The Good, The Bad, and The Unknown - 2023 Skill Positions

Let's do a series this week called "The Good, The Bad, and the Unknown". I don't think there will be much of The Ugly here, so we'll leave that out. Some of the most interesting recruitments of the year are with the skill positions. Of course everyone knows we lost out on a certain QB to not be named, but where do we go from there. What do we do with the 2nd running back spot? And the recruitments of the receivers are always fun to follow! QUARTERBACK THE GOOD 1) We're fine at quarterbac

Star Studded Group of Official Visitors Headed to Athens This Weekend

While each group that makes their way to the Classic City every weekend is special, this weekend will be a five syar event! Snagging a couple of guys from this weekend would almost guarantee a top 1-3 recruiting finish for the 2023 class. There are four 5* prospects expected to head to Athens this weekend, with another four 4* recruits in the house. The ninth is a 3* Dawg legacy. UGA is known for bringing in some absolutely nasty running back combinations, but I've never thought that Justic

Official Dawgs Central Prediction/Player Eval for 5* Safety Joenel Aguero

One position group The University of Georgia should have no problem recruiting is the secondary group. Top targets should be fighting to learn under  Kirby Smart as the Head Coach, along with Will Muschamp and Fran Brown on Staff. The trio gives UGA one of the best, if not the best coaching tandems in the nation. Even before Muschamp and Brown arrived, there has never really been a problem getting the best of the best coenerbacks to play their college ball in Athens. While safety recruiting

Official Dawgs Central Prediction/Player Eval for 4* Offensive Lineman Kelton Smith

One thing UGA fans have been forced to get used to with offensive line recruiting is change. Sam Pittman came on board with Kirby Smart's inagural staff and proved to be a monster recruiter. He helped produce multiple NFL draft picks, such as Lamont Gallaird in 2019. Andrew Thomas (Pick 4) and Isaiah Wilson (Pick 29) both went in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft, while Solomon Kindley was drafted in the 4th round (Pick 111). In 2021, Ben Cleveland was drafted in the 3rd round with the 94th

Official Dawgs Central Prediction/Player Eval for 4* Linebacker Troy Bowles

The University of Georgia just put three linebackers in the NFL draft this year. The trio of Quay Walker (Round 1, Pick 22), Nakobe Dean (Round 3, Pick 83), and Channing Tindall (Round 3, Pick 102) might just be the best to come out of Athens in the same year. Azeez Ojulari (Round 2, Pick 50) and Monty Rice (Round 3, Pick 92) were big picks for UGA in 2021. Tae Crowder was Mr Irrelevent in as the 255th pick in the seventh round in 2020. D'Andre Walker was drafted by the Titans in the fifth round

Official Dawgs Central Prediction/Player Eval for 3* Receiver Yazeed Haynes

If you look at the commit list for Georgia for the 2023 class, you'll notice that it's loaded with highly ranked defensive prospects. From Joenel Aguero to Gabe Harris, the Dawgs will have a top of the line defense for years to come. You'll also notice that the list of offensive commits includes tight ends, offensive linemen, and one receiver. Raymond Cottrell is the lone pass catcher of the group and one of the longest committed players. He's going to need some help chasing down those dimes fro

Official Dawgs Central Prediction - Monroe Freeling

Another day and another decision for a top UGA target. While the last one didn't go as we wanted, I believe Dawg fans will be happy after 7:30 tonight. That's when Monroe Freeling will announce his decision. One of the hot topics in UGA recruiting circles has been the recruiting ability of offensive line coach Stacy Searels since he was hired. While I have been one of his biggest critics, I can say that we wouldn't be the favorite to gain Freeling's commitment tonight without him. The two h

Official Dawgs Central Prediction - Dawgs Will Get a 5* Soon

Is it FINALLY that time? It has seemed like an eternity that UGA has led for 2023 5* EDGE Samuel M'Pemba. Georgia has really made M'Pemba a priority since this spring and has done an incredible job recruiting the 6'3 240 pounder. The Missouri native who is playing his senior season at IMG Academy has been to Athens multiple times this summer and this fall for Gamedays. The main competition right now for the Dawgs is Tennessee. He took an official visit the weekend the Vols played Alabama. E

