more than the kid will ever want to. I wish the boy well and pray he has a father with a backbone and some measure of wisdom. Now living through it, I am glad for all the time I spent intentionally following recruiting and learning the game over the last several years and am very grateful for the knowledge of our high school’s recruiting coordinator. Without people like that, the chances for landing at the right school decrease dramatically perhaps especially if you are a highly coveted recruit like this very young man.
