The one person who’s clearly NOT professional about all of this is Nance. Rogers may have changed his mind, but he’s an 18-year-old kid making a crucial life decision, so it’s understandable. There’s no reason to justify Nance talking crap about UGA coaches and staff to the press, however.

And I hope he was only referring to the current UT coaches. Calling Mark Richt less professional than Lane Kiffin is beyond absurd.

Bottom line is $$$ talks and BS walks. I’m sure Mr. Nance will be paying Rodgers along with his son to attend UT. This was really a no brainer for Rodgers. He is getting paid to go play football with his best friend. I bet one of them will end up transferring within two years. I bet it will be the one running his mouth about the UGA coaches. It was also a no brainer for the UGA coaches. Hudson Mason is more vauable then Nance and Rodgers put together!

This is complete B.S. I’m from Calhoun and this little panty waste is still bitter because UGA rejected him and refused to cowtow to Daddy Nance’s 2 for 1 deal. Say what you want about Mark Richt but I have never heard of a recruit claiming “bad dealings” with the UGA program. How about giving us an example you little pimple face Qu*er.

Trust me UGA is much better off without Me’rick rogers anyway. The Dawgs are in the process of loading up on some serious wide receiver talent for the 2011 class. So that punk Rogers can take his little ghost white bed buddy and stay in Knoxville. I guess pimple face is trying to drudge up some publicity sense he will never see the football field his entire career. Better soak it up now chump.

Really classy Nance. This is laughable…Nance is a no talent QB that got the Tennessee offer because he’s best friends with Rogers, and now he’s trying to throw UGA under the bus…please. Jefferson, you’re an idiot.

Nance should just keep his mouth shut and prepare to hold the clipboard on the sidelines for the next 4 years. The only reason he won’t be watching from the stands is because Da’Rick wants to stand next to his BFF on the sidelines.

Da’Rick Rogers reminds me of Jabari Davis. He wanted to play at UT because, “they won championships.” I think UGA won 2 SEC titles while he was at UT.

Since UGA never offer Nance, how can there be friction? They were not recruiting him so there should have been no contact with this player in any meaningful way. I don’t follow this story or its motive. UGA fans have moved on. Maybe they should consider the same course of action?

Da’Rick will find trouble real soon at UT. He left Darlington because he was upset that Darlington “asked him to act like a leader” per the AJC. He wouldn’t quit picking on the small Asian students at school. It says a lot when the most talented player in Darlington’s 100 year history but was not allowed to come back to school his junior year. Kudos for Darlington for taking a stand for what is right. No one should be surprised at the crap that he pulled on signing day.

“A lot of bad dealings”??? No other recruit has ever said that of Richt’s staff except the Carver deal, which was appropriately apologized for.

Nance will never take a snap at UT. He was strictly used to lure Da’Rick. Nance is not a D1 QB. Plain and simple. He’ll hold the clipboard for four years, or end up transferring to a DII school and finish up his career. Only reason he played was b/c of his daddy. They had an all state QB who was there, but got ran off when the Nance’s came calling and proimising all sorts of things to the HS. Smart move on their part, follow Da’Rick, let him make a name for Nash and get him a full ride to college. Oh well. Best of luck…

Volfan22, why do you guys keep making this comparison? Marlon never committed to UT. Da’Rick was committed until SIGNING DAY.

There was no 2 for 1 where the daddy of the less talented 2nd player insisted on getting a package.

There is ZERO COMPARISON so stop being silly.

If he wanted to switch he should have done it sooner and it would have been less of a deal. CMR does not oversign in case of things happening like this. He respects people’s word and deals honestly with the kids. That’s why it hurts UGA more than some others (like Bama) who are having to get kids off the roster every year to make room.

BIG DEAL!!!

This is last years news – what else do you expect an 18 year old to say in defending his best friend>

Here is my take on exactly what happened:
– Da’rick Rogers gets a UGA schoalrship
– Nance (his best friend) does not – and is told by UGA they are not taking a QB in 2010 class
– Nash Nance gets an offer from Vandy!
– Rogers and Nance commit to UGA/Vandy!
– Kiffin calls on Mr. Nance (nash’s dad) – offers both so they can play together – and lure Da’Rick to Tennessee. Kiffin leaves – but Dooley is there to keep the recruiting going.
– UGA decides to get a QB – offers Mason out of Cobb couunty
– Nance family insulted that UGA did not offer NASH. Nance family brokers deal to Tennessee – sealed with a Truck to Da’Rick – whom the Nance family has generously kept an eye on as Da’Rick’s family situation is not the best.

