Obviously, you guys don't read this site for up to the minute recruiting news. (Or, it would be really lonely talking to myself given that this is a day late....or as I like to call it "AJC Standard Time").
Yesterday, Antwane Greenlee of Columbus, Georgia changed his mind and ditched FSU in favor of a commitment to UGA. Commitment stories from DawgPost.com, UGASports.com and AJC.com.
Greenlee is exactly the type of a 4 star, blue-chip, big bodied, in-state offensive tackle prospect that UGA has struggled to sign and/or get in school lately. Combining him with Tanner Strickland, Sturdivant and Boling gives UGA four OL signees in its first 12 commits. Combine those guys with re-signing Justin Anderson and hopefully Geathers (see AJC.com story) next year, and this looks like a great OL class. It still won't make the scary thin 2007 OL less painful to watch, but it will put the Dawgs back on track for 2008 and beyond.
There are some big time kids going to GT and other places this year, but as long as we keep signing the kids that we need at positions of need. This still shapes up to be a monster class for us.
QB, OL and DE are looking great. RB, DT and WR have a bunch of work left to do. In my non-guru opinion, Caleb King, Eric Berry and Cameron Heyward are the three biggest three kids on the board. All are in state, and we have a heap of work to do to sign any of them. That's not being nelly negative. I'm just making a comment.

So far so good with GT's recruiting. They are getting kids we would definitely like to have like Donley and soon Nesbitt.
But they aren't playing them at positions we want to play them at. Nesbitt will get a chance to play QB for GT, but Safety for us. Donley will get a shot at WR for them but LB was his slot from us.
In some ways, they're getting kids to do what we won't let them or want them to do. (so far the exception is Willie White, who I think we wanted at WR and GT did too)
That's not a shot. Just sort of a thing.
I'm with you though. I don't mind GT getting some guys as long as we get guys of comparable or better talent, too. I'd rather them go to GT than UF or UT.
The problem comes when its a kid like Calvin Johnson or Brandon Miller and there is no plan B for a kid of that ability and you're going head to head.

yeah, i know it wasn't newsy news to a recruitnik.
But not everyone that reads this site or the AJC subscribes to Rivals or Scout.
I think the AJC may have reached the top of the recruiting coverage mountain.
