Samm: Don’t blame A J and the Greenwave players for a referees decision. This has happened many times in sports, even in the pros. While it is unfortuate for the losing team, unless more stringent rules are in place, using current technology, these things will happen. It is not fair to denigrate Green and his teammates because of your lack of logic.

I watched A J through 4 years of HS football and I believe he has the potential to be one of the best receivers in college football. He will also play on Sundays if he stays healthy. My wife has never been a football fan, but she would go to the Sumemrville games to see A J play. she still will watch Georgia just to see A J.

For the record: the 75-FOOTER that WON the game for spartanburg was legit. iv seen that replay a million times and the ball was clearly out of his hand before the light on the backboard came on. Z-MAN was the star of that game definitely not green. and all the summerville players new the basket was good too bc they were all crying. and the ref that waved it off WASNT EVEN WATCHING!!! you can see it on the replay. that was the most bs call iv ever seen in high school basketball. Those refs hate Coach Lowe (Spartanburg Coach)who btw has won 600 games in his tenure there. he is amazing!!! Go VIKINGS! and green dont pretend you actually won that game

Mark, no problem.

Simply put, I’ve been in the business 25 years and he’s the best high school athlete I’ve ever seen.

I saw the third game of his high school career and he had something like 10 catches for 250 yards. My thought was: This is what a future first-round NFL pick looks like when he’s a freshman.

Mark, can you e-mail me sometime. There was something interesting in the UGA press guide about A.J. when he was a freshman, and it deals with his basketball career at Summerville

Thanks much, Mr. Bowman. Hope you didn’t mind me borrowing your story.

Mark, Phil Bowman of The Post and Courier, here. I covered A.J. Green in high school and football and as high school athletes I’ve seen in person, A.J. is probably in the top three. The others are Cris Carter and Robert Smith, both of Minnesota Vikings fame. It should be noted that A.J. never picked up a basketball any time other than basketball season. If he had wanted to, he could have played at North Carolina, he was that good

I could not get into Ga. Tech, and went to Southern Tech instead. Nonetheless, I like to pretend like I am smart and post on every other football blog.

Every football blog but LSU….

Just wait until Lou Holtz gets elected to Congress, then see how often we have to read his witticism.
