They left Keith Marshall off of the UGA headliners.
Definitely a worthy addition. I should have included him on the list. I have added.
So Ole Miss finishes below Vanderbilt and Kentucky. It’s starting to look like Houston Nutt has left his mark on that program for at least a decade.
Big weekend for Georgia, gurley will make his decision friday my saturday. Uga it might be. Clemons will more then likely commit because of him already trying to recruit b4 he commits, Avery young is a strong poss, next weekend we get our shot at davis, along with the juco WR Patterson plus more.
