5-star QB Gunner Stockton announces college commitment
Gunner Stockton, arguably the top quarterback prospect in the nation for the 2022 recruiting cycle, just announced his new college commitment — and it wasn’t to the program many believed he would be heading following his decision to decommit from South Carolina after Will Muschamp was fired and Mike Bobo left for Auburn.
Stockton isn’t headed to Auburn after all, instead, he plans to play for Kirby Smart’s Georgia program.
The five-star signal-caller from Tiger, Ga., announced his decision on Thursday. Stockton is rated as the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback prospect in the country for the 2022 recruiting cycle according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Following his news, Georgia has seven total commitments already lined up for the 2022 recruiting cycle with all of them hailing from the Peach State. Stockton joins Bainbridge’s Deyon Bouie as the lone five-stars committed in the class at this point.
Here is a look at what Georgia is getting in Stockton:
GO DAWGS! #1 and #2 QB’s in nation commit to the G!
QB room is full now at UGA. Let the competition begin.
Different recruiting classes. BVG is this year. Stockton is next year.
Yes, but we have both back to back. QB room is full. Monken has weapons at his disposal.
The best news is the type of QB Jeff S described him as. That he comes from a family that won’t be happy if he jumped into the portal simply for not starting. That he is the kind to stick it out at UGA and wait his turn. Jeff is usually spot on about these things. Because he knows the families on a more personal level. I don’t think Jeff mentions that at all if it wasn’t true. That is what I like better than the 5 stars. Because he might have 2 guys already ahead of him.
Like I’ve always said. I think in today’s game. You need 2 ELITE QBS at all times because of INJURIES!!! Now we could potentially have 3 this year and 3 the year after. 3 for us means 2 less for Saban.
Ill bet some people are losing their mind right now. BUT AGAIN, I CALLED THIS ONE!!! A few people ignored my comment. That UGA was getting Gunner Stockton. One day maybe people will listen.
PS. Eventually people will realize. UGA IS QBU! Mullen did NOT recruit 2 star Trask. Mullen has only recruited a few 4 star running backs that can throw a little.

Stockton dropped commits to usc and auburn his word means nothing. You commit to something you go all the way. He will bolt if he doesn’t start.
Stockton was never committed to Auburn and he decommitted from USC after their coach staff was gutted.
When did Gunner ever commit to Auburn, except in your imagination? Every word linking the two was pure speculation based on Bobo winding up there.
The Stockton and Bobo families have a lot of history together, but seeing Mike at 3 different colleges in barely a year’s time was quite a wake-up call, I think.
@cola_clock……This shows what you know about him. His word means everything to him. So don’t expect him to de-commit from UGA and he won’t be in the transfer portal.
He is from GEORGIA! He was a lifelong FAN of UGA! He only committed to south Carolina because 2 x Georgia players were coaching there!!! AUBURN WAS NEVER IN THE DISCUSSION!!!! PEOPLE MADE THAT RUMOR UP. HE NEVER COMMITTED TO AUBURN AND NEVER EVEN PLANNED ON IT!!!!
Sorry but you SC fans caused this all the way!!! Y’all just couldn’t shut up calling Muschamp a THIEF and a conman and any other names you could think of. Y’ALL DEMANDED THAT THEY FIRE HIM!!!!!
Surely you knew that when they fired the staff that recruited him. He probably depends-commits. It’s not like SC is a SEC juggernaut that big-time players want to go!!! Like it or not the couple of 5 star players y’all have are thanks to Will Muschamp period!!! And Gunner was close to Mike Bobo!!! So it didn’t help your cause going around calling Bobo a fraud and poking fun of him. YOU’LL BE VERY LUCKY IF THE 5 STARS STAY. I CAN ALREADY SEE THEM IN A GEORGIA UNIFORM VIA THE PORTAL!!!!
PS. His word is gold and he is already a dawg!!! Because Kirby ain’t getting fired and he ain’t going anywhere!!!!!! Your just jealous!!!!! QBU STRIKES AGAIN!!!
King Negan
@cola_cock…….LOL, I just noticed spellchecker turned cock into clock LOL. Probably looks like I’m trying to be funny. But really I’m not. Anyway.
Go check out Gunner Stockton’s video interview with Jeff Sentell. Sorry if I spell Jeff’s name wrong. I have a terrible memory. Anyway when asked about Brock Vandagriff being at Georgia. He didn’t seem to mind at all. He said. ” Any place you go you’ll have to compete.” He said he will GRADUATE FROM GEORGIA!!!
Honestly between him and Brock Vandagriff I believe we have 2 quality young men right there. I believe he will keep his word right to the end. Because for one thing he hates recruiting or being recruited by tons of coaches. He was only going to south Carolina because he and his family have a lot of history with coach Mike Bobo.
PS. Vandagriff seems like a quality young man as well.
King Negan
Keeping that talent in Georgia, the gates are locked! Great grab UGA, Welcome Gunner!!! DGD!!!
HUGE commitment! He’ll be a great recruiter for his class and show the others to not be afraid of competition, after all look at the QB depth at UGA! Iron sharpens iron!
Great day to be a DAWG!
It is a great day to be Georgia Bulldog!
tHiS iS tHe YeAr!
Kirby the mismanager…and yet they still come.
It’s way to early but…WELCOME to the G big Gunn
Yep, Bangs aka Kirby Stupid really screwed the pouch this time.
What’s his buy-out, we need to run him out of town?
Nice pick up GA, the SEC just keeps getting stronger.
That means he will be likely our QB in College Station for our 2024 first visit, after you have been in the conference 12 years. :)
Frigging BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!
2 5-Star QB’s currently on the roster and another headed to the Classic City.
2 2020 4-Stars bumped to 5-Stars yesterday (Green and Ingram-Dawkins.)
The Beast of the East only grows stronger.
Can only play one QB the losers gonna be hitting that transfer portal
Maybe, maybe not. No two 18-20 young men are the same. Vandergrif and Stockton have deep ties to the State of Georgia.
But I sure do like Kirby’s “buffet style” for recruiting QB’s.
