Gabe Wright Video

Here is an interview with Gabe Wright that was posted on youtube. After watching this video you see that the Bulldogs are in his top two. Wright states that he has wanted to be a Bulldog since he was a sophomore. He states the transfer of Jarvis Jones really helped Georgia in terms of Carver High School. Wright does not see any negatives in Georgia, the only thing he states about Georgia that is negative at all is if Mark Richt and the coaching staff will be back next season. Georgia fans can thank Nick Saban and Kirby Smart for this as I am sure that they are filling all our recruits with these negative thoughts.

Wright states that he believes the "dream team" concept that Coach Richt has been pitching to the recruits and if Georgia can keep the top talent in Georgia from leaving they could be "unstoppable". Gabe Wrigt and Isaiah Crowell will be Bulldogs as long as Georgia can back it up in the field this year.

Georgia Lands Nick Marshall

Georgia received a verbal commitment from Nick Marshall late Tuesday night. Marshall is a two sport star that has been recruited by both Coach Fox and Coach Richt. Many people believed that Marhsall was a silent commit to Georgia Tech, if this was true Marshall has changed his mind as he went public with his commitment to Georgia.

Marshall is a quarterback in high school but will be lining up in secondary at corner back for the Bulldogs. With Marshall coming in at 6'2" he is the ideal corner that secondary coach Scott Lakatos has been saying he wants.

Zach Witchett Gives The Dawgs Ten

Zach Witchett announced today that he would be verbally committing to Georgia to play football. Witchett is the third receiver to commit to Georgia. The Bulldogs will be light in terms of receivers this year and most likely will be losing All-American AJ Green to the draft after next season. Witchett told Mark Richt and the Georgia coaching staff after the state track meet that he would be committing but wanted to wait and make a formal announcement today.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Florida WR Gets Offer From Bulldogs

Mark Richt and the Georgia coaching staff officially offered Florida WR Phil Dorsett yesterday afternoon. Dorsett currently has offers from Florida, Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Rutgers, Tennessee, Wake Forest and Wisconsin. Dorsett will be naming a top five when the rest of his offers come in. Currently he is putting Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina as the front runners. He is also expecting an offer from Alabama in the near future.

Dorsett has not had chance to visit any of the schools yet, but will be on Florida's campus this Thursday. He is planning on taking official visits to his top five schools in the fall once he names them. Dorsett also plans on visiting Georgia during the summer.

Two of the main reasons why Dorsett likes Georgia are that the Bulldogs run a pro-style offense and he feels this will best prepare him for the NFL. Also, Dorsett feels that the depth chart at Georgia will help him to get some early playing time.

Marshall Names Top 3

Two sport star Nick Marshall has been receiving offers from schools for basketball and football for the past year with some schools offering him for both. Marshall has been drawing comparison's to Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward of Florida State, which is probably no surprise to learn that Florida State is one of the school offering him. Kipp Adams from UGASports.com recently caught up with Marshall and asked him about his recruiting and who might be the top schools right now "Georgia, Florida State and Georgia Tech are my main schools right now. They are all the same right now, I don't have a leader from those three schools," he said. "I am planning on making some visits to get a good feel for the schools, and if I feel comfortable, I plan to make my decision in June." To read the full interview please click on the link.

Marshall will be in Athens for the annual G-Day game in a few weeks. Mark Richt and the staff recently attended one of Marshall's basketball games, which really impressed Marshall. Marshall is best friends with current Georgia commit Lonnie Outlaw. Outlaw will be attending Georgia Military College this fall before enrolling in Georgia hopefully next year. This could be great news for the Bulldogs as Outlaw and Marshall would have a chance to enroll at UGA together.

Richt Discusses Mettenberger

Coach Richt addressed the media on Tuesday after the team finished it's second spring practice and spoke about Zach Mettenberger "I'm disappointed, first off. I did spend some time with them and there's some more information, I want to gather some more information before I make a final decision. But I certainly think it will be by the end of the week before I have a final decision on what we're going to do."

