Georgia football recruiting formula

So what would it take to flip Haselwood away from Georgia.

“Georgia would have to mess up in some way and have me thinking ‘Dang, this is where I wanted to go’ and then another school will have to take things to a whole new level for that to happen with me.”

“Georgia would have to mess up in some way.”

In other words, a perfect storm.

Throw the ball a bit more this year and win, plus stay real, and Jake Fromm and Justin Fields will be throwing to Haselwood in 2019. And of the teams in his top five, Georgia and Alabama are the only school’s that can show Haselwood this fall who will be throwing to him.

And then there’s this. “I still do not think a school has shown me anything better than Georgia,” he said.

Travelin’ Man

Haselwood said from the beginning of his recruitment he would take visits. Why?

“I’m just having fun. Before all of this, I didn’t have the opportunity to travel to these places. I can’t afford that every week.”

In other words, where’s the party?

Next. Georgia's weapon of mass recruitment. dark

Georgia football coaches have been good about his visits, and that’s the right strategy. Besides, Haselwood has made it clear he is going to do whatever he wants to do, so fans might as well get used to the idea.

Maybe Pappoe needs to get that message, also.
