Alec Ogletree, Georgia’s No. 1 prospect, picks UGA with brother’s blessing
Alec Ogletree, the state's No. 1 prospect, picked UGA over Miami, among 50+ scholarship offers (AJC)
Newnan safety Alec Ogletree, who is ranked as the state’s No. 1 prospect by Scout, hopes to play college football with his brother.
However, that remains to be seen, as Alec made a surprising commitment to Georgia over more than 50 scholarship offers this weekend. His twin, Zander Ogletree, has an offer from Florida State and is under consideration from Georgia.
“We want to play together,” Alec told the AJC. “Georgia said they are serious about [Zander] and they might offer after they get to evaluate him later this summer at camp.
“If it doesn’t work out, that’s OK. He’s got other options, too. I just felt Georgia was the right place for me, and I didn’t see any reason to wait any longer.”
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Ogletree is ranked as the nation’s second-best safety by Scout. He is the most celebrated commitment of Georgia’s 2010 recruiting class, which already has 11 early pledges. The Bulldogs are expected to sign 18 players in February and are quickly filling up their scholarship slots after a slow start.
Georgia is still in solid contention for many of the state’s top rising seniors, including Douglass defensive end Garrison Smith, M.L. King tailback Mack Brown, and Jackson linebacker Neiron Ball.
With Ogletree, Georgia edged out his longtime favorite, Miami. “I got to visit both campuses to see what they are like. I really liked Georgia better. The coaching staff made me feel like I was at home.”
Zander, a 5-9, 205-pound linebacker, said he was proud of his brother. “I think it’s cool he picked Georgia. I wish the best for him. Maybe I’ll get to play with him at Georgia, maybe I won’t. Whatever happens, I’m sure it all will work out for the best.”

Great! Way to go UGA! Bring in good talent only for Martinez to completely ruin him! Don’t expect to exploit Ogletree for his maximum potential. Kid should have went to Florida where they actually know how to use talent.

It’s about time. The number 1 kid in state commits and then we have a serious delay. Hmmmmmmm. Welcome to the DAWG family Alec. For the Dawg fans, let me encourage all to focus on this huge commitment and not all the useless gossip and pathetic bloggers. We just got a commitment from a kid that is the prototype strong safety. 6′3 215 with range and bone crushing hits. Oh he said no to GT. This kid is smart and talented. Go DAWGS. For all the GT and Gator fans that will post pointless comments about UGA and this kid, I say to get a clue and focus on your team. Ask yourself why you are reading UGA blogs.

I’d say there’s a 50-50 chance that UGA will offer Zander. It all depends on how he performs at UGA’s summer camp, and what some other prospects that UGA has offered decide to do, such as N. Ball, etc. Zander at 5-9 or 5-10 projects to play OLB or safety in college. If you ask the folks in the Newnan, they say he’s a better “player” than his brother, who is obviously a better “prospect.” Then again, FSU is already impressed enough with Zander and I’m sure other big-time D1 schools will offer sooner or later, if not UGA.

GoTech610, why are you reading and posting on UGA blogs? If you are happy with GT, find a GT blog. Useless trash talking serves no purpose. I can’t understant why you are so focused on UGA. I never read GT blogs. I have no interest in what GT is doing until they play UGA. If you truly feel GT is superior why are you trying to point out the flaws of a lesser (your perception) team? It makes no sense. You guys act like you won the lottery last season. Is beating UGA that big of a deal to you? Beating GT is a given in Athens. The truth is that UGA’s team was playing with an unusual number of serious injuries but that is old news. The present news is that we are rocking in recruiting. Go Dawgs.

Too bad this talent will go wasted. UGAY could recruit every top-talent in the nation, and still come closer to winning a national title than Agnes Scott.
Anyone who chooses this program must understand they are entering an overrated and under-coached program.
If it is not too late, look at higher quality programs such as UF, Southern Cal, Texas or LSU.

