DEL.ICIO.USOffers on hold for Jefferson DB with meniscus tear
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Jefferson free safety/receiver Zach Crosby continues to recover from recent surgery to repair a meniscus tear, which occurred during a private workout late last month.
“He should be back in about three weeks,” Jefferson coach Bill Navas said. “He was probably set up to go to about 15 camps this summer.
“But we felt it was better for him to rest. He’ll go through rehab so he’ll be ready to have a solid season.”
Crosby caught 54 passes and rushed for nearly 400 yards last season for the Dragons. But Crosby is primarily being recruited as a defensive back.
“He doesn’t have any offers right now, but some schools are talking about offering,” Navas said.
“He’s a legitimate kid. Pound for pound, he’s one of the strongest kids in the state. He’s a weightlifting champion.”
The speedy 5-foot-9, 170-pound Crosby turned heads in Athens prior to suffering his injury.
“He can run a 4.3 [in the] 40 and a 4.4 consistently,” Navas said. “He ran a 4.3 for Georgia.
“Not being able to go to these camps hurts. But he’s already [academically] qualified. He’s too good of a player not to sign somewhere.”

Pointdexters eat boogers! Wreck Tech — did you NERDs ever get that car fixed? Very symbolic of your football program — fell off and never heard from again! And Paul Johnson to the rescue? You are delusional!
Bill Curry is going to beeatch slap you in the DOME!
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name — I bench pressed 360lbs! If one of you Skeeters were drowning in the ocean, would I through you a life preserver? Hell No! Who do you think pushed the stupid b******* overboard in the first place?”
I must say thanks, however, without you NERDS there would be no one to fix my refrigerator or washing machine — thanks for the last oil change on my Range Rover too (GreaseMonkeys)!

Are you a Pointdexter? Do you eat boogers? Nancy Boys attack — slapfest — you fight like girls!
Eat another booger? Paul Johnson coached at Navy, so he’s going to turn the North Ave. Trade School around … yep, he’s going to right the course for the NancyBoys! WoooHooo!
How ‘Bout Them Dawgs! Omaha ever been this kind to YellerSkeeters? 1990??

This Nancy Boy guy has an astonishing command of the Queen’s English for one who claims degrees from UGA,Emory & Ga State. If I were an alumni I would be proud of him.

What 4th grade humor…This article is about a HS kid that just had an injury. Wish him a speedy recovery and scholarship chance and move on. Sounds like Tech or UGA could find a place for this player.

Question for the AJC editors, why do you have this Comment section without some type of editing control? It has become a private forum for a group of people to contribute nothing and brings the AJC to the level of something lower than the Jerry Springer show. It’s your company and you do what you wish.

This a story about an injured player and the 08-09 super 11. Why all the talking crap about nothing? People be constructive about young men not personal attacks on people you really don’t even know. I have that I have wasted some of my lunchtime on this crap.

Some real neanderthals live on this board. True Bubbas emerge. If these people claim to be part of the Bulldog nation, I feel sorry for the other Bulldog fans who have to endure a moron like this. I wonder if this guy got past a grade school education? Highly unlikely.

It’s just a kid. No one calls us the “Yeller Skeeters” anyway. He’s an eight year old in his mom’s basement that made it up…let him giggle to himself and think he’s the man.

Hey Goldtimer, Just click on enter 1 (one) time. Unless you have “oldtimers disease” and forgot how many times you clicked. OR, you probably still have dial up and just a S L O W connection.
Go Dawgs! Tech Sucks!

Young Crosby needs to reconsider and go anywhere else but Tech. He’s going to be coming off a serious knee injury that if not rehabed properly, could ruin his football career…for good.
If he goes to Tech, they will want to play him immediately due to their lack of experience. Georgia, on the other hand, believes in player safety above all else. They will take care of the kid.
I think Tech program speaks for itself since they fired me. Sorry, I mean since I left for Central Fla.
Like another blogger blogged….Techs Football program reminds me of the “Ramblin Wreck” the cheerleaders PUSH onto the field before games. Their football program needs a PUSH START bad.
As always, Tech Sucks and Go Dogs!
