Richt has ‘big news,’ but not about QBs (PLUS: Hoops transfer finds new home)
(Updated 3 p.m.)
Buck Belue and John Kincade were hoping for big news from Mark Richt on their 680 The Fan show Wednesday afternoon.
“Coach, let’s cut right to the chase today,” Belue said. “We’re expecting this big announcement on the quarterbacks. You want to go ahead and make that today live on our show?”
“Well, I do have big news,” Richt responded. “I got big news.”
And the news is . . .
“We got at least eight or nine guys,” Richt said, “graduating in this semester.”
As for that other piece of news Bulldog Nation awaits: No news yet.
Richt said after the G-Day game that he hoped to have a post-spring depth chart (at quarterback and all other positions) available by the end of this week. But Georgia sports information director Claude Felton sent out an e-mail this morning with word that the depth chart shouldn’t be expected this week after all.
Maybe next week.
The position coaches are still in the process of “exit interviews” with their players. Those one-on-one meetings are held after spring practice each year for coaches to provide players an assessment of where they stand and what they need to work on over the summer. Richt has said the depth chart won’t be posted until all players have had their meetings.
Slowing the process: Several coaches have been out of town this week, visiting practices at other schools.
On the radio with Belue and Kincade, Richt offered no hints about the quarterback pecking order.
“My brother Craig got a chance to go to all the [spring] scrimmages and the G-Day game,” Richt said. “But after every scrimmage he had a different guy he liked.
“So it’s not as clear-cut as anybody might want to think. It’s hard to have somebody just heads and tails above the others when they’re all very talented guys. If one guy was just flat-out better than the other guys by a long shot, it’d be real easy. But the good news is, we’ve got some very capable guys. It’s tough to make the call. ”
———————————————
Drazen Zlovaric, who left Georgia’s basketball program last month with plans to transfer to another school, has found his new home.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga announced today that Zlovaric, a 6-foot-9 sophomore forward from Serbia, has signed scholarship papers and will join Mocs program. He’ll have to sit out the 2010-11 season under NCAA transfer rules, then will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Zlovaric played in 43 games for Georgia the past two seasons, averaging 6.3 minutes and 1.0 points. He said he was transferring in search of more playing time.
Zlovaric first came to the United States in the fall of 2006 as an exchange student at Cleveland (Tenn.) High School, near Chattanooga. He played one basketball season there. He finished his prep career at the Patterson School in Lenoir, N.C.
“We are thrilled to get him,” Chattanooga coach John Shulman said in announcing Zlovaric’s signing. “He is skilled, athletic and loves the game. His work ethic is off the charts.”

Was just watching College Football Live and they were discussing how the SEC is the best conference. They said we had the best coaches and they named about 6-7 names…………Mark Richt not mentioned.

Patrick/gunner dog is out of rehab early today. Keep is up to date with your facts Fatrick. You forgot about these:
Under CMR:
UGA is 14-11 against SEC east opponents the last 5 years.
UGA is 2-7 against Florida
UGA is 3-8 against Florida and Tenn. the last five years.
UGA is 2-3 against Tenn. the last five years.
UGA has never beaten won all its SEC east games in a season
UGA has never beaten Tenn and Fla in the same season
AS FATRICK WOULD SAY; VERY DISTURBING.

I believe that Murray is the better QB. He really is a hybrid of the two, HOWEVER…….it does appear that he is being outplayed at the moment. Hard to tell if a spring hero with a non-contact jersey can pan out when the bullets are real.
If Murray plays well in the 1st 2 games, we WILL have a problem.
At least the days of having to play Joe T. are gone….

Murray will start… and stay the starter unless he gets injured.
Read some of the articles about Mett’s G-Day game again. You’ll read many comments (even from the 2 competing QBs) about G-Day being Mett’s best scrimmage of his college career thus far. His absolute BEST DAY EVER! That includes all reps this Spring and all of last year. You cannot pick a QB based on one strong performance. Murray was pressing too much (to please the crowd) and Gray was respectable. To top it off, Mett showed incredible immaturity in his arrest and infractions. That is not the leader the Dawgs want to start this season. Aaron Murray will be your starter… for many years to come. Get used to it. You’ll love him when he wins the Heisman and a national title.
Personally, I’m fine with Murray making mistakes in the Spring. Let him get his picks out of the way. You won’t see those mistakes in the Fall. And, with the TOs that I expect from this defense, the extra series the offense will see can only add to the scoring. Now, everyone, simmer down and take a deep breath… the Dawgs will be dazzling… for the next decade!!

