My concern with Grimes is that no one professes him to be a great recruiter. I’m ready to hire a coach who is described as a relentless and tireless recruiter. We have some of those, but the staffs at UAT and now UGA seem to have more. If we are going to keep up, we need a more tenacious closer than JG. Really hard to find on the OL. Not many of those exist. Our best chance while JB is here is he find who he likes & we send guys like Porter & Horton after them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he did he would be a Project. Potential is nice but potential without experience is a project. That said for the future it could be very good.

milehighfan 1,236 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I thought David Carr would be a force for us on the OL. Is there any chance of him working his way up to significant playing time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Grimes did recruit Kim and Carr they both should be tickled s--tless he is coming back on staff. But, that's just one man's opinion.

It goes to show Herb Hand probably lacked an eye for talent and development. I hope we snag another lineman, but I'm excited to see Grimes unleash the offensive line's full potential. Herb never could seem to figure out his line configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 If a JUCO OL pops up on radar besides Anderson, could we still sign them? Maybe, we get a surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you like our chances with Caleb Johnson? From what I am reading, he has a lot of upside. If by chance we luck out and get him and Langham, this would be great.

Horton, Harrell, Kim, Carr and Sharp are all Grimes guys. We were pretty excited about that class at the time and Harrell and Horton have made good for sure.

How does Kim flopping suggest anything about Hand? If anything the much more realistic scenario is that Grimes made the error in judgement, considering that he's the one who recruited and signed the kid who can't get on the field.
