DEL.ICIO.USDogs and Vols recruiting Gainesville junior QB Sims
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
By engineering Gainesville to a 2-0 start, the Red Elephants’ Blake Sims has quickly established himself as one of the premier junior quarterbacks in the state.
Evidence of his status with college recruiters can be found in his mailbox each day.
“I’ve been getting a lot of letters lately from schools like Georgia, Florida, West Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia Tech,” he said. “They all want me to come and visit and check things out.”
Sims will take the Volunteers up on their invitation this weekend.
“I’ll be visiting Tennessee on Saturday [when the Vols host UAB],” said Sims, who attended a scrimmage in Knoxville last month. “I’ll be going with some friends.
“I’m just trying to find a school that is a good fit for me.”
If Tennessee winds up offering Sims, their major competition could come from SEC-rival Georgia.
“I would love to sign with Georgia,” Sims said. “Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve wanted to be a bulldog. I’m a diehard Georgia fan, and I like [Georgia coach] Mark Richt a lot.
“I’d like to spend four years playing football for him.”

Sounds like a UGA lock — assuming we sign a QB in that class (though we should sign 1). Gotta love UGA love! Sounds like a smart kid. I don’t think FatPhil and the Rotten Crotch Nation can get him if UGA wants him.
