It's official: George MacIntyre's recruiting has blown up

Post by BrentVU »

Sophomore QB George MacIntyre (6-5, 180, Brentwood Academy) now has an offer from Alabama in hand. The grandson of the former Vanderbilt coach already had offers from Vanderbilt, Tennessee, LSU, Michigan, Colorado, Auburn, and Ole Miss, just to name a few.

Vanderbilt was one of the first to offer young George, but we're still a long way away from December 2024, when he will be able to sign with someone.

Alabama just hired Notre Dame's Tommy Rees as offensive coordinator, and according to this article in the Tennessean, it was Rees who convinced Nick Saban to make the offer.

Brent, are you hearing anything about who is leading. I realize this is very, very early.

Alabama's recruiting pitch: if Jalen Hurts ended up not starting here, we sure as hell can't assure that you will.

Very persuasive.

Alabama's pitch is EXACTLY how they pitched to Bo Jackson when he was coming out of high school. They told him he MIGHT play his sophomore year but wouldn't see significant minutes until his junior year.

the Alabama pitch is, if one of the half dozen other 4-5* guys we are also offering don't commit, and if the other 4- 5* guys on our roster either get hurt or transfer or get better NIL deals, you are our guy

There are four year starters who never get an invitation to the Combine and can’t draw a scout to their pro day. It’s a different time from Vincent Jackson’s day, and with early entry to the draft, the wait to start isn’t always what it seems. Hurts did okay for himself after losing the starting position, Tua and Bryce got by okay on two years as the starter and Mac Jones maximized his opportunity with only one.

Poach has now made his offer to 16-year-old George.

There has been more and more talk lately that George might be more of a basketball prospect than a football prospect. He garnered lots of accolades this past season for his play on the court; by his senior year, he could be a dominant big man.

With a little help from Doc Kreis, he might put on a few more inches and opt for hoops.😂

Kirby Smart and Georgia offered MacIntyre on Tuesday. They're a little late to the party-- it's ONLY midway through his sophomore year-- but yep, that makes it just about everybody.
