Recruiting Notes

It's an off week for the Dogs so there's not too much going on. While there isn't too much to discuss with the current team, Georgia has recieved some bad news with a few of their recruits. It's hard to juggle the season and recruiting but it's got to be done, Georgia is going to be under a lot of fire for their performance this year. The players will be listening out for coaching changes and roster changes. CMR needs to be on fire trying to keep these recruits together and still on board with Georgia.

In case you don't know, Georgia snatched one of the best recruits out of the state of Florida. Brent Benedict OL out of Jacksonville, FL. Some think he will be the prize of the class. However, last friday Benedict blew his knee out during a game. This is not good news for the Dogs, hopefully he will fully recover and be the player everyone expected him to be. Good luck Brent!

Potentially bad news out of Florida - Nickell Robey CB out of Frostproof high school has opened the doors back up in his recruiting. His decision to do this is based on the fact that their could be some coaching changes at Georgia and because of the Dogs performace this year. Hopefully Georgia can hang on with Robey, something tells me he is gone though. Frostproof has some of the best talent in the nation year in and year out. This could be huge for Georgia, if we can just get one kid to sign with Georgia this could be a huge step for recruiting in the future. Robey said that he is going to speak with Martinez and McClendon this week about what is going on at Georgia (Martinez is going down to Frostproof this week to see Robey, that tells me that Martinez will be the DC for sure next year). He also said that he is now looking at Tennessee and that Florida is still checking up on him regularly. By the way, I know high school football can be boring but if you ever get a chance to watch a Frostproof high school football game(their games get televised sometimes) - watch it! It is incredible how good that football team is, I don't even know if they have a punter, they score at will almost every time.

I really hope the lunatic fringe is finished with spooking recruits. We need this kid. Besides, if you play for us you play immediately! www.wedgeorgia.com

I wasn't sure if you meant getting a player from there for 2010 would help the Dawgs or getting a player from there ever, but I believe that Carlton Thomas is from Frostproof.
