ease up guys we are stacked at QB plus Eason is too tall and can't even throw for 3,000 yards in a season. Brownding can do that in one game. Championship!

Just sharing what I've heardsarktastic said:wait... so now roaddog is claiming to be inside the confidence circle of Eason and his Dad?... and they're OK with you spewing that confidence on a message bored recruits and their parents read?
"something" smells likebullshit.bullchips

It's mostly speculation, but I really doubt waiting until June to offer sat well with Eason. It's not like he had one or two offers before UW did. He had tons of them, including some from the best football programs in the country.AEB said:
I don't disagree with you. The only issue I have is the false narrative about him choosing Georgia over UW because Petersen didn't offer him Day 1 is clownish, lazy, and idiotic. Note the source.RoadDawg55 said:
Myles Jack went to a better school and situation than UW. Same with Josh Garnett, Zach Banner, Russell, Max Browne, yadda, yadda. One standard. You have to get the elite guys from in state. Everyone here poo-poos losing Eason.Tequilla said:

I see a kid that got the opportunity to go play for a SEC school, a higher tier one at that, with at worst fringe national championship aspirations. At the same time, he's been gifted into a situation where he's likely to be handed the job without a ton of work. It's a great situation for him. Quite possibly a better one than going to UW.
At the end of the day, I'm sure Eason is nice. But all I really care about, all that I ever care about when it comes to recruiting, is that you recruit the best class possible that fits what it is that you are trying to do as a program. If Eason's not an option. Then get the next best option. -
And if that is what they are basing their decision on, then more power to them.RoadDawg55 said:
Disagree with everything you wrote. The fence matters. Max Browne and Jake Heaps have nothing to do with Eason.FreeChavez said:
WTF does local have to do with anything? this is akin to saying romar is a good coach b/c local talent has been down. Yes, it's wonderful to have local kids and quite generally easier to get than a texas kid. That being said, it's also not paramount to a successful program to pull every elite recruit from a certain area. Eason is yet another kid who may have different dreams than some locals. Why do people think that every kid from WA wants to go to UW?RoadDawg55 said:

I think the reason people get all bent on eason is that recruiting sites love him, which is always problematic. Eventhough the guys who are paid $4 million a year may not think he fits into what they want to do. I find it hilarious that b/c he's local, and b/c he's some sort of scout all star that every fan is going to rip CP. CP may have whiffed on him, but if recent history says anything WA QB's are highly overrated and eason is just another guy in the mix.
People shouldn't get their manties in a bunch over it. I'd be much more bent over losing OL than a QB
Petersen offered Eason and is still recruiting him. He offered too late after tons of better schools already had. That didn't sit well with Eason or his dad. It wouldn't sit well with any prospect with tons of offers. It is what it is.
I have no idea if the kid will turn out to be a great QB or not ... nobody on this board really does.
Plus, in the grand scheme of things, QB recruiting is far different than any other position.
I'm just not going to get all bent out of shape about this at this point. It's just not worth it. -
This is a good sign:
"Mark Richt confirmed that they're recruiting QB Greyson Lambert, the Virginia grad transfer. Confirming is all Richt can say per NCAA rules."

Tells me that Georgia is planning on handing the reigns to Eason as a true frosh in 2016.Joe Stephanson said:This is a good sign:

What is Eason's connection to UGA?

Letting myself pretend, for a moment, that I am Lake Stevens 17 year old boy with loose hips and a live arm, I would barely think about U-Dub until I see how their offense looks in 2015. The 2014 offense was tailored to the dual-threat QBs Sarky recruited (Miles, Williams, and Lindquist) but it could be somewhat different by this fall.
It's pretty clear that Petersen wants QB's who are accurate and make good decisions...if they happen to be good scramblers or running threats, all the better. Magna Carta is similar to Lindquist but reportedly farther along than Lindquist was as a RS-Frosh. OTHO, Browning is Petersen's signature QB recruit.
Back to Eason for a moment, the Georgia depth chart is wide open for him but if Browning is as good as advertised, how many years would Eason have to sit behind him? Even aggressively projecting that Browning is the starter by mid-season, Browning would still have 3 more years to start. Does Eason come in as a true frosh and unseat true soph Browning after he started some games the year before? Most likely not. So Eason is 2nd string until he is a Senior?
If Browning ends up not having to play and he redshirts, that puts them closer in terms of eligibility while Eason could end up playing in the first game of his true frosh season (at Georgia) like Eason did.

I read this 6 times and still can't make heads or tails of it. With death or puppy, I'd just chalk it up to.....well.....death and puppy. You, however, don't have that track record. Care to try again?HFNY said:Letting myself pretend, for a moment, that I am Lake Stevens 17 year old boy with loose hips and a live arm, I would barely think about U-Dub until I see how their offense looks in 2015.
