A New Recruiting Year Begins

Now that National Signing Day has come and past we can do two things:

1. Look at our recruiting class and not be happy with who we landed. While, we dwell on the fact that we missed on this guy and we missed on that guy.

2. We can be happy with the class that we have which is full of guys that wanted to play for the Dawgs and will give their all everyday.

Personally I would prefer to do the latter. Everyone needs to remember that the day after National Signing Day 2010 is the first day of major recruiting for our 2011 class. Georgia already has two commitments from two recruits in the state of UGA. As of right now these two recruits are 3 Star guys but it would not surprise me if at least one of them., Chis Sanders, is a 4 Star by the fall. UGA has put out more offers to in-state recruits at this point then ever before. This is the reason why we have these two recruits already committed, I can not remember the last time we had two guys committed this early in the recruiting period. Coach Todd Grantham has stated:

"Over the last 11 years, I’ve evaluated a lot of players from this state, and I’ve always believed that if we took the best players in the state of Georgia and within a five-hour radius of our school, if they come to the University of Georgia, we can win the SEC championship and compete for a national title, I think you can be better than Florida, you can be better than Texas, and you can be better than Southern Cal if those players come to Georgia.”

Grantham truly believes this statement, which is one of the reason why UGA has offered so many recruits already. You can quote me on this, UGA will have a top 5 class next year with the majority of our recruits coming in state. ESPN showed a map last night of where the ESPN 150 recruits come from, Georgia was #4 on this list behind California, Texas and Florida. University of Texas every year fields a majority of their team from in-state players. Their is no reason why UGA should not be able to this. All we have to do is keep these kids in the state they grew up in and know so well. From looking at all the juniors right now in the state of Georgia this will be one of the best classes to ever come out of UGA.

Hopefully this year though we will not a any certain rich father, he will remain nameless for now,  trying to get his 3rd string QB son a scholarship and steal a player from UGA. Personally, I think it was for the best that we lost Rogers. The more research I do it sounds like he had no work ethis and some character issues. I will have a full writeup when I complete my research
