By Jason Brassell in Field St Forum0 commentsJuly/August Commitment Dates:
S Jaylan Morgan (7/8) - Will be surprised if it isn't UGA.
WR Phillip Wright (7/13) - Visited UGA, but we are full unless your name is CJ Wiley.
WR Travis Smith Jr (7/13) - Believe Tennessee has been the most consistent here and built the strongest relationship.
S Rashad Johnson (7/14) - Will be surprised if it isn't UGA.
S DJ Pickett (7/17) - Dawgs in top 4 (probably 4th). Watch Oregon.
IOL Cortez Smith (7/20) - Will be surprised if it isn't UGA.
OLB Byrce Davis (7/20) - Has been All-Dawg for a while. Have heard from more than one place (including Graham reporting here) that we won't have room. I kind of want to bet against those odds here 🙂
ILB Christian Gass (7/20) - This one is the most interesting. I'm going UGA if we have room. Will try to find out more as we get closer. This will include seeing if anything happens with Jadon Perlotte's commitment before this date.
S Lagonza Heyward (7/28) - Not UGA. Not a take.
S Anquon Fegans (7/29) - I don't believe we've been consistent enough. His brother transferred to Auburn. Going with the Tigers here.
OL Juan Gaston (8/2) - Still love where UGA stands here. Tennessee will push hard. Also don;t discount Oregon the way they've been recruiting. But I'm definitely sticking with my Georgia prediction and with confidence.
CB/DB Jontae Gilbert (8/10) - We were off and on with him in the beginning because he wanted CB and we wanted S. He worked out in June in Athens and we started recruiting him as a corner. More than one person has told me to watch UGA here.
OL Josh Petty - (8/12) - Not a take at UGA, too small. I actually like him better as a defensive end. FSU looks like the team to beat, with his sister already in school there.

By Jason Brassell in Field St Forum0 commentsWell, that was a fun month of June! We had at least 50 recruits make their way to Athens for official visits, and even more for camps and 7on7 competitions. There were eight top prospects who decided to Commit to the G in June:
5* LB Zayden Walker - Was a Dawg for a while.Beat South Carolina and many others for him.
4* LB Christian Garrett - Prince Ave Christian prospect staying home. Clemson and others wanted him bad.
4* S Todd Robinson - UGA did a great job getting in on the Valdosta QB early. It was a wrap from there.
4* WR Talyn Taylor - One of my favorite receivers in the nation. Notre Dame and Ohio State were also after him big time.
5* ED Isaiah Gibson - Pretty much everyone (besides maybe USC fans) knew he’d end up a Dawg. Tennesse also wanted him bad after he decommitted from the Trojans.
4* OL Dontrell Glover - There wasn’t going to be much true competition after he decommitted from Alabama.
4* Tyler Williams - Very underrated receiver in my opinion. I think he is mch more explosive than what people realize.
3* WR Landon Roldan - Big in-state get over Ga Tech. This kid can flat out play football!
Last month also included Gibson and his in-state defensive line partner, 5* Justus Terry, decommit from Southern Cal.
There were also plenty of targets who committed elsewhere:
LB Tavion Wallace - Arkansas - just happened in July, really shocked the world here, doubt it sticks with Sam Pittman more than likely getting fired at the end of the year
ED Julius Holly - Michigan - not a priority
CB Dijon Lee - Alabama - we just got beat here
CB Chris Ewald - Miami - not necessarily a priority but was a take, chose to stay closer to home
WR CJ Wiley - FSU - have him predicted to eventually flip to UGA
DL Kevin Wynn - FSU - a take for UGA, let’s see if this one sticks
ED Zion Grady - Ohio State - not a take for UGA
WR Jerel Bolder - NC State - was a take, good get for the Wolfpack to keep him home
S Eric Winters - Auburn - top target, Aub did a good job keeping him close to home
OL Jaelyne Matthews - Rutgers - was not a take
OL Michael Carroll - Alabama - this is a prospect we really wanted, good get for Alabama. They’re hitting NIL hard right now.
OL Ziyare Addison - another we really wanted. Dan Lanning is doing a great job recruiting right now.
Look for there to be many more commits in July, with the Dawgs adding a few and maybe missing on one or two. What do y'all think about the June haul?
