Robert Goulet broke in and messed with my stuff.
I've got the video to prove it. As a result I won't be posting the next in my series of video breakdowns of our 2007 signing class until later this afternoon.
In the meantime, a few random thoughts from the weekend:
Dawgs fall 66-61 to Vanderbilt. The sad part of the last two games is not that defenses have collapsed in to prevent us getting the ball to Takais Brown down low. The sad part is that our perimeter players are powerless to prevent it. Mike Mercer is simply too inconsistent as a shooter. He plays good defense, and I'm sure he's a wonderful kid. But this team won't go anywhere until people have to actually guard him from 15 feet out. He's given no one any reason to suspect that such a tactic is necessary. Our RPI has fallen to 45, but I think we're still in the tournament unless we really fade down the stretch. However, it seems that the jig is up on the Takais Brown show. Unless Felton can get something from the guards, Brown will be continually molested from here to a first round exit from the NIT.
Ted Kian has an early look at our 2008 recruiting targets over at the Georgia AOLFanhouse site. It's nothing that the true recruiting hacks among us don't already know, but it's a solid read which includes a breakdown of returning players. AOL is phasing out its individual writers covering college football teams, so the Georgia football blog will be a lot less hopping in the future. I don't always agree with what Ted posts, but I can't quibble with the fact he's put in some work on that site.
Antwane Greenlee is waffling again. I couldn't care less. David Ching has met him and seems to think a lot of the kid, who seems genuinely conflicted. I am not going to jump all over him for that. But I do think the fact that so many are following this little soap opera like it's the first lunar landing is further proof that many of us need some perspective.
Greenlee is a good player with a world of potential. But if he goes to Florida State we'll never see him on the field again (unless it's in the Peach Bowl). If he can't see that his chances for college playing time and NFL stardom are the same or better at a rising program like Georgia than at a sinking program like Florida State, that's his business (though I would suggest he talk to Kenny O'Neal, Fred Rouse and Lorenzo Booker about Coach Bowden's playing time spiel). We've already got 2-3 very good tackle prospects, and we'll be fine. If he comes, that great, he'll be a nice addition.