I agree. Kirby goes for best no matter what.
He can’t hold them or develop them. That is the problem. But we will see. Maybe he can get the best one to go to Ohio state.
“He can’t … develop them” – that is actually 180 degrees wrong and noting more than a simpleton talking point. What evidence is there to say Kirby can’t develop QB’s?
How about evidence that Kirby can develop QB’s in his now 5 year old system.:
Eason was in Kirby’s system for 2 years (half his college career) and he is in the NFL. Fromm was in in Kirby’s system for 3 years and he is in the NFL. Bennett is an undersized walk-on who was thrown into the fire as a 4th string back-up and he won SEC games; Bennett put up better stats in the SEC than he did at JUCO. J-TD hadn’t played in in over a year and is recovering from major knee injuries and surgeries, he has strived in Kirby’s system and is now a leading Heisman candidate for 2021. Actually, Fields was in Kirby’s system for 1/3 of his college career and he is about to be a 1st round pick.
“He can’t hold them” Yeah Justin Fields transferred because he couldn’t beat-out Jake Fromm for the starting position. Jake is now in the NFL and actually came closer to winning a NC than Fields did; Fields is very talented and will soon be in the NFL. Eason lost his starting job due to an injury and when he came back he was unable to dethrone Jake Fromm.
Per your logic OSU was unable to hold Joe Burrow, Texas Tech was unable to hold Baker Mayfield, TAMU was unable to hold onto Kyler Murray, Alabama was unable to hold Taulia Tagovailoa, Alabama was unable to hold Blake Barnett, Alabama was unable to hold Alvin Kamara etc etc etc etc etc etc
It’s called the transfer portal and kids wanting to maximize their playing time in college – every team loses players – from Alabama to Wyoming.
@etcjoe……..This line is as worn out as 1980!!!! Your just pissed that Kirby has a nack for recruiting 5 star QBs that Saban can’t even compare with!!! The fact remains goofball. Every single QB that ever played for UGA under Smart is in the NFL now!
The one who isn’t is Stetson Bennett. But I would say for a 5th string QB he is doing well. And for your information. JT Daniels would have went in the FIRST ROUND OF THE NFL DRAFT ACCORDING TO A BUNCH OF MOCK DRAFTS!!! Pretty good after coming off an injury and just 4 games!!!!
Your worn out line is just a bunch of jealousy.
SABAN NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER DEVELOPED ANY QB!!!! ALL HE DID IS GET LUCKY WITH THE GUYS HE HIRED!!! THEY DEVELOPED THE QBS NOT SABAN!!!
Oh and they are GONE!!!! But Saban hired another NFL coach. Maybe he will be good. We will see. But it’s not Saban that did anything.
UGA runs a different style of offense. We use the running backs as more than a wide receiver!!! Oh they catch out of the backfield to. But we run a little more than Alabama. You see Kirby remembers what won the majority of those Alabama titles. He wants to keep pulling elite running backs. You don’t do that by not using them!!!
Your very luck UGA had injuries on the defense that cost us the east. Your extremely lucky that JT Daniels couldn’t play sooner. Alabama might not have celebrated that title without all the bad luck!!!!
Like it or not UGA will own the advantage at QB for the next few seasons. At least 3 or 4 years! Thanks to Bryce Young I’m not sure Alabama will get another big-time QB anytime soon. And NO I don’t believe you can do it with his backups!!!! Because D Smith and most of those NFL receivers are gone!!!! As for we John M. It remains to be seen if he can do it under a brand new OC and being the #1 guy. Having to do it ALONE!!!
Personally I believe UGA has a big big advantage over Alabama right now!!! Since your mascot is an elephant I’ll use an elephant analogy. THE ELEPHANT THAT WAS HELD BY A TINY STRING OR CHAIN AS A BABY. NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THEY CAN NOW BREAK THE STRING THAT HELD THEM TIGHT AS BABIES!!! THEY CAN BREAK IT WITH EASE NOW AS ADULTS. BUT THEY DON’T KNOW IT. THEREFORE UGA NEEDS TO BREAK THAT MENTAL STRING THAT WAS HOLDING THEM DOWN!!!! ITS ALL MENTAL AND IN THEIR HEADS. WE ALREADY BEAT ALABAMA ONCE IN 2017 AND IT WAS STOLEN BY THE REFS!!!!!
I think it’s time UGA has a coming out party all over the crimson tide. Just like we did Florida in 2017 and will do again next season. In around 9 months or so!!!!
etcjoe, personally I can smell your fear!!!! Not the norm for a team that just won it all. But you and a bunch of others are definitely afraid. And with very good reason!!!! One last thing. Saban would have not beaten a soul with Stetson Bennett even with your receivers that are now gone!!!! Saban would have lost probably every game with Stetson Bennett. BUT UGA WON THEM ALL BUT 2!!! STETSON BENNETT BEAT A VERY GAME ARKANSAS IN ARKANSAS. AUBURN, TENNESSEE WHEN THEY WERE HOT AND UNBEATEN. AND KENTUCKY!!!!!! AND HE PUT A PRETTY GOOD NUMBER ON ALABAMA IN THE FIRST HALF.
Not bad QB development. Considering he was a 5th string walk on that isn’t big enough!!! But I have money that says Saban would have lost every game unless you played Vanderbilt with Stetson at QB. But UGA won all but 2 big with him!!!! JT Daniels looked average at USC. At UGA he looked like a superstar first game back from injury!!!! Over 400 yards and 4 TD PASSES!!! And he hit the wrong right in the hands twice with long elite passes and they dropped it. If they counted those. He would have thrown for 500+ yards and 6 TD passes!!!!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH WITH THE STUPID LIES AND ATTEMPT AT NEGATIVE RECRUITING. ALLOW ME TO REMIND YOU. ALABAMA HAD THEIR SHARE OF QBS THAT LEFT SABAN!!!! HOW ABOUT TUA’S BROTHER???? HE WAS MORE TALENTED IN HIGH SCHOOL THAN TUA WAS!!! HE LEFT SABAN!!!! WHAT ABOUT JALEN HURTS? THE ONE WHO SAVED YOUR ASS IN 2018.
