That could be dominant beyond belief in 2022. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck No. 2 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Love it! Just reading the opening of the article tells us that Sewell and Lanning are a great fit and that he's excited about what the defense will do in '22! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuck No. 3 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Wasn't Noah seriously considering Georgia when being recruited by Lanning? It appears so from his 247 recruiting profile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 7 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Sewell took an official visit to Georgia, was impressed, and the Bulldog fans still remember him and wanted to know about his progress when I was on their board. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Author Moderator No. 8 Share Posted April 2, 2022 My question is did Noah reach out, or his dad reach out to DanLan as the job became open. I was actually afraid he would jump ship and head to Georgia. Instead, Georgia came to him, coincidence? We do live in an age of conspiracies, so why not ask the question. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, he came to the Notre Dame game in Athens in 2019. Based on reports he and his family had an awesome time, great game with a great atmosphere. Congrats you got a good one no doubt. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Dawg No. 10 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Yeah Noah was coveted by Georgia and I think we would have landed him had it not been for the existing family connection in Eugene. I have watched a fair amount of Duck football over the past two years and followed along with Noah when the Ducks defense was out there. He is great when the play unfolds in front of him but a bit sluggish many times going side to side. Lanning will get him over that in a hurry, I suspect, and make him the pro prospect that he hopes to be (although he will never go as high as his brother).

If you can't have a good time in Athens on game day something is wrong with you, very wrong. 'Tween the Hedges is a great place to watch a game. Just don't let mascot UGA literally take a bite out of you as he once did to an Auburn player after the guy had scored a TD! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Dawg No. 12 Share Posted April 3, 2022 One more point about Lanning and defense. At Georgia, competition was stressed in all position groups and I am told that practices were extremely physical. But so too was the TEAM ethic. Kirby and Lanning got the defense to always pull together and move to the ball in systematic ways. In fact a good friend, who is a big Alabama fan, paid Georgia's 2021 defense an immense compliment by saying that that unit played like a well-coordinated organism. Lanning was not the only brain child here. Kirby's defenses at Alabama played like that, and Georgia also had the good fortune to have Will Muschamp, a stellar defensive coordinator everywhere he ever was, as a planner and defensive analyst. So commentary in this article suggests to me that Lanning and Lupoi are working to install exactly that kind of climate in Eugene. He is a players coach and, if the if team leaders like Sewell and hopefully the alpha players on offense buy in, the rest will take care of itself. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
