A.J. Green Thread

[Gamecock_4life]

ok us landing Reid McCollum is a good thing and we all know that he plays along side A.J.....do you guys think the getting Reid may help our chances with A.J.....I feel that us having the #2 ranked WR in our home state AND our history with WRs we may have a shot.

[Forkcock]

No way we get Green. He's long gone to GA.

[Gamecock_4life]

i know he is committed to GA but there is still a long way to go with recruiting

[Forkcock]

From what I know, he probably won't qualify anyway.

[duckhuntersc]

not a chance we get him, he is 100% UGA bound. I have heard a rumor that he has some kind of learning disability, so he doesnt have to fully qualify. Not sure at all if its true, just what I have heard. Im not trying to cut the kid down at all.

[MBSpur]

^^^ how did you get so much Vcash?

[Gamecockfanatic4]

as far as I'm concerned he can go anywhere until the Ink is dry

[superstar90]

C. Matthews was a lock for UGA last season. But I do believe he is a 85% lock for uga. There are a few things that must happen for us to have a chance with him. One would be that we have to beat them this season. Two their WR still need to suck this upcoming season. I heard that his chance of qualifying has gone up a good bit here lately. Supposedly he did very well on his ACT not long ago. Which allows him to make a lower GPA. Plus they may try to file that D. Summers rule. I'm not sure what they call it, but something about a learning disability and the scores you have to have. Which I think is total BS.

[GopherHillBilly]

It definitely can't hurt!

[doccock]

He said he's been a lifelong UGA fan. I can't see him going anywhee except UGA or prep school if he doesn't qualify.
doc

[CockySpurrier85]

Ya'll just give up on AJ. I know him and hes gone to UGA. Hes been gone for a couple years now. lol But we're not gettin him. Plus hes pretty dumb. He does have a learning disabilty, but it won't help us. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have him at USC, but its not gonna happen. Hes a great athlete and I've got to see him in person. GOD what an athlete!!!! Oh well, u win some u lose some. I tried talkin Carlos Dunlap into pickin USC. U don't always get the ones u want.

Let me guess, you talked Quentin Richardson into coming here as well? every other recruit as well?

[Spur]

This is getting ridiculous.

First, AJ Green will NOT be called names on this site. If you want to talk about him maybe not qualifying, so be it. BUT STAY AWAY FROM INSULTS. I have had to delete several posts already from posters. Grow up.

Second, Green got a 21 on the ACT? I know people who don't have learning disabilities that did worse or just about the same. Doesn't seem like a non-intelligent kid to me.

Third, have we not learned our lesson going after kids who have committed to other schools? Anyone remember USC sites (thankfully not this one) after Geathers committed to UGA? Remember how many threads we had with people saying he wasnt that good, would NEVER qualify, ext...seriously, we even had some threads where so-called friends of his said he would never come close to qualifying....STOP...we don't know

Lastly, like several others have said...Green's committment to UGA is pretty solid. He isn't some kid that picked UGA early because he had a good trip. He has said numerous times that he grew up UGA, loved red/black, ext....

FYI, someone mentioned Matthews being a UGA lock....not at all....was rarely if ever thought of as going to UGA. Maybe you meant Geathers which I explained above.

[gamecockfandrew]

^^^ how did you get so much Vcash?

One of two things: (1) Vdrugs (2) betting on UNC

LOL! J/K!

[Rice Rice Baby]

sadly I think he is UGA bound

[gotrice?]

Sadly I'm 99.999999999999999% sure that he is going to UGA. Thats not 100% but if he comes to us I will be in complete and utter shock.

[kosimpsononthestop]

even if he is a uga committ, signing reid is only going to help us with a.j. reid will get the ball to any receiver not just a.j. and to the battery creek te who says a.j. isnt that good, how bad has summerville beaten you in your high school career?

[JBC1222]

I would love A.J. to be a gamecock but I just dont see that happening. Just like Reid always wanted to go to USC, A.J. always wanted to go to UGA. Even if we win the national championship this year and UGA goes 0-12 I still think he is a dog.

