DEL.ICIO.USUGA makes things clear with Florida TE Orson Charles
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

If highly recruited tight end Orson Charles of Tampa, Fla., wasn’t already sure that he was still wanted by Georgia, Bulldogs tight end coach John Lilly made it clear last Saturday.
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Charles met with Lilly during his unofficial visit to Georgia. Charles had heard rumors that he was no longer a high priority for the Bulldogs after the commitment of tight end Arthur Fontaine of Dartmouth, Mass., this past summer.
“Coach Lilly said Georgia still wants me the same as before, if not more,” Charles said. “He said Arthur and I are both tight ends, but different types of tight ends. We both excel at different things.”
Charles said the decision of Fontaine or any tight end at any college wouldn’t affect his final choice. “There’s competition everywhere, and I’m not scared of competition,” he said. “You’re going to have to battle to get on the field wherever you go.”
Charles, an AJC Super Southern 100 selection and ranked as the nation’s No. 2 tight end by Rivals, favors Miami, which has three commitments at his position. He also is considering Florida, Georgia and Florida State.

I mean do you want to play in front of 92,000+ rabid fans or would you like to show up and play in a stadium in south Florida that is half empty?
