Updated Defensive Offer Sheet 3-4

Due to some requests I have switched the defensive offer sheet and moved some of the recruits around to different positions. I originally received all my information from Scout.com and Rivals.com, however the recruits were in a 4-3 format. Upon switching the format from 4-3 to 3-4, I did as much research as I could and guessed a little to determine where the potential recruits would play if they signed with Georgia. I did leave the ATH category for recruits that I could not decide on where they would play. This sheet does not reflect what the coaches are going to do. It's more of just an educated guess.

Florida WR Gets Offer From Bulldogs

Mark Richt and the Georgia coaching staff officially offered Florida WR Phil Dorsett yesterday afternoon. Dorsett currently has offers from Florida, Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Rutgers, Tennessee, Wake Forest and Wisconsin. Dorsett will be naming a top five when the rest of his offers come in. Currently he is putting Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina as the front runners. He is also expecting an offer from Alabama in the near future.

Dorsett has not had chance to visit any of the schools yet, but will be on Florida's campus this Thursday. He is planning on taking official visits to his top five schools in the fall once he names them. Dorsett also plans on visiting Georgia during the summer.

Two of the main reasons why Dorsett likes Georgia are that the Bulldogs run a pro-style offense and he feels this will best prepare him for the NFL. Also, Dorsett feels that the depth chart at Georgia will help him to get some early playing time.

Damian Swann Names Top 5

Damian Swann has been one of the most sought after recruits in the state of Georgia this year. Currently he holds offers from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Mississippi State, North Carolina State, Ohio State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas Tech, USC, Virginia Tech and West Virginia. Of these 14 schools nine of them got some bad news recently as Swann named a top five. The five schools that were named are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Virginia Tech and Ohio State. Swann has not named a leader yet though within his top five.

Georgia could have an advantage over the other schools, since Swann is a fan of current Bulldog Branden Smith, who he played against in high school, and he has stated a few times that he went back and forth between Georgia and Georgia Tech as his favorite college teams. Swann was able to make it down to an earlier Junior Day ea;rlier this year, but has not been able to visit Georgia again due to his track and baseball schedule this spring. Hopefully, though Swann is hoping to make it down for the G-Day game.

Bulldogs Going After Cedar Grove Receiver

It is no secret that the Bulldogs are really thin in the receiver position this year, which is why the coaching staff is going after quite a few receivers for next year's recruiting class. Vincent Dallas's name is starting to emerge as one of the top five recievers in the state of Georgia. Dallas is a 6' 0" 180 lb WR out of Cedar Grove HS in Ellenwood, GA. UGASports.com recently caught up with Dallas and asked him about his recruiting "I have offers from Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Mississippi St., Nebraska, Indiana, Minnesota, N.C. State, and UCF so far, Georgia,Tennessee, Oklahoma State, Auburn, Georgia Tech and a few other schools are recruiting me hard as well. I do not have any visits set up yet, but I hope to check out UCF, Ole Miss and Georgia soon." To read the entire interview click on the link.

Dallas has a current Georgia Bulldog, Branden Smith, wanting him to commit to Georgia and has been talking to the coaching staff about offering the reciever. Dallas views himself as a big time playmaker that has the skill set to compete with AJ Green and Calvin Johnson. Dallas is planning on making his commitment before his senior year.

Tebow Invited to New York For Draft, Really?

On Wednesday Tim Tebow unvieled his new throwing motion to the world in front of NFL coaches and scouts. According to numerous scouts, most were amazed with the amount of improvement that Tebow has shown from the Senior Bowl until now. One group that was extremely impressed was the NFL draft committee in New York who exteneded an invitation to Tebow.

The NFL draft every year extends invitations to the top nine players that they feel will be drafted first. This year they have increased this amount to 18 players. The official list has not been released yet, but according to sources their will be four QB's invited, Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Jimmy Clausen and Tim Tebow.

The NFL draft is unvieling another new twist this year. The format of the draft has changed, instead of the first three rounds taking place on Saturday and the next four taking place on Sunday, the draft now will last three days running from Thursday to Saturday. The first round will take place Thursday night, second round Friday night and 3-7 on Saturday.

With the new format of the draft hypothetically a player could be invited to New York and not be picked in the first round and then have to come back for day two and wait for his name to be called, especially since they are inviting 18 players instead of nine. I would have to say that the chances this happens to Tebow is better than 75%. Of all the mock drafts that have been released by ESPN not one has Tebow going in the first round. It will be very interesting to see which players are invited to New York and who was not. Personally, I could name 35 players that will be drafted before Tebow. The fact that Tebow has new throwing motion and has shown huge strides in his mechanics and footwork should not get him a seat in New York. Tebow is invited because he is "Tim Tebow", not because he is one of the 18 best players coming out this year. Tebow should have declined when he was invited to the New York and let another player go that had a higher chance of being picked in the first round. Personally it will make me extremely happy to see Tebow sitting in New York by himself on Friday waiting for his name to be called.