With that said i dont know that he is best player in state but then agian who knows havent seen everyone play but he is a good one. I will follow that up with let these other tech fans run there mouth i will say i am glad that the rivalry is back i know many uga fans want to think this year was a fluke but CPJ is the real deal and is gunna be fun to see ga and ga tech play in primetime every year.

Ogletree’s definately a HUGE pickup! He hits like a truck and can cover. Some are talking about him eventually becoming a LB, but I don’t see it. His brother might be a tad short for a LB, but from what I hear might tryout for a FB position with UGA.

The Truth
June 28th, 2009
10:34 pm
Mike Bobo…UGA finished 11-2 and #2 in the nation in 2007…you wouldn’t consider that “close” to a national title? Furthermore, UGA is 3-2 against LSU in the last 5 meetings…so UGA is clearly in the same class as LSU. UGA is 74-18 since ‘02 with two SEC Championships and two Sugar Bowl Championships. They are also 6-1 in bowl games since ‘02.
For you to come on a UGA blog spouting out that kind of non-sense shows how clueless you are about college football. Although UGA hasn’t won a MNC, they are clearly a superior football program with great coaches. Over the last 10 years, they have continued to produce big-time NFL players in large numbers. Much of that is talent, but a big chunk is also coaching.
So, the question is…why would a recruit not want to go to UGA? They could go to Tech and be part of an option offense or UGA and be part of a pro-style (NFL) offense. Why do you think Stafford came to UGA…to be part of a pro-style offense…subsequently, he was the first pick in the draft.

Wonder if this has any connection with the Jarrick Williams commitment to Bama Saturday. Just seems odd that 2 of the top safeties commit at the same time for different SEC programs. The way it’s looking though, Williams might have to wait in line for the Tide to get a chance. Saban is loading up on DB’s. (well, on pretty much everything else too; come to think of it)
Flo-Ri-Duh!

Next a d-end and a corner and a couple of d-tackles and the defense will be set. UGA should end up with about 20 to 22 commits this year -not 18 as reported. Two guys were kicked off the team and one commit last year didn’t qualify.

Truth, to be fair, one of those Sugar Bowl wins was over a vastly overmatched Hawaii team.
As for Ogletree, he made a good choice. He can be a real impact on a currently poor defense, perhaps in spite of Martinez. He’ll get to play early.

@Artie………..yawn! Just like the same crap we were hearing before the 2005 season from the Okie fans and the rest of the country for that matter. That was before we laid an a$$ whipping on the Cowboys in the 2005 opener with guess what?…at QB that had been a career long backup with only his Sr year to showcase his talents. Things turned out pretty well for the Dawgs that day, for their SR QB (thanks DJ) and for their season as SEC champs.
So you guys keep piping off. All its doing is adding fuel to the fire because this team, this year, will come out highly motivated. And for you Tech geeks, let it go already. We dropped 42 points on you. It was a 3 pt win and the first one in 8 years. We’ve seen this all before. One win per decade after all the hype of we’ll get you next year. No one is really impressed…seriously, so let it go.

Oh, and welcome to UGA, Alec Ogletree, I think you will find your stay quite comforting. I hope you understand the importance of silencing these annoying little yellow jackets that seem to get fired up every once in a while and will welcome you to the field in the years to ahead to come join in the fun of achieving such.

TechDan,
UGA earned the right to play in the Sugar Bowl. The Dawgs had no say in who they played in that game. They just went out and took care of business in the game. Besides, if you recall, a lot of the talking heads were actually hyping Hawaii as an upset pick prior to the game. Of course, once UGA destroyed Hawaii, those same talking heads then declared it to be an expected outcome. The way UGA played to close out that season, I think they could’ve beaten pretty much anyone in the nation, if given the opportunity. It’s not their fault that they weren’t given the opportunity to play someone better than Hawaii. It’s just the way the current system works.

RealityCheck Newnan had no control over who is in our region. Newnan won them all and LaGrange and then Johnson, Tift, and N. Gwinnett. Camden beat us, but if you look at the film, the game was a lot closer than some would claim, we played poorly. But, we lost fair and square.
Against N. Gwinnett, Zander Ogletree was on that Boise QB all night. Word is that Zander will also play RB for Newnan and Alec will play receiver.
FWIW, Newnan has another LB that should get some Div I looks too.

