Well said, with the way recruiting has become its amazing the way were almost sealing up a class a year out. A great problem to have. Especially with the talent were bringing in. I'm hoping Pryor is able to stay at S but if not he'd make just as good an OLB similar to Shazier, and if he can keep his speed and his hands that's even better

A bit off topic, but not really...

I've mentioned this before that one of my son's previous club lacrosse coaches was a QB at Illinois (graduated two years ago I think). Anyhow, he and I were talking during the building of the '13 class and he said straight up that everyone in the B1G sees Urb building a dynasty and only a couple would even be close to keeping up. I (apparently wrongly) suggested that it was as likely due to the 'new coach bump.' How many years in are we now? And recruiting has pretty much gotten better every year. It's hard to argue that this isn't a perfect storm of resources, coaching and talent never seen before in the 43210.

Welcome aboard Isaiah. Looks like you've got a bit of a head start on Coach Mick's program. Geeeeez.

I don't know which is worse;

the fact this kid is going to grow up and will be loose in the general population or that I think he's hilarious

This kid and LeCounte patrolling the secondary? Just stop...

What are UGA’s chances of flipping Ohio State commitment?

“It was a solid commitment,” said Pryor, one of the top prospects in the class of 2017. “I visited there a lot of times. I felt very comfortable with the campus, talking with the coaches. I met with the players. I felt like it was a solid decision.”

“I’ve always liked Coach Pruitt,” Pryor said. “I think he’s a good coach. I just haven’t had the type of relationship with him that I’ve had with Ohio State.”

I really hope this sticks... I also really hope he stays at safety. I've always wanted to see a 230 pound safety ala sean Taylor (RIP).

Love our safeties but we've always had safeties in the 195-205 range. Tyvis and Nate salley are the biggest I remember but even Tyvis is 6'3" so he doesn't wear 210 as well. Imagine dropping this guy into the box against the teams up north? Scum this year doesn't have the line to mash up but MSU certainly did. We are always built for speed but I think it's about time we start building our team to combat the power run like scum, MSU, and even PSU.

Love to see a little more weight in the DT and the Safety positions to help brunt this trend with power running.

The trend is still zone spread run offenses though. I'd never want to see our defense turn into a one dimensional entity like Alabama, Arkansas or LSU. I'd like to see Pryor turn into darron Lee type LB, who can play in space and destroy RBs or WRs. I never want to see OSU play for only B1G teams, but set our team up to play the best in the nation, and scUM and PSU ain't that. And I'd hate to develop a defense around defending one team in our conference
