Clemson lands former UGA target from Carver-Columbus
A Carver-Columbus player that was set to commit to Georgia two weekends ago has now settled on Clemson instead.
Defensive end Corey Crawford was set to commit to the Bulldogs before they withdrew a scholarship offer to teammate Devin Burns during the Dawg Night camp on July 18. That reversal resulted in Carver coach Dell McGee’s decision to ban UGA recruiters from the school.
The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Crawford, a three-star recruit, then visited Clemson and gave the Tigers a verbal commitment on Tuesday, clemson.scout.com is reporting. Crawford was Clemson’s 13th commitment and followed the lead of another Carver teammate — offensive lineman David Beasley (6-3, 294) — who gave the Tigers a pledge earlier in the day on Tuesday, according to the website.
That gives the Tigers three Georgia players in two days. Centennial cornerback Martin Jenkins committed Monday night. They have four Georgians committed overall including Woodstock-Etowah offensive lineman Reid Webster.
Georgia was already heavily committed at the defensive end position with five recruits: Brandon Burrows, B.J. Butler, Jalen Fields, Dexter Morant and T.J. Stripling.

I don’t understand for akid not commit to a school HE was interested in and change his mind because a school withdrew their offer to a team mate, don’t YOU go to school that is best for YOU and not a teammate, I understand the friendship thing, but how far does that carry you.

When did UGA ever really get a lot of players from Columbus anyway? That area of Ga has always been Auburn territory. I’m kinda surprised that McGee isn’t steering all those players to the Barn, with him being a former player and all…..just sayin…

Wouldn’t dismiss him for “only” being a three star player. Seems like I remember a couple of three star players at Georgia a few years back. I believe their names were Greene and Pollack. Maybe we should have let them go to another school because they weren’t rated high enough coming out of high school. Good luck to Corey and the rest of the kids from Georgia. Represent your state well and enjoy a privilege that probably none of the arm chair quarterbacks on this page were able to experience. Work hard and follow your dream with this shot.

Let’s review again! Georgia’s “09 schedule and being in the SEC.I would be careful about rescinding schlarships and running off recruits. They are going to need all the help they can get this season. The Dawgs may get BIT with a 7-5 season. Better luck, next year.

my Aunt George needs to let Saint out of the basement so that he can play 45-42 in the lottery. He’ll have as much cahnce winnning that as Tech will this year.
As far as young Mr. Crawford goes, I wish him well and hopes he makes the best out of the opportunity being presented.
I sure do wish that I had the god given athletic capabilities to have gotten a scholarship back in the 80’s
C’est la vie!

BTW Crawford consistently said Clemson was his #1 school. It was Burns who tried to commit to find out the spot/offer he sat on at his coaches insistance for over 4 months had been filled by another prospect. No point in getting the facts correct when slinging mud at UGA.

UGA has nothing to explain…… these guys waited too late and the train had left the station. The assistant coach dropped the ball in telling them this before they left for Athens. The fact that Crawford committed to the first school he visited since losing out only proves he learned his lesson (the hard way).

Now, back to blogging. Stars are only for recruiting stories and people like us. Meyer recently signed a 1-star WR that no big-time school was even recruiting. Meyer thinks he will become a star big receiver at Florida with coaching. Talent evaluation by the college coaches is far more important than Rivals or Scouts star ratings. And a players’ heart and desire is more important than that. If you forget, Lawrence Marsh was a, 235lb., 3-star DE prospect out of Georgia that many Georgia fans laughed at when Meyer signed him a couple of years ago. Now, because of his heart and desire (and the great coaching he has received), he has developed into one of the SEC’s best defensive tackles (not DE) at around 300 lbs. He will be a NFL starting DT some day. This kid might do the same and with good coaching, probably will become a “player” in the ACC. I like the new head coach at Clemson. I think he will bring Clemson back to the top in the SEC along with Miami. Georgia Tech, under Johnson (who is a really good head coach by the way), will be in the ACC title hunt every year, too. Watch out for the ACC. They are getting better and better.