[donbgamecock]

It is always nice to get recruits that have shown they are elite high school performers. The fact is that it only shows their ability at that stage of sports and that they have a step up on many other lesser skilled high school players. AJ might be a heck of a HS reciever, but when he gets to college he will find out he is not the fastest, strongest, or have the best hands. There are only two HS attributes that you can bet on being college attributes - speed and size. Even with those two attributes, if a player can not learn to be an intelligent player and develop all the other skills that make great college players, they end up just being another great HS player who earned the opportunity to get a college education for playing sports.

I would be willing to put some of my Vcash on a bet that we have one or more recievers in our 08 class that will out perform AJ in college. I can make that bet and be assured of good odds know matter who I am betting against.

Go Cocks!

[Forkcock]

AJ is one hell of a player. He may end up being one of the best athletes to ever come out of this state. Football might not even be his best sport. I think that he has a basketball scholly offer from UNC. I've never heard anything negative about him personally and he conducts himself with class on the field. The cooments about him being dumb are way out of line. I would love to have him at USC but I wish him well no matter where he ends up.

[Freehawk]

This is getting ridiculous.

The year we win the national championship, I guaran-damn-tee you there will be players in SC who will go out of state. It just happens. We will never ever ever get them all, nobody ever does.

There is no such thing as a have to have recruit.

[rock23aj]

I NEVER lost to Scummerville in High School... 2-0

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

not going to get him - lets all move on pweese

[AmonRa777]

:bow: :bow: :bow: Thank goodness some fans see the real world....There is not a school in the country that keeps them all at home....Nebraska being the only school that comes close...Thats because being a Cornhusker is a religion in that state

[big cock fan]

well obviously reid knows how to throw a ball to a 6'4 athletic wr, and its a good thing bc with hills, barnes, saunders, and j cook we will have a few guys for him to throw to.

[CofC33]

rock23aj..not sure how you are 2-0 against summerville when battery creek has beaten summerville 1 time

[Brinkley_Bulldozer52]

A.j Green he is not so great I played against him in Summerville and yes he has speed and the abilty to make big play's but one thing he doesn't have is brain.:mad: Don't hate because Battery Creek sucks and we lay an ass whippin on yall every year :rotfl:

[gvillegmck]

Has green even named a second choice or is he georgia through and through.

[USCharleston]

Georgia is it. End of story. Nothing else to see here.

Let's focus on other WR recruits that we have a chance of landing. It's not like we don't have anyone coming in that can't do an adequate job (#1 WR recruiting class this year).

[willy]

No way we get Green. He's long gone to GA.



I wouldn't be to sure of that.

[gotrice?]

I wouldn't be to sure of that.

I would be. He is gone and no one has a chance at him anymore.

[Gucci Mane]

We all know that even though hes a longtme GA commit that SC has to be in the back of his mind because his own QB commited there , guys let it play out and lets see what kind magic spurrier can whip up

[gotrice?]

Not really he is a UGA fan and his QB coming here will have no effect on him due to that. The only way he doesn't go to UGA is if the UGA coaching staff basically blows it in an epic way.

[usc1]

I would be. He is gone and no one has a chance at him anymore.

Do you know him personally? If you don't, how can you be so sure?? Of course there's a chance we get him. Spurrier and his staff still contacts Green and he's in our backyard. There is also many positive recruiting techniques we can throw at him.

Ok guys there is no way in the world we can get aj green GOTRICE said so so its not going to happen:blah:


Cliff Matthews? I mean I know what your saying but look at previous happenings. Gary Gray bring back Memories? Just think about it.....

[gotrice?]

Cliff Matthews? I mean I know what your saying but look at previous happenings. Gary Gray bring back Memories? Just think about it.....