– Both commit to Tennessee.

At the end of the day – both kids get to play together at a major D1 school – GOOD FOR THEM.
Also – the Nance family can not complain about integrity and loyalty of the people of Calhoun regarding their business and feelings – as both kids “committed” to UGA/VAndy – then left both schools high and dry!!! But this is their option – Good For them.

Now – what UGA and Vandy need to do – is go kick Tennessee’s butt. which neither school has done in the last 4 years!!!!

Regarding Nash as a QB prospect – the kid is smart, big, has a good good arm – but is considered somewhat of a project.

But here is the deal – he is 18 years old – when he is 20 years old – he may have developed into a QB that will play some games for Tennessee – you just never know!!!!

Plenty of cases where 5 star and 4 star do not pan out – while 2 star continues to mature and gets better!

what was the kid’s name that caught the HOBNAIL BOOT pass from David Greene?? Alebert Hayes (Haynes?). Was he not offered any D1 scholarships and played for Western KY – then transferred to UGA??

Went on and played for Pittsburg Steelers?

Not saying Nash is the next Peyton Manning – but he could develop into a very good QB!

I bet that new SUV and celly aren’t helping that decision any right now. How in the world would Nance know if UGA’s coaches were professional? They didn’t recruit him. He was like the kid in P.E. class that no one liked but felt bad for. Did that kid get treated sincerely? No, it was all fake. The over/under for this kid cracking the field is 0. For those who can’t read between the lines that means he will never see the field.

DawgFan- we don’t have a monopoly on immorality at football games. I’ve seen the same crap at LSU, USC, Clemson, Tech… a lot of it just depends on who you have the misfortune of sitting next to. My dad went to Tech (I am ashamed to admit that) and I saw the Tech freshmen storm the field and cut off the tail of the Clemson Tiger. Tech students were throwing liquor bottles and frozen fish at the Notre Dame bench. Most of the people who go to those games wish they could have attended the school they are such fans of. Much of the problem comes from the kids who were never held accountable for anything in their lives.

Is there some reason this story is being embellished here yet again ?
This morning on this site this story was here, and now here it is
again with essentially the same information reported, but now with
headlines flaming. Just because Nance (whom Georgia did NOT want)
says something negative about Georgia, that makes it news ? Sounds
like a lot of sour grapes to me. I’m sure that Rogers and Nance
both will have loads of fun at Tennessee, where just getting to a bowl
game will be a challenge. As for Tennessee fans criticizing us, it’s
just the pot calling the kettle black – I heard the classy booing of
Marlon Brown by Tennessee fans at last year’s game in Neyland….just
because the young man signed elsewhere (without any package deals, I
might add). So they’re ticked off…..so what ?

I think the reason Nance says UGA coaches are unprofessional is because UGA told him they wouldn’t take a QB, while later on they did take Mason as a QB. But Mason is not Nance, that’s the problem.

If UGA took Nance, he would say UGA coaches are the most professional bunch in the whole white world.

It doesn’t matter. UGA has been ranked top 5 in recruiting for years except for last years. UGA’s got talents. Go ahead and beat Tennessee is all you have to do shut the guy up.

Doesn’t really matter, I watched Nance play at Darlington and Calhoun. He is no D1 QB. He cannot throw a deep ball accurately. When you have 6 catches and 2 td’s for a total of 220 yards in one game by only one receiver, you sound like a heck of a QB and you can roll up some more stat sheet.

People with a lot of money think they can run their mouth when they please. To me, if you think you deserve to be a D1 QB, and Vandy pulls their scholarship offer, you don’t deserve D1. The day that Nance steps on the field in a UT uniform might be the saddest day in Vol history. He is terrible and couldn’t play D2 IMO. The reason he even respectable stats was because he threw hitch routes to Rogers that he took to the house. So a 3 yard throw turned into 50, 60, and 70 yard TDs.

