Georgia 5-star OL commit reportedly decides to not sign early after rival makes strong push
Georgia’s top offensive commitment reportedly won’t be signing with the Bulldogs during the Early Signing Period.
Chad Simmons of Rivals is reporting that Broderick Jones, a 247Sports Composite 5-star offensive tackle out of Lithonia, Georgia, will be waiting to sign until February’s National Signing Day. It appears that rival Auburn has made a strong enough push to keep Jones from signing with Georgia. Simmons reports Jones will visit both AU and UGA in January before signing in February.
Listed at 6-5, 275 pounds, Jones is the No. 2 offensive tackle, No. 3 Georgia product and No. 19 prospect overall nationally in the class of 2020. He committed to the Dawgs back on April 26, 2018. His highlights can be viewed below:
I confirmed it once again today. Five-star OL Broderick Jones doe not plan to sign in the Early Signing Period. He is a #UGA commit and the #Dawgs tried. They sent the papers, but he does not plan to sign. Will visit #Auburn and UGA in January. #RivalsNSD https://t.co/1yqUorLEGY pic.twitter.com/wwBXjUCxH3

Shoo awwburn…shoo
Every recruiter is pulling out all the stops to sign em, but a flip from this kid is surprising, as I thought he was a strong-commitment to become a Dawg. But at the age of 18…hmmm, we all made some strange decisions, right ? UGADawg78…Great comment ! Shoo awwburn…shoo.
There are strange decisions and there there is thinking auburn can develop you as an OL. That crosses the line into “bizarre”.
LOL
I thought it was already known that he wasn’t signing until February.
It was, but this is more dramatic.
Is his criminal history strong enough to get into Auburn?
Needs to processed by Athens PD first..
Terrible come back. Terrible.
But accurate..
I thought it was funny. If he commits to UGA, ACCPD will be tailing him from the moment he enters Clarke county.
Pretty accurate–if he drops a napkin on the ground and leaves it there for more than 30 seconds they’ll probably send in the SWAT team.
He’s considering going to Georgia. To most in the civilized world, that’s pretty darn criminal.
Given that UGA is the top SEC school in the Phil Fulmer cup and has been the top school the last couple years, there is no room for you to talk.
Where do they find you embeciles at
it’s like UF is the fandom of choice for zombies, cretens and short-bus riders
LOL, your attempt at a snide remark shows your intelligence level.
Nice try at spelling imbecile and cretin.
Instead of proving everyone of your idiocy, I recommend that you just hold back on commenting.
Weren’t you just crying over in a gator forum about “UGA trolls on this forum”??? Hypocrite much?
Nope, I couldn’t care less who posts where. I just post observations when you don’t really add anything to a thread.
You certainly have been really touchy lately from the posts I have seen you write.
Congrats, at least you spelled Hypocrite, unlike your brethren troll TDOW who can’t seem to string together complex thoughts or spell correctly.
A misspelled word or two, nobody remembers next week.
UGA kicking mullet’s and UF’s aasses year after year, Kirby out recruiting mullet in the state of Florida, you crackheads still trolling UGA articles, me living rent free in all those pea sized craniums …
24-17 chump
Everyone pretty much knows you’re an imbecile TDOW.
Remember, you reap what you sow.
Fulmer Cup is the real deal DumbsOfWar and as far as embeciles and cretens, LOL, only in Athens
crackheadettes
It’s way beeeeeyond rent free
Making fun of someone is understandable but let’s not drag special needs kids into it. They’re kids and can’t help it.
This from a gator fan who had Urban Meyer as a coach who had Aaron Hernandez on his team.
stop being butthurt cause UGA whipped dat ass. js oh and yeah LSU beat dat ass. so stop crying and move on loser
Must be pretty strong if ThUGA wants him.
Says a troll of the university that uses a wing of the Lee County jail as their football dorm. I wonder how Cam Newton’s dad is doing with his church and that $200,000 “surprise” he got?
yea, ask George Pickens how quick his momma cashed that checj to flip. 1980 fockboy, never forget.
You must be inbred to be a Bama fan taking up for Auburn.