Trust me barring a complete miracle we might as well forget about AJ. Imagine you're a star WR and are a diehard USC fan and commit very early. If your QB goes to UGA are you tempted to follow him? I know I personally wouldn't be tempted to leave at all and thats the same situation that AJ is in now so he may have completely different reasoning than me but when it comes to being a diehard fan of a school your whole life if you get an offer you will be there.

[Gucci Mane]

Ok you have your situation.... heres mine...

Im a diehard gamecock fan but im from GA where my famiy is and EVERYONE of my highschool friends are going to instate schools. I can go play for a same caliber team about an hour away from home where the trip for my family is not so bad that they can come see me and i wont be home sick ( Zam Fredrick, Mike Jones, Devan Downey, etc) or i can go 3-4 hours away where i rarely see my family with the same caliber program here at home

THINK about it.. Its not over not matter what you say

[gotrice?]

Thats a pretty good situation if you actually think we are the same caliber as UGA. Until we win an SEC Title we aren't. To call a team that is not established as a power in the SEC the same caliber as a team that perenially competes for the SEC Title and has won a few in the past decade is just an insult to UGA. (I hate UGA more than any team in the SEC but I still see without question until we win we an SEC Title we aren't the same caliber of UT, UF, and UGA.) And to answer your question I would still be at USC without any hesitation (even though we are a lower caliber team) because thats the school I've always pictured myself at.

[Spur]

No one knows exactly what will happen.

My personal opinion is that Green is and has been a UGA lock for some time now.

With that said, you never know if he may change. But, I doubt it.

[CockyDemon13]

The only person that knows where A.J. Green is going is A.J. Green. Hell the boy may have verbally committed early just so there wasn't a big media circus over his recruitment

[Six Stars]

The only person that knows where A.J. Green is going is A.J. Green.

Even he probably doesnt know. Most of these early committers dont.

[CockyDemon13]

Even he probably doesnt know. Most of these early committers dont.

I rest my case. Would it be nice to have him? Yeah sure, but we will survive without him. Hell Dunlap was a Carolina lean for a good long while, then he qualified, his mom ran her mouth and he visited Florida and we lost a helluva football player to florida, but did it hurt us? nope.

[roosterrizk1]

Spurriers Offense is very tempting for a HS WR - including Green. Let UGa continue to focus on the run - which I think they will - and you could see this really turn. Richt has been telling Green that UGa is going to open up the pass this year with Stafford. IF Stafford struggles, which he very well could, and UGa's WR's continue to primarily block, this could really change in a hurry. Like I said, it has been told to Green that UGa will open up the pass this year, so IF they do not, USC will get into the mix with Green.

[FeartheSpur]

Reid may help us on this one

[ConwayGamecock]

I'm not sure how much weight McCollum coming to USC could pull on Green: if Green wanted to go wherever McCollum was going, you'd think he would've waited on committing. And judging by how quickly McCollum committed to USC after being offered by Spurrier (I think it was something like" Spurrier: Reid, we like how you've passed this weekend, and we'd like to off..McCollum: I'm committing!! :) ), you'd think that Green would already have a good indication that McCollum wanted to be a Gamecock.

So Green committing early to Georgia despite all this does not make me think he will either change his mind in favour of USC, or that McCollum will have any influence in making him change his mind. Unless this is all some ruse by Green to mislead Georgia and sign with USC in February, which I highly doubt.

I would prefer to just focus on the recruits that are committing to USC, or are not yet committed but have USC as favorites. That way, I won't get my hopes up for a player who never intended on coming here. If they change their minds, then it's all gravy!! But I got my hopes up a bit over Dunlap last season, and don't want that to happen anymore....

[cas68]

A.J. is going to uga. He is one kid. let us move on

[Spur]

Even he probably doesnt know. Most of these early committers dont.

Rivals.com had a good podcast the other day.

One of their main rivals said that nearly 85% of those who commit REAL early end up where they originally planned.

It's just those 15% that get the most news.