The only bad dealings that DaRick Rodgers would have had with UGA coaches is committing to UGA in spring 2009 and being adamant that he was going to UGA and changing his mind on signing day or the day before. If I was UGA coaches I would have giving him hell to. UGA didn’t have time to recruit another WR to replace him on the same talent level. It showed Rodgers lack of integrity and character. And for the biggest idiot in this, Nash Nance, to even question CMR’s integrity, ethics and character more than Lane Kiffin shows how dumb and insignificant he is. Bottom line is that this article isn’t worth much of an effort. Carwell, you must have been pretty hard up to think this was new worthy. But, UGA fans are not going to sit by an let anyone insult any part of UGA without a comment or fight.

“the bad dealings with UGA coaches” could be that they told Da’flip that he had to keep his nose clean and put it in his books or he would have to spend a couple of years at Georgia Military College.

Nancy boy is probably mad because CMR and Bobo weren’t even interested in him as a preferred walk-on.

If I was a Vols fan… I would keep quite and hope that the UT football program will withstand the decisions made by Mike Hamilton over the last few years. Anyway you look at it… the Kiffin era was a debacle due to him running his mouth and leaving for Hollywood after one season. The Edwards, Jackson, Richardson incident was ugly. DD may end up as a good hire, but he was not at the top of many people’s list at the beginning of the coaching search… especially with his record at LA Tech. Jon Grunden would have turned some heads and contributed to the out of state recruiting push that UT needs on a consistent basis. Only time will tell…

It could be worse… Lane Kiffin and his recruiting hostesses could still be representing your program or you could have hired Booby Petrino. http://theangryt.com/?p=3363

Nance transferred from Darlington for his Sr. year. Calhoun’s previous QB made all-state as a juniour and decided to skip football and concentrate on baseball, believe his last name is Johnson.
Kiffin did not want him but Dooley was willing to take a package deal as Nance did not have his heart in the ‘Dores. Apparently there is a bond between Nance and Rogers.

Richt, apparently, was not willing to make the same deal. Rogers is the real deal, saw him play 5 times, and I can tell the goods. Nance is not near the overall QB that Jaybo Shaw is and he will be a benefit for Georgia Southern.

To me it would have been worth the two scholarship deal to get Rogers. He is better than Marlon Brown but not AJ Green. It would not be the first combo deal ever made at UGA. We got the Luckie trips (well worth all three scholies) in the day.

Got to be able to read a transcript, Jalen Fields could not get in and we could have used that for Nash and then got him back in 1 or 2. Sorry Jalen. Others gave up too, Mettie, etc.

Let me get this straight. We signed NONE of the Offensive Recruits in this State of Georgia 2010, but according to you, Nash Nance wasn’t any good because he was only offered scholarships by West Virginia, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, UCF Central Florida Knights, UT-C, Harvard and the Tennessee vols.

Friday June 4, 2010 we got a commitment from Wide Receiver Zach Witchett who was only offered scholarships by West Virginia, Toledo, Minnesota and Maryland.

DISNEYdawgs.com you make EXCUSES that hold no water. This is our latest commitment Zach Witchett. If this is the knock on Nash Nance, then isn’t it germane that if you measure our latest football recruit commitment by YOUR SAME MEASURE, that you have NOTHING TO SAY on the matter ?

You make a comment about our rival, Tennessee vols, but leave yourself open to the same comment being applied to our own most recent football recruit commitment. Don’t you ?

Which is it ? The vols’ recruit is no good because only West Virginia, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, UCF Central Florida Knights, UT-C, Harvard and the Tennessee vols offered Nash Nance a scholarship or UGA football recruit is no good because only Georgia, West Virginia, Toledo, Minnesota and Maryland offered Zach Witchett a scholarship ?

Gator Bob: ALBERT Haynes?? Really? Albert Hayes? You worry about FL and post on their blogs and leave UGA blogs to UGA people. And if you had ever seen Nance play, you would know that the words “Manning” and “Nash” never belong in the same sentence.

