DEL.ICIO.USUGA on Commings’ short list; Liuget considers Dogs and Tech

Westside, Augusta receiver/defensive back Sanders Commings is leaning toward a commitment to Florida, Georgia or South Carolina.
“Right now, they’re pretty much even,” Commings said. “I like Georgia because they’ve given me the option to play baseball if I want to.
“And it’s pretty much the same thing with South Carolina. Plus, they’re graduating a lot of safeties.
“I like Florida because they’re a finesse team.”
Commings, who attended a recent Clemson home game, believes the Tigers will make a late push for his services.
“I think they will offer,” he said. “If they come at me hard, I guess I’ll consider it.”
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Commings said he’ll announce his decision on his own timetable.
“My friends tell me to hurry up, and they want me to go to Georgia,” he said. “My family is behind me and is telling me to do what I want to do.
“My family says they will support whatever decision I make.”
Liuget to attend Tech-Georgia contest
Corey Liuget of Hialeah (Fla.) Senior High, who is rated the 11th-best defensive end in the nation by Scout.com, confirmed that Georgia and Georgia Tech are still in the running for his commitment.
“I’ve narrowed it down and Georgia and Georgia Tech are still in there,” said Liuget, who is also considering Florida State, Illinois, LSU, Miami and South Florida.
Liuget plans to be at Boddy Dodd Stadium next month when Georgia Tech hosts Georgia.
On Georgia: “I like [assistant] coach Willie Martinez. When I went there to camp back in the summer, he treated me nice and like I was his own child. I like the place because of the people.”
On Tech: “Georgia Tech is a place I’d like to be in because it’s in the heart of Atlanta. It would fit me nice.”
Division I powers recruiting Henry County’s Patterson
Henry County junior receiver Jamal Patterson has a scholarship offer from Troy. But offers from major Division I powers likely aren’t far behind.
“I’m hearing from every school in the SEC and ACC, Rutgers and Louisville,” Patterson said.
Henry County senior receiver Chris Jackson, who has committed to Georgia Tech, has offered plenty of recruiting advice to young teammate.
“Chris is a great player and a great friend,” Patterson said. “He tells me that all of the schools want to be nice looking. But when you find the right one, make sure it’s the right one and make it home.”
Patterson, who carries a 4.56 GPA, has attended games this fall at Florida, Georgia Tech, North Carolina and Tennessee.
“They all treat you good and real nice,” he said. “I think I’ll commit whenever I feel it’s the right school. But it will most likely be my senior year.”
Patterson, who admits to being a Tennessee fan, said he’s eager to see if offers will roll in from his home state.
“I’ll still wait round for local schools, like Georgia and Georgia Tech,” he said. “I’d still like to visit a lot of other schools to see campuses.
“Right now, I’m a fan of all schools. But I like Tennessee the most.”
Georgia Tech still in the hunt for Green
Defensive end William Green of Spain Park High in Hoover, Ala. continues to consider offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, LSU and Oklahoma.
Green attended LSU’s 28-24 victory over Florida on Saturday in Baton Rouge.
“I thought it would be a close game,” Green said. “LSU has an older team.”
Green said Tech’s 3-3 start isn’t necessarily a strike against the Jackets.
“A team’s record is not all that important to me,” he said. I’m looking at what they’re capable of doing down the road. It doesn’t affect my decision.”

Not so sure UGA needs another DE. We have three commits at that position already. Corey Liuget according to Scout.com is 6-3/229/4.87. Seems a little slow compared to the other three and a little light for DT. Does he have a big motor? Does he play another position?

WTF is a 4.56 GPA? Are we now on a 10 scale?

These days, a student can have over a 4.0 gpa on a 4.0 gpa scale. The reason is because AP classes are on a 5.0 scale which will inflate the overall average. In addition, some schools offer IB and those classes are also on a 5.0 scale.
So, even though the school is on a 4.0 scale, a student in that school can have over a 4.0 gpa. However, most often the highest gpa is something like 4.3. It is rare and next to impossible to have a 4.56 gpa on a 4.0 scale. I wonder if it is a typo or maybe it isn’t on a 4.0 scale.

Guys,
Got inside info that the basketball probs may be the least of our worries. Seems the Sept. NCAA violations that were reported are more serious and are going to result in some action against the Dawgs in football next year. Geez can it get any worse? I am afread this is really going to hurt us with recruits. More info to come out the last week of October (They are trying to hold it as long as possible).
