Who will be Dogs’ true freshman impact players?

Will true freshman Malcolm Mitchell make an impact at wide receiver? (Chip Towers / AJC)

Will true freshman Malcolm Mitchell make an impact at wide receiver? (Chip Towers / AJC)

ESPN.com’s Edward Aschoff took a look at true freshmen who could have an impact on their teams this fall, and for the Georgia Bulldogs he singled out running back Isaiah Crowell (no kidding!) and wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell.

Crowell, he says, “arrives in Athens with a ton of hype. Georgia has yet to find its feature back and Crowell has all the talent to be that player. Some think he could start by the midpoint of the season.”

Mitchell, he notes, “played both sides of the ball in high school, but Georgia’s staff really likes what he could do at receiver. He’s a tremendous athlete and will get a chance to earn playing time for the fall, especially with some unproven receivers already on Georgia’s roster.”

Crowell and Mitchell are probably the safest bets among the true freshmen to have a big impact, but who else from their class do you see getting a chance at considerable playing time?

Could Damian Swann or Nick Marshall enter the picture at the unsettled safety spot? Marshall, of course, already has been mentioned as also getting possible spot duty on offense. What about the Rev. Ray Drew at outside linebacker? Can Georgia keep him off the field? And considering how thin the Dogs are on the OL, might Zach DeBell or Watts Dantzler have a shot at making an impact?

(Sorry, originally had the injured Xzavier Ward listed there when I meant DeBell.)

Feel free to share your thoughts on Georgia’s true freshmen.

GETTING READY FOR GAME DAY

If you’re not sure yet where you’re going to park this season, you need to know that UGA’s Parking Services department will offer season parking spots in its Athens decks starting July 11 on a first come, first served basis. Up for grabs will be parking permits in four locations on campus: the North Campus, Carlton Street, Performing Arts Center and South Campus parking decks. South deck permits are limited to four per customer. The Hull Street deck is not available this year. The price is $120 for all six home games, plus a shipping and handling charge. Permits will be sold online at gameday.uga.edu (click in the parking tab).

JACK DAVIS PRINTS

Prints by UGA alum Jack Davis are going to be auctioned in Statham. (University of Georgia)

Prints by UGA alum Jack Davis are going to be auctioned in Statham. (University of Georgia)

An auction of Georgia Bulldogs prints by famed illustrator Jack Davis is set for 1 p.m. Sunday at Breffle Auction Co. at 1906 Railroad Street in Statham, just outside Athens. The Athens Banner-Herald reports the prints are part of the estate auction of a former publisher who worked with Davis, a UGA alum known for his great Mad Magazine covers. John Breffle estimates 1,000 prints will be available, with 15 to 20 different selections of Davis’ work, and some are autographed by Davis. Stacks of the prints (about 10 to 15 per stack) will be auctioned and Breffle expects them to go for between $200 and $300. Nothing dresses up a Bulldog room like an original Jack Davis!

So what’s your point SGD88? We are Dawgfans too and forgive us if out tails aren’t wagging like yours about wins over the Yellow Jackets. We are supposed to beat Tech, just like we beat up on S.C., KY. and Vandy traditionally. It’s an insult to the SEC you put Tech in the same sentence with UF, Auburn and even a down Tennessee.Dodd wrecked Tech when they ran from the SEC and for that they lost enternal credibility by running to the weaker ACC. Dodd even admitted it was a colossal blunder to leave the SEC and tried to conspire with Bama’s Bear to get back in in the mid 70s. So what it’s all history now. Anyway, while you and LOZZO are pondering other meaningless and repetitious thoughts to post, answer this meaningful question. It’s been posed to you before and you conveniently avoided it: Just how many more losses to UF must UGa endure before you think a head coaching change should be made ? How long must the b/s roll on…..remember we are 3-18 and counting in the past 21years and 2-8 the past ten years. Please try to give the POWER-Aid Congregation a straight answer this time. We’re waiting, take your time.Thanks. GO Dawgs !! WOOF !!

