Since 1995 - Insightful commentary on the Georgia Bulldogs

Post A bit of good news to close the weekend

Monday January 5, 2009

As expected (and hoped), five-star cornerback Branden Smith committed to Georgia live on ESPN during the Under Armour All Star game on Sunday evening. Smith, of Washington High School in Atlanta, chose Georgia over, well, offers from just about everyone in the nation, but his decision came down to Florida, FSU, Alabama, and Georgia. He is rated the #4 cornerback in the nation and the #31 prospect overall by Rivals.com.

Greg Reid of Valdosta was one of the standouts in the Under Armour game, and he recently rescinded his commitment to Florida. Georgia is among those he will consider, but his academics are a concern.

    Only the 8th Rivals 5 star for UGA since Rivals began ranking players with the 2002 class.

    The others were:

    Matthew Stafford
    A. J. Green
    Kregg Lumpkin
    Paul Oliver
    Brandon Miller
    Reshad Jones
    Richard Samuel

    So if the past is a good indicator, he will be at worst a solid contributor, at best among the best UGA has had at the position. Here’s hoping for the latter.
