Rogers to UT?
ESPN is reporting a switch of Da’Rick Rogers from UGA to Tennessee. Dawg fans apparently reporting it’s academics related.

3* LB Darrin Kitchens (previously uncommitted) to Florida. Almost certainly a sign that higher touted LB Christian Jones going elsewhere (i.e. FSU).

Makes 9 commits from the greater Miami/south Florida area. That’s big news, since that area has mostly been Miami and FSU’s domain since the two of them got good at football.

2 OL switches to Miss St.
3* Eric Lawson (decommit from TTU) and 2* Dillon Day (decommit from LA Tech).

4* WR Ivan McCartney to WVU. Has been a target of many an SEC team.

LB Christian Jones to FSU, just as Kitchens commit to UF indicated.

Jones seemed to be such a strong lean to FSU I didn’t really think he was in play anyhow. Would be nice to get one more of the big names left.
Sounds good to me. Coxson would be nice too, of course – I can’t help but feel that this class is a little light on guys who actually, you know, score points. Though UF could be plenty deep in that department already if some guys develop, and I suppose that Debose could be considered the offensive stud of this class, since he would never have red-shirted if healthy.
Trio to Ole Miss
3* TE Cordell Giles (previously uncommitted), 4* WR Vincent Sanders (previously uncommitted), and 3* LB Ralph Williams (former Tenn. soft verbal) to Oxford, per Rivals.

OGGOA’s Adam Silverstein reports that UF signee Lynden Trail told him that Chaz Green is a Gator.

If true, him + Coxson = end of Florida’s day. They make #27 and #28, and 28 is the SEC’s LOI limit.

I’ll take it, no question – wrapping up a full-sized #1 class by mid-day is pretty much the perfect way to finish things off.
Not really
All rumors I’ve seen about him have been fleeting; there’s never seemed to be two that match.

4* WR Jarrett Fobbs decommits from Texas A&M to sign with LSU. Miles is closing strong and getting kids to flip today.

Still...
plenty to be excited about with the current crop as is. 3 of GA’s top 4 defenders stay with the Dawgs, Richard Samuel moving to LB, Kris Durham returning to action this year. Lots to be excited about…
There’s a lot to like about what Georgia has coming back on offense, but I’m not sure about the rest. UGA still has a nice class, but it’s missed on some high profile guys today.

very true...
…but I don’t think losing Rogers and Whitaker hurts the team itself nearly as much as it hurts UGA’s perception across the country as a national recruiting power. Georgia has plenty of horses at the wideout spots (including the possibility/probability of Logan Gray moving out wide) and picked up two great DT prospects today.
All this recruiting talk aside, Georgia’s 2010 season rests infinitely more on the play of Murray/Mettenberger than it does on any of these recruits signing on today…
3* ATH Jerrell Priester decommits from Vandy, goes with Kentucky.

Les Miles always struck me as the kind of guy who would leave his term paper until the night before… he’d probably kick-start the “creative process” with a shot of Jagermeister, too. Seems to be working today, though.
It sure is
For all the talk of him “running out of Nick Saban’s players” there, he does an excellent job at getting highly rated guys.

3* ATH Jarrett Lake to Arkansas, former Oklahoma commit pushed out by others.

Back later
Lunch break time, and no big announcements for a while, I believe.

Now there’s a guy who, um, didn’t quite ‘fulfill his potential’. I think he was a 5* the first time around… [sigh]
That’s why it’s best not to get too worked up over signing day.

4* S Demar Dorsey, who decommitted from UF and was expected to go to FSU or USC, has picked Michigan, per SI.

There has been some doubt about him for a while, and Cal was reported to be in the picture before today.
Overall, probably Calvin Smith to New Mexico because it’s freaking New Mexico. 4* guys from Florida just don’t go play at mediocre MWC schools. That, or LSU suddenly stealing guys left and right. I didn’t expect Miles to play robber baron all of a sudden.
