I question anyone who says they fall in love with Athens. One of the more overrated places I have visited.
Of all the years to hold onto Botch too long, this may have been the worst choice with the implementation of the early signing period and only having about two weeks to recruit. Tis what it is.
If there hadn't been a music scene there 30 years ago nobody would care about Athens. It's a shithole. Always has been, always will be. They've got football going for them right now but that's it. The bars there are way overrated and culturally, it sucks.
Panic in February, this hasn't been bad. He's flipped two 4 star players in two weeks and gotten the qb he wants. He may still get the #1 rated JUCO TE and a JUCO pass rusher Gary Patterson wants.
The only thing I hold him accountable for is doing the best with whatever prospects don't sign until February, and the next class. It's a feat to bring in new guys in 2 weeks. He got Taylor back on board and kept the DL, which is good.
He may pull Copeland, Peterson, Griffin and Quan Bray. I would say the first two are 90% here. He gets those two JUCO olinemen with those 4 guys, he's done a helluva job in two months.
