<p>Newnan High&#8217;s <strong>Alec Ogletree</strong> is considered the state&#8217;s No. 1 college prospect and holds 35 early scholarship offers. He says his twin brother, <strong>Zander Ogletree</strong>, may be better than he is, and Zander has been mostly ignored by college scouts.</p>
<p>&#8220;The only reason I can think that I have all these offers and [my twin brother] doesn&#8217;t is because of height &#8230; because he can <em>play</em>, I mean, he&#8217;s really, really good ,&#8221; said Alec, who was <strong>heavily courted by <a href="http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-football-recruiting/">Georgia coach</a></strong><a href="http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-football-recruiting/"> </a><strong><a href="http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-football-recruiting/">Mark Richt</a></strong> during UGA&#8217;s Junior Day.

<p>Oklahoma State coach <strong>Mike Gundy</strong>, who became an instant celebrity with his <strong>&#8220;</strong><strong>I&#8217;m a Man, I&#8217;m 40&#8243; rant</strong> on YouTube, said his famous tirade to defend one of his former players is helping the Cowboys with <strong><a href="http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/recruiting/index.html?cxntlid=nav_sprts_rcrtng">recruiting</a></strong> future players. Even Gundy admits he never anticipated the recruiting benefits from the emotional outburst which got so popular it was the <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyTQUWEKx0o">punchline for jokes.</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;No, I didn&#8217;t expect it, in any way, shape, form or fashion,&#8221; Gundy told the AJC. &#8220;It&#8217;s interesting since that day, which happened on impulse in my opinion, to protect and take care of one of our players, I didn&#8217;t have any idea that it would take off like this. From that point on, for good or bad, I&#8217;ve become very recognizable across the country.&#8221;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Do you think you know your recruiting? Do you have some inside information that no one else knows? Then let&#8217;s have some fun.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Take your best guess on where five high-profile recruits will sign on Wednesday &#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Greg Reid, DB, Lowndes</strong>. <a href="http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/shared-blogs/ajc/cfbrecruit/entries/2009/01/30/lowndes_allamer.html">It&#8217;s Florida State, UGA, and Alabama.</a> His Lowndes teammate and cousin,<strong> Gerald Demps</strong>, is headed to Florida State, and some family members would like him to play a little closer to home (Tallahassee is 85 miles away, while Athens is 240). Reid admits with Georgia being his final official visit, they are in great position to make the biggest influence before signing day. Will it be enough?</p>
<div id="attachment_166" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 317px"><a href="http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/shared-blogs/ajc/cfbrecruit/entries/2009/01/30/rumors_about_ja.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-166 " src="http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-football-recruiting/files/2009/01/jarvisjones.jpg" alt="Carver LB Jarvis Jones" width="307" height="339" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Carver-Columbus LB Jarvis Jones</p></div>
<p><strong>Jarvis Jones, LB, Carver-Columbus</strong>. The poker-faced Jones lists Florida, Southern Cal, UGA, LSU and Texas. There&#8217;s an &#8220;80-percent chance&#8221; he&#8217;ll go out of state. <a href="http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/shared-blogs/ajc/cfbrecruit/entries/2009/01/30/rumors_about_ja.html">Mark Richt spent six hours with Jones on Wednesday.</a> Was that enough to make Jones think about staying around home to play?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Walton’s <strong>David Paulsen</strong>, who was offered a scholarship by Georgia this week, had to learn about the “grayshirt” recruiting term.</p>
<p>It’s when a senior signs with a college in February but does not enroll during the summer with the rest of his recruiting classmates because of a scholarship overload. Instead, the player delays his start in college until January, allowing the school to count him toward the following year’s scholarship total.</p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-football-recruiting/files/2009/01/davidpaulsenport.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-71" src="http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-football-recruiting/files/2009/01/davidpaulsenport-193x300.jpg" alt="" width="193" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Georgia coach Mark Richt brought up the “grayshirt” issue with Paulsen when making an in-home visit on Monday. It is a creative way to try to get Paulsen to play in Athens.</p>
<p>The 6-foot-3, 240-pound Paulsen is a lifelong Georgia fan. But when he didn’t have an offer last month, he committed to Oklahoma State. But Richt concluded recently that he wanted to sign a fullback, and Paulsen was the No. 1 target.</p>
<p>Georgia has less than the normal 25 scholarships this year because of a large senior class. The Bulldogs are expected to sign no &#0133;</p>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Why does college football recruiting have such a fanatical following? Some have suggested because it is a &#8220;male soap opera.&#8221; Whatever the case, if you like drama, especially among the state&#8217;s top college prospects, there is plenty of it to unravel between now and national signing day on Feb. 4. Here are six recruiting soap operas to watch:</p>
<div id="attachment_7" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 185px"><a href="http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-football-recruiting/files/2009/01/hssuper081709d.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7" src="http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-football-recruiting/files/2009/01/hssuper081709d.jpg" alt="Reid" width="175" height="201" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Greg Reid is considering the Gators, UGA, Florida State, Mississippi State, and Texas and probably six more colleges that called by the time you read this caption.</p></div>
<p><strong>Greg Reid, Lowndes</strong>: He may be the nation&#8217;s hottest prospect after his MVP performance in the <em>Under Armour All-America</em> game, intercepting two passes and nearly picking off another. Only a few days earlier, the 5-foot-9, 185-pound Reid made the surprising move to back off his longtime commitment to Florida, saying he rushed his initial decision. UGA has reminded Reid it still has a scholarship available for him. He will make recruiting trips to Florida on Jan. 16, Mississippi State &#0133;</p>]]></description>
