Five-star recruit Richard SamuelWith the commitments of Zebrie Sanders to Florida State and Omar Hunter to the Gators, UGA won't need to scrounge up another scholarship this year. It looks like recruiting is done. The rumors were that the coaching staff would try to find another scholarship for one of those two recruits, but it appears they didn't find one. I wish Zebrie Sanders luck. I wish Omar Hunter serious disaster every year on the football field, but this is not personal. I wish every Gator disaster on the field, floor, air, sea, in space, and underground.
For the second year in a row, we head into signing day without a serious storyline. Last year, we got the last minute surprise switcharoo by Chris Little and Antwan Greenlee, but it looks like the only noise we'll hear on signing day will be the hum of fax machines. Richt & Co. continue to wrap their classes up early and use January as an evaluation period for juniors. So far, we can't complain about the results. The Dawgs will reel in another top 10 class.
The only remaining questions are the continued flirtations of Dwayne Allen, the blue-chip tight end from North Carolina. Allen committed to UGA early, but has continued to visit other schools. There is a large school of thought that believes Allen's pledge was firm before Coach Johnson's departure and nothing has changed with the hiring of Coach Lilly. Allen was reportedly pleased with the hire. I think Allen has known he is going to UGA for a while, but is enjoying as much attention and coed company as possible before Signing Day.
It would have been nice to have Sanders or Hunter, but it should give you confidence that we are now turning away great prospects because we are full.
