Da'Rick Rogers Update

The rumors are swirling like I have never seen in regards to the situation of Da'Rick Rogers. Rogers and Nash Nance arrived in Knoxville last night and will be attending the UT-UF basketball game tonight. Most people do not really what to make of this situation. Personally I think its about 50/50 right now.

To anyone that has not been following the situation here is what has happened. Rogers committed to UGA on 06/09/2009. Rogers did not waiver from his commitment for a year and a half. Within the past two weeks Rogers along with former Vanderbilt commit Nash Nance, Rogers unofficial brother, have started to take visits to Tennessee. Upon hearing of Nance's visit to Tennessee, Vanderbilt withdrew their scholarship to Nance. In the background, Nance's father is the ring leader of all this. He is wanting his son to play for a major D-1 program and has stopped at nothing to make sure that this happens. There have been rumors that Mr. Nance bought a car for Rogers, which has not yet been verified. Rivals and Scout have switched Rogers commitment status from Solid Verbal to Soft Verbal.

On Thursday night Calhoun High School had an awards banquet for the football team and stated which players had received scholarship offers and where they would be attending school. When it came to Rogers he was skipped and nothing was said even though Rogers keeps stating that he is a Bulldog commit. I really do not know what to make of this. Losing Rogers will hurt the class but it will not be the end of UGA football. I do know this pending if Rogers does decommit and goes to UT he will have a bullseye on his chest everytime he plays against us. This will not bode well  for Rogers when you have Jakar "THE HITMAN" Hamilton lurking in the secondary.
