The Capstone Report likes UGA in 2010.
#3 – Georgia Mark Richt is a proven winner who seems to have his back against the wall. He’s in a jam, at least from a perception standpoint. Still, I believe that the quality talent he’s pooled the last few years will begin to surface this season. Barring injuries, this is a team that will play Florida for the right to represent the East in the championship game. Richt’s Bulldogs may be good enough to win.
There’s been so much talk about a position switch. Did you think a lot about that, or were you a quarterback in your mind all along?
Gray: I’ve thought about it some. I think ultimately I just want to try to do what’s best for me and what’s best for our team and helping out the team. I’ve thought about it, and nothing has really changed, dating back to anytime really. I’m planning on playing quarterback. If it doesn’t work, I’m not, like, opposed to playing receiver or trying to play defense or whatever it may be. Ultimately I just want to try to help the team win and, you know, contribute.
Former Dawg preparing for life after football. His business website here.
Former Georgia football player Kedric Golston is going back to school this week. The Washington Redskins defensive tackle is among 77 players enrolled in the NFL’s business management and entrepreneurial program at the Harvard Business School and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, according to the NFL.
Nick Marshall is Georgia’s top rated 2011 QB and UGA wants him. This family should be in the running for the all-name team anyway.
Georgia won’t likely to be the last school to offer a package deal involving Marshall in some form. Outlaw’s scholarship papers with Georgia become void after he enrolls at Georgia Military this fall. Other colleges may pursue Outlaw, who says he will remain loyal to Georgia but is technically free to sign anywhere in two years.
There is also Nick’s half-brother, Quez Mahoganey (6-3, 190 pounds), a promising sophomore who contributed on both sides of the ball in Wilcox’s Class A state championship run. The boys’ mother would love to see her sons follow the example of the Ogletree twins and play together in college.
“Since they were little boys, they’ve always been outside playing football or basketball,” Shalena Mahoganey said. “I just feel so blessed that Nick has the opportunity for a free college education. Being a single parent and raising [three] kids on my own, I thank the Lord for it. I say my prayers for them to stay healthy and I know everything will work out for the best for each of them.”
Latest Big 10 expansion rumor.
Nebraska isn’t a home-run addition like Texas or Notre Dame, but it would add another traditional power in football to the league. Although the Huskers aren’t what they were when Osborne coached, the program clearly is on the rise under Bo Pelini. Nebraska also fits geographically better than Texas, as Lincoln is less than 300 miles from Iowa City. The big drawback would be a small TV market and a state that doesn’t produce a ton of FBS players.
