Jon Richt Commits to Clemson.

The Banner Herald has the story. No surprise here as Coach Richt is almost an honorary Bowden, and there was no way Jon was going to sign in Athens. This is a good thing, as I noted from the inception of this blog.

Clemson gets a coach's kid who'll be polished like a new penny by the time he reaches the shores of Lake Hartwell. Georgia won't have to deal with an uncomfortable depth chart situation that would make the tempest in a teapot over Joe Tereshinski III look tame. Father and son won't compete against each other unless A) it's in the Peach Bowl or B) a BCS game. On whole, the best possible outcome has come to pass. *There is no truth to the rumor that the story broke when MaconDawg's correspondent Darius Dawgberry saw Katherine Richt at Franklin's buying 7 sets of orange overalls with the days of the week on them.

*But we really, really wish he had. Because it would confirm so many stereotypes in one fell swoop . . .