ALABAMA FANS SAID JALEN HURTS CAN’T PASS THE BALL. REALLY??? HE SURE DID LOOK DIFFERENT UNDER LINCOLN RILEY AND IN HIS OFFENSE!!! I GUESS SABAN JUST COULDN’T DEVELOP THE FIVE STAR CORRECTLY!!!!!
FACT IS HURTS LOOKED LIKE DOG DOODOO THROWING AT ALABAMA!!! Yet at OU he looked better than Tua at times!!!! Need I remind you. That Alabama wasn’t the passing school they are today through the majority of Sabans time at Alabama. You had 5 star QBs leave Alabama plenty of times!!!! You had 2 5 STAR QBs transfer in Sabans first 5, 6 or 7 years. Somewhere in that time range.
Another thing. I heard a guy with 247 sort of imply that Sark is a better offensive mind than Monken. Umm really? I don’t know that I agree with that. Example. Sark was fired from the Atlanta falcons because despite having some of the top talent in the league on offense. Like Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley from Alabama lore. Matt Ryan at QB. YET SARK DID EXACTLY NOTHING!!!!!!
While there was a time that Tampa bay had a historic offense and led the NFL in offense under Todd Monken!!!! And in college. Todd Monken despite not having UGA like talent. Had offensive teams at Oklahoma state that rival anything Sark ever had at USC. Even though USC drew the bigger and better talent!!!! Sark just got lucky to work with a couple of historic draft classes at Alabama. But there is no guarantee that it will continue. So I guess we will just have to see. But so far Monken has a better offensive record overall than Sark has!!!! EITHER WAY. SARK AND D SMITH ARE GONE!!!!! I believe Waddle is also GONE!!!!!
PROOF SABAN DOESN’T CARE ABOUT HIS PLAYERS….
Speaking of Waddle. They made it sound soooooo historic that he was out there playing in the national championship game. With a scar on his knee and LIMPING AROUND!!! THAT WASNT HEROIC IT WAS STUPID!!!! THE FACT THAT SABAN ALLOWED HIM TI PLAY LIKE THAT. IT JUST SHOWS SABAN CARES NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT HIS PLAYERS!!!!! What if Waddle would have re-injured his knee to the point his career was over for good???? Fresh off surgery you don’t go play in a game if you have to limp around!!!!! If Saban cared about him. He would say NO!!!!! Saban puts on a good show. But the proof is how he kept playing Tua injured and now WADDLE!!!!
So cut the crap that Kirby can’t develop QBs. Again every Starting QB and 1 backup is in the NFL! Justin Fields time at Georgia got him ready to shine at Ohio state. Jacob Eason that transferred to Washington. He thanked the UGA coaches for helping him get where he was!!!! NFL DRAFT IS WHERE HE WAS!!!! You must have forgotten Jake Fromm was drafted!!! His down season came from having to replace every single wr and a brand new OC that wasn’t great. But he still got drafted. Our true starting QB last season JT Daniels will be drafted high!!!! And it’s Georgia who developed him in college!!!!
PS. Kirby cares about his players and does a great job.
KN
@TDOWTheGreat……..You forgot one with Alabama. The great Alabama also couldn’t hold Jalen Hurts. He couldn’t throw worth a doo doo at Alabama. But at OU he was a H TROPHY candidate throwing the football!!!! So maybe it’s Saban who can’t develop QBs!!!
PS. It was Sark doing it at Alabama. Not Saban!!!
King Negan
These Turds on here saying Kirby can’t hold or develop QBs. There just angry that he can recruit QBs like this. More star QBs have to leave UGA because of a full QB room than their coaches can even recruit!!! Even Dabo Weenee can’t recruit them better than Kirby!!!
PS. Kirby Recruits QBs and really everything better than anyone else in the country.
King Negan
@Boxeddaniel……….I can’t see your avatar. It’s not loaded. But calling him a loser already. You must be either a Auburn fan, a sc fan or a gator fan! Alabama fans aren’t usually that pissy about these things. But I’m betting your not a Georgia fan. Maybe GT? My money is on either SC, Auburn or Florida.
But he was raised to never quit or transfer. So I believe your wrong. His family raised him to never transfer. Besides JT Daniels is here next season as long as he is healthy. Then I’m guessing his backup would probably be Beck based upon seniority. Then next season either Beck or Vandagriff. Stockton would be a true Freshman. If Beck played he could be one and done with Vandagriff as his immediate backup just in case. Then year after it would probably be Vandagriff and he would likely be a one and done.
Your not talking a huge wait either way. But what you are talking is UGA football being HIGHLY ELITE AT QB FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS OR BEYOND EASILY!!!!!
The way I look at it is in the SEC you need 2 ELITE QBs at all times. Because your going to come across a team that is just stopping your starter no matter what. Or he is just having a bad game or God forbid injuries. You need 2 if not 3 elite QBs at all times. Just for these kind of things.
Alabama would be light at least 1 national championship and a playoff appearance, without that elite backup that saved them. In the 2017 national championship along with the REFS! And again in 2018! In the SEC championship game. I’m sure that is not the only time.
I can’t understand these people who think. No you can only have one great QB! Really? In our league? What happens if you have a championship offense and defense and every piece is in place. But no backup QB. That is truly elite. Suppose you have a guy like Stetson Bennett who can get you 4 wins. But when he runs into better competition falls apart. Then what if your starter is hurt for the season after so many games? YOU ARE UP THE CREEK UNLESS YOU HAVE THAT ELITE QB TO COME IN!!!! CLEMSON LOST TO NOTRE DAME WITH THEIR BACKUP QB IN AND HE WAS A 5 STAR. ONE OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY!!!!
Imagine what happens to their season if Trevor Lawrence is out more than one game. And they don’t even have him??? Injuries happen!!!! It doesn’t have to be a season ending injury. It can be a game or two!!! Without that elite QB to come in. You might just be beaten those two games. We are talking 300 pound guys flying in that can bench 500 pounds or more. Qbs are not built to get hit by a truck over and over and sometimes your line plays badly!!!!
