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!

Which freshmen will stand out?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There is little question some redshirt freshmen and freshmen will get time on defense this year. Knowing that, there are a couple of guys who I am the most curious to see.
In the secondary Reshad Jones and Quintin Banks should pique the interest of just about everybody. Banks could become the best in Georgia’s long line of big hitters at the safety position. He may not be as big as some of the other heavy hitters. But he has lit up some people in scrimmages throughout his redshirt year and has shown that knack for finding the ball and serious slowing speed.
Jones is intriguing because of his versatility and athleticism. Mark Richt has talked about the possibility of playing him at corner as well as safety. At either position Jones should be able to create turnovers due to his rangy body and speed. It will be hard for Georgia to keep him off the field.
Linebacker Brandon Miller was talking the other day and he said he thinks either Charles White or Rennie Curran will see some time as a true freshman. If I had to bet on somebody, I would say it is Curran just because he is physically ready. But White is a very intelligent player and since he is coming from a military background he knows about discipline and how to stay on assignments.
At the line I know Geno Atkins is a sophomore but it will be interesting to see if he holds off Kade Weston all year. Atkins is not as physically imposing as Weston but he has a better motor at this point and that is why he is listed as a starter going into the fall.
