Mark Richt met with the media Wednesday afternoon and introduced his initial 27-member 2015 signing class at Georgia.

He said there was a possibility the Bulldogs could sign a few others a couple hours later, notably five-star commit Terry Godwin who hadn’t yet faxed in LOI at his introduction.

Richt was correct.

The Bulldogs received great news just after 6 p.m. EST when Godwin reaffirmed his commitment and stayed home, signing with Georgia to become the second consensus five-star in the 2015 class, joining the nation’s top player, Trent Thompson. Richt’s third Top 10 class in the last five years is a championship-level haul that could get even better if Roquan Smith inks with the Bulldogs.

Smith was a primary remaining target who committed to UCLA on Wednesday morning, but didn’t sign after learning of Bruins defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich’s leap to the NFL. The four-star linebacker has has reopened his recruitment which includes other finalists Texas A&M and Michigan.

The Bulldogs overcame eight decommitments over the cycle including four-star receiver Darius Slayton’s pledge to Auburn on Tuesday to rebound well with signatures from 15 players total players rated four stars or better.

Four-star safety Rashad Roundtree headlines an impressive secondary haul that includes six other ballhawks looking to make an impact for Jeremy Pruitt. In the trenches, Georgia signed four offensive linemen and eight along the defensive front anchored by Thompson.