In all the replies I’ve ever read when it comes to recruiting (especially UGA fans – and I swear, if Stafford had changed his mind to go to Texas, most of you would have been right up on it saying you didn’t want him anyway) – I’ve seen so many people ask why is this news, or why is this being rehashed, etc. Well, the people at the AJC know that all they have to do is mention somebody going to UGA or somebody NOT going to UGA (which would pretty much include every high school football player in America) and they know that UGA fans will crawl out of the woodwork to either welcome or condemn that players decision.
Guess what? The number of hits on websites drives the ability to sell advertising – same as any other media type – so woof, woof, woof all you want, just don’t wonder out loud why the AJC.com is putting something out there, you’re only showing your intelligence, or better yet, the lack thereof.

Are you quoting hearsay about Crawford from the Carver Coach as fact? I can’t seem to find where you interviewed Crawford. Other media who interviewed Crawford quotes him as saying he didn’t plan to commit to UGA. You are taking a comment from the kids coach and without confirming with the kid you are publishing it as fact. I guess one side of a story and hearsay comments from the coach is all you need.

Tampa Gator—-Here’s a recruiting twist for you. That formerly 1-star recruit you mentioned (Travon Van) has already been re-rated as a 3-star recruit by Scout.com based simply on the fact that he has committed to the Gators. Of course, I have no idea what the kid’s real potential is, but it is a sick comment on the politics of the recruit ratings services.
BTW, did you see Rivals.com already has Florida ranked second with 17 recruits for its 2010 class, with three fewer recruits than leading Texas?

Clearly kids have been making decisions about where they want to play college football for years…some work out, some don’t, but regardless it’s their decision and we, and they must live with it. Who knows why somebody would choose Clemson over Georgia? Maybe they just like the color (LOL)…maybe they got bitten by a bulldog when they were five…maybe their mommas and daddies like Clemson, SC more than they do Athens, GA. We just have to respect it and hope that the ones that do come to Georgia end up doing better than the ones that go to Clemson, or Florida, or Tennessee, or Tech, or…well, you get it…when we play ‘em.
Besides, one Wrightsville running back choosing Georgia in 1980 is worth every other Georgia native picking Clam-son forever and ever.

Nice post TampaGator. You have it right about all of this recruiting “star gazing” going on with all of the uninformed. Players are players and they will either perform on the field or not. The stars are not a guarantee of anything. Given that you are easily more aware of the reality of this recruiting charade that everyone else is buying into, you might enjoy reading some more college football opinions on isportsweb.com. Go check out the Georgia Tech postings there for some pieces on Paul Johnson. As well as the Gators. Nice coments. Looking forward to seeing UT get their coach humbled on September 19 in the swamp.

To anybody thinking UGA is on the decline, choke on this, since 1970(39 years) UGA has the highest winning % in the SEC. Do the research.
With the talent pool in and around ga, UGA being the majority party of the empire state of the south, if you think UGA football will go on a steady decline you need to take up gardening and not college football as an interest.

This is more evidence that 16 and 17 year old kids are not mature enough to make good decisions, particularly when they are fawned over by college coaches. The NCAA should prevent physical contact with high school players until after their senior season. When teenagers are being assured of millions of NFL dollars, it is hard for them to focus on school or reality.

Clemson has a star DE right now that is better than any DE on UGA’s roster..

To Clemson 538, I am left wondering what gives the right to make some outlandish assumptions. To label all UGA fans as idiots, reveals a great deal about you. Let me set you straight. The true UGA fans have said nothing negative about your program nor the young man in question. I do not talk badly of teenagers. I leave that to the morons that gain a glimmer of hope of attention by posting ridiculous comments that have no purpose or meaning. It is sad that some of these pathetic people are allowed to communicate to the masses. Sadly, many young people feel like they are gaining recognition and acceptance by doing such things. In truth, they are perceived as mindless mental midgets. In truth, I am happy to see that the young man has settled on a D1 school and I wish him well. I’m sure he is a great kid with a bright future. I’m not going to minimize or marginalize him. Carver is a great high school that has close relations to UGA. Yes, we all know the media circus went wild with the story from last week. In terms of your personal insults, I have some results that you need to address. Your team too was ranked highly at the beginning of the year. Alabama whipped your highly ranked team too. What record did your team finish with? What bowl game did your team attend and what was the outcome? The reality is that Clemson is not even considered an elite ACC team and that is pathetic. You fired an excellent coach. Since you seem to have the delusion that UGA has inferior talent, I will post some results for you: The overall UGA/Clemson record is 41 – 17 – 4 in the favor of UGA. Your team has not defeated UGA since 1990. Yes, that is close to two decades. UGA has whipped Clemson in 5 straight games. Are you sure about your talent assessment? Yes, Clemson places a great deal of talent in the NFL. In many ways that is an insult to your program because it doesn’t translate to conference titles or major bowl wins. Before you get diarrhea of the mouth via your fingers, get treatment for constipation of the brain. Go DAWGS.