[big cock fan]

i love how everyone on here seems to know AJ like hes there brother and they know exactly what he is thinking. Listen we know he committed to UGA early, so what, if we have a great year and we are throwing the ball all over the place, i dont care what anyone says its got to be somewhat tempting. We probably wont get him, but to say there is 0 chance in june is just stupid. Crazier things have happend.

[joshuabatterycreekte]

Still talking about Aj Green he is Bulldog now.:confused:

I agree. talking heads like to get on here and convince people one way or the other for no reason and with no real knowledge. It's fine to talk about it, but don't try to tell me that he definitely is or isn't doing anything right now. You simply don't know, period.

[ColaCock]

Gah I would love to have him...he looks 5x better than Sidney did in high school, and I can say that without a doubt. I watched this video of him on YouTube and it was sick.

I hope we can do something to sway him and keep him at home-- he would be a HUGE addition to our team.

Yeah I've seen those videos too and most of those long bombs being thrown to him were by McCollum.

I know AJ is still a UGa verbal, but I how sweet would it be to keep him in state and sign D Walker?

Here is a link comparing AJ and J Jones - "who is the best WR" article ...

http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=699723

USC is going to be WR U in a few years ...

[atrain3067]

As Yogi Berra once said, "It ain't over 'till it's over." If we have targeted AJ as a recruit we want, which we have, we will continue to target and keep in contact with him until he signs that LOI. Our coaches know who they want, and until it's official, they will keep going after them if they feel we have a decent shot at them, if they feel like the kid wants to come here and if they feel they'll fit in our system well. Let's just see how it plays out. None of us know where he'll end up come signing day.

[mjmiller]

We will be if mr green comes.

[gamecockfandrew]

^ I promise we don't need "Mr. Greene" to be a good WR school. It would benifit us to get him, but Spurrier is going to recruit some athletes at WR. One guy isn't going to be the deciding factor.

[CockyDemon13]

How are we doing with Walker anyways?

[ConwayGamecock]

How are we doing with Walker anyways?

Rivals have us as the only "low" school on his list, so it's not too good at this point.....

[CockyDemon13]

I seriously doubt rivals knows really anything about this kids' school choices... I haven't looked at his list, but I guarantee Southern Cal, Miami, Florida, and Florida State are all on it

[mjmiller]

If you want to be known as WR U, you need wr's like "Mr. Greene." I know Spurrier is going to get good wr's, as we've seen, but A.J. Greene is on a whole nother level.

[Forkcock]

I've seen AJ play several times. Best high school player I've ever seen in person. If he goes anywhere but jawja, I'll be shocked.

[Freehawk]

irrelevant

[Ga_Gamecock]

I saw him play @ SVHS a few times last year and i saw raw talent, but i was unimpressed with the O gameplan ... it was a slugfest and looked like Lou was calling the plays ... i think that was the semis vs Berkley maybe?

regardless, he had a nice INT in the corner and a shifty punt return, but was a decoy it seemed for most of the game.

not what i ahd expected

[Stillwearingmyjoehat]

I saw him play @ SVHS a few times last year

Greene doesn't go to Spring Valleyhttp://www5.cockytalk.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

[reddot8481]

I think he means Summerville as SVHS not Spring Valley.

[yShalabi]

Man never rule out a prospect. Except if its a LOI. Otherwise they are still in the game. Alot of things can change for a recruit between early season recruiting to end of year/loi time recruiting. I wouldn't be suprised if AJ Green picks another school over UGA before LOI time.

[Brinkley_Bulldozer52]

AJ has never been utilized properly at SHS. That's why we have lost all the playoff games we have. For example, in the State game against Gaffney we threw all over them in the first half, and turn around and try to RUN the ball because we wanted to run out the clock in THE 3RD QUARTER. Then again against Dutch Fork, AJ was rarely thrown to. Sorry for the history lesson but I was a player on those teams and am very bitter towards the boneheaded decisions of the coaching staff. Ah well, McKissick can't last forever... can he?

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

you are smoking crack - he has been a dawg his whole life - he could go anywhere in the nation - nothing is holding him back - he is a dawg, get over it and move on!

