Dexter Moody Praised

Football news is hard to come by these days. Really gets flat when the season is over, so I start snooping around and reading everything I can about UGA and the incoming class of Freshmen. Probably a lot of you have read the following article, if not, hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Dexter Moody is getting high praise from some very knowledgable folks.

UGA-bound Washaun Ealey not the best prospect on ECI, says one coach
4:53 p.m. Friday, December 5, 2008

Savannah Christian coach Donald Chumley played on Georgia's 1982 SEC championship team, so he's eager to see Washaun Ealey and Dexter Moody of Emanuel County Institute suit up for the Bulldogs next season. The teammates committed to Georgia in January. But unlike most observers, Chumley believes Moody, a linebacker, has more potential on the college level than Ealey, the running back who has rushed for nearly 8,000 yards and set Georgia's record for career and single-season touchdowns. \"Just because he's such an athlete,'' Chumley said of Moody. \"I could see him playing a lot of different positions, especially when they put more muscle on him. He could play linebacker, tight end, defensive end. He's the best pure athlete we've seen this year. He makes an impact on both sides of the ball more than anybody I've seen.'' Savannah Christian finished second in Region 3-A to ECI and lost to ECI 21-14 in September. Chumley's praise of Moody doesn't mean he believes Ealey is overrated. \"He's everything advertised,'' Chumley said. \"I don't know if he's another (Knowshon) Moreno, but I think he's going to be in the mix at running back. He's strong, very hard to bring down. He has all the things you can't teach - the moves, the vision. He's a complete player.'' ECI plays Wilkinson County tonight in the Class A semifinals. ECI has another Division 1-A recruit on the team in lineman J.C. Lanier, who has pledge to Georgia Tech. But Chumley says keep an eye on the linebacker. \"Moody might not get as much press, but I'm here to tell you he's the real deal,'' Chumley said.

I say get him on the weight room ASAP, we need a DE!!

Thanks Buc nice read. Can't wait for August!

Thanks Buc....geez they BOTH really excite me!!

VERY ENCOURAGING! Seems to me he's been flying under the radar. Think we need to keep it that way until we need to use him. Then folks will be saying, \"Man, who is this guy and where did he come from?\"

I was actually brooding a bit over Jones going to USC, but what the heck, don't like to see any of the Georgia talent going to the left coast. Somewhere or other I had read something similar to this post (Dexter Moody) and did not post. However, when a fellow that played for UGA and is coaching in the state and against this young man, makes the blood in these old veins start to move at a faster pace reading his comments. There is a lot of talent on the campus right now, and with the incoming class, I am ecstatic.

wlayton, have to admit that I was wrong on the Marlon Brown signing, think that I had mentioned that I had a feeling he might choose Ohio State. Also said that I thought that Orson Charles would sign with Florida. Sure hope that I am wrong again. With all of the talented receivers, going to need to play with 3 or 4 footballs, sure hope that \"team\" play is the game of choice with all of this talent.
