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." To read the interview in full click on the link.

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."

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.

Georgia in Dantzler Top 5

Watts Dantzler was in Athens for Junior Day this weekend and seemed to really enjoy himself. He showed up a little late but was able to make the basketball game and had chance to talk with coach Mike Bobo, coach Stacey Searels and coach Mark Richt. The coaches discussed with Dantzler the schemes that they would be running and where they felt he would be fit in position wise.

Dantzler stated that "Georgia is going to be one of my top schools, they're definitely in the top 5." He is planning on announcing his commitment on November 16th, which is Dantzler's birthday.

David Andrews hung out with Dantzler for most of the trip and the two of them have established a good relationship already. Dantzler was happy for Andrews when the offers started rolling in.

This spring Dantzler is planning on taking two more visits, one to Alabama this upcoming weekend and one to North Carolina on April 10th. He is also planning on seeing Miami (FL) sometime this summer.

Hopefully Andrews can pull Dantzler for the Dawgs

Bulldogs Offer Wesleyan Center

The Georgia Bulldogs offered David Andrews, 3 Star center, out of The Wesleyan School in Norcross, GA on Thursday. Andrews could be a relatively easy commit for the Bulldogs but you can never take any recruit for granted.

Andrews is friends with current Georgia Bulldog Ben Jones and had this to say about him:

"I've asked him for advice before. He's always been there at all the summer camps, and I remember my sophomore year he'd be there helping me, correcting me on some little stuff here and there. He's crazy, but he's a good guy. I'd like to think I can play like that."

Bulldogs offensive line coach, Stacey Searels, was the one who informed Andrews that the Bulldogs were wanting him to play for them.

"It was a special moment, Coach Searels has been recruiting me from Day One. We've got a special relationship. He's been over a couple of times and when I called last night he said 'David, how would you like to play in the SEC for Georgia?' I was just stunned. I was not expecting that at all. I was very surreal."

Andrew says that he will make a decision before the start of his senior year. The Bulldogs have an upper hand over all the other teams in the NCAA when it comes to Andrews. He has admitted that his grandfather was an avid Dawg supporter.