By the way I’m sure the Dawgs wish they had handled the Devin situation better/differently but unfortunately these things to happen when there are limited scholarships. I do KNOW for a fact that they have been in touch with McGee often since that issue and have already started the process of getting back in good graces with the Coach. We have offered Carver players for class of 2011; Gabe Wright who is a stud DT and Crowell a stud RB.

Based on your aggregious grammar and syntax, it is fair to presume that you have little education. You are nothing more than an instigator that gains a sense of pride and joy from making inciting and ridiculous comments. If that is not true, why are you posting on a blog that has nothing to do with UF? We all know that you have no legitmate answer. It is akin to your claims of inside knowledge of the UF program. The only thing you know about the Gators is what time and channel that they are playing on television. We all know that you are hiding all the UM and FSU team appareal in your closet. In a few years, you will be posting under another team’s name and making outlandish comments for that program. All you do is come on here trying to gloat about the Gators. We all know that UF won the national championship. We all know that Tim Tebow is a once in a decade talent. The truth is that the vast majority of your talent is upperclassmen. I have found it amuzing at how you try to minimize and marginalize kids will they say no to UF. If your school did not want them, how did you know their names? Yes, you are full of crap.

Dawgtime: WOW.. um i stopped reading after you said we just got rid of a great coach.. that is about the MOST asinine thing i have ever heard in my ENTIRE life.. Bowden was a good recruiter.. and an AWFUL coach… This is going to be the first year in more than a decade that we start with a new coach that actually has the balls to make a real gameplan.. Not to mention a hell of a defensive coordinator in Kevin Steele.. Not considered an elite team in the ACC? Not sure where you got that.. and honestly could give a crap less about what retarded SEC fans thing about any conference other then their own.. Eventually you will realize something.. Clemson was considered an elite team in the ACC based on talent the past 5 or so years… Bowden was a transition period.. Now that the talent is here and the consistent flow of talent is here it is time for an ACTUALY COACH in Dabo Swinney to create an elite team based on their play on the field and not on the talent in the locker room.. Personally.. I don’t consider UGA an elite team in the SEC anymore either.. You have Knowshon, Stafford, Massaqoi and a stout Freshman WR and you can’t do better then mediocrity… You act like UGA has proven themselves the almighty.. They are just the same old choke jobs as Ohio State has.. Clemson is a program on the RISE.. UGA is a program on the DECLINE.. have fun.. C-L-E-M-S-O-N T-I-G-E-R-S Fight Tigers! Fight Tigers! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! F the SEC and their retarded fan base.. its like watchin a circus with a bunch of elephant footed freaks

I think TampaGator is one of the few people who actually posts thoughtful, relevant information. There, I said it.

AAs a dawg fan I am going to defend my team. A high school player and coach have the right to go to any school they want. It is up to Georgia to recruit the players they want and hope they make the right decision to come to Athens. I am so sick of these web sites and hearing kids say I am not going there because they didnt offer my friend. So What!!!! The University of Georgia is bigger than Carver High School. Foe every player we dont get at Carver, there is another player at another school waiting to fill that scholarship. We dont need a marginal QB in BUrns we dont need this DE that decided to go to Clemson cause his buddy got disapponted. We have strong depth at both of those positions with players who have alot of promise. Carver coach get over it!!!!! Carver make AYP for a dam change!!!! If you guys only knew what scandals that circulate at Carver High

Dawgfan1911 ……I am a Dawg fan also . But UGA was just flat wrong on this and so are you. CARVER DON’T NEED UGA EITHR! Carver will send 5 kids to D-1 schools this year. Tell me how many GA high schools can say that? I guess you forgot all the other schools in state that didn’t make AYP…..that has a kid on UGA Roster…….don’t bash Carver…..

