This week is the Elite 11 quarterback camp in California. UGA is well represented. Stafford is a counselor and both Georgia quarterback commitments were invited to participate. Only 11 prep QBs are invited, so it's a luxury to have both of our guys there. (Image: ESPN.com)Speaking of quarterback recruits, ESPN.com's Tom Luginbill has this comparison of Aaron Murray, current UGA commit, and Matt Barkley, a USC commit and the No. 1 ranked recruit in the country according to Rivals.com. The comparison is a dead heat according to Luginbill and the ESPN's scouts, who must know what they are talking about because they refer to obscure points like wrist velocity and RPMs. (Zach Mettenberger also gets a mention in the article because of his huge arm strength.) Pretty nice to think that we could have the best QB recruit in the country heading to Athens, and from Florida no less.
Note that this story was done after the national 7-on-7 football tournament. Murray's Plant HS team won the national championship and beat Barkley's team in the semifinals. If these comparisons hold up over the Elite 11 camp, could Murray move ahead of Barkley in the eyes of the scouts? Barkley won't participate in the Elite 11. He and LSU commit Russell Shepard declined the invitation.
