Breaking: Amidst Rumors And Controversy, Ryan Montgomery Makes His Final Decision About…
Ryan Montgomery, South Carolina’s top quarterback target, committed to the Georgia Bulldogs on Wednesday afternoon, dealing a severe blow to the football team’s recruiting campaign. The loss hurts for multiple reasons, including how it turned out in the end and what it implies for Dowell Loggains’ goal board going forward in this cycle, assuming that this commitment holds true for the remainder of the cycle.
To start with the outcome, for the longest time the Georgia Bulldogs were primarily seen as the third-place team in this recruiting class, with Florida and South Carolina fighting for first place. But, it seems that Georgia has stepped up their efforts recently after some prior recruitments did not work out, and given their current situation, Ryan and his family were unable to ignore it.
With regard to the remaining targets, it’s unclear where the Gamecocks will go next because local product AJ Brand is seen more as an athlete who could play several positions at the next level, while other quarterbacks like Deuce Knight and Will Wilson have committed elsewhere.
Going forward, Carolina’s best option might be to hang around on Montgomery and try to talk him into coming to Columbia where he’ll have a greater chance of reaching his goals on a personal level, but given the timing of these recent events, the chances of that happening appear extremely slim.
