DEL.ICIO.USDunwoody DE Malcolm Mitchell excited about meeting with UGA coaches

Dunwoody defensive end Malcolm Mitchell says he will wait until January to take official visits, but he’s excited about a meeting at his school this week with Georgia recruiters.
As one of the AJC’s The Georgia 150 prospects, Mitchell said UGA plans to meet with him on Thursday. He says Georgia has been in contact with him for most of the season.
“I’m pretty nervous, excited,” said Mitchell, a 6-foot-2, 225-pounder, who has not been offered by Georgia. “But if they offer, I’ll probably commit there very quickly. … They’ve had one d-end already committed. I’m hoping I can be the second one.”
Mitchell said he will take official visits on consecutive January weekends to Alabama-Birmingham, Central Florida, Tulane and Troy. He originally had wanted to take some visits this month, but they could not be worked out.
Last week, recruiters from Tulane and Western Kentucky came to see him.
Other offers for Mitchell have come from West Virginia, South Carolina, Louisville, Marshall and Indiana. Georgia Tech has Mitchell on its recruiting board, but told him they are waiting to see what some other players are going to do before making a final decision on an offer.

I’m sure there are a lot of guys that will commit as soon as the dawgs offer. Can’t blame the kid, but he should take all his visits and enjoy this time in his life. Don’t wait on an offer that may never materialize.

Good advice George. If his parents are doing their job then he’s getting the same advice at home as well.

Sven, he’s obviously garnered more attention lately. That’s why he’s only scheduled official visits with UAB, C. Florida, Tulane, & Troy but said other offers have come (more recently) from W. Virginia, S. Carolina, Louisville, Indiana, & maybe soon Georgia.
