Bulldog Bites: Washaun Ealey, receivers, UGA outlook
The Georgia High School Football Daily e-mail newsletter, cofounded by one of my former coworkers, Chip Saye, reports that running back Washaun Ealey passed a summer course at Emanuel County Institute last week, finishing his academic requirements to enroll at UGA. “He’s in,” ECI coach Milan Turner told GHSF Daily. You can contact the newsletter at ghsfdaily@bellsouth.net.
Bulldogs Blog’s David Hale had an interesting talk with senior Michael Moore about the returning players and incoming freshmen in Georgia’s receiving corps, including his own chances when opponents double-team A.J. Green. Asked what freshman tight end/receiver hybrid Orson Charles brings to the table, Moore says: “He’s a high motor guy. He always wants to know what to do. He wants to learn more, he runs well, he catches the ball well. I think he’s a better fit for tight end only because it will give him a better advantage. You can flex him out and he’s going to beat up a DB, but he’s better suited for tight end. He looks good.”
While on the subject of receivers, for a Bama fan spin on our discussion last week about how Julio Jones has managed to out-hype A.J., you can check out the RollBamaRoll blog. While taking a few shots at my “homerish” viewpoint (hey, it’s a UGA fan blog in case you hadn’t noticed), blogger “Todd” argues that Julio stole the spotlight because he was a higher profile recruit to start with, he was a bigger overall part of Bama’s offense last year (while Georgia also had MoMass, Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno), the Tide had a better season than Georgia (can’t argue with that) and there’s more uncertainty in 2009 about Georgia’s offense. All valid points, but I think the fact that he’s part of a program that’s a traditional media favorite plays into it, too.
ESPN.com’s SEC blogger, Chris Low, devotes today’s installment of his Hope and Concern series to Georgia. Chief hope: the “depth, experience and versatility” of the offensive line. Biggest reason for concern: “Killer schedule.”

More uncertainty for UGA’s offense? IMO no UGA should have a much better OL, the QB is a 5th year Sr with starting experience. Moore is solid, AJ is very good, the RBs are not Moreno quality but solid. Bama has a new QB who I admit is heavily hyped and has looked good, a replacing starter OL and LT at that, and Coffee is gone. The argument could be made for either team, IMO UGA is in better shape.

The dawgs are gonna have a mammoth season. The defense will be greatly improved and the offense will be capable of either quick strikes or smash mouth football. I predict a 2 loss season, AND TECH IS NOT ONE OF THEM!

Todd your a moron. Julio was ranked #1 coming out of HS. AJ was #2 ( not that much of ahigher profile recruit huh?); AJ has 56 catches for 963 ; Julio has 58 for 924. So despite competing with Mohammed Massaquoi; Knowshon and Stafford, he still exceeded Julio who was supposedly a bigger part of the Bama offense? I would say they hande dit to us, but they certainly can’t say they had a better season. Utah handed it to you in the Sugar Bowl. UTAH!!

Maddawg55, Your an idiot. How can you say Ealey has no heart when his ankles were in terrible shape not to mention his back. He still had 3 TD’s in the game with 90yds rushing. Heart is what had him in there playing. He would not miss a game. Ask Clinch and Wilcox from the year before about a healthy Ealey. Go to youtube and type in his name and watch the him. then decide if he has heart.

Tech will lose eight(8)games this season.These games are sure losses for the bugs:
Clemson
Miami
N. Carolina
Florida St.
Vanderbilt
Wake Forest
Virginia Tech
Georgia
The bug fans will crawl back into the shadows where they have resided most of thier life. They have never.. and never will…. fully support thier program as shown by thier consistent failure to sell out their home games in a cracker box stadium.Tech did not sell out any home games last year. Any team that has to have rings made to commemorate a three point win definitely doesn’t know what it takes to be a solid respected program that consistantly wins.Have fun now bug fans cause when the season begins your gonna be so disappointed you won’t know where to turn. The Truth has spoken!

Tech fans should enjoy 45-42. The series had lost the true hate factor. Now that UGA has been reminded that tech still fields a team, that will not happen again for another 7 years.
Welcome Washaun!! Stay away from Caleb so that you will stay hungry for results instead of resting on what was accomplished in High School.
Either way, Samuel will be the featured back.