Official Dawgs Central Prediction - Chris Peal

Georgia has been after 2023 4* CB Chris Peal for the majority of this year, offering the 6'0 175 pounder in March. This is actually a decent bit after his other top schools, with Michigan, UNC, and NC State all offering in 2021. This immediately peaked the interest in the Noath Carolina native and he took his official visit to Athens the first weekend in June. Pretty much since that time UGA has looked like the team to beat. Peal took other official visits to NC State, Michigan, and South C

Official Dawgs Central Prediction - Caleb Downs

In-state safety Caleb Downs has been a top target for Georgia for the majority of his recruitment. UGA has made him a priority target for not only his position, but for the 2023 class as a whole. The 5* safety is one of the most college ready prospects in this class. His speed, athleticism, anticipation, and football IQ are all off the charts. These factors make him an almost can't miss for the Dawgs. Kirby Smart and company would love to pair him with fellow 5* safety and recent commit, Joenel

Monroe Freeling is a Dawg

Dawg fans already have something to celebrate to begin the start of the season and Oregon week. Four star prospect Monroe Freeling is now on the UGA commit list. The 6'7 285 pound offensive lineman committed to Georgia over Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Miami and others. As we mentioned in his commitment preview, this is really one that came down to UGA offensive line coach Stacy Searels. Freeling had an offer from UGA, but Searels really turned up the heat after he was hired. As a matter of f

Georgia Made Some Moves This Past Weekend

Kirby Smart and company had a star studded group of visitors in town this past weekend, and Georgia may be in a better spot with a couple of them that what I originally thought. Let's cut the fluff and get straight to it: I've been screaming the entire recruiting cycle that 5* RB Richard Young and Justice Haynes won't end up at the same school. UGA had him in town this past weekend and of course he had a great time (who doesn't on an official visit). I'm told that the Dawgs are making things

Five Most Iportant Visitors for Georgia vs Tennessee

You've probably heard this more than once and you'll probably hear it a few more times. This historic matchup in Sanford Stadium featuring the #3 Georgia Bulldogs against the #1 Tennessee Volunteers is attracting a ridiculous amount of talent. In all honesty, it's probably the most highly rated recruits to ever be in Athens on a gameday..............and we've had some good ones. So who are the most important visitors? Who are the ones to keep an eye on? Are there any who could be on commit

Dawgs Get a Running Back - Roderick Robinson Has Committed to UGA

Kirby Smart ALWAYS has a plan.  Everyone knows the story by now of legacy RB recruit Justice Haynes committing to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Of course that's not fun to see, but we told you not to panic because Kirby Smart ALWAYS has a plan. That plan comes in at 6'1 and 230 pounds of muscle. The Dawgs have gone to California again for a very important commit and after visiting this weekend, Roderick Robinson has decided to become a part of RBU! The four star running back was committed

Dawgs Central Prediction - Georgia Will Complete the Flip

To say that The University of Georgia has some positive momentum on the recruiting trail would be a severe understatement. The Dawgs are absolutely smoking. This is due in large part to a large portion of top targets taking their official visits in June. Many of these guys will make their decisions in July, so they can concentrate on their senior seasons. Of course UGA didn't have to wait until July, as 3* offensive lineman Joshua Miller got the party started by decommitting from from Penn

Dawgs Central Prediction - Georgia Will Add Another DB

A couple of months ago Justyn Rhett decommitted from Notre Dame while on a visit to UGA. Not long after that, he was officially a Dawg. He was the only DB on the current commit list up until June 16th, when AJ Harris jumped on board. Georgia previously had in-state DB Kain Lee committed, but he's been off the board for a while and recently committed to Ohio State. Look for the Dawgs to take 5 total in the secondary. It will likely be three corners and two safeties, according to who wants to