SDS is playing Capt Obvious again
This has been known for some time
Jones is just being prudent given Pittman’s departure, he’ll be a Dawg when it’s all said and done
Old news. Huge recruit though, absolutely need to retain his signature.
I still feel he signs with the dawgs. Don’t mind him making sure he’s making the right decision. Rather him do it now than get here than transfer.
Prudent on his part but once he’s comfortable with Matt Luke we’ll probably keep him.
Yes, this was already known and reported. It’s true that the departure of Pittman has made him look a little harder at Auburn but unlike the Braun kid, he did not, and has not, decommmitted from the Dawgs. He wasn’t going to enroll early so whether he signs today or in February, makes no difference. But does anyone know if Arik Gilbert is having second thoughts? Is he supposed to do something at a certain time on TV or something?
It don’t matter. Auburn will convert him over, then the morning he is supposed to sign with them, Alabama will swoop in with handfuls of cash and he will join the disciples of Saban.
As is traditional.
The wit, the charm, the relevance, and so pithy
did you come up with all that by yourself
It’s well known that at Alabama we don’t use cash. Dodge Chargers bring the recruits in and the kids even get to choose the color!
I hope he does give us a serious look. We really need a talent like him.
HERE’S THE BOTTOM LINE AS ALWAYS WITH ME………According to the rest. Jones was OVERRATED when it was obvious he was coming to UGA!!!!!
Now because of Pittman and a little question mark. Suddenly everyone wants this ELITE O LINE RECRUIT!!!
Well here goes the TRUTH!!!!!
Sam Pittman could recruit and did. But the HE LOVES HIS GUYS story. That is the real question to me!!!
Remember, he left a whole line of recruits to follow Kirby to UGA!!!!! Now on a moment’s notice with hardly a goodbye. Off he runs to coach Arkansas leaving a number of players he recruited and LOVED!!! Along with the whole UGA 2020 class that he loved!!!!
BS!!!!!! Pittman loves Pittman!!!
Also, yes he is an elite recruiter but as a coach. Hmm, I have serious questions???? The offensive line that uga HAD AND HAS is the most elite group of talent anyone ever put together!!!!
Yet there were times that we couldn’t line up and get a yard when needed!!! NOT 1 single yard many times under Pittman!!!!!
So here is my expert take…….
A. Pittman can recruit.
B. He does NOT truly love any of his players!!!! It’s all talk.
C. He is NOT truly an elite o line coach!!!! Average at best!!!!!
If he was an elite coach. Then UGA would have had the greatest line in all history of anyone ever!!!! They were not even in the conversation for top offensive line!!!! I kept hearing about Wisconsin or Oregon or just about any decent line. But not much about UGA unless it was to talk about how the line was good but underachieving!!!!!!! We need our players that can go pro NOT TO!!!!!!! Don’t allow a great window to close!!!!
I would bet we signed a better big man coach. And I believe the line will prove it next season!!! Maybe even some this year!!!!
Don’t allow that window to close!!!! Come back just ONE MORE SEASON!!!!! You were BETTER THAN LSU!!! And because of injuries you never even had the chance to prove it!!!!! I still believe in UGA!!! DO LIKE CLEMSON DID!!! COME BACK ONE MORE YEAR AND DOMINATE COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!!!
ONE MORE YEAR!!!!! And don’t let us down vs Baylor!!! They are a great team!!!! But so are we!!!! ITS HIGH TIME TO SEE THAT DAWG NATION PRIDE SHOW IN EVERY GAME!!!!! Because YES it does absolutely matter!!! I’M STILL PROUD OF YOU AND I WANT IT TO END RIGHT THIS TIME!!!!
PLOT AGAINST UGA!!!
Putting Florida against ACC Virginia while putting UGA up against BAYLOR. To me it’s obvious. They want to try that CRAP of ranking Florida higher than UGA again, even though UGA BEAT THEM 3 STRAIGHT YEARS!!!!!
They believe a struggling UGA offense without its o line coach that has been there. They think UGA will be EASY PICKINGS against Baylor. While at the same time Florida they think will destroy UV!!! REMEMBER THEY PUT THEM IN ” THE ORANGE BOWL!!! ”
What a joke making UV the so-called home team in THE ORANGE BOWL????? And letting them play Florida in Florida!!!!