BuLLdawg, I think the reason that Nance is getting such a bad rap here is that he actually is no good. Really. He has a wealthy father and that’s about it. Ever seen him actually play? In person? Would you know a good QB if he had a bell around his neck? But I digress. He’s no D-1 QB. Period. I promise. Never would have seen the field at Vandy, either.

But actually, in your deal with the Disney guy, it is you who’s argument holds no water on comparing offers of Nance and Witchett. Nance never got an offer from TN until his dad packaged him with Da who ever.
On the other hand, Witchett had told everyone that would listen since he was 8 that he was going to be a Georgia Bulldog if he ever had the opportunity. It is/was common knowledge that other than the requisite propaganda sent to all recruits to gauge interest, there was no reason to seriously recruit Witchett.

As far as your spill about not getting any offensive players from the state in 2010, I think a little dose of common sense would help whatever it is that ails you. Unless it is someone like Witchett who just bleeds some schools colors and is going there no matter what, MOST recruits go where they feel they will get the most playing time, period. Georgia had them stacked up like cord wood on offense and those people didn’t see much PT (Playing Time)coming there way in the near future. HS all stars aren’t really all that interested in the other PT (Pine Time). And I don’t know, it’s just a guess, but it COULD be the reason Brandon Smith only had two passes last year was because he plays defense. Just sayin. But he did run several reverses. As far as Marlon is concerned, he just wasn’t good enough ye. to beat out the other receivers, plus all the talented TE’s compete for the ball. Plus Joe had a tendency to throw a good many to the wrong team. There’s just so many passes to go around. After the AJ and TK and then the second team get theirs, the TE’s get theirs, and then last year the other team got a lot, there just aren’t that many balls to go around. You say well if he’s not that good we shouldn’t have signed him? Were we fooled as far as his ability? If so, we were fooled in good company with every other major D-1 program who begged him to sign. I will also say that he won’t get much more this year. T King was as highly recruited as AJ and is only a notch below him. Chris Durham will be back this year and he’ll never get ahead of him. So things are crowded at WR in Athens. The TE’s will be even better and there are only so many passes to go around. Ad to that the fact that with the new QB Georgia probably won’t be throwing as many total passes unless this defense falls apart and they are behind all the time.

So, it’s actually your arguments that never hold water. But I do give you credit for trying to employ lots of creative spin on the facts you present. Ever consider looking into a job with the current White House administration?

The Nances are a proud, boastful family. It’s all about look at me! Watch me! Did you hear about Nash? The reason for the bitter feelings toward UGA is simple, they would not offer Nash a scholarship! The Nance family has always, always been HUGE UGA supporters. Mike tried to work out a deal with UGA to get Nash a scholarship. Da’rick was already committed to UGA, so Mike could not use him as leverage to get a deal for Nash. The conversation probably went something like this, “Why would we offer Nash a scholarship when we already have Rogers and Nash would never see the field?” Obviously, Tennessee was more than willing to negotiate. Does anyone really think Nance would have gotten a scholarship to Tennessee without Da’rick’s commitment? I seriously doubt it. It was a stretch to believe that Nash could play quarterback at Vanderbilt. I don’t blame Nash for wanting to go to UT, it just doesn’t smell right. Someone please discuss this with me. GO VOLS!!!

I didn’t notice the mention of an excuse for the UGA recent SEC record in anything I wrote. Did you? Are you confused? Up too late in your moms basement? The only excuse I would give for a record that is not as good as you would like is that maybe the players we get aren’t as good as the players the other team has. It’s either that or maybe its because at times, the teams UGA play score more points than they do. It could be that. Just sayin.

This Nash kid was a pretty good high school qb, but he didn’t merit a scholly offer from UT or UGA. Vandy was a stretch for him, as I know Vandy recruits/signs better. Everyone knows why UT offered him.

Two things I’m certain of:
1. Considering what’s happened at the qb position at UGA since spring practice ended, I’m relieved that we offered Mason, and an “add on” qb recruit like Nash isn’t sitting there as our 3rd scholly qb.
2. The most attention Nash will ever receive has come through this recruiting process b/c of his star teammate, and of course he can make the papers by mentioning UGA. That’s it. He now has a free education and can one day say he “played” in the SEC. UT will recruit like made to make sure they are never ever down to having to put Nash in the game.