Still waiting on that answer SGD88. Hey Rocket Science help him and Chazza out. Getting back on point I don’t see any of the true freshmen making any impact this season outside of JJ, who isn’t a true freshman. Sounds like desperation is in the air at UGa. I don’t see this questions posed of true freshmen at FSU, Miami, or even Texas. So it’s a bad sign to have to rush true freshmen to play right away. Anyway, a lot of hype has surrounded IC at running back. That logical Dawgfans will be exposed as a Jedi mind trick directed at us Dawgs who want to see the run. Unfortunately IC won’t have much immediate impact for two reasons:1) He has a lot to learn as he transitions to college ball from high school and 2) the pass first philosophy of the offensive staff won’t allow that many touches if he can’t learn how to pass block as to not give away the schemes and plays.Then we’ll be told he couldn’t play as much because of poor pass protection on his part. IC will be lucky to get 300-400 yards rushing with Richt/Bobo playcalling. IC will not be properly utilized and will be rendered irrelevant and ineffective as Caleb King will get the ball on the many third and long passing situations that will arise. WR Malcolm Mitchell may get some opportunities to catch balls if he can learn to breakoff his routes properly to comeback to the ball due to Adam Murrays’ weak arm. M&M will have to be able to turn those 5 yard dump passes upfield to make big plays. If he is good out of making something out of nothing or getting open catching short td passes out of goal line situations he might have a better chance than IC to be an impact player on offense. But it maybe asking too much for M&M to beat out the crowd vying for that primary WR spot this year. His talent will have to carry him to the heights of star WR, because we already know the coaching won’t. Ditto for the offensive line and the 4 or 5 incoming lineman. When you have spotty coaching sometimes the talent can cover it up and succeed. But don’t count on that at UGa, because they tend to squander talent more than not these days. QB Christian LeMay pound for pound may be the best all-around talent at the position. But he will go the way of DJ Shockley if the current offensive staff manages to save their jobs and we may see him in 2013 or 2014 if he doesn’t leave first. On defense it’s going to be all about John Jenkins at DT. Can he be for the Dawgs what T.Cody was for Bama? I certainly hope so. I’ve seen Ray Drew play in person at Thomas Co.Central and he is a very impressive and imposing specimen at LB that may need time to be developed correctly and gain more weight to flourish in the position. So there you have it. For all the Dream team hype less than three of those fellas will even get a serious look to contribute significantly right away, with the exception of Jenkins who will immediately see starting time at NT. Remember this staff places players in position to fit the scheme not the other way around. With this mentality in place Cam Newton is a tight end in this offense, as would the legendary Herschel Walker,( if he was an incoming freshman) split time or play both ways at TE and LB. (Neither one would sign at UGa & Newton rightfully avoided this regime to attend UF initially before finding gridiron glory at AU). There’s a reason why UGa will never win a National Championship with the current philosophy in place.

SGD88: Again you have ran from the direct question. How many times must UGa lose to UF before a coaching change should be made ?

Donnan went 2-3 versus Tech and as I remember two of his losses were nailbiters which UGa should have prevailed in. I recently watched the 1999 game UGa lost 51-48 in overtime. That was a loss attributed to poor ole Jasper Sanks who couldv’e put Tech away if he hadn’t fumbled on that attempt to score. I personally felt Donnan deserved another year because he knew what Dawgfans expected : a dominating ground attack. But unfortunately for him Sanks was a bust after being hyped as the next Hershel and it certainly didn’t help Donnan any that he went 1-4 versus some of Spurriers’ best UF teams. Still at .250 his winning percentage is better than CMR’s .200 versus UF. Donnan was 40-19 (.678) overall at UGa and was just about to turn the tide after going 10-2, 9-3, 8-4, and 8-4 in his last four years. Yeah he went 8-4 one year too many, but I’ll take 8-4 over 6-7 anytime. You may be right in this instance and Donnan had to at least beat Tech to hold on after losing ugly to UF on more than one ocassion. Okay SDG88 at last I see your point. You are a DGD to remind me of the significance of the Tech game as it lead to Donnan’s ouster. And it takes a DGD to admit the oversight. GO DAWGS!! TO HELL WITH TECH !!

@Dont get it….The last 20 years? The last 10(Richt) have been FAR better than the 10 before that. No SEC Championships since 1982. No SEC Championship games. Richt:2 SEC Championships another trip to the title game. In the 17 years before Richt…..ZILCH! He WILL win some more unlike some “the grass look greener”coach. Who you gonna get Saban? Miles? Stoops? Everybody else is NO better or they CHEAT! Mack Brown is too old and the others are unproven! So to you and ALL you Richt haters…YOU BETTER BE DAMN GLAD HE IS UGA’S COACH! I SURE AM. HES BETTER THAN DOOLEY! 30 YEARS WITH RICHT. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN NEXT 5! MURRAY AND CROWELL AND DREW.

