A bit of good news to close the weekend
Monday January 5, 2009
As expected (and hoped), five-star cornerback Branden Smith committed to Georgia live on ESPN during the Under Armour All Star game on Sunday evening. Smith, of Washington High School in Atlanta, chose Georgia over, well, offers from just about everyone in the nation, but his decision came down to Florida, FSU, Alabama, and Georgia. He is rated the #4 cornerback in the nation and the #31 prospect overall by Rivals.com.
Greg Reid of Valdosta was one of the standouts in the Under Armour game, and he recently rescinded his commitment to Florida. Georgia is among those he will consider, but his academics are a concern.
