I think you meant Eric Quigley.
I still think that USC/Tennessee/Virginia are a lock on the top three positions in the country right now, and one of them will take the title. However, Georgia has moved to the top of the pack in the chase for #4. Their road match at Ohio State this year should settle that, and I think they look a little better than Ohio State now.
Georgia is very good no doubt....but they are ranked #11 and just lost to #21 Ga Tech....how does that give them a shot at top 5?
Dont misunderstand me....I said UGA is very good....and of course you cannot be defined by one loss ever. Ga Tech is loaded and has their best team in maybe 20 years...they will likely be top 15 themselves. All I was saying is GA is not yet in the top ten and a GA fan has them in the top 4? Its very possible but lets not get ahead of ourselves. GA looks young to me at the bottom....the Swedish freshman is gonna be a beast though. I was at the Tech v Ga match and it was amazingly close...Tech won 4-3 and won the final match despite being down match points...anything could have happened. But Tech won at #1, #2 and #5 in straights sets...the other 3 matches went 3 sets.
Georgia is a joke. They have the best facilities in the nation and have had a sub par team for years now
Who can beat the Dawgs this year? Please give me your bravado reasons.
The Bulldogs dominated the Bulldog scramble. Pieters beat #1 players from other schools. He beat Clemson's #1 player. Pieters will be unbeatable this year especially because he is playing #4 this year. Who at 4 can beat him?
How bout dem dumbass rednecks?
Judging by his results, he is equivalent to any top 10 blue chip domestic recruit, maybe top 5. He should get into the top 3-4 spots at Georgia next year as a freshman, which will help their lineup.
He does look pretty legit. Georgia could be the 3rd favorite this year after the big 2. And with the NCAA's in Athens... who knows. They will be weak at 2 and 3, but are pretty deep. Spencer used to be a little weak at #1 but he has improved recently.
Wagland beat Vinsant(who beat Bangoura recently) in a match. Wagland could be top 5 in the line-up as well
2 from Georgia in Austin Smith and Casey Kay, Marco Nunez from Mexico, and Ben Wagland fron Australia

Throughout this conversation there has been little reference to Campbell Johnson. Was 9-2 in the fall and last year had a nice win over Jomby of Kentucky who people on this board hold in high esteem. He had to play behind some great players last year, but may get an opportunity this year. He can play! He was a top 20 junior and has really improved over the last year.
I don't doubt he's got game, but who's he supposed to start instead of? Spencer, Doumbia, Taboda, Pieters are in for sure. Then you got Singh and Pasha who are pretty much no brainers to play also.
I could see him probably sharing some time at #6, but UGA is just so deep. No real dominant player, but everyone is just so solid.
ku...............Who has the most legit shot at playing #2?...KU, Doumbia, Nacho?? If their is one position UGA might be hard-pressed to find wins this season, it might be here.

He won't be that overmatched
You sound like you definately know that Pasha is playing 6. I have heard repeatedly that Johnson and Pasha are neck and neck for the 6 spot. Don't be suprised if the dawgs go with Johnson. Not the no brainer The Wreck thinks it is. In my opinion after watching lots of matches this fall, Johnson is the better of the two right now. Not saying Pasha won't be by the time the postseason rolls around, but right now Johnson has the edge..
