It seems to be something we hear more and more about as the recruiting world changes. It’s not just coaches who can sway recruits over to colleges. Other recruits can and are just as important. At the end of the day, good players want to play with others and theres nowhere that has seen this more than UGA this past year.

The famous Christmas announcement of JJ Holloman and Malik Herring on Dawgnation.com gave us a saying that UGA fans now use. ‘Savages wanna play with Savages’. Dean and Walkers decision is something similar to that.  Two defensive players who have developed a bond and want to play together at the next level. If they achieve their dreams and play in the NFL, they’ll never have that choice. Nor did they in high school. College is the only time players get the chance to pick their teammates so why not do just that.