Marshall Names Top 3

Two sport star Nick Marshall has been receiving offers from schools for basketball and football for the past year with some schools offering him for both. Marshall has been drawing comparison's to Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward of Florida State, which is probably no surprise to learn that Florida State is one of the school offering him. Kipp Adams from UGASports.com recently caught up with Marshall and asked him about his recruiting and who might be the top schools right now "Georgia, Florida State and Georgia Tech are my main schools right now. They are all the same right now, I don't have a leader from those three schools," he said. "I am planning on making some visits to get a good feel for the schools, and if I feel comfortable, I plan to make my decision in June." To read the full interview please click on the link.

Marshall will be in Athens for the annual G-Day game in a few weeks. Mark Richt and the staff recently attended one of Marshall's basketball games, which really impressed Marshall. Marshall is best friends with current Georgia commit Lonnie Outlaw. Outlaw will be attending Georgia Military College this fall before enrolling in Georgia hopefully next year. This could be great news for the Bulldogs as Outlaw and Marshall would have a chance to enroll at UGA together.

2012 RB Interested in Georgia

College football recruits are receiving offers earlier and earlier now. Keith Marshall is one such player, with him already receiving offers from Duke and North Carolina. The Bulldogs though sound like they will not be far behind according to Marshall "I've gotten verbal offers from Duke and North Carolina. Georgia also told me they'd offer as soon as they could, I don't even know what to think about it. I was kind of shocked at first. I mean, I was hoping I'd be one of the top recruits in the country." This was according to Mike Farrell of Rivals.com.

Keith Marshall is a 5' 11" 175 lb back out of Millbrook HS in Raleigh, NC who runs 4.4 40 and rushed for 1,166 yards last season. Marshall plans to be in attendance for the G-Day game in a few weeks. He does not any clear cut favorite schools as of now.

UGA Recruits at the Tampa 7 vs 7

Over the weekend some of the best prospects in Florida were on hand to show what they have to offer to college scouts at the Badger Sport 7 vs 7 Tournament in Tampa, FL. Some of the recruits that were on hand are being recruited heavily by the Bulldogs. Here is what Chad Simmons of Scout.com had to say about the Georgia recruits

Brandon Fulse: Tampa Evaluation: While Fulse is still likely to end up on the defensive or offensive line when he gets to the next level, he showed over the weekend that if a school wants him to play tight end, he could do well there too. He is a very athletic big man with soft hands. He dropped the very first pass thrown to him on Saturday afternoon, but his hands were like glue the rest of the tournament. He always caught the ball well away from his body with his big hands, he really used his body to shield defenders well, and he scored a number of touchdowns. He is not an Orson Charles type at tight end, but he could definitely that position on the next level.

Nick O'Leary: Tampa Evaluation: There is no question that O’Leary is one of the top overall prospects in the country. He is not the big 6-foot-6 tight end, but he is everything else. I have seen him play live in full pads and he is extremely impressive there and he was maybe a bit more impressive in the shorts and t-shirt over the weekend. His body control, his explosiveness, his hands, his route running, his ability to go up and get a ball, and just his play-making ability make him a legit five-star candidate. He is right around 6-foot-3, maybe 6-foot-4, but other than that, there are no knocks on O’Leary. He will play early on the next level no matter where he goes.

Nick Waisome: Tampa Evaluation: There were a number of solid corners at this event, but the one that probably stood out the most when out there on an island matched up against receivers was Waisome. He looks very comfortable at corner and although he had some issues with the bigger receivers, he showed he could run with just about anyone. He was the most sound corner there from his back peddle, to change of direction, to quickness out of breaks, to reading the play. He still needs to get stronger and add some more weight, but his skill set at cornerback is legit.

Richt Discusses Mettenberger

Coach Richt addressed the media on Tuesday after the team finished it's second spring practice and spoke about Zach Mettenberger "I'm disappointed, first off. I did spend some time with them and there's some more information, I want to gather some more information before I make a final decision. But I certainly think it will be by the end of the week before I have a final decision on what we're going to do."

Richt informed the media that their is a good chance that Mettenberger will be suspended for the opening game this year "If there's an alcohol-related arrest that sticks, basically, it's an automatic one-tenth suspension and even in a 12-game season it's considered one game," but Richt stated that he will not be limited to the one game suspension

"I can do whatever I want but I still want to get all the information in before I make some kind of public decision. There have been times where something was alleged that really didn't happen," he said. "I'm not saying that's the case right now, but I'm just going through the normal protocol getting any other information I can, then talking with our administration because anytime this kind of thing happens we want to be in agreement of what we want to do."

Their is talk already that this incident has knocked Mettenberger out of the competiton for the starting job. Richt stated though that this will not be the case

"It won't affect Zach's reps in the spring at all, If he's suspended for the first game, when we get ready to practice and move into the phase of getting ready for the first game, whatever day we start practice for the first game, anybody who is suspended does not get any reps of consequence."

This will only make for a more interesting spring this year.

Dickson Names Top 5

Xzavier Dickson was in attendance this weekend at the NIKE Combine in Hallford Stadium in Clarkston, GA. Dickson had been hard to get a hold of since track season started as his father stopped all interviews to let his son concentrate on his track season. UGASports.com was able to get an exclusive interview with Dickson. Here is what Dickson had to say about his top 5:

Alabama: "I like the intensity and the coaching staff."


Georgia: "Same as Alabama, and they have a new defensive coordinator and I like how he presents himself and how he says I will fit in their system. I would play outside linebacker"

Georgia Tech: "They are pretty good too and they run a 3-4 too so I would play outside linebacker. I believe I could do pretty well in that."

Auburn: "They have a good defensive line coach and they like me at defensive end."

Florida: "They just have athletes and they are just good every year."

To read the entire interview click on the link.

Dickson is currently being recruited by coach Todd Grantham and was in attendance for Georgia's most recent Junior Day, where he had a chance to talk with coach Mark Richt and watched the Bulldogs upset the Florida Gators on the hardcourt.

Did Chip Kelly Get It Right in Eugene?

Hopefully the offseasn troubles of the Oregon Ducks has finally came to an end yesterday in a brief press conference held yesterday afternoon by Head Coach Chip Kelly. Kelly spoke for only a few minutes and did not take any questions from the media. He spoke about his two star players, LaMichael James and Jeremiah Masoli, and what suspensions he would be bringing down on them. James and Masoli were both due in court yesterday and pleaded guilty to lesser charges in both of their cases.

Masoli pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor burglary charge and recieved 12 months probation, has to serve 140 hours of community service and owes $5,200 in  restitution to be paid within 10 days. Oregonlive.com has provided a link to the court documents. When it comes to Masoli and playing quarterback for Ducks, his season is over before it was ever started as Kelly suspended him for the entire year. Masoli has not used his redshirt season yet. This will probably be the choice of Masoli therefore he has a shot at playing the next season in 2011.

James was in court earlier that day and pleaded down to a misdemeanor charge of physical harrassment. James originally had been charged with five misdemeanors including one count strangulation, two counts fourth-degree assault and two charges of physical harrasment. This was very tricky situation as James had broken up with his girlfriend and was dating a new girl when his ex-girlfriend came over to see him. This can take a long time to explain, you can read all the details in the court documents. Kelly decided to only suspend James for the season opener against New Mexico.

The question now is did Chip Kelly get this right?  I am not to sure. The punishment against Masoli was correct mostly due to the fact Masoli lied to Kelly and told him all along that he did not take the computer and was no where near the SAE house at the time of the theft. Kelly suspended Masoli more for lying them for the actual crime.

In regards to James I am not so sure. The main reason for this is because Kelly suspended backup LB Kiko Alonso for the entire season for a DUI, was this punishment a little harsh, yes, but he still decided on it and must enforce it. He cannot go back against a punishment he already levied out, like he did in the LaGarrett Blount situation. The fact that James gets one game for pleading to a lesser charges and Alonso gets the season for a DUI is a little unsettling to me. It looks a little like since James was the star and Kelly needed him next season that he gave him a less severe punishment. I am not saying this is what happened I am just stating what it looks like.

Oregon Star RB sentenced to 10 days in Jail

Oregon's star RB LaMichael James pleaded guilty earlier today to a misdemeanor charge of harassment. It is unlikely hat James will serve the 10 days in jail that he was sentenced to, but will enroll in a diversion program instead to help with the overcrowding in the jails.

Duck QB Jeremiah Masoli is due in court on a felony charge of burglary. Head coach Chip Kelly is supposed to release a statement later today about what will happen to the two players in regards to the team. Oregon was a dark horse national title contender for next season, but with the amount of off field problems they have had, the dream of a first National Championship in Eugene is slowing fading away.

Bulldogs Targeting Tackle from Tennessee

One area the Bulldogs are hoping to land some recruits this year is the offensive line. The Bulldogs have one of the top offensive line coaches in the country in Stacey Searels. Searels currently has his eye on a premier tackle out of Tennessee by the name of Antonio Richardson. Richardson is a 6'6" 310 lb 4 Star tackle out of Ensworth H.S. in Nashville, TN. Kipp Adams from UGASports.com caught up recently with Richardson and asked him about Georgia "I really love SEC football and I like Georgia's program. This season wasn't their best year, but like any team they have some down times. Georgia is a SEC-powerhouse and college football powerhouse, so if they are interested in me, I am definitely interested in them. I am very thankful for the offer."

Currently Richardson has offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, UCLA and USC. Most people would be surprised if he decides to leave the south as he is a huge SEC fan as he states hear "the SEC is by the far best conference in college football from the top to the bottom. If you put a team like North Carolina or UCLA in the SEC, they wouldn't be able to win consistently at the level of even a Kentucky. The SEC teams bang heads and their style of football is on another level."

Bulldogs Targeting Top Prospect for 2012

After the NUC Combine last weekend Jordan Jenkins is starting to seperate himself from the rest of the field. Jenkins had a great workout at the combine and is fast becoming one of the top targets in the state of Georgia for the class of 2012 after being named the Overall MVP at the camp. Jenkins is 6'3" 228 lb DE out of Harris County HS in Hamilton, GA.

Jenkins currently views Georgia Tech and Alabama as his top two schools because they have been showing him the most attention over the past year, but the Bulldogs are closing the gap quickly. Jenkins was at Alabama's Junior Day two and half weeks ago and will be in Athens next weekend for the Bulldogs third Junior Day this year. Jenkins spoke with Kelly Quinlan from JacketsOnline.com and had this to say about the Bulldogs

"I think Georgia's education program is alright. I don't know much about Georgia yet. I don't really have an opinion about them yet, I am just waiting to find out. I didn't watch much football till the eighth grade. Everyone at my school likes either Auburn, Georgia Tech, Georgia or Alabama. They all give me their opinions on where I should go. I have tuned them out because after a while you don't want to listen to it."

Hopefully a nice weekend in Athens will leave a lasting impression. The SEC is not the only conference after Jenkins. He recently moved to the Georgia from Washington and is currently being recruited by Oregon and Oregon State as well.

Georgia in Top Two for Ward

The offers for Xzavier Ward keep rolling in as he's picked up two more earlier this week, from Louisville and Purdue. This brings the total number of offers to eight so far, with these offers coming from Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Louisville, North Carolina State, Purdue and South Carolina. The only two schools that he has visited so far are Georgia and Alabama. Chad Simmons from Scout.com caught up with Ward recently and asked him about both his visits

"I visited Georgia first for their Junior Day in January and it is really nice up there. I went to a game there in the fall and I loved up there. I really like the college, I like the Georgia tradition, and they told me I could be a big asset to the team at offensive tackle."

"I just went to Alabama a couple of weeks ago and it was nice there too. They just won the National Championship so that stood out the most to me when I was over there. I also like how the coaching staff has a lot of guys that coached in the NFL for a long time.”

Ward states that he likes both Alabama and Georgia but is going to keep looking at all the schools out there. He is not planning on making a commitment until after his senior season.

Why Orson Charles could be the key to a SEC Championship?

When people think of the Georgia Bulldogs and their upcoming season many things come to mind. How will Grantham's new defense play? Who will be the starting quarterback? Can King and Ealey both surpass 1000 yards for the season? Will AJ Green be able to stay healthy all year?

If any number of these questions turns positive, it could steer the Bulldogs to Atlanta for a shot at the SEC Championship. The player though that will have the biggest impact and help the team the most as a whole will be Orson Charles. Why, you ask?

Lets take a look at Charles stats from last year first. He finished with 21 catches for 366 yards and 3 TDs in only 3 starts. What was really impressive about these numbers was that he averaged 17.4 yards per catch and the only TE to have a higher average was Leonard Pope with 19.4 yards per catch in 2004. Charles has the ability to stretch the field and make big plays at any time. 

When teams are lining up against the Bulldogs this year they will most likely have to deal with Charles and Aron White both in the lineup. It would not surprise me to see the Bulldogs use a lot of formations that utilize the two of them on the field at the same time to create mismatches. When the Bulldogs use these formations don't be surprised if the defense uses a safety on Charles and a LB on White. This could help to have some one-on-one coverage with our receivers or cause some holes in the zones.

If Charles can establish himself as a serious threat to the defense in terms of the passing game, this could mean huge numbers for Green and King. As I was stating earlier if the defense feels they have to cover Charles with a safety then this can open up the receivers down field and create the matchups that we want. When you have Green one-on-one with any corner in the NCAA, Green is going to win that battle 90% of the time. If the defense decides to let a linebacker run with Charles, the offense should take that all day.

Closing thought ......you have to remember pending Aaron Murray win's the QB competition, the last time these two played a full season together, Charles caught 75 passes for 21 TD's. So they know each other pretty well and should make for a great duo.

Bulldogs on the Short List for Pippens

Of the recruits that were on campus for Junior Day recently, the one that seemed to get along best with coach Scott Lakatos was Ra'Chard Pippens. Pippens is a 6'0" 174 lb DB out of Ola HS in McDonough, GA. Pippens has played safety mostly in high school but Lakatos and the Bulldogs are looking for him to switch and play corner. Pippens had this to say about the coaches "The defensive coaches were joking with me when they were trying to get me to visit that we would all be new to Athens," he said. "It seems like they know what they are doing. Coach Lakatos told me they really like tall corners and they are interested in me as a corner. I also talked to head coach Mark Richt and he shook my hand and we talked about some stuff other than football. It was a nice feeling." To read the whole interview click on the link

Pippens currently only has an offer from South Carolina, but many schools are beginning to show interest in him. Behind South Carolina, the Bulldogs are showing the most interest in Pippens and are the only team looking at him as a corner instead of a safety. Pippens is planning on taking visits to Florida State and Florida in the near future.




 

Best LB at NUC Combine Wants Offer from Georgia

Over the weekend the NUC Combine was held in Atlanta. This combine invited some of the best underclassmen in the state, a chance to compete and show off their skills. One of the recruits that was present was Jabari Hunt-Days. Hunt-Days is a 6'2" 226 lb OLB/RB out of Hillgrove HS in Powder Springs, GA. He was voted best LB at the combine and spoke with Kelly Quinlan from JacketsOnline.com about his recruitment "I am hoping to get an offer from Georgia. I really like Georgia and of course I want one from Georgia Tech, I am excited both those schools switched to the 3-4 because I know I can play well in that defense. My brother talked to Coach Brian Bohannon the other day and he let me know they still want me bad and we are just going through the recruiting process. We will see what happens." To read the rest of the interview click on the link.

Hunt-Days brother Synjyn Days was a 3 Star ATH that commited to Georgia Tech in August of last year and will be enrolling in the fall. Synjyn Days never recieved an offer from GA last year but wanted to stay in-state which is the main reason why he chose Georgia Tech. Hunt-Days feels that with the performance he showed at the combine, the offers will start to roll in very shortly. From everything that he saying it seems like Georgia Tech and Georgia are the two schools he is showing the most interest in. It is hard to say who has the upper hand between the two. His brother does go to GT so he might want to play with his brother or he could want to play against him every year. Only time will tell......

Dickson Does Have An Offer From Georgia

Contrary to what has been reported, Xzavier Dickson does have a written offer from The University of Georgia.

With Dickson in the middle of track season his father has stopped all interviews for the time being.

Xzavier Dickson is a DE out of Griffin HS in Griffin, GA and is ranked as the ninth best player in the state of GA. He currently has offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, MTSU, Mississippi St., Purdue, South Carolina, and Texas Tech.

Mettenberger Arrested

The Georgia Bulldogs football had not been on spring break for more than a little over 48 hours when Mark Richt received a phone call about one of his players. Sophomore quarterback Zach Mettenberger was arrested early Sunday morning on five misdemeanor counts including underage possession and possession of false identificaton. Mettenberger has since been released and is set to return to court on April 27th. The arrrest could cause the Athletic Association to automatically suspend Mettenberger for one game keeping him out of the season opener against La.-Lafayette

Spartans Land Top MLB

Michigan State received some great news yesterday with the verbal commitment of Lawrence Thomas. Thomas is rated as the #1 MLB in the country according to Scout.com. The Bulldogs had recently offered Thomas but most people saw him as an extreme long shot. Thomas has been a fan of Michigan State his whole life, it was only a matter time before he commited to them. Thomas had offers from schools all over the country which included Alabam, Florida, Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and Miami (FL) just to name a few.

Bulldogs Looking to Add Another DT

With the start of spring practice yesterday for the Bulldogs everyone was watching how coach Todd Grantham would do installing his new defense. Grantham has told the media and all his players that he wants an attacking style defense that makes the offense react to what they are doing and not the other way around. One of the main keys to this defense is the "nose position". This is where Grady Jarrett, 3 star recruit, out of Rockdale County HS in Conyers, GA comes into play.

Jarrett is a 6'1" 273 lb pure DT that was in Athens last weekend for Junior Day. During his most current visit to Athens Jarrett left some film for the coaches to watch and when he spoke with coach Garner he was told that they would really like him to come to their summer camp. When Jarrett spoke with UGASports.com about the 3-4 defense that the Bulldogs will be running he had this to say "I feel like I can fit in their style of 3-4, because they are not doing it like Alabama does with a big Terrance Cody type player. I think they want an athletic guy who can split the gaps, and I can definitely do that." You can read the interview in full by clicking on the link.

Jarrett currently does not have any offers but he feels that Georgia and Clemson are close to offering. Some other schools that are showing interest in him are Alabama, Florida, LSU, North Carolina State, Miami (FL) and South Carolina. Jarrett will be visiting Alabama, Clemson and Georgia for spring practice in the upcoming weeks.

Should Bullodgs Get a Fulllback in 2011?

With the pro-style offense that the Bulldogs run, one of the key ingredients to the running game is the fullback position. The Bulldogs have had a nice run of pretty good fullbacks to clear the way for whoever the feature back or backs are that particular season. This season will be no different, as Georgia has Shaun Chapas a 6'2" 246lb bruiser clearing holes for the combo of Ealey and King, but what happens next season. According to one depth chart that I have seen we will lose Chapas to graduation along with both his backups, Fred Munzenmaier and Justin Fields.

After this season that puts one of the most important aspects of our running game in the hands of two players that walked on and Alexander Ogletree. Not that there anything wrong with players that walk on, everyone remember JT Wall. I just think that it would be in the best interest of the coaching staff to go after a fullback or two this recruiting season. The two guys that I think would make a nice fit are Tyler Cierski and Jacob Baxter.

Tyler Cierski is out of Mill Creek HS in Hoschton, GA and currently holds an offer from Maryland which he picked up just yesterday. Cierski did attend the first Junior Day for the Bulldogs back in January. Cierski comes in at 6'1" 240 lbs, runs a 4.65 40 and can bench 325lbs. From the film that I have seen of him he reminds me a lot of Mike Alstott when he is running the ball, his speed is decent enough once he breaks though he can gain an extra 10-15 yards before he is brought down.

Jacob Baxter is out of Brookland Cayce HS in West Columbia, SC and currently does not hold any offers yet. Baxter comes in at 6'1" 240lbs and runs a 4.6 40. From the film I have watched Baxter is a straight between the tackles fullback just lowering his head and gaining what he can.

Carver Inside Lineman Wants Offer

There were three recruits from Carver High School on the campus of Georgia this past weekend, Gabe Wright, Deion Bonner and Quincy McKinney. McKinney is the only one that is not holding an offer from the Bulldogs at this point, but this does not mean that he doesn't want one. This was the first time that McKinney had been back to Athens since Dawg Night last July and McKinney really liked everything he saw.

McKinney and his teammates were up at 5am on Saturday to see the team perform their matt drills and came away very impressed. After the morning workout McKinney had a chance to catch up with coach Stacey Searels and coach John Lilly and was told that they would be by for his spring practice and spring game. When referring to an offer about Georgia he had this to say to when talking to Kip Adams from UGASports.com "It is Georgia, I live here and that is my home team. I want them to offer me because I think I can bring a lot to them if I were come to Georgia," said McKinney. To read the entire interview click on the link

McKinney currently has offers from Duke, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, North Carolina and Southern Miss. McKinney has not made anything official in regards to him visiting Athens but he should be back sooner than later.

Spring Practice: Defense

This is going to be very interesting spring on the defensive side of the ball with the Bulldogs implementing a whole new defense. Besides Bacarri Rambo who has one of the safety slots already most of the positions are going to be up for grabs this spring. Let's breakdown each position and I will give you my personal opinion as to who will start at each position.

Nose: This will be a two way battle between DeAngelo Tyson and Kwame Geathers. Both of these guys have the body to play the nose position. Tyson most likely will get the start due to him having more playing experience. Richt has confirmed that these two will be the primary guys, but don't be surprised if Mike Thornton tries to get some playing time and push these two to bring their best.
Pick: DeAngelo Tyson

Defensive End: Grantham has confirmed that Demarcus Dobbs, Abry Jones, Brandon Wood, Kiante Tripp and Derrick Lott will be playing DE for the Bulldogs. Dobbs and Jones should be getting most of the snaps this fall but look for Derrick Lott to make a run at one of starting positions
Pick: DeMarcus Dobbs, Abry Jones

Outside Linebacker: The players that have been confirmed to be moving to OLB by Grantham are Justin Houston, Cornelius Washington, Richard Samuel, and Montez Robinson. Houston and Washington have been penciled in as the starters for now by Grantham but look for Robinson to really push these guys. He is an absoulet freak coming off the end. If Samuel does not red shirt he could also see some significant playing time.
Pick: Justin Houston, Cornelius Washington

Inside Linebacker: Their will be two positions for the insde linebackers, Mo and Mike. The Mike position will be your defensive captain and be calling all the plays and audibles for the defense. This position is going to manned by Darryl Gamble with the other position going to Marcus Dowtin look for Akeen Dent to make a run at one of the two spots.
Pick: Darryl Gamble, Marcus Dowtin

Cornerback: One of the two spots is locked up with Brandon Boykin as the lone returning start coming back in the secondary. The other spot could go to Branden Smith, Vance Cuff or Sanders Cummings. With Lakatos stating that he liks taller corners don' be surprised to see Cummings or Cuff start in the fall with Smith playing more of a nickel roll.
Pick: Brandon Boykin, Sanders Cummings

Safety: This should be the easiest of all the defensive positions to predict. Bacarri Ramob has one of the spots locked up already. Jakar Hamilton I truely believe will be the other safety. Unless Nick Williams or Alec Ogletree really show something this spring or in the fall these two will be the starters.
Pick: Bacarri Rambo, Jakar Hamilton

Bulldogs Working for 2012 already

The Bulldog coaching staff is trying to get an advantage over their SEC rivals by offering some  recruits for their 2012 class here is the list of recruits that have already been offered by Georgia and who else has offered them.

1. Deion Bonner, CB, Carver HS, Columbus GA

2. Vadal Alexander, OT, Buford HS, Buford GA; Offers from Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU and South Carolina

3. Dakota Ball, DT, Pepperell HS, Lindale GA; Offers from Alabama, Clemson, Georgia

4. Chris Black, WR, First Coast HS, Jacksonville FL; Offers fromm Georgia, South Carolina

5. Matt Jones, RB, Armwood HS, Seffner FL

Justin Scott Wide Open

Justin Scott reopened his recruiting status on Feburary 21st. Scott had originally planned to attend Stanford when he gave his verbal commitment on December 18th of last year. Since that time he has received more offers and is currently trying to weigh all of his options. As it stands right now he has offers from Georgia, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Stanford and Wake Forest. Scott has few more offers but these are schools that he has narrowed it down to.

Scott is known for his speed as he runs s a 4.4 40. Scott attended the Bulldogs night camp last year and had a great time. He is out of Mitchell County HS in Camille, GA. During the last contact period Mark Richt and Mike Bobo spoke with Scott and made sure that he knew the Bulldogs still wanted him. Scott plans to attend the next Junior Day on March 20th.

Bulldogs offer Jersey Boy

The Bulldogs have offered another New Jersey kid by the name Marquise Wright. Wright is 6'3" 260 lb DT out of Paramus Catholic HS in Paramus, NJ. Currently Wright has offers from Florida State, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Oklahoma, Penn State and South Carolina. When Wright talked to UGASports he had this to say about the the offer from UGA "I really was not expecting an offer from Georgia at all. Honestly, it was kind of out of nowhere, so I need to find out more about the program. But it is exciting to get an offer from them." To read the entire interview by UGASports click on this link. Currently Wright is totally open about his commitment and plans on visiting all eight schools.

Wright has family in the Atlanta area so he will not be totally lost when he comes to visit to the campus.  With the Bulldogs having a Junior Day on March 20th hopefully they can get Wright downto visit. Don't be surprised if Knowshon Moreno happens to be visiting Athens when Wright is in town. Maybe having one Jersey boy to another can convince him to give the Bulldogs a shot.

Spring Practice: Offense

With spring practice starting in just under 24 hours lets take a look at what position battles will be happening and what out starting lineup could look like. I will be giving my best guess as to who will be starting each position.