If you don’t have at least 1 elite backup as an insurance policy in today’s game. That is like letting a baby play with matches and lighter fluid next to your curtains with no home insurance. It’s like letting a blind man drive your car to see how far he can get with no insurance. QBs almost always miss a game here and there or PLAY HURT because the team has no backup!!!!
I commend Kirby Smart and staff for THINKING AHEAD!!!!! But now that you have them. Make sure to have 2 QBS READY EVERY GAME. With a third as ready as can be!!!! ALL THOSE WEAPONS AT TE AND WR MEAN NOTHING. WITHOUT AN ELITE QB TOSSING IT AROUND. KIRBY PLEASE I KNOW HE WILL BE THERE AGAIN. BUT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DOES STETSON BENNETT BECOME YOUR BACKUP!!!!! NO!!!! AND DON’T EVEN JOKE ABOUT HIM STARTING.
I know he did his best but it’s not good enough. I give him credit for the teams he beat. But it’s the 2 he didn’t that cost us. Especially Florida!!! UGA WAS BETTER THAN FLORIDA PERIOD, WITH THE RIGHT QB AND PLAYERS NOT HURT!!!!
Look no further than last season. Our whole defense was injured nearly. 70% didn’t play!!! Still if JT Daniels plays I still think we beat Florida and hold the east!!! THEY DID NOT DESERVE IT!!! Mullen got paid off for very average to bad recruiting!!! You think UGA doesn’t win if JT Daniels was the QB? I’ll prove my point right here. Yes we had a ton of offense and defense out of that game. A ton!!! But we are still a great team. Even our B TEAM!!!
LSU was down to playing the water girl! They started a true freshman QB at the swamp!!! And they won 3 games before that. Yet the QB had a big game and they won. So don’t tell me JT Daniels doesn’t win that game!!! AND IF EVERYONE WAS HEALTHY. UGA RUNS AWAY WITH IT!!!!
PS. So have your best ready both of them with a 3rd getting snaps! Stetson Bennett has no business being 3rd even. 4TH I can see!!! GO DAWGS!!!!
King Negan
Yep, I see your point because look at what Saban has done with QB’s over the years. He has always had at 2 Elite Star QB’s at the helm. Competition breeds competition; that is just an overall success model in anything and Saban has mastered that aspect.
No one reads posts that long.
You talk too much.
Heck yeah… Beasts of the East. Y’all are tied with Alabama for 13 division titles! And 3 national titles in the last 3 decades…
Oh no wait. That’s Florida.
Florida isn’t tied with Bama…. Good try though.
Looking forward to the visit, we enjoy hosting our SEC East neighbors at Kyle field.
I hope to be there at Kyle Field in 2040. TAMU is a classy school and program.
It was…give Fisher the dynasty destroyer time
opps, in 2024 not 2040.
I was speaking to TAMU’s heritage and history, the Corp of Cadets, the the 13th Man etc. It’s a great school and a very patriotic school. I have some friends that have sent kids there, TAMU is an excellent school.
I agree. I have a very high opinion of aTm – Jimbo…not so much. What he did to his family and the garbage he pulled at SpearchunkerU…pos
Leghumper….im no Jimbo fan, but his ex-wife was a cheating ho. He didn’t hurt the family like she did.
It IS an intriguing rumor mill, but the question must be asked, what came first, the Co-eds or the Gator trainer….Jimbo thought Candi was humping a Nole but when he found out she was one upping his local co-eds with (I feel so dirty former) rival Gator, well. let’s just say that was the crableg that broke the publix back as I understand it…but you are right, Ms Kandigirl as she was known was quite the special treat…
Ditto, being a Retired Army Officer, I would like to see the corps of cadets and the band as well as the game.
Was the World’s Greatest Offensive Genius and QB Whisper even a consideration????
cojones, marsh, 2bits, nash, gatorseatsh*t and the rest of the crackheads are going to have an emotionally unsettling afternoon
once they roll out of bed
You’re upset that you got demolished by Florida.
riding another team’s coattails. good for u
@Aubie108……..I don’t know about them. But I wasn’t crazy about losing the cocktail party. But I cared more because of the playoff and less because Florida beat UGA because they didn’t!
You like so many in the media only looked at the uniforms and the score. None of y’all bothered to check the facts. How many teams can have 70 % of their defensive STARTERS OUT OF THE GAME. And still have a big ballgame? Not Alabama and not auburn for darn sure! Alabama can lose Dillin Moses and they think the world ended!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT 70 % IS??? That was just on defense alone!!!
The offense was missing another 35% or so of their STARTERS as well!!! All said. I would say the better part of 65% of the starting team was missing. And of that 65% it was our better players to. Like WR GEORGE PICKENS? You know him right? He didn’t play. And his backup makes a huge play and gets injured doing it.
And with that 65% or better of the starting team missing. I was not even counting THE QB SPOT!!!! Because Stetson Bennett had started the whole season. But the fact is Stetson Bennett is not even close to being our true starting QB!!! He was the 5th string QB! He was only playing because JT Daniels personal doctor wouldn’t clear him. Maybe Mullen was paying him off!!!
IF I DID COUNT STETSON BENNETT. THEN I WOULD HAVE TO SAY. OVERALL PROBABLY A GOOD 70% OF OUR VERY BEST STARTING TEAM WAS MISSING!!! There were backups everywhere!!! And there were even backups of backups playing!!!! I was only talking about our STARTERS!!!! But UGA was also missing a lot of depth as well!!!!!
If it makes Florida happy they beat the UGA B TEAM AND C&D TEAM FOR THAT MATTER. Then I’m happy for them. One year wonders that are ALREADY BEATEN NEXT SEASON!!!!!
PS. But who are you to talk? Auburn lost to SC! And Stetson Bennett outplayed Bo Nix as UGA CRUSHED AUBURN!!!!! Laugh because you are pissed because UGA JUST GOT THE 5 STAR QB YOU THOUGHT WAS YOURS!!!!! LOL
King Negan
What are you saying? Skipped right by your posts. You talk too much
You are right Aubie because it does not happen very often.
