Following Walker and Mays - now comes Bill Norton...


Here is a quote from Austin’s interview with Bill Norton that defines what a hot mess Lyle was...

“That bad taste stemmed from a trip to Knoxville last year when he held a Tennessee offer and then defensive line coach Brady Hoke was unaware of who he was.”

So a crack became a veritable avenue of advancement and UGA’s DL recruiter leveraged it thusly...

Quote from Rivals’ Dawgvent Anthony Dasher on UGA DL Coach Tray Scott’s relationship with a coach at Norton’s HS.

“It didn’t hurt that Norton’s strength coach at Christian Brothers – John Thompson – already had a relationship with Scott.

The two were together at Ole Miss in 2012 when Thompson was the Senior Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach and Scott was a graduate assistant on the football staff.”

Appears Tray Scott was recruiting him over a year ago. Long before Pruitt took position.

DL prospects are down in Georgia for the 2018 cycle and they have targeted several out of state DLs.

Per Dasher: “recruited as a DL...loves him some Tray Scott. Actually has known for a while he was coming to UGA.”

Just don’t see any way to hang this on Pruitt imo.
