Georgia Bulldogs

Heading into the Shrine Bowl, the highest-ranked uncommitted prospect is Tyrone Crowder (Rockingham, N.C./Richmond Senior), and the four-star offensive guard prospect made waves by cutting his list of finalists from three down to two.

"I eliminated North Carolina from my final choices and right now Clemson and Georgia are my final two," said Crowder. "Clemson and Georgia have been recruiting me since my freshman year and we kinda built up that bond and relationship longer than UNC."

I asked for questions on The Pound, DawgNation’s message board, and our readers had quite a few. This week I was asked to make a lot of predictions, projections and prognostications.

DantesInferno60: Do you think Georgia will continue to recruit Steven Nelson (Warner Robins, Ga./College of the Sequoias)?

Radi Nabulsi: I doubt it. When the coaches originally got word that the talented cornerback might be wavering a few months ago, they called Nelson immediately. He continued to remain a commit until this week. When I spoke to him prior to his Oct. 6 official visit to Oregon State, he sounded much more excited about the Beavers than the Bulldogs. I think Georgia moves on from Nelson and continues to try and flip Brendan Langley (Marietta, Ga./Kell) from South Carolina. Also, juco defensive back Riyahd Jones (Columbus, Ga./Garden City Community College) is visiting Georgia on Saturday. He might get an offer in light of Nelson’s decommitment.

ESPN 150 offensive lineman Tyrone Crowder (Rockingham, N.C./Richmond) would love to be able to get his recruitment over with as soon as possible. But unfortunately, he has not been able to fit any of his official visits into his schedule during his senior season. The 6-foot-2, 325-pound senior acknowledged his decision might not be made until signing day, depending on how quickly he can get his visits done.

The four-star prospect says two key factors stand out right now, with location not being one of them.

“A great coaching staff and a nice campus lifestyle,” Crowder said. “My family tells me that distance does not matter when it comes to me trying to achieve my goals.”

While the summer months are considered downtime, the Georgia Bulldogs have continued their torrid recruiting pace this summer, picking up several commitments from prospects in several states. With the ability and, arguably, the dire need to bring in more than 30 signees for the 2013 class, the Bulldogs have been aggressive with offers. That has paid off with a group that already dwarfs that of the freshman class now on campus. As football season approaches, DawgNation takes a look back at the goings on and decisions made in the past few months, along with a look ahead at what to keep an eye on this fall.

Commitments piling up
As school let out across the country, prospects seemingly lined up to make their commitments known to the Bulldogs. ESPN 300 wide receiver Uriah LeMay (Matthews, N.C./Butler) committed to Georgia on June 1. The 6-foot-2, 197-pound wideout picked the Bulldogs over Clemson, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech and Ohio State, among others. Two days later, another ESPN 300 receiver secured a spot, as Reggie Davis (Tallahassee, Fla./Lincoln) verbally committed. The 6-foot, 162-pound four-star prospect is considered one of the top deep threats in the always-loaded Sunshine State. Less than a week later the Bulldogs picked up their top outside linebacker target, Naim Mustafaa (Alpharetta, Ga./Alpharetta). It was a rare in-state battle for the 6-foot-4, 235-pound four-star, although SEC rival Tennessee continues its pursuit.

A recent visit to North Carolina could land the Tar Heels on Tyrone Crowder's soon-to-be-announced list of finalists.

The center from Rockingham (N.C.) Richmond told ESPN on Friday that he is close to narrowing his list of schools. He said that announcement could come in the next couple of days or within a week.

“I can't say but they have a good chance,” the nation's 97^th best overall prospect and second-best center said when asked if he expected North Carolina to make the cut.

Tyrone Crowder (Rockingham, N.C./Richmond), the No. 1 prospect in North Carolina, was in Athens Friday, but not for Dawg Night. The 6-foot-2, 325-pound offensive lineman target left in the afternoon to travel to Auburn, but his time on campus left a good impression on Crowder.

“My visit to Georgia was awesome,” Crowder said. “I got to talk to Coach [Mark] Richt, visit around the campus, and check out the dorms and academic center.”

The Under Armour All-American spent a lot of time with the Bulldogs’ head coach, and he had glowing things to say about both Richt and offensive line coach Will Friend.

Georgia fans will be tuning in to The Opening, the July 5-8 premier camp in Oregon, to catch several of the Bulldogs' commitments in action. The coaching staff in Athens has to be pleased to see seven Georgia commitments take the field, the second-largest number of commits for any school at the event.

Georgia will be well represented on offense, with four future Dawgs in Oregon.

Quarterback Brice Ramsey (Kingsland, Ga./Camden County) and wide receiver Tramel Terry (Goose Creek, S.C./Goose Creek) are close friends and have been working on their timing together during visits this summer. Wide receiver Reggie Davis (Tallahassee, Fla./Lincoln) will meet up with his future quarterback as well. Protecting Ramsey in the future will be a true grappler, offensive lineman Brandon Kublanow (Marietta, Ga./Walton).

The Georgia football coaches have kept quite busy lately sending out offers and setting up visits for top targets. Thursday was more of the same, as the Bulldogs offered two more out-of-state prospects. Coach Mark Richt has always placed a priority on in-state talent, but he has also been known to go after exceptional players from across the nation. The two latest offers, both to members of the ESPNU 150 Watch List, are no exception.

“They offered today,” said linebacker Alexander Anzalone (Exeter, Pa./Wyoming Area) “It went really well. I talked to Coach [Kirk] Olivadotti and he was just saying how he loves my athleticism and he thinks I would be a great fit at Georgia at linebacker.”

Exeter is just more than 13 hours away from Athens, but Anzalone said distance doesn’t matter.