[gamecockref]

AJ Green, as much as I hate it, is definatly a lock at Georgia. Richt has made some of his basketball games at Summerville in person and seems to have a strong relationship with him. Something strange would have to happen to get Green to go any where other than Summerville. (Side note to Brinkley Buldozer's comment about McKissick, McKissick rarely calls offensive calls nor does he set up offensive gameplans. That was Pinky's job until the playoff game against Dutch Fork when Joe Call took over o-cordinator. I rarely watch their games since I am calling other schools on Friday night so I personally don't comment on playcalling or gameplans..... I'll leave that to the armchair quarterbacks

[Stillwearingmyjoehat]

Did Pinky blow his stack in the playoffs or was that the regular season? I forget when it happened.

[gamecockfandrew]

If you want to be known as WR U, you need wr's like "Mr. Greene." I know Spurrier is going to get good wr's, as we've seen, but A.J. Greene is on a whole nother level.

Exactly! You need receivers LIKE Green. We don't need him in particular to be a good WR school.

[Brinkley_Bulldozer52]

I think I know who calls the plays thanks, but isn't it McKissick that allows them to be the coaches? To me, it's probably one of the worst coaching staffs ever other than Coach Kafina, Coach Edwards, and Coach McCurry (The OL, DB and D coordinator, and DL coaches, respectively)

[CockyDemon13]

When we lead the SEC in passing while Georgia finishes next to last, AJ Green will at least take a visit. I mean hell, Columbia is an hour and a half away from home, and outside of the Braves, Georgia ain't worth a damn.

[gamecockref]

The point needs to be made to AJ that South Carolina has had a lot more receivers go to the NFL compared to Georgia. As far as Brinkley's earlier comments, it is interesting you point the bad coaching dirty stick towards the offense when is was the defense that was unable to stop any sort of running attack in the playoffs..... Saying the coaching staffs is one of the worst ever is very short sited and close minded....

[Stillwearingmyjoehat]

I seem to remember Dutch Fork running whereever it pleased and I don't know what the O-Coordinator is supposed to do. I guess there's some argument about the offense keeping the ball longer would have kept their offense off the field.

[gamecockref]

prob... i can see that argument... but when a team puts up 30 points... the offense has done its job.

Yeah, because I'm close minded. I've been around the program long enough and it sickens me to see what happens behind the scenes. So unless you can tell me how you would know more I suggest you quiet down. :-x

[Brinkley_Bulldozer52]

I seem to remember Dutch Fork running whereever it pleased and I don't know what the O-Coordinator is supposed to do. I guess there's some argument about the offense keeping the ball longer would have kept their offense off the field. Hey are you blind? The offense turned the ball over almost EVERY drive or had a 4 and out. The defense played 46 of the 60 min played! Thats over 3/4 of the game played on defense

[ScottFive]

lol...i'm assuming "bulldozer" played defense???

[gamecockref]

Bulldozer must have played defense.... because Summerville averaged almost 35 points a game last year.... i assume he would perfer they average 50 points a game and control the clock for 3 quarters. The defense gave up over 30 points in 2 occasions (one time being the lost playoff game) and posted one shutout

[gamecockref]

Bulldozer, I also wanted to point out that I have been around the program for years as well. My brother and myself played at Summerville.... I currently officiate football and see all kind of different coaches (some bad some good).... it is very easy to question coaches from the stands or sidelines.... high school coaches have to make play calls anticipating what set or call the other team will make and unlike college or pro....it is very hard to audible with 16 and 17 year old kids..at best they can make a check into another play.

[Brinkley_Bulldozer52]

I did play defense, but was out with a torn ACL so really none of it pertains to me, however my dad IS a former coach so I do know what happens behind the scenes, and none of it is GOOD. AJ specifically dislikes USC because his coaches are constantly pushing him to go here. I'd love to see it but he won't. SAVE THIS POST

Sounds like his coaches are the smart ones and he.... never mind.

