Georgia Football: Time for a little patience in recruiting

There is a chance of a flip:

Ah, the flip. It’s like the recruiting version of a pick 6. Nothing seems to swing momentum more in your favour. Georgia had a big one of these last year when it was able to get Trey Bishop from Auburn. There are certainly several rumours out there on message boards right now suggesting that we could see another and soon.

Justin Fields has long been considered a guy who is going to convince some players to flip to Georgia. While he’s going to be a magnet for some uncommitted players, he’s the kind of guy who some will leave their current classes to play with. That’s how good he is. But it’s not just Fields. This coaching staff worked their tail off to get Fields to do exactly the same. Kirby Smart and his coaches have shown time and time again that when they want someone, they will fight incredibly hard to get them.

So who could they be looking at right now? Robert Cooper the DT from Gwinnett is one. He’s a force in the middle and would be exactly the kind of player UGA would love. He’s committed to Florida State right now but Georgia is pushing. I wouldn’t expect him to flip soon though. He has said he will visit other schools before deciding. He’s on a signing day timeline right now.

No the player to look out for right now is LB Otis Reese. Reese is committed to Michigan and has been for a while. But he’s been seen at several UGA games recently and seems to be wavering on his commitment. Reese could be a natural to play the Roquan Smith role at Georgia and that’s a coveted position right now. He’s the most likely to make that decision before December.
