Recruits in Athens this weekend

It's a huge recruiting weekend for the Dawgs. Show up early at the Dawg Walk (approximately 6:00 pm) and be loud all night.The most interesting kid to me is Vince Vance of Georgia Military College. The AJC talked about Vance's transcripts arriving in Athens about 3 weeks ago for evaluation. The fact that a 6'8" 285 lb juco offensive lineman is making an unofficial visit after his transcript arrived in Athens is a very good sign.

Georgia has 3 senior offensive tackles on scholarship right now. Arguably John Miller, Chris Davis and Josh Davis could play OT at Georgia one day. However, Miller has the shoulder problem that seems to plague UGA offensive line recruits. Josh Davis is reportedly nowhere near ready to contribute next year, and Chris Davis may play guard.

Combine those three kids with the fact that Kiante Tripp is redshirting along the defensive line, Clifton Geathers is playing defensive end at Hargrave and Justin Anderson projects as a guard, and you have deep concerns for next year's offensive line.

A Juco like Vance would be an enormous pickup for the Dawgs.

We need OL, no question, and this guy is big. But it looks like he has no other power conference offers. Still, we've got to do something, so he may be among our best options. Kind of scary, though.

As you've noted, pwd, OL, and especially OT, recruiting is the one thing MR has really messed up in a tenure in which he has gotten many things right.