[Spur]

The point needs to be made to AJ that South Carolina has had a lot more receivers go to the NFL compared to Georgia.

USC currently has 3 WR's that are in the NFL (Williamson, Rice, Marcus Robinson) while UGA also has 3 WR's in the NFL (Hines Ward, Reggie Brown, Fred Gibson)...Gibson just signed with the Rams, fyi.

Neither South Carolina nor UGA are heads and shoulders above each other in terms of trying to say their school is a better 'WR School' in terms of NFL production, imo.

I think both Troy Williamson and Rice will be very solid NFL WR's but with that said, UGA fans would say Hines Ward and Reggie Brown are both doing excellent currently in the NFL and well, they would be right. One is a Super Bowl MVP.

So, I am not sure we can say we are better then UGA as being a NFL WR school.

Actually Spur, Robinson is not on a roster right now we do have 3 WR though the 3rd is Jamed Adkisson

[Spur]

Marcus isnt with the Lions?

Edited: I see they put him on the IR...bummer

[Gamecockfanatic4]

Marcus isnt with the Lions?
ok Yea he is I just checked their roster the other list I was looking at didn't have him on there

[Gamecockfanatic4]

Where'd you see that Spur? I don't see him on the IR anywhere

[Gamecockfan1214]

I went to High School with him for 3 years. I cant believe hes not the number one wide reciever in the nation. He makes the most amazing catches. He is the best high school player i have ever seen. Reid would just throw the ball like with 20 yards of him and somehow he would find a way to catch it.

[Sawyer]

After we beat the dogs in fine style, he might just change his mind!!

[87Cock09]

Im pretty sure James Adkisson is a TE now could be wrong though, if you include TE's that puts several more players in the equation for the bulldogs

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

another dawg TE pope for the cardinals - he is a monster!!

[CockyDemon13]

Neither of the more recent Bulldogs have been selected on the first day of the draft, meanwhile both of our guys have been top 50 picks nad one was a top 10 selection (wasn't he 7th?)

Ya...outside of Miami....UGA is tearing it up with NFL TE's...Rivals named them TE U (http://nfldraft.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=534689) -

[CockyDemon13]

Oh yeah that's right... but then again it was by the Eagles, and the only wideouts they get worth a damn are washed up loudmouths.

[Brinkley_Bulldozer52]

Well, I'm just telling you now A.J. is a done deal. The only thing stating he might not is a rumor going around the school he went on vacation with his parents without telling anyone in the middle of summer training camp to get away from it all, leading people to believe he may be considering another school. If that's what it takes to lead people to believe he may come here, then so be it. Far-fetched to me

Honestly, I dont know if this has been posted or if I am the last person to see this but it is amazing. I know that this kid is a UGA commit, but he is flat awesome and everyone should see this.

I agree. Please close the thread so no one can bump it any more.

man...i sure would like to have AJ Green on our team next year

[Gamecockfanatic4]

everyone here would he's a dog we'll move on and beat them all the time and he'll regret it

[OCock]

Actually there is still a light at the end of the tunnel with Green. Trust me. It's not very bright, but the book ain't closed all the way just yet.

The book ain't closed yet because he hasn't played a snap for UGA, but that's the only reason, IMO. He's good and gone to Georgia.....

[atrain3067]

...With or without him, we will win. After this year (or prep school if that happens) he might be begging to join us, and I think we would listen to him. He is on our board, he hasn't signed that L.O.I. yet, so yes, we are still in contact w/ him. Why wouldn't we be?

[Cocksgonewild]

^^and until he signs the letter of intent he is not a Georgia dawg. We still have a chance especially if we win the SEC or something like that.

UGA will be better once he gets out of prep school (if he has to go, which it's really sounding more and more like he'll have to).. so these are just pipe dreams.

Yup!

Clifton Geathers was a UGA lock when he went to Prep school...nothing is final until the papers are signed. I ain't hold'n my breath though.

