Coach Lanning was on a recruiting trip to see Isaiah Gibson play in a basketball game, he is an edge defender in Georgia. He is there with Kirby Smart, UGA's head coach, Glen Schumann, UGA's DC and ILB coach, and Chidera Uzo-Diribe, UGA's OLB/Edge coach. I do not know the gentleman next to Dan in the Oregon jacket. As far as the weather I am not sure what it is like in Oregon, but here in Georgia it got to 8 degrees last night and is 12 right now. VERY low for us.

Before you ask, although most of you probably know...Isaiah Gibson

…could find a basketball game to attend in Oregon instead of flying all the way to Georgia!

NevadaDawg shared one of the stories being floated but other sources are leaning towards the Ducks as well. Of course with recruiting, especially in the NIL era, until he signs nothing is completely over. Regarding the sources you named usually those guys don't flip their prediction until they KNOW, but I would expect them to start flipping soon. He is a good player so I hope I am wrong and he picks UGA, but it looks and feels like the Ducks. My poor Dawgs just can't catch a break.

Unless something changes it looks like Oregon will get Aydin's commitment Saturday, congrats! Oh and good luck against those other "dawgs" this week.

I said it before and I am now telling you Nevada Dawg, Dan has UGA nation's attention. You put a guy that understands to win at recruiting you have to be relentless and frankly, ruthless. Pair that win the infrastructure and support Oregon has and you start seeing results. We still have to see if Dan can keep his staff as motivated as he needs to but he certainly looks the part now that's for sure.

This is a summary of what an Oregon On3 writer said about the UGA/Oregon recruiting battles for some big Mater Dei targets and Justin Williams out of TX: - UGA likely leads now for Justin Williams - Says UGA is main completion for Baker but he still believes Oregon will win that one. - says basically same for Aydin Breland - Oregon leads but UGA is main comp. - says if both Mater Dei kids (Baker/Breland) commit to Oregon then that would likely help land Frazier - but said if he had to predict now, he would predict Frazier to Dawgs Look I like you guys and wish you well but now Dan Is starting to meddle!

ACC and SEC currently have eight, Pac 12, Big 10, and Big 12 have 9

I would also add per Ross Dellenger at SI it looks like it may be 8 for 2024 and then revisit it later. That way they can make sure to keep the bigger rivalries in 2024 and then maybe go to 9 in 2025. SEC is looking for $5 million more per team to go to nine. Again, per unsubstantiated reports but it does jive with earlier rumors.

Yeah this is true, here is the math: 1. In a 3-6 you play six teams every two years = 12 teams. Add in the three permanent = 15 teams, plus your own team = 16 2. In a 1-7 you play seven teams every two years = 14 teams. Add in the one permanent = 15 teams, plus your own team = 16. UGA as an example below: 3+6 2024. 2025 Florida Florida Auburn Auburn Kentucky Kentucky Bama Tennessee South Car Vandy Mizzou. Arkansas Ole Miss Miss State Tex A&M LSU Texas Oklahoma *permanent in bold 1+7 2024. 2025 Florida Florida Auburn Kentucky Bama Tennessee South Car Vandy Mizzou Arkansas Ole Miss Miss State Tex A&M LSU Texas Oklahoma *permanent in bold

Good points but just to clarify for fairness, the 8 game model ensures each team will play all the other teams, home and away, in a four year period as well.

Yeah I know right?! If I had to bet I would still think it is 9 conference games and this is smoke for negotiating purposes. Thank you for the well wishes, good luck to the Ducks in the Pac 12 as well. I would hate for USC to win it on their way out.