Read’em and Weep Gator fans.
@Dawglb……Aren’t you going to at least offer them a tissue? This is a tough time for them. And after all we are all SEC right? So go ahead and comfort little sister. Little brother is reserved for others who earn it.
PS. But really be a good host. Offer them a tissue!!! LOL
King Negan
Sorry but I will show no mercy for the Turds. Lol.
Sorry I’m so late to your party but I find all you guys extremely hilarious with all the hoopla and celebration.
In one or two years one of these guys is going to pull a Justin Fields.
When will you or your coach learn you can only play one QB at a time.
Eason, Fields, Newman…….1980
Yeah, starting QBs never get injured or benched.
The mismanaging-your-QB award has to go to the guy that started Felipe Franks over Kyle Trask for two years.
Kirby and company building that fence around GA. SC’s loss is our gain. Oh well, cuts both ways sometimes. Woof!
AMEN!!!!!
WOW! AWESOME! Is what comes to mind. I was hoping Stockton would come to Georgia, but figured he wouldn’t want to come in a year behind Vandagriff.
I watched the game when Vandagriff and Stockton’s team played each other, and both players were very impressive. I kept thinking it would be great if UGA could get both. Now they have.
Todd Monken has earned his money. Georgia now has an offense that the best QB’s in CFB want to play in.
Having Vandagriff, and now Stockton both in the fold will pay off with additional top rated receivers and tight-ends.
Georgia’s offense has evolved and everybody’s about to find that out.
@Tim Rupert……..Give me a hell yea!!!! I am happy to say I TOLD YOU SO!!! LOL. I can already see the elite WRS around the country coming to UGA! Heck I can see TRANSFERS TO!!! We don’t really need them at WR right this moment! But I wouldn’t turn down a proven elite burner with hands!!!! Pretty sure Kirby Smart won’t either. BUT FOR THE 2022 CLASS AND BEYOND. 5 STAR WRS AND TE’S, COMMIT TO THE G!!!! If there are any 5 star wrs left in the 2021 class. UGA IS YOUR FUTURE!!! I can think of a certain TE I wish we had to go with THE BIG 0!!!! Zamir White is back with Mr James Cook , Kendall Milton and Edwards and all the rest!!! RBU IS NOW QBU AND WRU AND POSSIBLY TEU!!! ALL WITH THE GREAT WALL OF GEORGIA!!!!! AND DAT DEFENSE!!!!
THE DYNASTY IS RISING
Something tells me that in the next year or two and maybe both. That the old 1980 comment won’t work anymore!!!!! THE DAWGS ARE RISING!!!!!!
PS. MULLEN CAN DRESS UP AS A $10.00 VERSION OF DARTH VADER. BUT THAT IS ALL HE CAN DO!!! BECAUSE UGA HAS BECOME THE DEATH-STAR AND IS NOW FULLY OPERATIONAL AGAIN. WE ARE AIMING AT YOU FLORIDA!
Submit to our will or Mullen will pay the price!!! Because we will melt his silly Darth Vader mask!!!!
King Negan
Hell yea!!!!
By all accounts, Gunner Stockton is a fine young man, in addition to being an excellent athlete, who comes from a good family. I am looking forward to watching him make himself, his family, & UGA proud for the next several years!
AMEN!!!!!
I’m lovin it.
hahahaha. poor vols
Yea, poor vols and Auburn. They were so sure there were getting him. South Carolina already got most of their grieving out of the way. Has Saban got a 5 star QB lined up after the hotshot freshman? I think he will be a great one. But Saban usually understands that you need a backup in case.
If Saban doesn’t have one and I don’t know because I haven’t looked. But if he doesn’t have one and is not recruiting one. That would bother me if I were a tide fan. Because he always has 2 minimum.
It would worry me if he didn’t. Thinking he was about to retire or something. But honestly if I went by looks. He looks like he could coach another 15 or 20 years.
PS. But will he?
King Negan
we have Jalen Milroe coming in this year. a 4* pro-style QB from texas and Paul Tyson, so we are not in such a bad position as you think
plus don’t question Saban. the man has 7 national titles
Y’all probably had the very best recruiting class of all time this year and Saban just keeps reloading. Kirby is trying his best to keep up. One day…
Saban always has a plan.
Correction, Saban has 6 legit national championships. Because one of those belongs to UGA!!! We were jobbed in 2017! Not Sabans fault. But I still claim that one.
Not to mention. There were 5 others counting LSU. That Saban and Kirby Smart won TOGETHER!!! Saban got one this year that was legit.
So in my book. Realistically Saban now has one and Kirby has one on their own! I know it’s not official, but it is with ME! LOL.
MY ANALOGY OF UGA & BAMA….
Neither one of us are exactly hurting. I think the future is fairly secure!!! We will be like two big heavyweights slugging it out. Y’all are Larry Holmes the established smooth boxer with the big punch and even bigger record.
But we are that youngster that looks like a bulldawg and fights like one to. LOL. We don’t officially have the belt just yet. Now I’m sort of changing history a bit. Taking a few liberties. Because Holmes was the X champ when he fought Tyson. But was sort of the people’s champ like Ali was. So we are Tyson and don’t have the belt just yet. But only a moron will say. It won’t happen. Because it’s going to happen!!! Just a matter of time. We’re Iron Mike Tyson and we are hungry!!!!
Our time will come!!! And you want the honest truth. I believe if Saban could choose a team to be the next DYNASTY. Of course he would say Alabama. But assuming Alabama just wasn’t a DYNASTY anymore. I have zero doubt. He would choose Kirby and UGA! If it wasn’t going to be Alabama. Because he had a 13 year relationship with Kirby Smart. And both Saban himself and all the experts that know say the same. Saban said Kirby was the most like him. The experts and personal friends say. Kirby was the most like Saban. Just a younger version.
PS. It is going to be fun. I can honestly say. I see UGA and Alabama both getting in the playoffs again. Probably more than once! And yes if they expand the playoff I think it’s almost automatic. Unless the committee goes crazy!!!
