Recruiting
Coley Harvey looks back on where our recruiting stood last year with CPJ. HECTICISM! It's much more peaceful this year...
Speaking of recruiting, we know this by now but Stephen Hill told UGA to go screw themselves when they offered him as he is still coming to The Flats.

Basketball Toughness:
Are we weak? Do we lack mental poise? Who knows, no one can explain it. But it's there though. The problem is known, let's find an answer...please? It's interesting how Hewitt says Nick Foreman has the "tenacity" compared to everyone else. Why is that? It's because he's a walk-on always fighting for his job. That's why.