Might as well put this myth to bed. AJ has the grades and a qualifying ACT score.

He is a lock for Georgia. He will not change his mind unless Richt gets canned.

There is a bit more to that part of the story then that.

Thankfully, Clifton got serious about his grades and life and has turned into a great player and student.

Shows the type of person he is.....

I know some people at my high school that went to high school with him and even they were laughing at his grades. No one's perfect, so don't I'm ripping on him just because he wants to be a puppy.

CASE CLOSED. HE HAS BEEN A DAWG HIS WHOLE LIFE. He could go anywhere in the nation and he picked Georgia...Next!

[thedude0486]

i have deffinantly heard from more than one person that A.J. Green was at the clemson game and was so impressed he was leaning towards withdrawing his verbal to UGA to come to carolina. Ive also heard that Witlock the #6 CB is gonna come as well after the clemson game.

You heard a lie.

Green and his dad just gave an interview 2 days ago on UGA's Rivals site where him and his dad talk about the USC/UGA game and how excited they are with UGA, 100% with them, etc....He is and always has been all-UGA just like Korn was always CU when he committed early

Sucks but some kids just want to go to a certain school

[reddot8481]

Reid looks really good in those highlights... he really can put the ball on the dime downfield. Give him some fast tall receivers (like we already have) and he will definately get them the ball.

[cockytop]

has prep school written all over it

[Will4144]

A.J. Green will be a Dawg.

[USC-Hokie]

I agree, I know had a I been a football recruit I would have gone to VT. It's hard to let that go when you grew up a fan.

[bgallup]

I dont blame him. If he has been a Dog his whole life good for him. I know if i was a star recruit there would be no school anywhere in the world i would rather attend than USC!

I have had a membership with scout.com for 2 years now and have seen no such interview, but maybe you have.

i didnt say he was for sure going to do that. what i was told is he was at the game saturday was impressed and could possible change it. IMO i dont think we really need WR's any how.

I mean this entire site most the time is based on hearsay... you agree?

thought i may bring some possibly uplifting news.

But as fair as Whitlock i think we 're gonna get him, but we shall see.

[87Cock09]

Whitlock already said he's coming here a few days ago. Thats public knowledge at this point.

[No Curse]

not so mobile though, reminds me of Blake

Being a guy who has some connections on campus, I can confirm that he was there at the Clemson game, but I don't think anything will come of it because he has been a Dawg forever, like everyone has emphasized. It is unfortunate but he definitely is unwavering in his commitment, even McCollum (who was also there on Saturday) has tried to recruit him to USC but no dice.

At times, yes....Other times, no. I just find some of the rumors to be ridiculous.

Remember last year where we had posters swearing that Korn wasn't really committed to CU and that he was switching to USC? We heard that NUMEROUS TIMES and everytime it was completely made up or lord knows where else it originated. I find that type of "bs" to be associated with most Green rumors put on here. Either someone wants to be the "first" to say it or they just want to have fun with the posters. Either way, it gets old after awhile.

I just talked to Green's father less than a minute ago and I asked him if A.J. was looking at South Carolina or still solid to Georgia and before I could even finish my question, Mr. Green said, "Oh no, All the way Georgia - He is going to Georgia."

He went on to say he just went up there with his teammate/SC commit Reid McCollum and just went for the game. Green is still solid to Georgia and his father said UGA fans down here have nothing to worry about.Link to UGA-Rivals site (http://uga.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=2317&tid=106558252&mid=106558252&sid=878&style=2)

Little snipits of the article

While he is committed to UGA, some eyebrows were raised last week as he visited the University of South Carolina. What were his reasons for visiting?

"As you know our quarterback Reid McCollum is going there. He made me go and I went just to appease him. That was the only reason I visited."

&

Academic rumors swirl about Green and one thing many want know is, will Green make it to Athens next fall? Green did not shy away from that question.

"Things are going well - my lowest grade is an 81, so I fully expect to be in Athens on time," said the Bulldog commitment. "I have no plans to go another route and I do not think I will need to."