King Negan
Negan, your claimed national title is not in any record books at all, Saban has 7 and it doesn’t matter what you say. And all of these things you are saying are what-if questions. the hypothetical questions are pointless.
So you have to have 2 5* QB’s on the roster? 3* Mac Jones came in last year and won 2 of 3 of his starts. That same 3* QB then won all 13 this year along with both SEC & National champions. I remember him slaying the top defense in the SEC this year. If anyone should know that stars don’t always equate to wins it should be an UGA fan. Glad to see you finally realized how to take it off the all caps button.
That negan is surely a first class clown. UGA fans on here ought to be proud to have a cohort like him on SDS.
WELCOME GO DAWGS
He’s only coming because he’s getting the money.
but are you as confident with that statement as you were with your asinine score prediction of the clem/uga game on another article….8 mo from now….with no spring ball…with no fall camp…etc?
Dang, I didn’t mean to respond there lmao
Aubie 108, so he’s coming to Georgia, where he’ll have to earn it by overtaking another 5-star DT QB, who will already have a year in the system vs going to Auburn, where he would likely have the starters position by his second game of his true freshman year, and he’s doing it because of money…
What has happened to all those Auburn Bag Men? Did they run out of money?
Seriously, It is what it is. The kid wants to compete for Championships, and he’s always been a UGA fan.
Auburn couldn’t offer the Championships, and they will have to prove it with a new coach. Until they do, they won’t be signing any Gunner Stockton caliber QB prospects…
Good response. I can’t criticize that.
Uga can offer championships? Since when?
‘Seriously, It is what it is. The kid wants to compete for Championships, ‘
LMAO….UGA with that championship pedigree ……
Aubie 108, Georgia has been in the SECCG 3 times in Kirby’s 5 years (winning one) and are heavy favorites to be there again this year. Georgia has already been in the NCG since Kirby became a first time HC and came to UGA.
Who else in the SEC, besides Alabama can say same over the last 4 years.
Georgia is still clearly the superior program in the SEC East. As long as it stays that way Georgia will be viewed as your best bet to make the play-off from any SEC program outside of Alabama.
You can’t win it all if you can’t get into the Play-offs. Georgia can, and there’s no signs of regression.
“Clearly” is a strong word considering you didn’t win the East this year.
“Georgia is still clearly the superior program in the SEC East. “
That’s really impressive considering the East champ finished the season with 4 losses…
“You can’t win it all if you can’t get into the Play-offs. Georgia can, and there’s no signs of regression.”
So UGA has made the playoff once back in 2017… Seems like regression to me..
Sure buddy.
Yeah. Your bagman is broke paying Gus. Ours is still loaded.
Is what it is
I have a feeling Stetson Bennett is going to probably Transfer. Unless he thinks Kirby lost his mind and is going to start him again. Auburn might be in the mix for Stetson Bennett. Because I doubt he wants to go to hated Florida!!!! Personally I think Stetson Bennett would be an upgrade at Florida!
Is Bo Nix still at auburn? I forgot. In the back of my mind I think he either left or something. Is he there? No Nix is not that horrible. I think inconsistency was his biggest problem.
Look how Bo Nix played against Alabama in that game they won. Think about it. Auburn beat the exact same team that was unstoppable this season!!!! In fact they had 2 or 3 other NFL wrs on the team auburn beat!!!!
Consistency is what it’s all about. That is one Saban concept I totally get. Alabama runs every play probably a hundred times a game. Until they do every play perfectly over and over and over!!!
PS. That boring tiring junk. Is exactly what breeds consistency!!!
King Negan
negan, do you ever shut up? Saban broke the record in recruiting this year (2021) in recruiting point total of players; 325.46. He’s not done yet. We could top 330 with seven five stars.
Aubie 108, you’re someone who’s fun to converse with.
We need more rival fans with real expectations, that can take a friendly swipe at their rival fans and have fun with it.
UsmsDawg, Hilarious.
I’m not usually serious about trash talking other teams. BamaTime takes it very seriously though.. T
Poor Auburn dumba&&…
After this I won’t keep replying because I’m wasting my time dealing with an idiot. I’ve better to do.
You’ll be back because Auburn is garbage and you’re a dumba$$..
Bama just lost to a team barely in the top 25. Alabama is garbage… Straight garbage…
Like clockwork you came back…. You’re such a crying b!tch. It is to easy to get you worked up and crying…
Garbage..
Oh and guess who Bama didn’t lose to? That would be garbage a$& Auburn…
I called Bama garbage even though they aren’t because it’s what you’re doing for Auburn. Is Bama better than Auburn. Yup. Are we garbage? Nope. We lost to you by 4 and that was our point guard’s first game ever. Biased. Quit crying. You have no brain. Not my problem. You’re such a fool.
Garbage ..
Sure buddy.
Sub .500 garbage in the SEC..
Sure buddy
You said you were going to stop replying days ago…
Auburn is garbage.. You’re a dumba$$…
Garbage
Finally we agree…
Not agreeing lol. Speaking in terms of you.
All the jealous Gator fans, proclaiming Kirby will mismanage the QB room, will commence in 3,…2,….1…….
Monken is running the offense and making decisions on the QB room. But either way. Stockton is not the kind of kid to transfer if he isn’t playing right away. It goes against everything he was raised to believe in.
PS. He is raised to correct his game or wait his turn. That is music to my ears!!! Even Justin Fields wanted to come right back to UGA. His father talked him out of it. Players love Kirby and staff!!!
King Negan
Too funny no Gator fans have bothered to post. Another clear example of what a bunch of delusional, ignorant and obnoxious fans you are and thinking others are the same way. Moron
Congrats Bulldogs, you are getting a good one. Can’t blame the kid, just hope he doesn’t get lost in an overcrowded QB room.
Someone or two is going to get lost. TBD.
He is the kind to wait his turn either way. His parents raised him that way. He would rather ride the bench at UGA waiting his turn. Than to jump in the portal because things aren’t going right. That might be the best quality he has. Along with being a world class QB.
ON another note. I was watching a replay of sc and clemson back when sc led at the half. It was when Jake Bentley was there. I watched Bentley throw in that first half. He was hitting some NFL PASSES with guys right in his face.