I hate we don’t play Bama this year. The Dawgs would spank that butt also, and many Bama fans know that even if they won’t admit it.

Willie Martinez sucks. Richt needs to grow some and send him on his way. We are better off without him.

I guess all of the Techies are forgetting that they ended the season with a worse record and lower in the rankings than UGA… There is a battle, and a war Techies; and you only won one of those. Say what you will about Martinez, but in his time in Athens, he has put more kids from his defense into the NFL than Tech has as a program.With the new offensive scheme they have in place now, look for that trend to continue.
Great pick up on Ogletree. Keep those 4 & 5 star guys coming Richt!

I’m sure Willie Martinez will turn him into a superstar.

At 5′9 and 205 his brother may have to make the switch to safety also.

I guess that your kitties can’t take the truth. That the kitties will not win SEC West anytime soon. Ogletree should get a lots partice of running after ball carries in WM defense or watching them run by. Its long wat back to junkyard dawgs of Coach Erk Russell. Now that was a football coach!

Tech is in store for great seasons, Georgia will always be at least an 8 win team. I will give UGA credit, when fans from other teams blog on your site to rub it in…you must be a pretty good team. After reading a few of these blogs, this sounds like the bully you finally beat. Not sure why anyone would hate a “football team” so much. It is just a game…I am sure it will not matter when you are dead and gone. There are more meaningful purposes in life. Have a little class everyone.

I saw the Ogletree brothers playing in the state basketball tournament, and it was easy to see that they are freakishly strong athletes. The “normal” b-ball players were bouncing off of these boys. Tech can have the blog wars. I want some payback on the gridiron.

Too early to celebrate. Half of these kids change their commitment before Signing Day anyway. Until that letter gets sent in, it’s all up in the air.

You know, to hear all this stuff about a little to short to play LB is killing me. I think we have a pretty decent LB right now by the name of Renne Curran that should put that issue to rest. I’m just saying.

Bulldog Nation, watch Michael Carvell twist the news in Tech’s favor. Is he being properly compensated for all his hard work?????

Dawg fans, you dont get the big picture. For years, you’ve had the best talent–not only in the state, but in the country–and still come up empty year after year. It’s not about the talent, its about the team and how well they work together. So, if this guy stays out of trouble long enough to make the team, he can be part of another collapse by Richt’s lack of leadership.

I told everyone that the questionable fans of other schools would be flocking to this blog. They are obsessed with UGA. Some of these poignant people leave posts on UGA blogs on a daily basis. That is so sad. They are so dissatisfied with their school that they hope to pull UGA down to their level. They post the same things to the point of redundancy. We see the UGA/GT score posted. That is hilarious to me. That is all those people have to state. You get dominated for a decade. You get embarrassed by LSU. You beat a team that was obviously better but lacked defensive guidance and riddled with injuries. That is so pathetic. I am waiting for the academic excuses. That suggests that smart kids are lesser athletes which is ludicrous. The Gator “fans?” are talking trash about championships and recruiting. The true Gator fans, more than five years, have no need to talk garbage. They know that they won the national title and have enough class to avoid the stupid stuff. They are also disgusted by the bandwagon fans because they realize that they are not true Gators. These people were wearing other team colors five years ago and will be doing the same thing in a few years. These people keep criticizing the kids that UGA gets to commit. That is not smart. Throwing local high school kids under the bus alienates many kids. We welcome them to the UGA family while the other fans denounce their ability and intelligence. They poke fun of Mark Richt for being a devout Christian. That is a lack of class. Go DAWGS.

Oh so now rankings and stars matter on your recruits, because when the unranked kid from FLA pledge to cow town it didn’t matter. What a bunch of moronic hyporcrites. Hey Josh how many National Championships have the past recruiting classes gave the bull pups; and yes it has a lot to do with coaching. “Ain’t Life Grand” (WSP)
