Brandon Shell Down to Five

Brandon Shell has established himself as one of the top 10 tackles in the 2011 class. Recently he announced his top 5 which consisted of Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Miami (FL) and South Carolina. Rumors swirling around the Shell camp are that it is between Clemson and Georgia with the Bulldogs having a slight lead right now, however South Carolina has made a push lately. Shell is planning visits to Alabama and Georgia sometime, but nothing has been set in stone yet.

Prediction: Georgia

Preseason All-SEC Team

Here are my first team All-SEC Selections. Curious to see how I compare to the real the one. The offensive line is not divided into positions, it will consist of four linemen and one center. The defense will be in the 4-3 format with the linebackers consisting of just linebackers as whole.

Offense

QB  - Ryan Mallett - Arkansas
HB  - Mark Ingram - Alabama
HB  - Derrick Locke - Kentucky
WR - A.J. Green - Georgia
WR - Greg Childs - Arkansas
TE  - Orson Charles - Georgia
OL - Lee Ziemba - Auburn
OL - Derrek Sherrod - Mississippi State
OL - James Carpenter - Alabama
OL - Clint Boling - Georgia
C   - Mike Pouncey - Florida

Defense

DE - Pernell McPhee - Mississippi State
DE - DeQuin Evans - Kentucky
DT - Jerrell Powe - Mississippi
DT - Drake Nevis - LSU
LB - Justin Houston - Georgia
LB - Dont'a Hightower - Alabama
LB - Chris Marve - Vanderbilt
CB - Patrick Petersen - LSU
CB - Neiko Thorpe - Auburn
S   - Mark Barron - Alabama
S   - Bacarri Rambo - Georgia

Special Teams

P   - Drew Butler - Georgia
K   - Blair Walsh - Georgia
KR - Derrick Locke - Kentucky
PR - Stephon Gilmore - South Carolina

I tried to be as unbiased as possible. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Big 10 Offers Invites to Four Schools

Joe Schad of ESPN is reporting that the Big 10 has officially offered Missouri, Nebraska, Rutgers and Notre Dame to join. Should be very interesting to see how this all plays out. You would think they would not offer unless they knew the answer already. Nebraska just really surprises me.

Bulldogs Eye 2012 Lineman

Mallard Creek HS in Charlotte, NC recently hosted the Nike Combine. This combine hosted some of the best high school players in North Carolina. One such player that was in attendance was D.J. Humphries. Humphries is a 6'5" 265 lb tackle that is quickly making a name for himself. Humphries performed so well at the combine that he made the All-Combine team. Currently, Humphries has offers from Clemson, Maryland, North Carolina State, Notre Dame, South Carolina and Virginia Tech.

Mark Richt and Bulldogs are starting to show interest in the young man, as well as some other SEC schools. Don't be surprised to see his offers double in the upcoming months.

Two Recruits to Commit Next Weekend

Sorry for the lack of posts last week, I was out of town all week and had limited internet access.

Justin Scott and Sterling Bailey are both set to announce their decision the weekend of 5/14-5/16. Scott plans to make the announcement Sunday afternoon, which is the last day of his track meet. Bailey is planning on holding a small press conference around 6:30pm on Saturday.

Personally I am extremely confident that the Bulldogs land both of these outstanding recruits.
