The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Henry County receiver Jamal Patterson collected his 22nd scholarship offer on Thursday when a Big 10 program threw its hat in the ring in the recruiting scramble for the talented junior.
“I got an offer from Minnesota today,” Patterson said Thursday evening. “And Tennessee offered me on Sunday.”
Patterson, who attended junior day at Tennessee last weekend, will get a taste of more orange this weekend when he visits Clemson on Saturday.
“Clemson is high on my list,” he said. “It’s only about 1 hour, 40 minutes away. I’ve been looking at their position chart and I know I’d have a good chance to play there.”
The 6-foot-2, 190-pound receiver was impressed with his recent stay in Knoxville.
“Tennessee is football town USA,” he said. “It’s amazing up there. They have a great facility and an academic program that Peyton Manning donated a lot to.”
One of Patterson’s offers is from Florida. He plans to visit Gainesville on Apr. 12.
“I’m interested in Florida big time,” he said.
Patterson does not hold an offer from Georgia. But he still plans to attend junior day in Athens on Mar. 22.
“I’m interested in Georgia a lot,” Patterson said. “It’d be good if an offer comes, but if it doesn’t I have other options.”

coach Richt well deserves his raise. He now has one of the top football teams in the nation. He is just now getting started. What I like the most is his being a born agin Christain. That covers everything that is important. Everything else is secondary. His wife helps with his team in every game. Hats off to her.

I see similarities between the new UGA football team from this past year (You know the one - unsportsman like conduct penalties galore) and the University of Miami football teams of the past. The biggest similarity is Mark Richt! Now of course, Richt didn’t play much at Miami, but he does coach the bulldogs! Coincidence, I dont think so!

impeich, did you come up with that all by yourself? That could be the stupidest comment I’ve ever seen. Why don’t you think something else up so everybody can shoot it down too.
