DEL.ICIO.USGeorgia a “perfect fit” for Buford lineman
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Buford junior defensive tackle Dallas Lee chose Georgia over programs such as Florida, Florida State and Tennessee on Saturday.
But the decision to commit to the Dogs was a difficult one.
“Yeah, it was pretty hard at first,” admitted Lee, who will likely play center or guard. “But Georgia turned out to be a perfect fit. They have everything in a school that I wanted.
“And I really like coach [Mark] Richt and [offensive line] coach [Stacy] Searels.
Lee broke the news of his commitment to Searels.
“I told him I want to play in Athens for the next four years,” Lee said.
Buford coach Jess Simpson is confident the Bulldog Nation will be excited to have Lee as part of its 2009 recruiting class.
“Georgia is getting an extra tough, hardnosed lineman,” Simpson said. “He’s a 6-foot-3, 300-pound kid who moves well and has great knowledge and understanding of the game.”

IF UGA CANT GO UNDEFEATED THIS YEAR THEN THEY NEED NEW COACHES. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL SOURCES THIS TEAM HAS IT ALL AND IS HEAVY IN ALL POSITIONS.

We have the talent to go Undefeated but this is the SEC. This isn’t the BIG 10 or PAC 10 where undefeated is possible for someone every year. We will likely have 6-8 games against top 25 opponents looking at our schedule. Should be one hell of a ride.

If not for Vince Dooley, we would never have had Erk Russell. Your point is lost on me Mr. Joiner. Every coach comes from some other program. I like Bobby Bowden, but I don’t feel as if I owe him anything. It was Mark Richt’s choice to come to Athens, not Coach Bowden’s.

I think you have it backwards. Mark Richt made Bobby Bowden.

FSU has faced a steady decline of historic proportion since CMR left Tallahassee for Athens. Welcome to the Bulldog family Dallas Lee!
