I have never seen this kid's name mentioned on the UGA website. Pretty safe bet he isn't coming to UGA. But he has an offer and visited, so doesn't look like he showed much interest.
My guess is staying home may be tough to overcome, but it would great to see Stoops and Company pull it off as they need some OTs in the pipeline.
Yeah the Joker days of recruiting against and in some cases losing out to Florida A&M and Georgia Southern are thankfully in the rear view mirror.I still can’t get used to us making lists like this. It’s amazing how far we’ve come just to make a final 3 for a guy like this.
I think so too. He said it was amazing here. Home is home, he can always go back there. I think he ends up In Lexington.Well, we're the only one not local/near local to him so we must be a serious contender imo.
I hope you are correct. GO CATS!!I think so too. He said it was amazing here. Home is home, he can always go back there. I think he ends up In Lexington.
Just a suggestion. Don't get your hopes up.I think so too. He said it was amazing here. Home is home, he can always go back there. I think he ends up In Lexington.

I am all in on our coaching staff. We have commitments from Cutter Boley and Terhyon Nichols, and I am hopeful about our chances with Brian Robinson. I don't doubt for a moment that our program is good enough to sign players like Daniels. After all, he visited here last month. And I don't worship CB picks either. But all available public evidence is telling me Zach Yenser has not sold Jonathan Daniels on UK and that Daniels had a monstrous visit to Tallahassee. So just saying, don't stop hoping, but don't get out too far over your skis on Daniels.
Perhaps so. There is also the fact that Tallahassee is physically close to Pensacola. That area of the panhandle has historically been mainly FL St and Auburn recruiting territory. I expect UK to sign Jason Patterson, so it isn't as if we can't break through and sign a good player from the Pensacola area. But in Jonathan Daniels' case, every indication I can see is telling me that Coach Yenser whiffed.FSU is pushing NIL heavy, they are also tampering with other schools. FSU, Miami, Texas, and SoCal have all been in contact with Georgia players before they entered the portal. Of course it was direct contact, and technically not against the rules.
I asked elsewhere but got no response...how much, if any, was Yenser involved with portal recruiting of Cox/Ford?Perhaps so. There is also the fact that Tallahassee is physically close to Pensacola.

Not even doubting Yenser here. He helped with Jadon Lafondant and I am sure he will sign others. But in this particular case, there is no public evidence to suggest Yenser has closed the deal with Daniels. I wish he did.
For sure, it's a good question. Yenser had to be involved. No way he wasn't. I don't know specifics, but these guys have relocated to UK so they can learn from and play for Yenser. They are essentially betting their football careers on Yenser's teaching abilities.I asked elsewhere but got no response...how much, if any, was Yenser involved with portal recruiting of Cox/Ford?
? I'm pretty sure you can't be recruiting players off of another programs roster until the player has entered the portal.FSU is pushing NIL heavy, they are also tampering with other schools.

NCAA is so pitiful, with hardly any schools respecting their authority that they’re doing whatever they damn well please…? I'm pretty sure you can't be recruiting players off of another programs roster until the player has entered the portal.
All a team has to do is identify someone that’s in a player’s “posse” that they can carry on conversations with them. Then the NCAA looks the other way and says it’s not direct contact!NCAA is so pitiful, with hardly any schools respecting their authority that they’re doing whatever they damn well please…
Wasn't Deone Walker telling people that Mich, Aub and OH st were calling him trying to get him to transfer?? I'm pretty sure you can't be recruiting players off of another programs roster until the player has entered the portal.
I suspect contact goes on but with 3rd parties not directly from the coaching staff.Wasn't Deone Walker telling people that Mich, Aub and OH st were calling him trying to get him to transfer?
This is an important point. In recruiting being the runner up is now a much bigger deal than it once was. Recruiting never stops.He just chose the Seminoles this morning. Hate to see this because he was an ACTUAL top level OT.
Well, on to the next one and if it doesn't work out in Tallahassee, he can always come to UK later on!!