PS. What ever happened to him? He was a darn good QB I thought. He seemed to get worse as he went instead of better. Was it the QB coach or Bentley? What happened?
King Negan
Still to be determined but he didn’t pan out at Utah either, hate it for him.
I’m interested to watch Hillinski at Northwestern. He is a solid kid and was on a roll until the injury against GA and never bounced back. And for whatever reason Bobo dropped the ball with him.
Although I’m excited about our new staff, I hold no animosity towards Will Muschamp, he brought in some talent, coached the right way and left us better off than Spurrier did.
Has Muschamp become official at GA yet?
That long-term relationship with the Bobo family can only go so far. After seeing Mike at his 3rd school in barely more than a year, reality must have set in.
Daniels and Vandagriff in 2021, Vandagriff & Stockton in 2022, 2023 – Carson Beck has got to be mulling over his options. I know he came to UGA for a reason and has no problem competing, but that’s a murderer’s row to go up against for the next 3 years.
Now, let’s add a few top-flight receivers. The Air Georgia show is just beginning.
That’s surprising
I thought he was joined at the hip with Bobo and was gonna follow him to the barn
Good pickup for UGA, just don’t let that crowded QB room lead to another Justin Fields situation
How much money did he get? Just curious. Also, it’s either Vandagriff of Stockton. Whoever takes over for JT Daniels in 2022 is the one that won’t transfer.
No McD’s bag here…run along now.
What about burger king bags? lol
Auburn is just another synonym for bribe. Sit dow and say my name.
This is the response of losers like you. If you can’t compete, then somebody must be cheating. Thats not how it works at Ga or most places. But Auburn has proven time and time again they cant win unless they cheat so I guess that mentality is ingrained.
10 months until signing day. A lot can change.
You are so right! History suggests that Kirby will probably flip another Auburn commit by ESD.
If that happens, money will be involved.
@George Pickens
You are a loser
You are biased
Aubie108: they aren’t the only ones that are biased. Do I think that money is involved? Yes I do. Do I think that money is involved with big recruits at every school? Yes I do. Do I believe Auburn is the exception to the rule? No I do not. Y’all are the Auburn Tigers, not the Utopia Unicorns.
Fans of the 3rd most-sanctioned football program in NCAA history self-righteously accusing others of dirty pool. You can’t make this up.
Lol you do realize that uga has just one less major infraction in football, right?
wde0012, BamaTime is back at it with his retarded self. Just click on my name and look at the post I made before this one. You can’t make this up.
Did I hurt your feeling dumba$4? Do you need to run to another auburn fan to save you from the mean poster?
LMAO… What a dumba$4..
I just wanted someone else to laugh at your nonsense..
wde0012, care to explain that?
Auburn football has been sanctioned 4 times since 1953 resulting in 9 bowl bans, which actually is the most in NCAA history. Georgia has never been banned from a bowl, or received any other major punishments. We lost a few scholarships in the mid-80s. Night and day.
UGA has been sanctioned 4 times since 1978 for a total of 4 years probation. All recruiting violations. All major infractions. Were the penalties handed out different? Sure but that’s the NCAA for you. Unpredictable. But let’s not act like UGA is completely innocent here..
Who transfers first, Stockton or Vandergriff? Two five stars in a mostly white, North Georgia, Christian high school conference.
Beck now transfers to Auburn.
that would be hilarious. I gotta be honest one of those two QB’s will transfer
It doesnt matter what any Georgia fan will say. one of those guys will transfer.
Somebody’s got to go…I get it. Just have to wait and see who.
Someone will definitely transfer, though.
That’s why you have an ace in the hole.
I disagree, these kids see what Burrow (although he did transfer) Jones, Trask have done, Sit down for a couple of years, learn the system and receivers, STAY HEALTHY. Then ball out for a year, Heisman finalist/first round draft picks.
Junkyard: is that why we are still seeing players transferring at what seems like a record pace? The 5* players will just say that the 2 & 3* players need more time to develop. Most may sit one year but will move on after that.
Saban assistant_17. I wouldn’t so sure.
It depends. If the offense can progress, like Clemson and Alabama’s has, that will show the second string QB, lets say Stockton, that he can benefit from being developed in the program for two years and play 1-2 on his way to being highly developed in preparation for the NFL.
We will see…
Tim, you make a good point. maybe I was being a little too ignorant on that post
So.
Based on what I’ve heard about Gunner, he’ll likely expect to understudy in year 1 (2022 season). I wouldn’t think either of these two would consider a transfer till the 2023 Spring season is complete, at the very earliest. That’s a long way off. Helluva problem to have.
Correct. ^This
Why the White remark?
That was pretty eff’d up, wasn’t it…
Yes, WHY the WHITE CHRISTIAN NORTH Ga statement N8rG8r? You a hater or what?
He’s implying they won’t be prepared for big-time college ball. He clearly knows nothing about Georgia HS football. Herschel Walker came out of Georgia’s weakest, smallest classification in the state, as have many others.
Had another Gator post the other day that JT was a questionable QB because he played at a Catholic HS in Cali. Didn’t matter that they were consensus national champs and had a long list of NFL QB alumni.
I guess if you don’t come out of Plant, Miami Central, or St. Thomas Aquinas, your resume is extremely suspect and achievements questionable.
I think he’s implying more than that but neither here nor there, at least he didn’t say neither one of them can’t jump very high, or dance…that would have been racist
That was my more delicate way of saying what you just said ;-)
Last I looked, a 50-yard frozen rope is still a 50-yard frozen rope, regardless of who’s on the other side of the ball. I’ll take my chances with Gunner.
I’m sure UGA will do a great job developing him and won’t have any QB transfers they regret……
You forgot to mention 1980.
UGA Haters gotta hate.
At least they’ll be transferring for football reasons and not ‘cuz the HC ignores their concerns about sexual assaults by team members.