[roosterrizk1]

We appreciate your attendance ..... :roll:

[Will4144]

Oh well. OLD news. He was firm to Georgia before this recruiting season even began.

[Acockolypse Now]

Wha?!.... you mean he's going to Georgia?

[Will4144]

Wha?!.... you mean he's going to Georgia?

Just kidding. From all the rumors spread on these boards, it looks like the 29 year old that is going to fail out of all of his classes is going to Georgia. But if he were coming here, you knock off ten years of age and improve his GPA by 3 points.

[roosterrizk1]

Now that is funny right there .... :lol:

[Acockolypse Now]

I heard he cured cancer in the science lab before football practice.

I heard he sold his sperm at the local sperm bank a few years back, to get the $$ to buy the cancer-curing lab equipment. A young wife purchased the "deposit", and became impregnated by it. Mrs. Tebow named her new-born son Timothy.......

[donbgamecock]

Earlier in the year I was not too keen on AJ. In fact I posted my doubt that he would be a stand out college player. I can tell you I have had a change of mind. I have seen on the field now and watched many of his vids and I can now predict that he will accel at the next level. That kid is very Sid Rice with his stature, body positioning, leaping ability and adhesive digits.

Go Cocks!

He is exactly like Sidney except even more talent. If he can harness all of that talent he will be an All-American WR and probably a top 15 draft pick in a few years.

[big cock fan]

He is very Sid like in the air as far as body positioning and leaping ability but what sets him apart is when he has the ball in his hands. He runs so smooth and has the ability to stop on a dime and change direction which is something thats hard to find in a 6ft4 guy. Good luck to ya AJ, even though i dont feel like that is the best system for him, i can see where his heart is.

At least he hasn't been wishy-washy like a lot of prospects. He committed to where his heart was and stuck to it. Too bad our highly-rated, hometown cornerback didn't do so last year.

[gvillegmck]

At this point in time i'm pretty sure that Green is a lock for UGA, although i did see him at the clemson game, i am not going to get my hopes up. If we get him, i will dance in the street for days, but if we don't, it was exactly what was supposed to happen for almost over a year.

He said he was just there because Reid McCollum asked him to go.

[Forkcock]

Many people on here get mad if you say that we have no chance with Green.

There's always a chance but this kid is Georgia all the way. Always has been and I don't see anything that would cause him to change his mind.

Exactly. The only thing I could've seen even swaying him just a little would've been if we won the East and had a very good passing game this past year.

[UgSaCmecocks]

man this guy gets more airtime here than those who actually commit to us. Just like GG from a year ago!

[Will4144]

I'm hijacking this thread. Here's a shout to all the great prospects we already have committed!!!

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

why the hell are we talking about Georgia players??? I wish the Charles Whitlock thread got this much play. Let it go!!!!!! Some mod needs to step up and shut this thread down.

[willy]

I'm not sure how much weight McCollum coming to USC could pull on Green: if Green wanted to go wherever McCollum was going, you'd think he would've waited on committing. And judging by how quickly McCollum committed to USC after being offered by Spurrier (I think it was something like" Spurrier: Reid, we like how you've passed this weekend, and we'd like to off..McCollum: I'm committing!! :) ), you'd think that Green would already have a good indication that McCollum wanted to be a Gamecock.

So Green committing early to Georgia despite all this does not make me think he will either change his mind in favour of USC, or that McCollum will have any influence in making him change his mind. Unless this is all some ruse by Green to mislead Georgia and sign with USC in February, which I highly doubt.

I would prefer to just focus on the recruits that are committing to USC, or are not yet committed but have USC as favorites. That way, I won't get my hopes up for a player who never intended on coming here. If they change their minds, then it's all gravy!! But I got my hopes up a bit over Dunlap last season, and don't want that to happen anymore....



I think McCollum is the key word here.

[Spur]

He hasn't signed yet so it is fair game to talk about it until then.
