Georgia inches closer to nation's No. 1 recruiting class as Bulldogs land commitment from 4-star running back Jordan James
Georgia’s recruiting momentum continues to roll on as the Bulldogs just landed a commitment from four-star Tennessee running back, Jordan James.
The Oakland High School standout from Murfreesboro announced his commitment on Monday over scholarship offers from Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Florida State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt, among others.
The 5-foot-10, 205-pound James ranks as the No. 17 running back prospect in the country and the No. 3 overall prospect from Tennessee in the 2022 recruiting cycle according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
James’ commitment comes just days after five-star Georgia athlete Malaki Starks and four-star North Carolina linebacker Jalon Walker announced their commitments to Georgia.
Following this news, Georgia currently ranks No. 1 in the SEC and No. 2 nationally in the 2022 recruiting rankings. A commitment from another four- or five-star prospect will be enough to push the Bulldogs into the No. 1 spot nationally.
All 11 prospects currently committed to Georgia rank as either four- or five-star prospects.
During his junior season at Oakland, James rushed for 1,752 yards and 26 touchdowns.
To get an idea of what James brings to the offensive attack in Athens, check out his junior season highlight reel:
dayum UGA hitting it big. This dude is a helluva back. solid and style like Trent Richardson as far as physique
I was gonna watch highlights but was distracted by bikini ad
BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!
Now get the kid from Mississippi and let’s call it a lock at RB.
Kirby and his staff recruit are building a monster in Athens!
Yes Kirby & staff are landing lots of five ***** athletes. But can Kirby get to the “Top” of the mountain ? We’ll see.
Hearing rumblings and concerns that UGA recruiting maybe trending towards slumming since this young man is only a 4-Star @0.9285, #3 in Tennessee, #17 RB and #179 overall. We got a 5-Star, then a Top-50 and then all of a sudden we get one out of the Top-100.
But don’t despair, this young man is underrated, easy top-100 player, maybe at 5-Star

So what you’re sayin is the more we gain the more we lose ground to Mullet? Bummer…suks to be us! LOL, GO DAWGS…the machine rolls on…welcome to the G young man!
Casting for turds. It wasn’t that long ago that you couldn’t swing a dead cat without hitting a turd. I guess the inevitably of mullet and their program is setting in.
FEAR THE WALKING MULLET!!!!
Immediately after we have the wrap up show of …..
FEAR THE TALKING MULLET!!!!!
Terrifying and sooooooo fitting! Especially the second one. I created it and it has to stick!!!!!! LOL
Florida is already…..
THE TALKING DEAD!!!
Because they talk and have a dead program. That is just kind of slowly stumbling around drooling on each other!!!!! LOL. Now tell me that is not THE PERFECT FLORIDA ANALOGY FOR HALLOWEEN!!!!! Someone needs to make a video!!!! LOL

Not sure what time the meth wears off but when it does, get some rest my friend, you sound tired. Go dawgs
Please seek help. Hate to see a dawg fan in your condition.
Wow, the rich get richer!
Seems like a good get but let’s not too far ahead of ourselves. The G Day game for 2021 hasn’t happened. Recruiting is obviously important and I think it will shape up to be a good class but I still don’t celebrate recruiting titles and I ESPECIALLY don’t celebrate the number 1 recruiting class almost a year before the NSD.
Yeah, wouldn’t want to pull a Tennessee and proclaim ourselves recruiting champions of the world in March…
Recruiting classes should only be celebrated on or after NSD. And certainly never in the spring.
Celebrate the moment. Jeez
It’s a great commitment, no doubt. But I’ll wait until LOIs are submitted before getting too excited. Plus, the real reasons to celebrate come in the fall.
Agree with what box said^
Lighten up Francis
If I skip you boys a couple of C notes you promise you’ll use it to get laid?
You can still be a fan, have fun, and be rooted in reality. Here’s the thing, if you get this excited when a kid commits in March will you get just as upset if he de-commits in November?
You can ride that emotional roller coaster based on the whims of teenagers but I choose to recognize the talent, hope the player stays committed, and welcome the players once they’ve signed on the dotted line.
You’re obsession with people commenting things that don’t agree with your thoughts equating to a lack of “getting laid” is asinine and immature but maybe that’s just me needing to lighten up.
Dang dude, if you kick your dog tonight, tell him I’m sorry
Man. Your a downer.
TDOW, that’s a generous offer. But I must decline. Don’t think the wife would approve of the earmarked use of that money however.
Slip me a few. Will not need to get laid. Might make gator o grill
hbobodraw……..You don’t want anyone trying to copy your name do ya? LOL. Yea, I get what your saying. But we are not Tennessee and Kirby is not Pruitt!!! Remember where we were this time last year????
Then Alabama suddenly caught fire in recruiting and passed everyone. While we were doing better but ALABAMA HAD A CLEAR UNFAIR ADVANTAGE!!!
When our coaches unable to even recruit in person. No official visits to Athens to see our spectacular campus. With all our OTHERWORLDLY RECRUITING TREATS FOR RECRUITS!!! How could they possibly want to know if UGA was the place to be????
For that matter. Everyone was at a clear disadvantage to Alabama. When all things are level then UGA will win as many or more than they lose in recruiting!!!!
But when all you have is ZOOM CALLS. AND EVERYONE IS TELLING YOU THE SAME THING. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO???? TO THE FAMOUS COACH THAT IS WHERE!!!!!
Not to mention that ESPN and SEC NETWORK RECRUIT FOR ALABAMA DAY AND NIGHT!!! With all those documentaries about Saban and Alabama. How many of them have segments dedicated to THOSE ALABAMA DEFENSES THAT STARTED IT ALL???? And even when they do say something. It’s always SABANS DEFENSE!!!!
IT WAS NEVER SABANS DEFENSE!!!!! EVER!!!!
IT WAS KIRBY SMART’S DEFENSE PERIOD!!!!!!!
Alabama hasn’t looked the same defensively since Kirby left there!!! But UGA has had quite a few top rated defenses!!!! Saban also has everyone fooled into believing that all of a sudden. OFFENSE TRUMPS DEFENSE!!!!! Well that is only true if the defensive team is forced to play their TINY 5TH STRING QB THAT MAKES A BUNCH OF TURNOVERS. GIVING THE OFFENSIVE TEAM SHORT FIELD AFTER SHORT FIELD!!!
PS. Let UGA play defense like I know they are capable. Then let the offense be able to score enough. And you’ll see Alabama get spanked!!!! They got spanked in 2017 and UGA WAS ROBBED PERIOD!!!!! In 2018 did Tua throw all over us????? No he didn’t!!!! We shut him and them down!!!!
UGA IS THE REAL REASON CLEMSON DESTROYED ALABAMA!!!! It wasn’t their defensive coach that was brilliant. He copied the UGA defensive game plan!!!! Guess what. If we would have had Trevor Lawrence and all those wide receivers they had. We would have destroyed Alabama!!!!!
PS. Even a elite defense needs a capable offense. Someone to give them a breather if nothing else!!! Yea you need to be able to score. Otherwise your defense just burns in self out. But put two teams that can both score on the field. And I’ll take the elite DEFENSE any day of the week and 5 times on Saturday!!!!!!
PS. I guarantee UGA wins the SEC in 2021!!!! By the way. Nobody has congratulated me yet on my GUARANTEE THAT ALABAMA WOULD LOSE SUNDAY!!!! I TOLD YOU SO!!!! No I wasn’t rooting against them. I just knew, that’s all