You do not understand how your program is the joke of D-1 football. Everyone from east to west laughs about the Bulldog program, because is the most underachieving program since D-1 began.

1 title in 117 years and all you can talk about is how tough the SEC is. Well sooner or later you have to quit making excuses, and step up. You can only tell your boss the dog ate your keys for so long.

Your program is tanked from the AD down. Your recruiters are not getting it done, and CMR is not even close. You had 10 years to win a title and could not get it done. You get drilled year after year by Florida, but everyone just keeps writing those booster checks and loves CMR.

Well, Meyer, Miles and Saban all love CMR also and would like to extend his contract. UGA is becoming the Vandy of the SEC, so everyone loves an easy win on Saturday in Athens.

ATTENTION HOLIER THAN THOU TENNESSEE FOLKS. Next time you want to cast stones at Georgia folks about blog posts, think back to the blog posts left by Tennessee folks when Marlon Brown switched to UGA. Glass houses and all that.

I have no problems with Da’Rick Rogers switching to Tennessee. He was within the rules and it was his choice. I have no problem with Tennessee offering for Nance in order to get Rogers. That was within the rules. I DO have a problem with the kid’s implication about UGA coaches and their integrity. If the kid has an issue with how UGA recruited or did not recruit him and believes that UGA violated any NCAA rules then he needs to spell it out and let UGA answer the charges. If not, just taking pot shots at men’s careers for whatever reason is NOT classy and it’s damn sure not “professional” for someone looking for respect as a college level player and as a person.

John, the difference between Marlon Brown and Mr. Rogers is that Brown did not commit to Tn and then de-committ the day before signing day. I have no problem with an 18 year old changing his mind, but to string UGA along for so long and then changing is like jilting them at the alter. A lot of wide receiver recruits chose to go elswhere because they thought they’d be behind Rogers.It is not a coincidence that UGA has already signed 3 highly rated WR this year.

One more thing. Nash Nance is trying to help Derek Dooley recruit Georgia by bad-mouthing the coaching staff. Problem is, UT is so far behind in this State now that their Cadillac coach Kiffin has left that it will take years to rebuild. Richt has stuck a 20-foot fence at the border that is doing wonders keeping UT away from the top players coming out in February. I wish Derek all the best, but he has a tremendous uphill battle ahead of him competing with Meyer, Saban, Richt, Spurrier, Petrino, etc. It is going to be very tough to succeed up there. Da’Rick on the other hand is very smart to keep his mouth shut. He is probably going to receive some blind-side hits when he faces the Dawgs..

CalhounInsider:

Yeah, right. I believe that about as much as I believe that Lane Kiffin is a man of his word.

This was all about the Nances, and a no-talent little rich boy who used his talented friend to get a scholarship that he didn’t deserve. Da’Rick got a vehicle for his trouble from “Daddy” Nance, the Vols got a five star WR recruit (one who went AWOL for a few hours during his U.Ga. recruiting trip, FWIW), and now the Nances feel the need to engage in a little negative recruiting to mitigate the angst generated in their former home state by their no-class ego trip.

Why would Da’Rick want to go to Georgia? Well, if he valued education, it might be because Georgia is a better academic school than Tennessee–but that’s not a factor here. Or if he wanted to play for a football team that actually had a snowball’s chance of having a winning season the next few years, that might be another reason. Or maybe he might want to become a star player for his home state team, a team that has actually sent receivers to the NFL in recent memory, instead of being vilified for being a turncoat. But these issues aren’t relevant with Da’Rick.

The car is relevant.

The Nance family connection is relevant.

And if head-to-head wins are really a factor in this kid’s decision-making (which I doubt), then he’ll have his own little “Jabari moment” this fall. And another one in 2011. And so on.

Enjoy Knoxville, gentlemen. Hope that high school connection works out for ya.

I’ve seen this happen to folks who have signed with UT and then change their minds at the last minute. I think it’s related 2 issues: lack of integrity and ego (ie.they aren’t getting enough attention from the school they originally sign with and go with a newcomer who is showering them with attention to convince them to renig on their promises). I’d rather Dooley not play these type of games and I wish that one day these 18 year old will learn that their “word” should mean something.