Dawgtime…since you took up so much space to blast me in every way possible…I thought I would let you know something. Yes, I have spent a lot of time blogging recently. It has been a good diversion for me. Eighteen weeks ago I was injured in a serious car accident and only this week took small steps to learn how to walk using my left leg again (in addition to having emergency surgery later to remove a blood clot that ran from my left foot all the way to my intestines. I am just happen to be alive, my friend. And yes, I am looking forward to a full recovery from the accident so I can get back to the job I love and miss…including being with my wonderful immediate co-workers who graduated from places like Georgia, Holy Cross, Alabama, Samford, and unfortuantely FSU. And, yes, I hold a degree from a fine university located in Gainesville, Florida…where I graduated with honors. I then attended a graduate school in Chicago that is well known for its various and well-respected graduate programs. But, hopefull, I will soon be able to leave my bed, where all I can do is get on the internet, read wonderful books (most recent good ones…”The Genesis Project” by Tom Know last week and I am just finishing up “Cross Country” by James Patterson this week. I only watch TV when a good movie is ready for view. And, yes, my sentence structure and spelllllling are not alllllways pefectto when I blog, and I don’t mind when other bloggers remind me of my errors. Have a nice evening, and don’t hate so much in the future.

Sorry…that is Tom Knox as the author of “The Genesis Secret.” I would highly recommend it to those who enjoy adventure and historical related fiction.

dawg fan:
I read MANY TIMES that Corey Crawford was going to commit but did not after what happened to his friend Burns. Here is one of the MANY articles that it took me THIRTY SECONDS to find on Google:
http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/story/784096.html
It reads “Corey Crawford, a rising senior Carver defensive end with an offer from Georgia, was with Burns in Athens and planned to commit as well, but changed his mind after the incident. He was not the only Carver player Georgia may have lost.”
That was in the COLUMBUS PAPER. Here is one from AN ATHENS PAPER.
http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/072209/foo_467362133.shtml
Here is one FROM ESPN.
http://sports.espn.go.com/highschool/rise/news/story?id=4348798
A SAVANNAH PAPER.
http://www.savannahnow.com/node/756433
Is that enough? Or do you want more? Crawford would have committed to UGA but chose not to after what happened to Burns. Period. And now you guys can’t even claim “this was all part of some plot to steer Carver-Columbus kids to Auburn by their coach” because this kid chose CLEMSON, not Auburn. Oh yes, Dell McGee also banned Tommy Tuberville’s staff from his campus after Auburn’s players teamed up on and beat up his previous QB DeRon Furr (who transferred to Memphis and was the MVP of their spring game at CB).
Look, no one is criticizing UGA for pulling Burns’ offer. Burns himself has said that he got over it in a day or two. The problem was incompetence on the part of UGA’s staff for failing to notify Burns before Dawg Night, something that Mark Richt himself freely admits and takes full responsibility for. Richt has been trying to make amends for it ever since, and McGee acknowledges that he will lift the ban once he is assured that the staff incompetence that led to this nonsense doesn’t happen again. UGA screwed up and is trying to make things right. Admit it and move on. As this incident only cost you Bulldogs one player that can be easily replaced, it really shouldn’t be a big deal. That is, unless you are someone who fundamentally lacks honesty and integrity. If you are someone who is fundamentally dishonest, well then stop rooting for UGA because Mark Richt and his players and coaches and that institution deserve better. Go find some corrupt dishonest politician and root for him or her, and that way the both of you would deserve each other.

No yarn DDDAWG. But the compression stocking on my left leg that improves blood flow might be made of it. And check out the drug, Warafin. Warafin thins the blood and prevents reacurring bloods clots for highly inactive persons with extremity injuries (or just inactive people with blood clot issues). It is basically rat poison, so I doubt I would be taking it unless I needed to treat a serious problem with lack of movement and blood clots. Have a nice day.

Climpson is irrelevant anyway. UGA can’t get everyone from the state and bottom feeders such as climpson get what’s left. By the way, their coach’s name is Dabo, bwwaaahhhaaaa! GO DAWGS!!

LOL. 99% of the posters there are yellow wigs.
Only a woman would use a blog to post details about an injury to try and garner sympathy. Go to the basket weaving blog and post your ailments so the other womenfolk will “awe, poor thang” over you. It’s bad enough a freaking gaytor spews here, but please, leave the pity party at home.
