Odd situation. Something about this situation does not add up to me. Feels like a Brule situation 2.0Quote:

But at the same time you wouldn't mind stealing Emery from Louisiana would you?Quote:

Completely different situations that aren't comparable outside of an instate guy leaving. Plumlee would've been a great fit at UNC as a QB because that's a much better situation for him to play QB than an instate school can offer.Quote:

No one can even figure out how Plumlee fits at UGA.
Completely different situation and a lack of thought process by you before asking that question.
Will be just another ms kid lost in the shuffle if he sticks. Seen it too many times. Hope he's not planning on playing qb while he's there.Quote:

I do agree with Shotgun though that he probably will decommitt and some point. I think he ends up at MSU. We have done well with Oak Grove kids.
If OGHS ever gets another good HC they will go back to competing for titles. They were the most talented team we saw last year but one of the most poorly coached.
I know he had taken a visit with us earlier in the yearQuote:

I know this is usm fans but Plumlee is especially revered around here more than others probably because he is a qb.
There was a level headed usm fan in the conversation that i was hearing and he was sort of putting down those that were thinking that way.
My question is, just how good of a baseball player is he?
Here?s what I think:Quote:

So, with that being said, he basically saw the writing on the wall as being recruited as an ?athlete.? Every school could offer that and would love to add him to their class in that role/capacity. So, ultimately, it leveled the playing field somewhat and boiled down to things other than just position (academics, campus, prestige, etc), and its hard to argue against UGA on any of those fronts.
Plumlee and his dad got hung up on big names. He will never play QB or baseball beyond a small, small role. But he is a SEC athlete and might be a stud safety. One week it was Bama, one week Clemson, then GA. I don't see any situation where he ends up at State.
Great assessment. Known them a long time. Great kid, great family and he works his butt off, but you're dead on in your assessment of his future.Quote:

Most schools have told him as much.
It appears you've seen him play as much as I have.Quote:

Yeah and I've seen him play since he was 8. He's a great athlete there's no doubt about that but Uga didn't recruit him to play qb and he won't play qb for them. And there's plenty of people that scout these kids for a living that don't believe he can qb in the sec. And i know plenty about him as a baseball player. He will not hit better pitching. He's a great kid and his family is awesome but there's nothing wrong with saying he's a great athlete and won't be a great qb.Quote:

He’s not an SEC QB. I will say, he’s got a better shot at State than UGA though. He’s just not very interested in State.Quote:
