Jay Rome Names Top 5

Jay Rome recently released the top 5 teams that he is considering, Georgia, Clemson, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama all made the cut. Rome was recently in Athens to visit the Bulldogs and really enjoyed his trip. While Rome was in Athens he had chance to see the dorms and watch the team practice. He was really impressed with how Georgia incorporates the tight ends into their offense. He liked that Georgia uses their tight ends like many pro teams use them.

Rome is not one to shy away from competition, some people think that with the amount of talent Georgia currently has at tight end will turn Rome away, but that is not case. He loves competition and would love a chance to compete against Orson Charles and Aron White for playing time.

Pretty busy week from a recruiting standpoint with quite a few team gaining recruits. There were a total of 9 recruits who gave their verbal commitments. Georgia gained Chris Conley and Devin Bowman while Alabama picked up the #1 safety in the country in Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix.

Bulldogs Leader with Sophomore RB

Armwood High School running back Matt Jones already is receiving offer from schools and he has not even started his junior year yet. Currently, Jones has offfers from Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. At 6' 3" 217 lbs Jones is a monster of a running back, he likes to compare himself to Eddie George and Brandon Jacobs. Jones thinks that most schools will move him to linebacker or defensive end, but running back is where he really wants to play. With his heart set on playing in the backfield, he has decided at this point that Georgia is his leader. This should really come as no surprise, when you look at Florida, South Carolina and Georgia, which of these three constantly puts running backs in the NFL. The answer of course is Georgia. Lets just hope that Georgia stays on top for the next two years.

Bulldogs Near the Top with Wilder

James Wilder is good friends with current Bulldog Orson Charles and really looks up to him as a man and as a player. With Wilder having such a close relationship with Charles one could only believe that this means nothing but good things for the Bulldogs. The FlaVaristy is reporting that Wilder wants to play running back in college. Wilder currently is lookingt the hardest at Georgia, Florida and Florida State. When you look over the past 10 years and compare schools as to which one constantly puts running backs into the NFL, there is no question that the Bulldogs are #1. Currently Wilder is planning on visiting Athen this summer.

Devin Bowman Commits to UGA

Mark Richt and the Georgia coaching staff got some great news today as Devin Bowman announced his verbal commitment to Georgia. Bowman had offers from Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Notre Dame and Oklahoma State. Some people were worried that Bowman would commit to the Tide if they offered due to the fact that Bowman's brother, Micheal Bowman, is a WR for the Tide.

This is Georgia's sixth commitment this year and all six so far have been from the state of Georgia. Some people have been worried that Georgia can not hold on to its in-state talent, it would be hard to argue that so far this year.

Sterling Bailey Announces Top 6

Sterlng Bailey has a long list of offers from schools all over the U.S. TOday hew decided to trim that list to 6 schools. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Notre Dame and South Carolina all made the cut. Bailey cares a lot about his spirtuality and academics as well as the scheme that will be run at each school.

Bailey has established a relationship with coach Mark Richt that goes beyond football. Bailey stated that with Richt is is always more than just football, coach Richt is already helping him to become a better man even before he decides where he going to attend.

Conley Commits to Bulldogs

Rumors had been circulating after last weekend that Chris Conley was closing in on making his commitment. Conely announced through his his high school coach Heath Webb that he would verbally commiting to the University of Georgia. Conley chose the Bulldogs over Alabama, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Maryland, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest. Conley had this to say about his recruitment "Today my family and I are ending my recruitment. This decision was reached through much traveling and research but ultimately prayer. Through all of this, I have come to decide that I will be attending the University of Georgia." Conley will be a great addition to what is already looking like an oustanding class for 2011.

Dantzler Not Going to Commit Until November

Watts Dantzler has made many trips to Athens recently but this did not keep him from visiting for G-Day this past weekend. Dantzler is currently rated as the #20 OT in the country by Scout.com and his stock should only rise as his senior year approaches. Dantzler did learn one thing this past weekend he is becoming a well known face on Georgia's campus and this is not just with the coaches. Dantzler was surprised when he was walking around during the game and shouts started coming from the stands asking Dantzler when he was going to commit. Dantzler had a chance to meet some of the Georgia fans and was overwhelmed that they knew who is was.

Dantzler named a top a five recently which included Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. Many people believe that the Bulldogs are in the lead by a pretty good margin, especially since Dantzler grew up a Bulldog fan. Rumors have been circulating that Danzter has been recruiting for the Bulldogs when he is on campus, one would have to wonder if this makes him a "silent commit". Their is nothing to back these claims up they are just rumors. Dantzler is really enjoying the recruiting process and taking his visits to all the different campuses around the south. He has stated on numerous occasions that he plans to verbally commit on his birthday, November 16th. I personally would be extremely surprised to see Dantzler in any uniform except a Georgia one.

Bulldogs in Lead For Ridgeland Athlete

One of the fastest rising stars in the state of Georgia was in town for G-Day this past weekend. Devin Bowman made his first trip to the University of Georgia and was greeted by none other then Head Coach Mark Richt. Bowman comes from a line of division one talent as his two brothers both play for D-1 schools, Adarius Bowman (Oklahoma State) and Micheal Bowman (Alabama). Bowman has been making a name for himself throughout the state of Georgia and currently has offers from Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Notre Dame and Oklahoma State. Bowman has been gaining a lot of interest from Alabama and expects them to offer soon.

Bowman came away really impressed with the Bulldogs and enjoyed the one-on-one time he had with coach Richt when he rode with Richt over to the G-Day game in his truck. Bowman and Richt had a chance to talk about football, academics, and why Georgia wants Bowman. Bowman has stated the only other school that will compete with them for him is Alabama, but the Tide has not offered yet. Currently Bowman has stated that the Bulldogs are in the lead.

Bowman has became a fan of current Bulldog Brandon Boykin and spend most of the game watching him, but he paid attention to the offense as well, as he does not know for certain where the Bulldogs would play him. Most people think Bowman would play corner for Georgia and with him coming in at 6-0 you know that makes coach Lakatos happy.

A bunch of teams gained points due to Scout.com giving out more stars to players when they released their top 300 this week. Florida also jumped 2 spots when they received a verbal commitment from Jeoffrey Pagan.

Gators Land 4 Star DE

Urban Meyer and the Gators received some great news on Friday as Jeoffrey Pagan, 4 Star DE out of Asheville, HS in Asheville, NC verbally commited to them. Pagan had been in attendance for the Florida spring game but decided to let the Florida coaching staff know of his commitment before the game. Pagan informed Meyer of his decision Friday night.

Georgia in Top 5 For Bailey

Sterling Bailey was in attendance this weekend for the annual G-Day game and came away very impressed with the Bulldogs. Bailey is playing DE for East Hall HS but coach Todd Grantham feels he would play as an outside backer in the Bulldogs new 3-4 scheme. With Gainesville, GA being only short drive Athens Bailey has had a chance to make numerous trips down to Athens already.

Bailey had a chance to hangout with current commits Amarlo Herrera, Corey Moore and David Andrews. All  three have been heavily recruiting for the Bulldogs every chance they get and this weekend was no exception, with Bailey getting an ear full from all three about how much they want him to join them in Athens.

Bailey stated that currently Georgia is in his top five, but will be taking in the A-Day game at Alabama and the Georgia Tech spring game as well. Bailey is currently under consideration for the Under Armour and Army All-American Game.

Bulldogs Offer California QB

Mark Richt decided today to inform Max Wittek, 4 star QB, out of Mater Dai HS in Santa Anna, CA that the Bulldogs want him to join their program. Wittek currently holds offers from at least 15 schools, with the majority of these coming from PAC-10 schools. Georgia joined Florida and South Carolina as the only SEC schools to offer this Top 20 QB.

Wittek is a pro-style QB that looks to pass first rather than make a plan with his legs. He would prefer to stay with a pro-style offense in college, like his very close friend Trojan QB Matt Barkley. Wittek is looking to commit before the start of his senior year, but as of now does not have any favorites. Wittek was in Athens this week.

Bulldogs Gain Steam With Tuitt

The Georgia Bulldogs hosted one the top defensive end's in the state today, in Stephon Tuitt. Tuitt spent all day with his mother in Athens taking in everything that Georgia has to offer. Tuitt has been considered a Georgia Tech lean since the start of reruiting but Georgia evened the playing fields after today.

Tuitt and his mother took in the academic side of Georgia before heading down to watch the team practice. They were both able to sit down and speak with an academic advisor who explained to Tuitt that he would be able to graduate in three and half years if he desired. Tuitt is not just looking to only play football but really take in everything the university has to offer from an academic standpoint.

With Georgia and Georgia Tech both running a 3-4 defense, it will not be where he feels he fits best but more where can he receive a quality education. Tuitt feels with his size and quickness he will be able to play either DE or OLB at the next level. 

Coach Mark Richt and coach Todd Grantham explained to Tuitt that Georgia is only offering recruits that they feel will be able to make an immediate impact on the field and compete for a starting position. Tuitt strongly believes that he is more than capable of doing this.

Rumors had been spreading that Tuitt would be commiting sooner than later but with this most recent visit to Athens, Tuitt has decided to hold off on committing and is looking forward to taking his official visits in the fall.

Jay Rome Loved Athens

Jay Rome decided to visit Athens before the G-Day game this weekend this was probably a very good idea as he got the coaching staff's full attention on Tuesday. Rome really enjoyed his visit and had this to say about the Bulldogs "Georgia has really impressed me when I have been up there." Rome was initially favoring Clemson, which many believed was due to his father being a player there. However, recently Rome has stated on numerous occasions that he does not a leader. 


Rome had chance to see the academic buildings, athletic facilities and attended practice. It was at practice where he saw Orson Charles and came away extremely impressed with the first year Bulldog. With the Bulldogs always relying on their tight ends and sending quite a few to the next level, one can one wonder why Rome wouldn't make the Bulldogs one of his favorites. 


The coach that has been recruiting Rome the hardest is coach Richt and they were able to get plenty of one on one time on Tuesday. Rome is really able to talk to coach Richt and this trip further sealed a bond between the two.

Bulldogs Out Of Running For Daniel?

With the recent circumstances surrounding Montez Robinson one would have to wonder if the Bulldogs are totally out of the running for Armonze Daniel. Daniel recently spent most of his spring break in Athens visiting his brother Robinson and spending time with the coaches and players. He recently stated that his brother would play a big part in his recruitment. Daniel does not yet have an offer from the Bulldogs.

With the dismissal of Robinson from the Bulldogs, fans now can start to wonder. Will the Bulldogs even offer Daniel? If he does get an offer will he even consider it? Does he view the Bulldogs as turning their back on Robinson? Does he understand that coach Richt had no other choice at this point?

Mark Richt recently visited Robinson in jail and stated that the player was struggling with the situation. Robinson's most recent arrest was his third in six months and the final straw in regards to his tenure as a Bulldog. Robinson gave Richt no choice with him most recent arrest, termination from the team was the only option at this point. One can only hope that Daniel view's Georgia as trying to help Robinson and not throwing him to the curb.

Longhorns Land 20th Commitment of 2011

The Texas Longhorns landed their 20th commitment yesterday. YES, that is not a mistype I did say their 20th. What I am really intrigued about in regards to this commitment is not that the Longhorns landed their third 5 star recruit, but this was their first recruit from outside the state of Texas. Mack Brown has his home territory on total lockdown, the only other school that can really pull big time recruits away from Brown is Oklahoma. Of the top 5 recruits in Texas, three have already commited to Texas while the other two have not committed yet.

From looking at the Texas offer sheet their are only 9 more players that currently have offers who have not committed to a school. Three of these are from out-of-state, if you are coach this makes recruiting a lot easier as you can put all your resources towards these 9 players.

Recruits On Campus Today

It is being reported by UGASports.com that three recruits were on campus today. Christian LeMay, Chris Conley and Jay Rome were all in attendance. LeMay is the #2 QB nationally and Rome is the #1 TE nationally according to Scout.com. These two recruits along Conley who is a GA Top 50 recruit would really excel the Bulldogs towards the top of the recruiting ranks.

Only change this week is LSU picked up Quentin Thomas, 1 star DT out of Breaux Bridge HS, LA

Bulldogs Offer Another Jersey Boy

The Bulldogs could be starting a pipeline into New Jersey shortly. They already have two former Bulldogs from The Garden State, Knowshon Moreno and Kade Weston, and now have offered their second New Jersey Boy this year. Savon Huggins will join Marquise Wright as the only two players from Jersey to recieve official offers from the Bulldogs.

Huggins is a 6'0" 190 lb RB out of St. Peter's Prep in Jersey City, NJ that runs 4.5 40 and is ranked as the #7 RB nationally according to Scout.com. Huggins currently has offers from 24 different schools. Georgia was the sixth SEC school to offer, joining Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee. Huggins is a lock for the Rivals100 which should be out pretty soon as the Rivals250 is out already.

Huggins was on campus all day Thursday and got to see everything but the weight room, however he did get a chance to see the blueprints for the new facility that will be open for his freshman year. The highlight of Huggins trip to Athens was when he received his official offer from Coach Richt in person. Huggins came away extremely impressed with Athens and with Coach Richt, as he stated that Coach Richt did not make him any "false promises" but told him he would have to work everything.

Huggins has stated that he does not plan to make decision until signing day. Huggins is  planning on narrowing down to a top 5 or top 8 by the end of summer. I feel pretty confident that the Bulldogs will make the cut.

GA WR Names Leader

Justin Scott currently has offers from East Carolina, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Maryland, Stanford, South Carolina and Wake Forest. Rivals.com recently caught up with Justin Scott and talked to him about his recruiting.  Currently, Scott has named Georgia his leader.

Scott at one point had been committed to Stanford but went back on his commitment on Feb 21st.  The Bulldogs were the first team to offer Scott back in August. I would not be surprised to see Scott in Athens this weekend for G-Day.

Montez Robinson Charged With Simple Battery

Mark Richt and the Bulldog coaching staff got some bad news today as Montez Robinson turned himself in to the Athens-Clarke County Police on simple battery charges. This is the third time that Robinson has had a run in with the law in the past 5 months.

Robinson's future with the Bulldogs is uncertain at this time. Mark Richt has not released a statement yet.

Where Do UGA Players Come From?

I have been curious if their is a certain area where our best recruits come from. So I started doing some research on the subject and pulled up all of our commitment classes from 2002-2010. Between 2002 and 2010 Georgia signed 200 recruits. I have seperated all this classes into 5 catergories:

The 1st category is out-of-state players.
The 2nd category is Atlanta players, this includes all players within the perimeter of I-285.
The 3rd category is west Georgia, this includes all players west of I-75.
The 4th category is NE Georgia, this includes all players north of I-20 and east of I-75.
The 5th category is SE Georgia, this includes all players south of I-20 and east of I-75.

OS players make up 34.5 %
ATL players make up 6.0 %
W GA players make up 19.0 %
NE GA players make up 22.0 %
SE GA players make up 18.5 %


Here is the breakdown of the 131 Georgia players in the four regions

ATL players make up 09.1 %
W GA players make up 29.0 %
NE GA players make up 33.5 %
SE GA players make up 28.2 %


Here is a more in depth look at each region in terms of star rating given by Scout.com, but first I will give you the break down of 200 players.

All Players

5 Star =     9 or 04.5 %
4 Star = 105 or 52.5 %
3 Star =   79 or 39.5 %
2 Star =     7 or 03.5 %
1 Star =     3 or 01.5 %


OS = 69 players

5 Star =   3 or 04.3 %
4 Star = 38 or 55.0 %
3 Star = 28 or 40.6 %
2 Star =   1 or 01.4 %
1 Star =   1 or 01.4 %


ATL = 12 players

5 Star = 2 or 16.6 %
4 Star = 6 or 50.0 %
3 Star = 4 or 33.3 %
2 Star = 0 or 00.0 %
1 Star = 0 or 00.0 %


W GA = 38 players

5 Star =   3 or 13.1 %
4 Star = 16 or 42.1 %
3 Star = 17 or 44.7 %
2 Star =   2 or 05.2 %
1 Star =   0 or 00.0 %


NE GA = 44 Players

5 Star =   1 or 02.2 %
4 Star = 20 or 45.4 %
3 Star = 20 or 45.4 %
2 Star =   3 or 06.8 %
1 Star =   1 or 00.5 %


SE GA = 37 Players

5 Star =   0 or 00.0 %
4 Star = 25 or 67.5 %
3 Star = 10 or 27.0 %
2 Star =   1 or 02.7 %
1 Star =   1 or 02.7 %

To look at this overall, we can determine that 1/3 of our team comes from out of state players, we recruit pretty well throughout the entire state of GA with a slight majority coming from the NE of Georgia. Of all 200 players 57% of them are either 4 or 5 star recruits and 96.5% are 3,4 or 5 star recruits. We might have only gotten 12 players from ATL but 76.6% are 4 or 5 star recruits. SE Georgia is where we bring in the highest percent of 4 Star recruits at an outstanding 67.5 % and W Georgia is where we bring in the big time talent with 16.7 % of those recruits being 5 star guys.

Top GA RB to attend G-Day?

With the annual spring G-Day game just around the corner, the Bulldogs will be recruiting heavily to get as many recruits as possible in attendance. Quan Bray of Callaway HS in Hogansville, GA is going to try and be in attendance for the game. This would be a good step towards trying to sign this elite RB as he is being recruited heavily by Georgia, Clemson, Alabama and Tennessee.

With Bray being from the state of Georgia this could be a huge factor for the Bulldogs and work towards their advantage. Bray is seriously considering staying in-state, so his family will be able to easily attend his games. Bray is also a fan of how the Bulldogs are known for producing NFL caliber backs year end and year out.

Personally I think that it will come down to Georgia and Clemson for Bray. Clemson the past few years have shown how they will work their offense around a small slash style back, in C.J. Spiller. Bray has stated that he models himself after Spiller, so it only fits for him to seriously consider attending Clemson. Alabama does not run an offense that really compliments a speed back and Tennessee with their new coach is trying to find an identity. I believe that both Bama and the Vols will stay in the race but they will never be seriously considered.
