DEL.ICIO.USThe Big Impact: UGA commit Vasser to miss Dogs’ opener
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Chestatee’s Chase Vasser, a 6-foot-3, 200 pound Georgia-bound linebacker, will miss the No. 1 ranked Dogs’ season opener against Georgia Southern on Labor Day weekend.
But expect Vasser to be a regular fixture at Sanford Stadium during the remainder of the season.
“I’ll be visiting my family in Tennessee [on Aug. 30],” said Vasser, whose senior season begins on Aug. 29 when Chestatee hosts Gainesville. “But I’ll be at the rest of the home games.
“And I might make it to the games at Florida and LSU. I’m about 90 percent sure on those two.”
Vasser, who plans to enroll at Georgia in January and room with incoming quarterback recruit Zach Mettenberger, said he’s still being recruited by several other colleges.
“I’m still hearing from Kentucky, Clemson, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech,” he said. “Those are the main ones still sending personal, handwritten letters.
“And there are others still sending me junk mail. But I think they all kind of know that I’m going to Georgia.”

this may be the biggest waste of a story ever…are you kidding me? You can’t do your job any better than this and actually go out and get a real story?

Glad to read anything about Vasser. Seems to be a good young man. Glad he’s close to his family. And very glad he’s UGA bound. Can alway use another young man of good character on the team!

Chase Vasser to miss every game at Youngstown St U. this fall. Does plan to see the Eastern Michigan vs Western Michigan game if played on a Thursday. He told me he will NOT see any Va Union games, as they did not recruit him hard enough, but will try to catch the first half action of all Coastal Carolina games that have a 2:05 starting time. Be advised, this is subject to change depending on the weather and the amount of flex time his pilot has available.

This just in…Chase Vasser has told this reporter that he will see every game of every team that has advertised their starting times in military time. Next update at 19:00.

I wouldn’t worry about Vasser. My daughter attends his high school. He certainly isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer by any standard. He’ll never make it through the first year of UGA. He probably won’t be able to find his dorm room.
