Why KJ Bolden's flip still says NFL dollars beats NIL dollars | Before the Hedges Dec 22, 2023

Show notes

On the most recent episode of Before the Hedges, DawgNation's Jeff Sentell went live for a special Early Signing Day edition wrapup featuring a detailed discussion on the KJ Bolden flip from FSU to Georgia. The main thing? It shows that NFL development and NFL money down the line still holds the high ground over short-term cash and the NIL money that's available to top prospects coming out of high school. This week's show also featured another Dawg of the Week honoree. That was Bolden after another trusty "Signing Day Special' flip by Kirby Smart and his staff. We also brought in DawgNation team reporter Connor Riley in live from Athens for his recap of the annual Kirby Smart presser that chronicles his thoughts on the next wave of 'Dawgs that are joining the program. Sentell also went speed round breaking down his thoughts and what folks need to know in 60-second approximate increments for 14 of the 28 'Dawgs in the nation's top-rated signing class for 2024. What is the overall 411 on the 2024 class? Sentell broke that down with the perspective of covering UGA recruiting all the way back to 2015. You can catch "Before the Hedges" every Wednesday at 8 PM on the DawgNation Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages. "Hedges" also now streams every Wednesday night on the DawgNation.com home page.

Show notes

On the most recent episode of Before the Hedges, DawgNation's Jeff Sentell shared why Fran Brown taking the job at Syracuse shows UGA recruits at an entirely different level. Brown was the top-rated recruiter in the country for this cycle. Did his departure force a single UGA recruit to rethink their decision? Nope. Nada. Crickets. This week's show also featured a drop-your-jaw rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" by the mother of a UGA commit and shared an in-depth look at why 5-star junior OT David Sanders Jr. is such a BIG priority for next year's recruiting class.

Show notes

On the most recent episode of Before the Hedges, DawgNation's Jeff Sentell offered up a Thanksgiving Treat that all Bulldog fans can be thankful for this week. That's an All-Time Countdown of the most important recruits of the Kirby Smart era in Athens. How hard was that? Like trying to pick out your favorite grandparent or Will Ferrell movie. Sentell counted them down from No. 20 to No. 1, but he also needed one tie and a slew of honorable mentions. Who would be your top choice? We also gave out a deserving Dawg of the Week honor to 3-star junior RB commit Bo Walker on the show.

Show notes

On the most recent episode of Before the Hedges, DawgNation's Jeff Sentell broke down the Wednesday flip of 4-star Dublin High School DL Nasir Johnson from Florida to the 'Dawgs. We had an interview with Dublin coach Roger Holmes on Johnson. What can DawgNation look forward to with a big DL so athletic he can throw a football 70 yards? Holmes shared his insight on the newest 'Dawg commit. The intel this week also leads one to believe 4-star WR commitment Nitro Tuggle will remain "locked in" with the nation's No. 1 recruiting class for 2024. What is the status of the commitment of All-American junior LB commitment Jadon Perlotte? Perlotte didn't mess around in his thoughts on that one when speaking to DawgNation. We also gave out a deserving Dawg of the Week honor to 4-star EDGE commitment Quintavius Johnson on the show. "Hedges" this week also recapped how the 'Dawgs did with junior college visitors Jaden Hamlin and Brien Taylor for the Ole Miss game. The visit from 3-star Virginia Tech cornerback commitment Marcellus Barnes Jr. also caught our attention on Saturday.
