Georgia Lands Superstar CB Recruit

Brandon Smith (CB) announced his commitment to Georgia during ESPN's telecast of the Under Armour All-American Game. Smith is one of the most important in-state recruits for the Bulldogs this season. Truly elite players at positions of extreme need have to stay in state for us to move up as a program. This commitment is a very big deal.

Smith is listed as a 4 star CB (#7 nationally) by Scout.com; however, Chad Simmons of Scout.com has raved about his performance at the all-star game for days. In fact, his article linked above says, "expect [Smith] to make a move up the rankings when they are updated after his performance in Orlando this week."

Rivals has Smith as the #4 rated CB with 5 stars. His other offers were from...well...everyone on the planet. To me, that's what matters most. Are you recruiting kids that folks above you in the pecking order want?

Several reporters have asked him about Rodney Garner's possible departure from UGA, and it doesn't seem that it will matter to him.

In my non-expert opinion, the two biggest fish left out there are Marlon Brown (WR from Memphis) and Bobbie Massie (OT at Hargrave). From what I've read, I like our chances with Marlon more than Massie.
