I love the immediate uptick in recruiting. Mora hit the ground running and is bringing in guys with numerous D1 offers. Lots of reasons to be optimistic.

Welcome Isiah!

Size, but can he tackle? One thing I've noticed the last few years(decade) is so many missed tackles.

He's scrappy, has burst and plenty of cut ability. For his size he shows some strength. Highlights suggest he is more adept at offense...but of course highlights can be deceptive. Looks like he has some dawg in him and that is what this team needs.

Jeremy Lamb and Ricky Moore were basketball players from Georgia who had great careers at UConn and won National Championships.

Ed Nelson was a basketball player who transferred from Georgia Tech and won a National Championship at UConn.

He also signed a two year contract with the NFL Rams to play tight end but never made the team, struggling to switch sports at the professional level.

Correct me if I'm wrong but was Geramy Davis who went to NFL. ( I was too lazy to look. I go in at 3:30 and getting ready for bed)

Georgia is probably the hottest hotbed for recruits right now. We might have found a diamond in the rough.

Welcome to the dawg pound Isiah!

He could be a big DB, but I suspect the next time we see Mr. Davis it will be as a RS FR 6'1" 215lb linebacker. This guy looks like an athlete and we have a definite need for a guy that can hold his own at the 2nd level or drop back into coverage. If you can't find ready made linebackers then make them.

We need football players. We should have learned our lesson that track stars don’t make up for taking bad angles and missing tackles. I think Georgia generally produces kids that know how to play football, so bring on Mr. Davis.

A blip from Recruit Georgia.

"Davis showed good promise his sophomore year at Hughes, and is now at Creekside. The 2022 cornerback has a quick backpedal. He is able to pressure receivers and knock them off their release. Shows pretty strong hands. At 6’1″ and 183 lbs. he has very good size at corner, his physicality suggests nice upside as a boundary corner. He has above average size and good acceleration attack the offense. Davis has a good frame and should continue to add weight and be around 200 after a few years in college. Davis plays with a physical mindset and is looking to dominate his opponent. He is a heads-up player and does a nice job getting his head around to attack the pass. Hip quickness and short space agility is just okay, and wonder if safety is a better fit at the next level."
