Apologies

I would like to apologize for the lack of posts this past month. It has been a rather hectic month these past 30 days. I proposed to the love of my life, she said YES and now we are wedding planning already. Work has been extremely hectic and I am redoing my apartment since now their are two of us living there. Not trying to make excuses but I should be back to at least a post a day if not two form here on out.

Also we only have 95 days until Georgia takes the field.

Current SEC Recruiting Rankings for 2011

Here is the most updated recruiting rankings. Auburn and Kentucky both added some pretty solid recruits in the past couple weeks and have been moving up the list. Florida is really surprising me right now as they have not added any recruits in a while.

 Here is a breakdown of the current SEC recruiting rankings. Here is how I broke down the scores. I am giving 20 points to recruits that are #1 overall in their position, 15 points to 5 star recruits, 12 points to 4 star recruits, 8 points to 3 star recruits, 5 points to 4 star recruits and 3 points to 1 star recruits.

1.  LSU, 118 points, 11 commits, 3.72 avg rating

2.  Alabama, 112 points, 11 commits, 3.45 avg rating

3.  Georgia, 92 points, 9 commits, 3.55 avg rating

9. South Carolina, 16 points, 2 commits, 3.00 avg rating

10.  Tennesee, 6 points, 2 commits, 1.00 avg rating

12. Vanderbilt, 0 points, 0 commits, 0.00 avg rating

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

Bulldogs Offer Florida Lineman

The Bulldogs have officially offered DT Terry Bell out of Tenoroc HS in Lakeland, FL. Bell is 6' 5" 270 lb DT/OT that has been a big name in his area for a while but now is gaining media attention.

Chris Mayes out of Spaulding HS in Griffin, GA recieved some great news Wednesday as he was offered to play football at two SEC schools, Mississippi State and Georgia.