Debose, do you believe Mark Richt is not one of the top 7 coaches in the SEC right now? Don’t give a flip what you say they said on a TV show. I am asking you, as a football fan. Name the 7 better coaches in the SEC, and why you consider them to be.

under Richt
He is 24-7 against the SEC West.
He is 28-16 against the SEC East.
He is 38-4 against nonconference opponents.
He is 8-1 against Georgia Tech.
He won four of his first five games against Tennessee, but has lost three of the last four against the Vols since then.
He was born the same year as Chuck D of Public Enemy.
Ranks third in winning percentage among active college coaches that have coached for at least five years, now that Pete Carroll left USC for the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks.
He is 90-27, trailing only Urban Meyer (96-18) and Bob Stoops (117-29).\\yeah he is pretty damn good

Mark Richt is one of only six coaches to win two SEC football championships in their first five years coaching. He is also one of only five head coaches in SEC history to record four straight 10-win seasons

Coach Richt’s Red and Black outfits have never posted a losing record in conference play and six of his last eight squads have finished 6-2 or better in regular-season SEC contests.

yeah he is pretty damn good.

Mark Richt’s overall success in Southeastern Conference action—including two SEC titles, three conference championship game appearances, and four finishes of no worse than tied for first place in the East, with no losing records in the process—is without parallel in Georgia football history.
.
Yeah he is prety damn good

Ere anyone attempts to argue that Coach Richt’s superb out-of-conference ledger is the product of schedules stacked with the likes of
Northwestern State,
Western Kentucky,
Tennessee Tech, and
Hawaii in the 2008 Sugar Bowl,
I should hasten to point out that he is 21-4 against
Arizona State,
Boise State,
Boston College,
Clemson,
Colorado,
Florida State,
Georgia Tech,
Michigan State,
Oklahoma State,
Purdue,
Texas A&M,
Virginia Tech,
West Virginia, and
Wisconsin.
Even if we factor out Division I-AA teams, Sun Belt squads, and similar schedule fodder, Coach Richt is .840 against teams from automatic BCS-qualifying conferences other than the SEC. (Yes, I’m going ahead and counting the Broncos in that category because the Mountain West will get a guaranteed bid as soon as Boise State is invited to join.)

There are those in Bulldog Nation who would like to see Mark Richt run out of town on a rail. Such people should be turned over to the custody of Mike Leach, in the hope that he will treat their obvious head trauma the way he treated Adam James’s

correction:
ummmm UGA is in decline over last 4 years?????
Wait a minute I am confused.
Didnt UGA finish SECOND IN THE NATION in 2007?
Isn’t 2007 within the last FOUR YEARS?
Didnt UGA finish 10th/13th in 2008?
So in last 4 years UGA has finished 2nd and 10th and thats a decline????
Wow where was UGA ranked higher than SECOND IN THE NATION before that you would claim that SECOND IN THE NATION is a decline.
Wouldn’t UGA have to have finished at NUMBER ONE IN THE NATION at some point for SECOND IN THE NATION to be a decline. Some people are kinda ……well moronic.

If UGA finishes this year at or under 7 or 8 wins then you can officially say decline. Maybe a tad to early to say, though the trending winds are indicating that direction. Even Auburn and Tennessee had a better recruiting year.

I don’t think Ramble On and Saint Simons are the same person but I do agree that they’re both female.
If the techmites are going to start stinking up our boards again by posting scores on them then I suggest we return the favor by posting the football score (where dawgs whipped the techmites) over on all of their boards. Not one, but all, every single day. Let their GT brothers and sisters have to put up with the trash daily like we do here.

Murry throwing an interception in the 3 srping scrimmages 1 every 17 passes. on track to be the next Joe Cox. This has to stop. Somebody needs t put an end to UGA QB’s who throw the ball to the WRONG TEAM.

Richt’s just trying to keep the losers happy by giving them a talking too first. He’d hate to lose the losers to immediate transfers that could end up playing for another program in a year or two. Why would the young loser want to hang around knowing the winner has so many years of eligibility left? Their aspirations to play in the NFL would be shot and the likelihood of ever playing in Athens would be minuscule unless they change positions.
