JFDTiger80 790 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I understand WIlliams had a great visit to UGA this past weekend. Apparently, Rocker wants him bad. Some people are predicting Williams to UGA, just like that. Interesting. I hope we can still pull him in. They worked him hard on how he will fit into their new 4-3 defense.

AEAugirl 9,633 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I don't think UGA will be running a 4-3.....they have the personel for the 3-4 and Pruitt is a 3-4 guy. He ran a different defense at FSU out of necessity with the personel they had on campus (for the 4-3). He has stated he would be moving them to a 3-4 base.

Umm, didn't Georgia switch to a 3-4 either two or three years ago? I believe they did, and their new DC if anything is talking about using both 3-4 and 4-3 looks at times, which I expect he'll do.

PCBAuburnaFan 1 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hybrid defenses are becoming a trend in my opinion.

AubTiger14 0 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 According to a Clemson board, the time change was so he could be on ESPNU. Not sure. UGA seems to be trending hard on Williams right now. It appears at the least they will make it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't think that a college coach would tell some impressionable HS kid whatever he thought it would take to get the guy to sign on? Not saying that the UGA coach is necessarily lying but all of these guys are experts at telling the kids what they want to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU Counsel 64 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm sure some coaches stretch the truth at times, but I think the info in that chain of replies is off. My point was twofold...that UGA switched to the 3-4 years earlier (thus negating the factual claim) and that we shouldn't assume everyone is a liar, any more so then they should assume that our coaches lie.

GaTigerFan 0 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 For anyone interested.... Andrew Williams will be on Fox Sports South tonight at 10:00 ET / 9:00 CT. Elisha Shaw will be on also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches have 1 call the next 2 days. On NSD coaches have unlimited calls Link (bottom of page 4) so it very well could be a battle with Williams announcing at 1 AU time.

I understand that...but different coach then....just saying that any kid who depends too much on what a coach will tell him about his future, what role he will play, what defense, etc...can be in for a disappointment. How many kids signed with AU a few years ago expected to be playing pro-set offense in 2012...or this past season playing a 4-2-5 and changing positions ? Coaches don't necessarily lie...but situations change and coaches change. Better if the recruit makes his choice based on the school (and not the coach).... and is agreeable to play where it helps the team the most.

AubTiger14 0 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Guy who runs the Forum on the Clemson Insider said he spoke with some sources Tuesday Morning (today), and the consensus was Williams was headed to Auburn. Claimed early playing time was a big reason. However, he did not mention Georgia at all, and there has been a lot of buzz about UGA closing fast. Don't think we are out of the woods yet or anything, but it at least appears Clemson is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,107 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 PT should be a factor. As I said in the Kennion thread, we have four scholarship DEs in the spring. Lambert, Williams, Kennion, and Thornton are walking into an open door; that's especially true if you consider two of the four guys available in spring have almost zero experience (Harrell and President).

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Daniel moving back to DE would be a complete reversal of course. Coach Johnson has said a number of times that he sees him as a DT, and he played DT almost exclusively the second half of last season. The best comp for the kind of DT Daniel could become is Jay Ratliff. Lean but strong. Explosve and disruptive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (4 current + 4 signees) - 2 RS 2 DE spots = 3 deep Sounds spot on to me, especially with Owens being a senior and Lambert coming from juco. I know he's got 3 to play 2, but he could theoretically head on to greener pastures sooner rather than later (and let's hope he plays well enough to give himself that chance).