WHAT I want to know is what Redshirt Freshmen and Sophomores are going to have an impact!! Crowell will play significantly…duh and the others may get some playing time but not much unless there are injuries or a weak opponent or they are something VERY special. This is not High School but the toughest conference in the nation. Maybe Drew and Mitchell get some playing time, but the rest? Not unless there is a HUGE hole….IMO

RICHT DID NOT START OUT AT A LITTLE WAC SCHOOL OR SOMETHING, HE STARTED AD A FIRST TIME HEAD COACH IN THE SEC BABY AND HAS DONE GREAT. Cant win 10 EVERY year and hey guess what? EVERY COACH has seasons where they lose more than they win, usually a few! GET OVER IT AND GROW SOME BALLS AND PERSEVERENCE. This is the time to HUNKER DOWN not run over the team or coach with the bus. Richt is STILL learning, he has a HUGE upside, he WILL get the job DONE! Damn you people are dumb!

Columbus,

You are typing to blind eyes for the most part on these blogs. People find it easier to complain here, and half the time they can’t support it with true facts. They expect to be in the top 5 each year, and whine because another school does better than they do. They complain if CMR doesn’t get this or that recruit and then when he gets them, they complain, for another reason. No matter how many times you type, that UGA has a limited amount of recruits, most people on these blogs expect UGA to offer to a 1000 people. They even complain if the man takes ten days off to get away and then ues it for his own personal reasons, like they should be able to tell him how to spend his spare time. If UGA were to win the SEC East it would not be good enough, since he has to win it all every year to satisfy this lot. Considering the holes UGA has to fill and the experience level of the players, they should be satisifed with a 9 win season, but there will still be a lot of complaints.

@Real Dawgs…

You said:

“The POWER-aiders will get what they want one way or the other.”

I am sorry I didn’t realize I was dealing with a 6 year old. Are you a Power Ranger or a Decepticon? Put down your Hershell Walker doll, and take a break from whatever fantasy you are having about being in charge of a football program and listen up. Mark Richt is not my coach. None of us play on the team here. We pull for a bunch of college students to do well and make well on their dreams. We pull for our favorite team and enjoy the bragging rights when they are successful. Mark Richt is not my friend. I have never met the man. I don’t know the inner workings of the athletics department or recruiting. I simply don’t have any basis (except things that anonymous people who know wives of former coaches or has a son who played on a team that lost to the team of a recruit) to make a judgement about some of the things you crack smokers dream up. I don’t know McGarrity or President Adams. I am not privy to their decisions or ideas. I don’t donate huge sums of money to the school. I have no relationship or pull to influence the head coach in any way. If you do, Power Ranger, then do your damndest.

I sincerely hope that the rumors about Crowell not showing up for workouts aren’t true. Apparently, he had a bit of a temper tantrum at the end of his high school season. On the other hand, I hear rumors that he was working until he puked in those workouts. Who the heck knows? Certain folks are condemning the kid before he is even attended a Fall camp much less run the ball in a game.

What I know about crowell: Everyone including Bama wanted him to come play. His high school stats are impressive. He looks elusive, strong and fast in the videos. I suspect that he will not be able to run over guys like he did in high school. Honestly, I think King is going to step up. I am interested to see what Malcome does.

I think Ray Drew is going to be special. Depending on what goes down with Jarvis, he could see playing time.

Any of the guys at receiver could have an impact. I don’t think receiver is a big weakness even with AJ taking off. There are some guys that can make plays there, but there is room for a standout freshman to impact the position. There are lots of speedsters on the team.

I think Christian Lemay will make the most impact. He’s the best leader on the team, and shows great composure under pressure, and has no problem beating teams that have formerly been tough to beat (like Florida). Lemay beat a team as a Sr. QB who hadn’t lost at home in years. He’s the only leader on the team, besides Drew.

chazzo

July 1st, 2011
9:11 am

Joe, I was kind of scratching my head about that one, also. There seem to be a bunch of capable LBs and not so many at Safety. Maybe the Ogletree just stands to be a superior LB. Maybe Rambo and hitman have got the game plan down, and the coaches have a lot of faith in Shawn Williams at the other Safety spot. Maybe Deas shows promise. Or maybe there is a new guy coming in that stands to impress.

