UGA Recruiting: FIVE STAR WATCH – Top Target Was Ready to Commit Once, Dawgs in Good Shape to Eventually Get Him To
“Coach Pittman had an impression on me early,” Mims told DawgNation. “First practice I came out. I think it was the start of my 11th-grade year. He was there on the practice field. He was there waiting for me and had come down for the first day. That got me. I was like ‘Man I must be pretty important.’ He can go see any recruit in the nation and any offensive lineman but he came to see me on the first day of spring practice.”
“I was about to commit then, to be honest with you about then,” Mims said. “I had talked to him for about a good week or two weeks. But then I was like pretty sure he was about to leave. So I’m pretty sure I had the idea he was about to leave before anyone else did. That’s the reason why I kind of held that off.”