Richt informed the media that their is a good chance that Mettenberger will be suspended for the opening game this year "If there's an alcohol-related arrest that sticks, basically, it's an automatic one-tenth suspension and even in a 12-game season it's considered one game," but Richt stated that he will not be limited to the one game suspension

"I can do whatever I want but I still want to get all the information in before I make some kind of public decision. There have been times where something was alleged that really didn't happen," he said. "I'm not saying that's the case right now, but I'm just going through the normal protocol getting any other information I can, then talking with our administration because anytime this kind of thing happens we want to be in agreement of what we want to do."

Their is talk already that this incident has knocked Mettenberger out of the competiton for the starting job. Richt stated though that this will not be the case

"It won't affect Zach's reps in the spring at all, If he's suspended for the first game, when we get ready to practice and move into the phase of getting ready for the first game, whatever day we start practice for the first game, anybody who is suspended does not get any reps of consequence."

This will only make for a more interesting spring this year.

Dickson Names Top 5

Xzavier Dickson was in attendance this weekend at the NIKE Combine in Hallford Stadium in Clarkston, GA. Dickson had been hard to get a hold of since track season started as his father stopped all interviews to let his son concentrate on his track season. UGASports.com was able to get an exclusive interview with Dickson. Here is what Dickson had to say about his top 5:

Alabama: "I like the intensity and the coaching staff."


Georgia: "Same as Alabama, and they have a new defensive coordinator and I like how he presents himself and how he says I will fit in their system. I would play outside linebacker"

Georgia Tech: "They are pretty good too and they run a 3-4 too so I would play outside linebacker. I believe I could do pretty well in that."

Auburn: "They have a good defensive line coach and they like me at defensive end."

Florida: "They just have athletes and they are just good every year."

Dickson is currently being recruited by coach Todd Grantham and was in attendance for Georgia's most recent Junior Day, where he had a chance to talk with coach Mark Richt and watched the Bulldogs upset the Florida Gators on the hardcourt.

Mettenberger Arrested

The Georgia Bulldogs football had not been on spring break for more than a little over 48 hours when Mark Richt received a phone call about one of his players. Sophomore quarterback Zach Mettenberger was arrested early Sunday morning on five misdemeanor counts including underage possession and possession of false identificaton. Mettenberger has since been released and is set to return to court on April 27th. The arrrest could cause the Athletic Association to automatically suspend Mettenberger for one game keeping him out of the season opener against La.-Lafayette

Justin Scott Wide Open

Justin Scott reopened his recruiting status on Feburary 21st. Scott had originally planned to attend Stanford when he gave his verbal commitment on December 18th of last year. Since that time he has received more offers and is currently trying to weigh all of his options. As it stands right now he has offers from Georgia, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Stanford and Wake Forest. Scott has few more offers but these are schools that he has narrowed it down to.

Scott is known for his speed as he runs s a 4.4 40. Scott attended the Bulldogs night camp last year and had a great time. He is out of Mitchell County HS in Camille, GA. During the last contact period Mark Richt and Mike Bobo spoke with Scott and made sure that he knew the Bulldogs still wanted him. Scott plans to attend the next Junior Day on March 20th.

Bulldogs on Top For 2012 CB

Mark Richt and the Bulldog coaching staff got some good news on Saturday from Carver HS RB/CB Deion Bonner when he named the Bulldogs as his #1 team right now. When Bonner spoke with Chad Simmons of Scout.com he had this to say:

"I can see myself spending four years at Georgia and that is why they are number one right now. I always have fun when I go up there, I really like the players there, and the coaches are a lot like me. They have to be on top for me right now."

Bonner has a laid back personality and looks for the same thing in the coaches that he wants to play for. Bonner had this to say about Coach Richt:


"Coach Richt is a great person and a great coach He always reminds me when I see him that he wants me to go to Georgia, how many corners they have leaving in the next two years, and how they need me there. He is a laid back coach too and I like that because I am pretty laid back too. I have always liked Coach Richt since I met him last year."

Currently he holds offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Southern Miss and Tennessee. 

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