Yeah, at 6 foot 1, is he going to be able to see the field. UGA you don’t need another dual, you need a prolific pocket passer. So two inches taller then SB and its going to make all the difference in the world? Watching his takes, no, this is not the upper echelon of QB’s. A shorter Jake Fromm, hooray! lol
He’s really not a true dual threat. I think he gets pegged as that because he puts up a ton of rushing yards in HS ball. He’s no more of a dual threat than Trevor Lawrence or Joe Burrow would be considered that.
FWIW, Brock Vandagriff is classified as a dual-threat QB too. Brock had over 10,000 passing yards versus less than 900 rushing yards at Prince Ave Christian.
Through 3 seasons at Rabun County, Gunner has thrown for 9,500 yards and run for 3,400. He probably deserves the DT label – he has really nice wheels. Lotta good HS RBs don’t average over 1,100 yards per season.
Watch GS’s tape. He has 4.6 speed
Baker Mayfield is 6’1”. Kyler Murray is 5’10”. Lamar Jackson is 6’2”. Johnny Manziel is 6’0”. Robert Griffin III is 6’2”. All Heisman winners.
Gwhite what does bitterness taste like?
Drew Brees is 6’0″ and hasn’t had a problem seeing the field well enough to break and hold almost every nfl qb record.
Good one Kirby dumb. How much money was in the bag?
It was probably in a Bones or RuthsChris bag. A car is next.
Loser Auburn fans just can’t figure out how a school can win without cheating. Cuz they’ve never done it. That’s why they assume somebody else is cheating when they fail again on a major recruit.
My biggest complaint about Kirby (and probably every UGA fan’s) is his failure to manage QBs and keep them around. He can bring them in, but we’ve had big players leave. I have no idea how Bama keeps top QBs around for years with no/little playing time. If he can figure that out we really will be on track to be competing for championships.
Tua almost transferred out – he said he would have if he hadn’t gotten his shot after Jalen was pulled in the NC game. Jalen did transfer, as did Tua’s little brother, Taulia. Mac was not a highly-ranked recruit and was reasonably content to sit and wait his chance. If Tua had chosen to come back for his senior year, Mac might have hit the portal as well.
As I see it, the only mistake Kirby made in managing his QBs was not letting Justin throw enough in 2018 when he was in the games. That was his big gripe when he walked off the field after the Tech game that year. If Kirby had allowed him to air it out more, I think he would have stayed with the confidence he could beat out Fromm in 2019.
Eason was not going to stick around after losing his job any more than Jalen Hurts was. That’s not mismanagement, that’s just reality.
As to this past season, Kirby not only brought in Jamie Newman to play QB, but shocked everyone by also bringing in JT. That looks like a genius move now.
Remember, in long-range planning 2020 was going to be either under Jake Fromm or Justin Fields. Who would have thought Jake would declare for the NFL early, especially after the 2019 he had? Who would have thought Newman would opt out?
No, I disagree with the media and trolling that Kirby has somehow mismanaged the QB position at Georgia. He’s done pretty darn well for a relatively new HC, and our QB room looks awfully good now and for years to come.
Good point. You’re right about Tua, Hurts, and Eason. Really I don’t know what could have been done to keep Fields besides starting him.
You nailed it. My only complaint is not letting Fields throw a bit more. The LSU game comes to mind. What did he have to lose, IMHO.
Problem = J Chaney
I believe you are right on most things. I really agree with the airing it out comment. I think that was one of the bad traits that he got from Saban. Running the full offense in game conditions is the best experience but neither coach is inclined to run the score up on already beaten opponents.
This class is shaping up nicely and a guy to ring the bell for others to come.
Right away bunch of opposing jealous fans turn a positive into negative. To be expected.
Hey Auburn..news flash..nobody wants to go there
Stockton finished his career in Georgia High School as the #3 all time Ga. Quarterback…behind a couple of decent QB’s: #1-Trevor Lawrence &
#2-Deshaun Watson. If that O-line is good and he has some elite receivers…watch out SEC.
My name is Stockton!
@ etcjoe – You mean like Jalen Hurts transferring to OU and taking them to the CFP the year Bama didn’t go?
It will look great for your class ranking but be real, one of them will hit the portal within a couple years. And on top of that the kid hasn’t even signed yet.
Congratulations on the pickup, Dawgs.
He’s a humdiddlydo fo sho
I’m not losing any sleep over this, until 2 weeks ago Auburn was never even in the picture for him. The talk of him coming here was all just media speculation given his connections to Bobo. That being said, there’s still a long way to go before next years signing day so if Auburn and Bobo continue to pursue him I think there’s still a good chance they flip him. Besides the Bobo connection, should he come to Auburn there’s a great chance he starts as a true freshman and if not, he’d be guaranteed to start as a sophomore, as opposed to a junior or senior at UGA (that’s assuming he doesn’t beat out brock which he very well could.)
South Carolina thought they had him because his high school coach is Connor Shaw’s brother…and he met Bobo -via- that connection. It was the
Shaw-Bobo-connection.
with all this 5 star talent kirby’s brining in he’ll be dominating the SEC east for years. When nick retires after a few more rings, Ga will likely take over control of the sec.
CNS doesn’t need a QB with a 5 star rating to go undefeated and win the natty.
PULEEAASSEE!! Either give us an IGNORE button or give negativean his own articles so we can skip over his rants!!
Sorry to see he didn’t stick with us – he could have been a program changer here! It’s hard to get the top guys out of GA – and rightfully so – you SHOULD want to play for your state team!
No nobody should like Georgia Georgia’s a terrible place. Everyone in Georgia is a P.o.s.
If you live in Georgia die
You have serious issue. Your state is already dead. Please join them.
The kid could obviously see Blobo was a toxic loser who will be fired in a year or two. Meanwhile, he can have a year at UGA specializing in dumb fake punt attempts before transferring to
OSU.
He should go to Gainesville and those shoes instead of footballs.
This kid needs to be hit with the truck. Stupid kid. I guess it makes sense to go to Georgia where you don’t actually have to do school work. Still I hope this kid gets hit by a truck I want his hand ran over so he can’t throw the football.
Please call suicide hotline and ignore advice and just do it. World would be better without you in it.
