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.

Georgia Recruiting

Currently the Bulldogs are ranked #7 in both polls for 2010 recruiting. This is not a bad spot right now, with many recruits still undecided at this point. Georgia will be losing 20 seniors this year, with these being the top people leaving

QB Joe Cox, S Bryan Evans, WR Micheal Moore, CB Prince Miller, LB Marcus Washington, DT Geno Atkins, DT Kade Weston, and DT Jeff Owens

The QB situation is already taken care of with Georgia having three underclassmen waiting for there shots

Losing Micheal Moore will not be that big a problem, since we have Tavarres King and Marlon Brown still coming around.

As for the DL, this will be a bigger issue. Losing Roderick Battle might not have been a terribly bad thing, now we can get some experience for other guys that might not have got a shot until next year. We are losing our top 3 DT which will be a huge blow. We have people to fill the gaps but will be running low on bigger guys. If we get hit by an injury we might have to move an end to the tackle spot.

The linebacker unit should stay in tact unless someone leaves early, Rennie Curran will be the only person the might forgo his senior year for the draft.

The secondary will be another issue with us losing our best CB and S. We might lose both S if Reshad Jones decides to leave early. 

Verbal Commitments: The Bulldogs are off to good start right now. They have two verbal commitments from 5 Star recruits, Garrison Smith is the #1 rated DT and Alec Ogletree is the #2 rated S. The Bulldogs have 11 verbal commitments from 4 star recruits with 7 of these coming on the defensive side of the ball. 

Georgia is still in the running right now for the #1 RB Marcus Lattimore, #10 RB Eduardo Clements, #4 WR Christian Green, #5 WR Chris Dunkley, #10 T Chaz Green, #1 C Bradon Linder, #11 DT Micheal Thornton, #1 DE Jackson Jeffcoat, #2 DE Ronald Powell, #4 DE Corey Lemonier, #10 DE Wayne Dorsey, #2 OLB Jordan Hicks, #1 MLB Jeff Luc, #2 CB Lamarcus Joyner and #5 CB Johnavon Fulton. 

If the Bulldogs can sign even 3 of three guys that will help us out in recruiting. Total we have 18 verbal commitments right now.
