Over the next few days, Georgia should be putting the finishing touches on possibly their finest football recruiting class ever. Already a Top 10 class according to the most respected recruiting services, several huge fish are still out there and considering the Dawgs' bait. Because I haven't followed it as obssessively as many on the Internets, I couldn't begin to offer much new on the specifics of each kid.
I do know that one of the biggest fish is about to commit somewhere. Ray Drew is a five-star defensive end that every coach in the country has been drooling over and he announces his commitment at 10 a.m. Friday. Like a lot of these kids, he has toyed with fans and the media through Twitter and Facebook posts about loving and hating nearly every school that has recruited him. He recently claimed that he would "shock the world" by choosing someone completely unexpected (as if anyone outside of college coaches and rabid, middle-aged SEC fans know who he is or care where he goes...but he's a kid and he's having fun...I get that).
Most seem to consider the Dawgs the leaders to sign him next Wednesday and I hope they are. It sounds like he could make a sorely needed impact on the defensive line pretty early. He may even be a key to keeping the snowball rolling downhill and picking up the #1 runningback in the the country Isaiah Crowell and the other three to five big fish out there. But if he's not a Dawg (or the rest of them, for that matter), it's not the end of the world. I've said it a million times: if they don't want to be a Dawg, we're better off without them. But I really hope he wants to be a Dawg.