My guess is that the D is focusing on pressuring the QB and stopping the run (or at least being more affective at stopping the run particularly against SC and Bama). Getting the big man in the middle and loading up on linebackers would certainly seem to indicate that. But, then again you have to be able to depend on the backfield having things covered to do it. File it in the we’ll see category.

You all can trash Richt all you want for not going for it on fourth down vs UCF but do not forget Donnan went for it in FG distance vs GT and Sanks had a fumble…The coach made the calls. Get off Sanks. Sure win and a dumb call by Donnan.

Columbus is an Idiot. You defeat your own argument. “Where is Donnan now”? well he’s not caoching because he couldnt win. exactly our point about where Richt should be. Look we all know Richt had some great years. But, recent history shows most coachess dont get things turned around once they start to slide. Back in the 60’s, 70’s 80’s this was not true but it seems to be true now.

Chazzo, What is the real deal with Samuel. He is so much younger at this stage. Why have they not coached him into a starting position. To waste someone with his character to go with Ealey and bench him as they did a few years ago is mind boggling. How old is he now? 20. He has been in Athens since he was 16. A redshirt Junior at 20 and they have not found him a starting place. Makes you wonder why they used him as much as they did as a Freshman. That is the biggest waste of talent I have witnessed at UGA.

Regarding Donan and Power Aid statements:

Donnan didn’t get fired because he went 8-4 two seasons in a row. He got fired because he promised a National Championship and lost to every rival on the schedule. He got fired because he hitched his wagon to a coke addict who was throwing games. He got fired because he went 2-3 against Tech and couldn’t win the SEC championship.

I agree that Jax is a big ugly elephant in the room. I will say, though, that no other UGA coach faced did any better against Spurrier, and no other UGA coached faced a UF team with Tebow. I am not defending Richt’s record or trying to make excuses. I don’t think you fire a coach over one his record against one team that happened to be the best team in the nation for a few of those years, especially when the coach has shown a great deal of success over previous coaches.

Yes Bama fires guys that don’t beat AU. Bama/AU fans are just plain stupid about that game. But let’s have a look, keeping in mind that those programs are always, ALWAYS going to have great talent. You forget about the DuBose-Franchione-Shula era (1997–2006). That was nine years of sucking after Stallings pulled off an NC. Before Stallings’ NC in 92 (the first since Bear shared one in 79), they ran off Perkins and then Curry (after Curry went undefeated). Finally that got Saban. It was a great move on their part.

Okay. I think Richt will eventually win an NC. I think he will win the SEC several more times. I would rather see him have the opportunity to try to make that happen that than to suck for ten years until UGA finds the right guy.

Don’t bring up Meyer and Chizick. They are exceptions to the rule. Plus, Meyer had Tebow, and Chizick had Newton. Anybody can win those guys.

With the questions along the offesive line I cant see a skill position being an impact. I think it will be on defensive side where the dawgs will see biggest impact.

Good luck to the dawgs.

Bill have you ever thought about doing stories about players Crowell played againt who when on to be freshmen impac players last year at their respective schools?

chazzo

July 1st, 2011
11:35 am

Bama Mike: You make a good point. I too think it is going to be the D that impresses this year, but I don’t think the offense is a bust. While the o-line might not be deep, they are capable. A lot will depend on what happens in the weight room this summer. You are also right that it is going to be an interesting season.

DR B: I just don’t know about LeMay being the impact guy. Judging by the little bit I saw of him in Spring he has great physical attributes. Also some folks on the thread attest to his leadership abilities. I think that you (and others) underestimate Murray. An entire season in the trenches and knowing the playbook backwards and forwards go along way in deciding the starter. I kind of hope to see LeMay redshirt. Let him have two full years of being the man (unlike Shockley only having one). You may be right, though. He could win the position outright.

DrBaller

We’ve seen what Murray can do, beat lousy teams like Idaho St, Louisiana Lafayette, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Tech & Tenn. Big whoop. Murray also lost to every winning team he has ever played at Georgia including Auburn, SC, MSU, Florida, UCF, Ark, and even figured out a way to lose to one of the worst pass defenses in the nation, lowly Colorado.

It’s time.

For Lemay.

