UGA blog finds new home
Morning all. As I’ve said a couple of times this week, we’re converting this blog over to a WordPress platform and it will be a permanent move the first of next week.
Those of you who are regulars probably know that I’m not what you’d call techno-wizard when it comes to these things. But from what I understand the technology offered in this new format should make the blogging and commenting experience better for all. Of course, I’ll be learning as we go along, too. But I’m hoping to provide more pictures and video and things like that which should bring the blog more to life.
Of course, this blog is nothing without all you guys so I want to heartily invite (read: beg) you to come over to the new site by CLICKING HERE ON THE NEW ADDRESS and save it in your browsers. As of Monday, Feb. 23rd, this will be the permanent home of the UGA blog you so love or, in the case of some of you, love to loathe. If you’d prefer to copy and paste or just memorize, the new address is: http://blogs.ajc.com/uga-sports-blog/.
See at the new place!

The King factor
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So Caleb King is coming to Georgia, now the backfield will have five people fighting for the ball and history has proven Mark Richt is not going to just stick with one guy and let him work for 100-yard games. I would expect Kregg Lumpkin to be the starter, Knowshon Moreno to start the season as the backup, Thomas Brown as third string, Caleb King as a hybrid runner/pass catcher and Danny Ware as a utility guy. Brown may challenge for more playing time as the year goes on and probably should be the No. 2 guy. But that knee injury may not be 100 percent healed so I think Richt will ease him back into things.
Now King – and this is all contingent on if he signs and if he doesn’t goto prep school and doesn’t redshirt - could give Richt his most multifaceted back since Warrick Dunn. Dunn was a shiftier runner. But if all the reviews are true King can be trusted to make plays all over the field.
Then again, this is recruiting and you never know. Remember, Lumpkin was rated ahead of Reggie Bush. And D.J. Shockley was rated ahead of Matt Leinart.
Now what Georgia needs is another running back. One who will redshirt and give the position some depth. Think about 2008. Brown, Lumpkin and Ware will be gone. King and Moreno will be sophomores. It would be nice if Georgia had one running back coming off a redshirt year that year and then were bringing in another true freshman. That would give them four in the stable and enough if anything were to happen to one of the top two.