What a waste. These players could have played on a championship team. Instead, they will play for the University of Underachieving.
The only waste is my time for bothering to respond to you. Your pretty pathetic if you are bothered by the choices that 17 and 18 year olds make.
Momma says them English pups are so ornery because they got all them recruits but nothing to show for it…
You don’t sound very bright. Like mother, like son.
I am pathetic, but not for the reason you stated.
Hi Pachy. I hope if you really feel that way about yourself you get some help. Life can be tough. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
Sorry your serving time for poisoning trees.
Kirby and Co. Kicking A$$ and Taking Names… GOOOODAWGS!
If they could garner Branson Robinson’s signature it would make for a great duo at RB for this class.
So does bringing another RB mean Lovasea Carroll is officially a DB?
Congratulations!
I am pulling hard for you to win yet another recruiting national championship.
Do not pay attention to hbobodraw, boxster or others who fail to recognize the supreme importance of what happens in the spring instead of the results after the season is over. Your track record speaks for itself when it comes to recruiting and winning real championships. The correlation is something you guys should be proud of and something I hope continues unchanged for decades to come
Thanks.1980 Buck to Lindsay. Couldn’t stop 3rd down then. Can’t now. I hope that never changes. Mullet is obsessed with shoes. Kirby obsessed with recruiting.Your team throws shoes, ours recruits top players.
TRj, I hope you get your wish. Finishing No. 1-5 in recruiting means you signed enough talent to compete on a sustainable level, as long as you can string a few of those together. Kirby can…
Maybe Mullen can do the same one day. There’s always hope. Right?
Don’t get confused Timmy, the correlation I’m talking about is like you say, finishing 1 – 5 in recruiting AND winning national championships. Bama & OSU have been able to do it in the past 5 years or so, you guys haven’t
1980 . Beat your Sorry a$$ es on third down and 93 yards.

It’s 2021 and Kirby Smart is the HC at UGA and mullet is the HC at UF. Gone are Dooley, Spurrier, Richt, Meyer etc.
What is Kirby’s record against UF and mullet?
In Kirby’s 5 years as a HC how many SECE titles, SEC Championships, CPF games, NC game etc has Kirby played in or for? In 2022 Kirby and UGA will be playing for their 4th SECE title in Kirby’s 6 years.
What is mullet and UF playing for in their 4th year?
Who is the SECE favorite for 2021 – UGA or UF?
In 2020, mullet and UF’s best season to date, who finished the season ranked higher, UGA or UF?
Does recruiting matter?
Honestly, which program is trending better, UGA or UF?
Why do you live in the past?
It’s funny watching fans of two programs that haven’t won anything argue over which one sucks the least…
Dumba&&
Saban’s clock is still ticking, he ain’t getting younger this year…until then enjoy the neighbor’s fighting…
Saban didn’t take over Bama till 2007 and UGA still hadn’t won a NC since 1980…
If Saban retired tomorrow guess UGA’s last NC would still be over 40 years ago.. UGA is a good program
And team that doesn’t win NCs.. That’s Nothing new…
Go poison an oak tree.
Poison any trees lately?
Saban didn’t take over Bama till 2007 and UGA still hadn’t won a NC since 1980…
So what you’re saying is since 1980 both Bama and UGA had won 1 NC each until Saban came along and won in 2009 and has been beating pretty much every team in the nation since? Enjoy riding the old man’s coat tails BT, like I said, he isn’t getting younger, clock is still ticking.
UGA has the same amount of NCs as Vandy in the last 40 years…
All talk with nothing to show for it… It’s the UGA way..
How is the Gator class shaping up? I see you have a couple of 4-stars and rank just above North Carolina and Miss St, so that’s good, I guess. Another solidly mediocre class.
GO DAWGS!