I’m telling you. THIS IS ON PURPOSE!!!!! This is once again THE SEC, THE MEDIA AND ALL OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. They are still CONSPIRING AGAINST UGA!!!! They want Florida the higher ranked team again the whole off season again, EVEN THOUGH THEY DON’T DESERVE IT!!!!!
PS. THAT IS WHY UGA NEEDS TO SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT VS BAYLOR!!! Not to mention LETS SHOOT FOR THE #1 CLASS OF 2020 AND KICK A$$!!!!!
Message to Broderick Jones
Broderick Jones, sir you belong at UGA!!! WE STILL LOVE YOU ENOUGH AT DAWG NATION FOR 10 Sam Pittman’s!!!!!!!! And I believe Luke is the better actual coach!!!! UGA IS STILL ELITE AND STILL THE TOP PLACE TO BE!!!!!
LSU has NOT passed UGA in just 1 lucky season!!!
I believe OSU can beat them!!!! This season maybe even OU can beat them MAYBE!!!! Healthy, UGA WAS AND IS STILL THE CLASS OF THE SEC AND THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!
MESSAGE TO ELITE DEFENSIVE PLAYERS
WHO PLAYED THE BEST DEFENSE ALL YEAR IN THE SEC???? That would be UGA!!!! Come be great at THE NEXT TRUE DYNASTY and HAVE THE MOST FUN!!!!!!
Thank you to those recruits who still said yes and those who chose UGA!!!! We love you for life. So welcome to the family of Dawg Nation!!!! And may God bless you all who considered UGA I hope even if you don’t choose UGA. I STILL WISH YOU HEALTH AND ALL THE BEST. ESPECIALLY LOVE!!!!
FOR GOD IS LOVE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL FROM ALL OF DAWG NATION!!!!! WE’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!!!!!
King Negan
How many shots of Johnny Walker did you have when you wrote this crap
I believe he chugged a bottle of that “Carolina Moonshine’…definite crap.
King Negan, please lay off the whiskey and cocaine a little this holiday season.

Dude, go easy on the CAPS. For all of us.
i do not know what to think about king negan but he made one point that is clear if pittman is such a great coach why could the highest rated offensive line in the country not get 1 yard when needed
i suspect this luke will be much better on short yardage next year and i have no idea how good this new QB is but he is 2 inches taller than fromm and i hope this makes a difference in having the guts to throw over the middle like burrow
the dogs now have the recievers who mirror bama in being able to take 5 yard over the middle and take it to the house
burrow was great athlete but those 5 yards throws are a lot easier to complete than fromm back shoulder side lines
i suspect that is one of the reasons fromm regressed in 2019 since the defense did not need to cover over the middle against the dogs
Jake From can make the throws, but somehow this year he seemed “distracted” or just not properly coached “mindset-wise”. Yes, I’ve heard all the “rookie receivers” stuff, etc. But when a Junior Quarterback digresses, there is some kind o f problem. He’s a smart QB, but threw some awful picks in that South Carolina game. I just do not know what happened to Jake this year. He probably will come back, to improve his draft stock, since the major $$$ when drafted comes in the early first round, not 2nd round.
This one isn’t rocket science. Malzahn recruiting against Saban and Smart has the perfect argument for 4 and 5 star rated players. If you go to Alabama or Georgia you probably will not play until you are a Sophomore or Junior because you will be just another 4 or 5 star player among many. If you come to Auburn we will immediately prepare you to play and you will likely play as a Freshman because we have no choice and as a Junior or Senior you will be ready for the NFL.
Especially since he just avoided signing anyone for the OL for a good 3 years
Since Gus has been on the plains he hasn’t quite had the time to get ‘his players’ in the system. That’s what he’s said for years! “We’re young!”
Saturday Down South is fake news click bait, he never planned to sign early. Try some real journalism next time and/or get new, real sources
georgia should have done more “shooing” if this kid changes his mind on only 1 of the top 20 in the state would have signed with uga