Reg

If I only had 2 freshman guys to go with with the right mental game to beat Florida, I’d go with Ray Drew & Christian Lemay, both standout on a team that has no leaders. Lemay’s intangibles, and Drew’s are off the charts compared to their position competition. No way Lemay or Drew would EVER lose to Florida if they’re the 2 freshman starters.

chazzo

July 1st, 2011
12:17 pm

I appreciate LeMay’s potential. I am very excited about his future. I just don’t think it would be a good idea to break in a new QB for the third straight year in a row. I still think that you underestimate Murray. Wins and Losses are team efforts. A Def. that couldn’t stop SC. Running backs that coughed up opportunities. An o-line that gave up half way through the third quarter.

As I said before, you may be right. Maybe LeMay beats out Murray and the team rallies around him. I don’t see it, but you could be right.

Instead of tanking for the third year in a row while breaking in a new QB, why not redshirt LeMay. Let him split time next season or win it outright. Then he has his Junior and Senior years as the uncontested starter unless Richt recruits another 5 star QB. Don’t get me wrong. The little bit I have seen of LeMay tells me he is an NFL quality guy. I just don’t think another QB controversy and breaking in a new QB with no college game experience is the prudent way to go this season.

I do think Richt will start Murray. Why? Well, not because of Murray’s leadership, he did go 0-6 against winning teams. Just because Richt’s loyal, and likes ot keep things the same. Remember when Joe Cox kept starting after he threw all those interceptions. Now, if Murray does lose the first couple, extending his record against winning teams to 0-8, sure, Richt makes a change, he’ll have to in order to try and save his job. That’s when either Hutson Mason or Christian Lemay get their chance, or maybe both. I do think it will be a 9 win season, but I don’t know who will end up as QB, my bet is it will not be Aaron Murray, based on how’s he’s performed against winning teams. Murray tends to choke. So, Lemay might get the call.

Real Dawgs Drink Power Aid,

We have the people in place to get the job done, without having to rely on Freshmen to make th team succssful. No coach isgoing to expect a freshn to usually chge the direction of the team, a soon as he arrives. There just aren’t that many Lattimores aropund. If this team, plays with a sense of urgency and plays as a team, I think the team can realalistically win 9-10 games. Sure the O line is thin, but if some of the young guys step up their learning curve, we ca survive that. The offense is going to have toplay smart and the plays can’t always call for the O line to hold theline of scrimmage all of the tme. Our defense should be good enough to hold a lot of teams in place and if we can be methodical and control with the offense some what, UGA can be successful.
We just have to wait and see how the games go. The games are played on the field and I chose to be positive instead of already saying that UGA is no good or will lose the majority of the games.

@ chazzo – If anybody can win with Tebow or Newton then why didnt Richt recruit them – OK maybe we didnt waant to recruit Newton for obvious reasons but you get my point. You act as if there were GIVEN those athletes when in fact they had the foresight to recruit them. Also when you fire a HC it doesnt mean you suck for “10″ years. Spurrier won his first of a gazillion SEC championships his SECOND year. Meyer won 2NC in five years. A good AD finds the right guy quickly. But if that AD doesnt have the pressure from the fans or the alumn, then it never gets done. After reading all of the excuses and just shear denile from so called UGA fans, I have to wonder if you people have the WILL to win. I promise you it begins with getting rid of Richt.

I know Nick Marshall. Absolute stud on the field. Wild, thug monkey off the field. dont expect him to even suit up with his attitude. But yes his ability as an athlete is unreal. I hope he and Crowell dont room together. that could be trouble.

Richt needs to beat Florida this year and get to at least a NYD bowl. Anything less is unacceptable, and he needs to go if he cannot make it happen. Enough is enough! We’ve become the Ole Miss of the East when we should be like Bama every year. Put Nick Saban at UGA, and they would win a NC in 2-3 years.

Dawg tired, i agree with you 100%. But the sad thing is that if Richt goes 8-4 Adams will make McGarity keep him and give him a contract extention. That is the sad state that UGA’s program has become and it all starts with Adams. He isn’t concerned about winning championships, and if you heard his comments at the SEC meetings, he said he expects UGA to have a winning season every year, not, he expects UGA to compete for championships every year. THere in lies the problem with UGA, and sadly it’s fan base feels the same way Adams feels. Just have a winning season and play Floriday close, and beat Ga.Tech, and the season has been a success. Pitiful, but that’s the way it is. If Adams cared more about winning championships, and demanding excelllence, Richt would have been fired after last year, but he cares much more about raising money than he does about winning. Nothing will change if Richt goes 8-4 and beats Tech, and UGA fans will get what they want, a mediocre coach running a mediocre program. The nightmare will continue in Athens.
