Georgia Bulldogs in four star WR Agiye Hall’s top four

The Georgia Bulldogs and two other SEC schools have made the top four of four-star IMG Academy wide receiver Agiye Hall.

The Georgia Bulldogs have made the top four of Agiye Hall. Hall is a four-star prospect who plays high school football at IMG Academy. Hall has good size at 6’3″ and is committing on March 14th.

Agiye Hall is a member of the class of 2021 and plays wide receiver. Will he choose UGA?

Hall announced his top four schools: Georgia, Arizona State, LSU, and Alabama via Twitter:

Hall practices and trains at an elite high school football program in IMG Academy. His announcement is on the horizon. Hall is a good route runner. Look at this route to demonstrate his skill-set:

Hall doesn’t tip his route very much and gains lots of separation in this case. He’d be a great commitment for Kirby Smart and Georgia, which is still building the class of 2021.

49ers stay in Florida to prepare for Saints in second leg of cross-country road trip

The NFL does stand for the National Football League, and there are few better reminders of that than the struggles West Coast teams experience when traveling coast-to-coast. The San Francisco 49ers are acutely aware of the difficulties that come with a shortened schedule and rude, early awakening — a noon kickoff at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome comes up two hours earlier than they’re used too at home — so they had to adjust to back-to-back road games with the Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints.

To help manage that, the 49ers are lodging and practicing in Bradenton, Fla. this week, per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. They’ll be working out of the IMG Academy, a local prep school focused on developing professional athletes in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and other sports. Former Saints linebacker Manti Te’o is one of many clients who has used their facilities, having worked out there during his training for the 2013 NFL Draft.

After losing to the Ravens on Sunday, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and his crew need all the help they can get to rebound. They opened the season by staying at Youngstown State’s campus in Youngstown, Ohio between road games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals, winning both games. It’s a move Shanahan is comfortable calling for when the situation demands it.

The Saints benefited from an extended stay on the West Coast between Week 2 (losing to the Los Angeles Rams) and Week 3 (rebounding to beat the Seattle Seahawks), so the strategy clearly has some merit. Whether it will make a difference next Sunday remains to be seen. At least Shanahan’s players won’t be sleepy.