Dawgs Central Prediction - Dawgs Will Get Big Man in the MIddle

As everyone is well aware, one of the keys to UGA's historic defense last season was Jordan Davis. His 6'6 340 pound frame took multiple offensive linemen to block, freeing up those around him. He also made plenty of plays himself in the backfield and running sideline to sideline. Kirby Smart and company have found Jordan Davis 2.0 in 6'6 350 pound Jamaal Jarrett. The similarities only start at their size. Both are from North Carolina, Jarrett is athletic like Davis, they have similar footwork,

Dawgs Add a Big Piece to the Puzzle

July is turning into the biggest recruiting month of the year, as commitments are pouring in for most of the top college football programs across the country. This is after thousands of prospects flocked to campuses for official visits in June. Many of these guys are now wanting to get their commitment over so that they can concentrate on their senior seasons.  Count the Georgia Bulldogs in on the fun! The Dawgs have a great chance to add as many as eight total commits this month. One was a

COMMIT! Harris is a Dawg Again

There actually hasn't been a ton of drama surrounding Georgia recruiting as in previous years leading up to National Signing Day. The Dawgs had 23 solid commitments already in the fold, with nine of those prospects already in Athens and practicing with the team. There were only four primary targets left on the board heading into today, with a few transfer portal targets left to decide. The one who made the most noise as far as UGA is concerned is Daniel Harris. The 4* DB actually committed

COMMIT! Hall to the Red and Black

First there was Davis and Wyatt, now there is Jarrett and Hall. The previous duo are first round NFL picks and the latter hopes to do the same. While Jarrett has been on the commit list for a while, it has taken Hall longer to make a final decision. The four star defensive lineman from Jacksonville has been high on Georgia for the longest. UGA receiveved his last visit and received his last in-home visit. That was for good reason. Not only has her been high on Georgia for a while, the Dawgs

COMMIT! Five Star is Finally a Dawg

Make no mistake about it, Coach Diribe and the rest of the Georgia coaching staff have put the work in to secure the commitment of five star edge prospect Damon Wilson. This has been a battle with Ohio State for what seems to be the longest time. As a matter of fact, there was a point this fall where I would have predicted him to the Buckeyes. Then the top 5* target visited for the Tennessee game. Most of the time one game doesn't decide a recruitment, but this game certainly didn't hurt th

COMMIT! Big Time Speedster to UGA

There hasn't been as much "hoopla" involving Georgia and the 2023 class as there was in previous classes, with most of the hay being in the barn for Kirby Smart and company. How glad were you when Nakobe Dean chose the Dawgs out of the 3-5 teams he was still considering on signing day? How about the last minute flip of George Pickens from in-state Auburn to UGA? That's my favorite recruiting memory between the Dawgs and my most hated team in the entire world! There has been one prospect who

Busy Week for UGA in Recruiting

It's been a whirlwind of a start for us here at Dawgs Central. Note to self - don't start a new website the same month official visits begin! We've tried so far to keep you updated on all the comings and goings with all of the top targets visiting and many committing. It will make it easier to do this by publishing a weekly recruiting preview. This will allow you to see everything already scheduled for the week without having to scroll through a bunch of forum posts. While the Dawgs receive

2023 Recruiting Snapshot Offense

Under Kirby Smart, I don't expect UGA to be out of the top 3-5 recruiting classes..........well, EVER. The guy is a recruiting machine and with the exception of the no visit covid year, you can expect him to be top 1-3 year after year. This will be true, even with the NIL in play now, which is an entirely different article. At this moment, the Dawgs sit with 8 commits. You might as well say 7 commits, because Seven Cloud will not be in this class. Auburn is hard after Bo Hughley with a coup

2023 Recruiting Shapshot Defense

I'm not one that believes that you shouldn't question coaches, even if they make millions a year. I am one that believes you damn well better know what you're talking about if you're going to question Kirby Smart's defensive recruiting. Let's be honest, it just won us a National Championship. That's why I like to sit back and watch and laugh early on in the recruiting process when guys are in a panic over who we have or don't have. I always say, "just relax, Kirby will get his." 2023 is no
