Recruiting 2011

So we got Crowell and lost Pagan? I am 100% OK with that trade.

And if Richt does not give that young man the ball early and often and have Ealey spell him when he gets tired of imitating Herschel then I will drive up there myself and have a word with coach.

AMEN KD...
I'll be right behind you.

I wanted them both.

Sorry wlayton, I was comparing Rome to Pagan and was thinking Rome was going to play some DE here. Guess I had what some old timers call a brain fart. But I think Drew will fit the bill.

I'm with ya on ALL accounts brother!

DREAM TEAM......DREAM TEAM.......DREAM TEAM !!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on JJ.

Isaiah Crowell is a Bulldog
Georgia got its top recruit, and perhaps its new starting tailback.

Isaiah Crowell of Columbus Carver High School announced on Wednesday he would sign with Georgia, ending one of the most-watched recruiting battles in the country.

Crowell announced the decision live on ESPNU by putting on a black Georgia hat – and then revealing that he had a white English bulldog puppy.

To paraphrase something I just tweeted, it's possible Crowell didn't pick Alabama because he couldn't get a live elephant in the building. Or it's possible Crowell was swayed by the attention he got from Georgia coaches and fans, who serenaded him at a Bulldog basketball team a couple weeks ago.

"Everybody was talking about the dream team, but we had to make it a reality," Crowell said at the announcement.

Crowell also called Mark Richt “a God-fearing dude.”

The tailback is a consensus five-star prospect, and rated as high as fourth overall, by ESPNU.

Georgia's coaches had been targeting Crowell for some time, and especially after last August, when James Wilder opted for Florida State. The focus on Crowell only ramped up when the Bulldogs’ running game sputtered, and tailbacks Caleb King and Washaun Ealey had disappointing season.
