4-star 2018 CB from Georgia
eat dawg shit Kirby
was thinking the same thing
while I endorse this comment, I can't help but think he probably doesn't care much. At .9360, Sims is the 14th highest ranked kid in GA. For comparison, he would be second in Michigan. Michigan's 14th ranked kid has a score of .8529 and 639th in the country. In short, Georgia is loaded with talent.
EDIT: of the 31 composite 4 stars in the state of GA, 2 have committed to UM, 0 to Georgia. 11 have committed out of state. Last year, there were 33 4 stars, and UGA landed 16 of them. It's obviously early, but the trend doesn't look good for Kirby.
Georgia bagmen must have blown their 2018 warchest on coke n' whores.
Ahh, The Miami Hurricanes strategy I see.
Speaking of guys who didn't commit to Alabama, how is Bama's recruiting off to such a slow start this year? Only four guys, like us, but two of them are three stars? Shouldn't they already have 20 of the top 100 guys at this point?
you read it here first

You mean TMU?
Total Mileage Unknown.
My group does a fair amount of testing at Texas A&M University's cyclotron. We always call it TAMU.
My son got his doctorate in nuclear chemistry there and went to tamu because of the cyclotron.
Georgia wasn't in it...
But Kirby can still eat dog shit along with Malzahn, if that works?
I love me some Georgia talent!
I think it's telling that Chris Partridge is the main recruiter in Georgia. One of the most underrated staff hirings in America.
But I thought I heard the sole reason for his hire was to get Rashan Gary.
It was. They are convincing each of these kids that they are actually Rashan Gary. It's a pretty effective recruiting tactic.
and the rest would have been gravy. It's nice that Partridge is delivering gravy consistently. Like a train of it.
Partridge's performance it making it seem that this is why he was hired and Gary was the gravy.
What they didn't know was that it was to get not just Rashan Gary but in fact all the recruits.
Well... also maybe some back-loaded compensation for Peppers
Nice to get back to some good recruiting news that helps turn the page to the 2017-18 seasons for Football and Basketball.
Huge pickup, #1 target in our defensive backfield. Got to love it.
Now there's a name I haven't seen in awhile...
#FenceThePeachOrchard
Careful of the Civil War reference.
How about #FenceThePeachState?
No need to avoid Civil War references.
Georgia seems like it's gonna get pillaged over the next few years.
Zero progress on the football field will do that to a program.
I still don't understand why any of that elite talent won't attend GA Tech.
know the two schools. UGA = campus setting in small town outside Atlanta, lots of SEC type coeds, pretty high end and normal college exprience. GT = urban campus in Midtown Atlanta, lots of engineering types, limited pickings from a coed standpoint and a more cerebral college exerience overall. It depends on what you are looking for, but the fun, college college experience is much more in play at UGA.
Yet a school like Stanford still lands elite prospects, with greater competition amongst in-state rivals.
As is, GT's football program (loaded with 2* and 3* athletes) is currently better than UGA's (loaded with 4* and 5* star athletes). It seems to me GT lacks something else along the lines of recruiting.
It's not that I don't "know the two schools" (not that I attended both) but the fact they have ZERO elite, in-state talent on their roster as of late is puzzling.
Stanford and GT differ greatly. Stanford is 48% women undergrad, whereas GTech is 35%. Stanford has a wide variety of non-engineering majors, GTech very few. Stanford is much more prestigous in a much more scenic location.
Lastly, all the big name colleges in CA are in the Pac-12. The SEC is much more engrained in the culture of southern states like Georgia than the ACC is.
How many elite prospects want to run the triple option?
UGA or other SEC schools. Although from what I've heard that was mostly a parental driven decision for him.
Paul Johnson's triple-option is a huge detractor too. It's so far removed from the pro game that it hurts GA Tech players NFL stock a lot. It also makes it a lot harder to recruit any decent QB or WRs when you throw five times a game.
Right, the style doesn't necessarily translate well for all positions at the next level, but, it still baffles me how they haven't even snagged one recent elite prospect from their own state, after moderate success with much lesser talent, over the last 10 years.
True, the system could be the underlying detractor. I'm not sure Calvin Johnson, for example, would have played at GT under Paul Johnson or not.
Calvin Johnson caught balls thrown by Reggie Ball when he was at GT. Pretty sure a triple option QB couldn't be much worse.
Partridged over the next few years???
he certainly knows how to adapt his recruiting. Georgia coach oughta be taking notes.
under Richt too. That was a large part of the frustration towards him. UGA missed out on all 4 instate five stars in 2013.
GA pipeline..who knew?
Boo yah!
Great kid.
So his family are literally... "The Sims"? Awesome...
I'm sure he is distraught that his uncle Phil was displaced by a washed up Dallas QB.
40 offers. 6'2"? I'm excited about this one!
Go Blue! Good size for a CB. Nice pull for Mr. Partridge!
Oh, I think I like this new Georgia thing. A lot.
General Sherman ain't got nothing on our General. Look out GA! Hey Kirby, don't poke the bear!
