Any fan of the Bulldogs will love to hear this, former Calhoun standout and current Tennessee Volunteer, Da'Rick Rogers was arrested last night for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Rogers was at local bar in Knoxville with some other Tennessee football players when the fight broke out and an off duty police officer was assaulted.
The only downside I see to this is that Rogers could very well be suspended for the Georgia game. I know personally I was looking forward to watching Rambo, Williams, or the Hitman welcome Rogers to the college ball.
The fight could be the least of Tennessee's problems.

The Other Competition to Watch this Spring
With spring practice just over a week away all that every one is talking about is the pending quarterback competition that will be go on during this time. Another competition that is just as interesting is that of who will be the two starting safeties for Georgia come September. Georgia lost both Reshad Jones to the NFL draft and Bryan Evans to graduation. Most of Bulldog nation was not sorry to see Evans go and their were mixed feelings about Jones. Reshad did a great job and coming on strong at the end of the season, especially against Georgia Tech, where he had a huge miss tackle the year before.
With both safety spots open fans can only start to think about who will be roving in the secondary this upcoming year. One Bulldog that has one of spots almost locked up already is Bacarri Rambo. Rambo appeared in 11 games this year recording 25 tackles, 5 pass break ups and 2 INT. Rambo is known as a fierce hitter and should make an excellent FS. The other spot on the other hand is up for grabs for whoever wants it more.
The players that will be competing for other spot will be Jakar Hamilton, Alec Olgetree, Quintin Banks, Makiri Pugh and Shawn Williams. Their has been a lot of buzz already about Hamilton since he first enrolled in January and has already became pretty good friends with Rambo. Hamilton will also have an advantage over Ogletree since Ogletree will not enroll at UGA until the fall. Hamilton had this to say about his team and competing for a starting position:
"I've really bonded with all the players, Boykin, everybody, all through the recruiting process. Rambo keeps telling me he's really happy I'm coming here; he thinks we can be the best safety duo in the SEC next year," Hamilton said. "I'm just ready to get out there. You can put me and at safety, Rambo and Olgetree at safety, me at corner - I'll even play some wide receiver if they'll let me. It's going to be wonderful to see."
However, UGA fans should not count out Ogletree just yet. He should make an immediate impact at UGA come August.

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.

Jakar "Hitman" Hamilton
For anyone that has not been following the Bulldogs lately, Georgia had two recruits who enrolled in the spring to get a head start on school and getting ready for the upcoming season. One of these recruits was Jakar Hamilton.
Hamilton, a 4 Star safety, is junior college transfer from Georgia Military College in Milledgeville, GA. The Bulldogs lost three of their four starters in the secondary. This included starting safeties Reshad Jones and Bryan Evans. Bacarri Rambo was the only safety that really saw any playing time last season. Rambo most likely will fill one of the safeties spots with the other being up for grabs. Highly touted incoming freshman Alec Ogletree will most likely be competing for the other starting spot against Hamilton.
Hamilton is built like a NFL safety coming in at 6' 1" 198lbs and runs a 4.5 40 yards dash. Since arriving on campus Hamilton has been making a name for himself already with his character and his intensity in the weight room. In a recent article Hamilton was quoted saying:
"On defense, you’ve got to be aggressive. I’m one of those players who just doesn’t care. I’ll throw my whole body even if I have to break something to do it. If I have to catch a concussion, I’ll do it. And having (Grantham) coming in, I’m real excited to see what he’s bringing to the table"
Due to quotes like this Hamilton's name is already being associated with former Bulldogs such as Thomas Davis and Greg Blue. This is something that Georgia has been missing in the past couple years. They have not had a safety that strikes fear into opposing receivers when they go across the middle. When speaking with former players from Georgia Military College they all talked about during practice you would hate to see Hamilton lining up across from you during drills because he would always leave a few bruises on you. Hamilton was nicknamed the "Hitman" during high school and never lets you wonder why this name was given. All is takes is one play and you realize that the name was appropriately given.
