Arik Gilbert Rumors

We heard the rumors about Arik Gilbert being interested in transferring to UGA and asked around.

There is SOME truth to the rumor. From what we’ve been told from someone who would definitely know, he has been in contact with our staff/players and is very interested in playing in Athens. He’s also interested in returning to LSU.

I was told that we’re not overly confident in getting him to Athens, mainly because of his academic issues. LSU is likely the only one that can get him in IF they’re able to get some of the classes he quit turned in to incompletes so he can finish them up.

I would say the chances of him being in Athens are very slim. It wouldn’t take a miracle to get him in, but close to it.

What’s Going on With WR Recruiting?

After a small 2021 class of receivers (only Adonai Mitchell and Jackson Meeks), the 2022 class will be very important. Add to the amount of injuries we’ve had at the position, and we need bodies!

One target I don’t believe we’re really after is Sam Mbake, a 6’4 in-state receiver. He was a big name early on, but I don’t think he has the speed we’re looking for. Another I doubt we get is 5* Kevin Coleman.

Two top overall targets are Kojo Antwi and Evan Stewart. We probably trail A&M for Antwi right now. He recently went to see his brother in Texas and practiced with A&M 5* QB commit Conner Weigman. Stewart recently decommitted from Texas and we’re calling our shot that UGA is the team to beat.

De’nylon Morrissette is one that has had Alabama in the lead, but REALLY wants to play with 7on7 teammates Gunner Stockton and Oscar Delp. 

Two that aren’t talked about near enough are Andre Greene and Shaleak Knotts. As a matter of fact, they could easily be two of our commits. Add Morrissette and say we get one of either Antwi or Stewart

Also, don’t forget about 4* Antonio Williams or 3* Marcus Peterson.

PERFECT SCENARIO

1. Get Antwi AND Stewart

2. Take 5 or tell one of these three no (Knotts, Greene, Morrissette)
