good looking kid and offer list
Damn...you could just about build a team from kids that play in Marietta these days.
That's a big kid. Hope we stay at the top of his list.
He is really active on twitter too.

Okay, you get the point.
Cobb County as a whole has some top talent - and has had for years. We just seem to finally taking advantage of the fact that those kids want to be at an SEC school. There are 16 programs in Cobb, plus Marietta High, and a half dozen private schools, and they are packed with athletes. We were Anthony Jennings' #2 behind LSU, and I think that opened our staff's eyes up to the talent pool that you can pull from there.Quote:

Holy crap. 6'5" 218, class of 2016.Quote:

He said he considers himself a pro-style QB but I'm pretty sure he's more of a dual-threat; keep in mind, these days 'pro-style' could mean Kaepernick, RGIII, Wilson, just as much as Peyton, Brady, etc.Quote:

Could be huge for us...hopefully he commits this summer and I can go see him play some next year.
Bingo. We need this kid on board for many reasons on top of him being a potential studQuote:

Love that we are getting ahead of the game on these guys...
The guy is gonna be a hell of a player, hopefully we can remain the favorite once he gets other offers. Looks like we are the only one right now
Yep, and like I said, he has talked openly about the fact that he wants to, and probably will, commit before his junior year. And he sounds like once he makes that decision, he will go 100% for whoever the school is to help put the rest of the class together, meaning he seems like the kind of kid that wouldn't think a whole lot about other schools after that.Quote:

I think having one of those on the team is a great idea .... even if nobody will admit it- TR gave us another angle that helped at timesQuote:

White is a specimen and certainly shows a ton of potential. Would love to see him smooth our his throwing motion and become more fluid, less rigid, thus have a livelier arm. That could come with coaching and reps though.
Dak will become a household name next year. Heart of a lion, build of an ox.
If he is healthy there should be some Heisman consideration. He is going to put up the necessary stats to be considered... we just need to win games.
Speaking of this, I was talking to an Ole Miss fan friend of mine a couple of days ago. He is a casual fan, not really a die hard, and he went on and on about Dak and how he had no idea that we had a QB like that on the roster.Quote:

There's 700k people in Cobb County, a lot of fish in a small barrell. There is another 700k in Gwinnet County. That's more than half of Mississippi in 2 suburban counties of Atlanta.Quote:

Then their opinions are formed by what the media tells them.
Watch the game
and that is why smart people like me have fled and enjoy the lifestyle of the GA coast!Quote:

He knew he could always count on getting a half dozen quality players that could probably be SEC level, but were overlooked because of the higher talent sucked in the SEC scouts. The numbers almost guarantee that you will get quality players.Quote:
