NorthGATiger 1,801 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Get Holland, Carlton Davis, and any other eligible players to come back for another year. This is very important. No inside info but I see Davis and Holland leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug3020 842 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I agree. Davis is gone. I don’t see a reason for Holland to return outside of my own selfishness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJCrawford 1,558 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I have to say tho, if I’m holland and I’m first round (no idea if he is) then I go. Just makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asa Martin. I could see him making an impact as a freshman. I’d also like to see Barrett put on some poundage. He was impressive this year.

j0hnnyRingo 1,368 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Keep on recruiting (as he was today) Keep the staff intact, but find someone that can do SOMETHING, ANYTHING to improve our Special Teams. Keep those who are on the fence about declaring to stay and have a SPECIAL 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,790 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 First off, those guys aren't staying. Second off, it is a completely amateur level move for a program of our caliber to go around begging highly regarded Juniors to come back in 2017. This isn't what they do at Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, or any other elite program. In fact, part of the pitch at Alabama is literally the expectation that the recruit will be 3-and-done: come on, win some s***, get drafted in the 1st round as a Junior. The days of players coming back for their Senior years when they have ~1st round draft grades is pretty much over. These guys are all now aware that a football career is ridiculously short and that it makes no sense playing a year for free when you can be getting paid in the NFL and working closer towards a second contract.

mom2kid 216 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I think other than needing a solid special teams coach he and Chip need to evaluate every coach on O. Chip came in alone and had no say on his staff. Gus and Chip need to work together to form the best staff possible. Any chance we can lure Del McGee home? We have missed on elite recruits who have chosen to go to our two rivals. What is it going to take to bring in the 5* talent? I don’t see us winning the SEC and jumping UAT and UGA untill we do. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle1983 2,052 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 No way i'm staying if i'm Holland. First thing Gus needs to do is tell Chip to develop a REAL passing attack and let him and him alone do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? So Chubb and Sony did not come back to play for UGA. Who the hell was running all over us Saturday night? If Holland and Davis or KJ have 1st round grades then yeah I could not blame them.

That is literally the opposite of what saban preaches. He advises jr’s that if they aren’t given 1st round projections, he advises them to return. This just my opinion but if Holland and Davis return and make additional progress in their game, Holland will definitely be 1st and Davis might make it.

IronMan70 3,100 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Just keep good QB, OL and DL players coming. This is the first year in awhile we have had all 3 at the same time and the results were excellent, for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 9,416 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Best chance is to sit Carlton down and show how we can improve his skills to reduce his pass interference calls. For Holland, it is as simple as showing him that next year we can make him a first round guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
