Hello my fellow Dawg Lovers!
Been a while since I've posted but I've been reading all of your thoughts religiously while working out here in Provo, UT. Anyways, I've seen the #2 Safety recruit we landed, Alec Ogletree play in person since he is from my hometown of Newnan, GA. This kid is definitely a man amongst boys. He dwarfs most HS linebackers and he can really get to the ball. Surely he'll be the big hitter we've been missing since Greg Blue left the Classic City. For obvious reasons, I'm super happy that he choose the Dawgs after having Miami at the top of his list since he hit the recruiting radar early last year!
In general, I'm just really pumped about ALL of the quality kids that have verbally committed over the past few weeks. That said, I want more. Specifically, Mack Brown, the RB from ML King HS is the one I most covet (oh, and Jeff Luc, the #1 MLB from Port St. Lucie but he'll be a total steal if we get him out of Florida, IMHO). The Gators are hard after him (Mack Brown) and feel like he'd be a perfect fit for their spread offense with his speed and elusiveness. Still, surely MB realizes that the UGA RB tradition is much richer than that of UF (anybody know how many UGA running backs have played in the NFL?) He's supposed to commit sometime in July so hopefully we'll soon be looking forward to having the power & speed combo of Malcome & Brown running wild on the rest of the SEC for years to come.
Wlayton, I too like having a big bruiser in the backfield. Really takes a toll on tired defenders and can certainly help a team grind out long, time consuming drives late in close ball games to ensure victory!