Quarterback: Not really to much more anyone can say about this situation. As I am sure eveyone knows Aaron Murray, Zach Mettenberger and Logan Gray are all going to be competeing for the starting position. Most people think it is more of a competition between Mettenberger and Murray, but it is really anyones position to take. I would not be surprised if Mettenberger beats out Murray.
Pick: Aaron Murray

Tailback: Weshaun Ealy and  Caleb King should really put on a good show between the two of them all season. It would a surprise if they is ever a legitimate number 1 next season. They will probably share the load subbing in and out all game to keep fresh legs carrying the ball. Having two backs doing this is real positive when it comes to an opposing team having to prepare for you. They have to prep their defense for two different types of backs.
Pick: Caleb King/Washaun Ealey

Fullback: Shaun Chapas has been the starter the past two seasons and this is his position to lose. The only way he is not starting next year is due to injury.
Pick: Shaun Chapas

Wide Receiver: OK, this is a no brainer.
Pick: AJ Green

Flanker: I view the flanker position as Tavarres King's to lose. King had a good season last year finishing with 18 catches for 377 yards. That is a 20.9 yards per catch average. King should be very careful though as Marlon Brown is really wanting to make an impact this year as is Rantavious Wooten and Israel Troupe. This healthly competition should make everyone better.
Pick: Tavarres King

Tight End: This will be a good battle all spring between Aron White and Orson Charles. Both as are about the same size at 6' 4" 230lbs and could start for m ost SEC teams. Do not be surprisd if you see more two TE sets this year so we can get both of them on the field. With the receiving and route running capabilities of Charles most LB's can not match him man-to-man. This is why I give him a slight edge.
Pick: Orson Charles

Offensive Line; The offensive line should be set for next year unless two things happen. First, Trinton Sturdivant is back at 100%. If this happens then Clint Boling will be moved from LT to RT and Josh Davis will compete for a guard position. Second, we have an injury and then we can address that when it happens.
Picks:
    LT: Clint Boling
    LG: Cordy Glenn
    C  : Ben Jones
    RG: Chris Davis
    RT: Josh Davis

Gabe Wright going to the Tide?

There have been reports coming out of the Alabama camp and speculation across message boards that Gabriel Wright will be heading to Alabama in 2011. Let's set the record straight that this is all that it is, just speculation. Wright recently had an interview with UGASports and was quoted saying "there's still Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, Florida State.....but its still an open process." You can read the rest of the interview here.

The Tide is still in the mix but so are other schools. Wright is planning on announcing his commitment at the Under-Amour All American Game next year. Until that time he is planning on having fun with the whole recruiting process by going to camps and official visits. He does though plan on being back in Athens sometime before the end of spring practice. He will not be able to make it to the G-Day game due to him having to take the ACT.

On his most current visit he did have chance to talk with coach Todd Grantham in depth about how he planned on using Wright in his scheme. Grantham plans on playing Wright at left end but he is such a dynamic player that he could be used at multiple positions. Wright was extremely impressed with Grantham and spend over six hours with him. He also was able to attend mat drills and spend time with Washaun Ealey and Nick Williams. The last thing that he heard before he left Athens was how much he was needed at the Georgia program and this was told to him by Mark Richt.

Possible Offer Going Out

Kipp Adams of Rivals.com is reporting that Chris Milton has been in contact with the Bulldog coaching staff. Milton is a 6'0" 175lb QB/DB out of Charlton County HS in Folkston, GA that runs a 4.4 40. Milton could be a nice addition to the Bulldog defense. The Bulldogs are looking at him as a CB or possibly a S. He has a great first step and can change directions extremely well, all aspects that point more towards the CB position. With Milton coming in at just over 6 feet he is ideally for the CB position, especially since Coach Lakatos has stated many times that he is wanting to get taller CB for his secondary.

He currently has offers from Georgia Tech, Purdue and Illinois.

Bulldogs on Top For 2012 CB

Mark Richt and the Bulldog coaching staff got some good news on Saturday from Carver HS RB/CB Deion Bonner when he named the Bulldogs as his #1 team right now. When Bonner spoke with Chad Simmons of Scout.com he had this to say:

"I can see myself spending four years at Georgia and that is why they are number one right now. I always have fun when I go up there, I really like the players there, and the coaches are a lot like me. They have to be on top for me right now."

Bonner has a laid back personality and looks for the same thing in the coaches that he wants to play for. Bonner had this to say about Coach Richt:


"Coach Richt is a great person and a great coach He always reminds me when I see him that he wants me to go to Georgia, how many corners they have leaving in the next two years, and how they need me there. He is a laid back coach too and I like that because I am pretty laid back too. I have always liked Coach Richt since I met him last year."

Currently he holds offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Southern Miss and Tennessee.
