UPDATED: Richt mum but suspensions still expected for Rambo, Ogletree
ATHENS — Georgia coach Mark Richt remained tight-lipped about the availability of safety Bacarri Rambo and linebacker Alec Ogletree for Saturday’s season opener against Buffalo.
It has been reported since March that the two all-star defenders are suspended for the first four games following a second violation of the UGA athletic association’s marijuana-use policy. However, neither Richt nor any UGA officials have confirmed those reports to date.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs listed both players as starters in the depth chart for the first game, which was released before Tuesday’s weekly news conference. However, Richt retreated into evasive mode when asked what he expected to see from those players during Saturday’s game.
“I just think we’ll have to wait and see,” he said coyly. “Time will tell.”
Alan Ingram, Rambo’s head coach at Seminole County High in Donalsonville, said in no uncertain terms back in March that Rambo told him he was going to be suspended for the first four games of the season after he and other UGA players allegedly failed surprise drug tests shortly after spring break. Ingram said Rambo told him it was his second violation of UGA’s marijuana-use policy for student-athletes, which calls for a suspension of 30 percent of competition dates and said that Ogletree was in the same situation. In the case of football players, that means four games.
Reached by telephone on Tuesday at Seminole County High, Ingram said he has no reason to believe anything has changed.
“I’ve seen Bacarri on several occasions since then and we honestly haven’t spoken about it,” said Ingram, a high school coach for 41 years. “I suppose he’s just going on with everything and will see what happens. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know anything more than I do. Of course, they may have told him not to talk to me about it. I just don’t know.”
Ingram said it’s possible he could be left out of the loop. So far he has been the only person to speak on the record about the situation. He said Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo came down and met with him shortly after Rambo’s news broke in March.
“Mike came down here a few days later and we discussed it,” In gram said. They didn’t have a problem with [Ingram talking]. I certainly didn’t have a problem with it. I did what the kid asked me to do. I’ve been around long enough that there’s not much that can hurt me anyway.”
Neither player has been made available for interviews since that information came to light six months ago. There have been indications that the Bulldogs, at this point, are trying to use the uncertainty as a strategic advantage against their opponents.
Richt admitted that Georgia has modified its disciplinary policies, which previously included an announcement beforehand that a player was being suspended from play.
” I don’t know if there’s anything etched in stone, but we are handing it a little bit different this year,” Richt said. “I don’t know if I can even say why. But we are definitely handling it just a little bit different.”
Regardless of all the rhetoric, it’s clear that Georgia is expecting to have to shuffle its defensive lineup early in the season. The Bulldogs already know they’re going to be without Sanders Commings, who’s two-game suspension for a domestic violence arrest was announced in February. Starting outside linebacker Chase Vasser is also out two games due to a May arrest for DUI. Converted receiver Malcolm Mitchell was listed as the starter at Comming’s boundary cornerback position and Ramik Wilson is listed as the starter at Vasser’s Sam linebacker spot.
It’s anticipated that senior Christian Robinson will get the call at Ogletree’s Mo linebacker position. Former walkon Connor Norman is listed as Rambo’s backup at free safety or the Bulldogs could move strong safety Shawn Williams to free and start Corey Moore at the strong safety. Clearly, the defense is expecting to make adjustments.
“These guys will be out for a while, but it won’t be a problem because whenever they come back we’ll be ready to play and we’ll have more depth,” said Robinson, who is listed as the backup for Ogletree at “Mo” inside linebacker. “They just tell everybody to be ready; you never know where you could be [playing]. I might be playing cornerback. Who knows?”
Ingram certainly isn’t expecting to see Rambo play early this season. But he said he believes the experience will ultimately be good for his former pupil.
“Bacarri’s a grown man now and he’s just going to take it,” Ingram said. “Whatever comes down is what’s going to happen. He wants to do some big things at Georgia, whether it’s seven or eight ballgames or 10 or 12, whatever. That’s the way he’s looking at it and that’s the way he sees it.”

There’s a typo i think. ” [...] shortly after Rambo’s news broke in Marsk [.]” Is that supposed to say MARCH?

I can’t believe that ogletree has occurred a second failed drug test. I thought he was the real deal and this is very disappointing because he has a chance to be a real star. I guess one more strike and he is out and his nfl career would be in jeopardy. I can understand a kid making a mistake and failing one test but after that you have go to wake up and realize what is at stake.

Maybe if the head coach would have shut his mouth to begin with and not made it his business to blab to the press, there would be a better chance of a lesser suspension. Sure, nothing can hurt him….but it can sure hurt the player he is supposedly trying to help.

I have to second uncle kirk’s comment. What good could possibly come from Ingram going public with this whether it is accurate or not? Perhaps if he’s wrong it would be a welcome relief for Bulldog fans and in the future people will take note of this. On the other hand, if his information is wrong you would think that Richt would be forthright in clarifying that. In any event, if Rambo and Ogletree have to sit out four games that will be significant. One thing players of their caliber should be reminded of is that while a suspension from games is one thing and it hurts the team, perhaps even more critical to them individually is what this might do to their NFL draft status. This could be very costly for them in that regard.

I had someone ask me about possible coaching changes this year in the SEC and it got me thinking…The SEC East could be in store for a possible facelift as far as coaches.
Tenn is desperate for money and glory and I think Petrino is as good as hired already.
I think Franklin moves on from Vandy this season… maybe Auburn of Arkansas.
I see J Phillips in UK getting canned.
Muschamp could go either way. If he gets canned I could see Petrino being offered that job as well.
CMR and Spurrier are safe but will only coach about 2-3 more years..
It’s going to be a fun fall.

Skipping…couldn’t agree more. It is a MYTH that UGA has tougher penalties than any other school. That MYTH was created and gained traction a few months ago when Commings, Ogletree, Rambo and others started failing drug test and getting into trouble….it was the SPIN that was fabricated to offset the bad news and to make themselves feel better.
The fact is that all schools kick players off the team and suspend players. Dooley is on the hottest of hot seats, and just kicked off one of his main offensive playmakers. UGA fans either need to be proud of the way CMR handles problem players, or long to be like other “thug” schools that they talk about all the time. However, they seem to want to split the difference…that is, they want to pound their chests, and at the same time whine about “disadvantages…”….I’m sure that’s what Muschamp said last year when Crowell played after having failed a drug test.

The point is this…nothing in college football is fair and perfectly even. Atheletic budgets, facilities, academic admission leves, coach salaries, etc…it’s all different. So to go on and on about a drug policy is ridiculous. Richt hasn’t even announced Rambo and Ogletree’s suspensions (and it’s rumored that they might not get suspended at all).

Having lived in Georgia all my life, with relatives at UGA, GT, Auburn, Alabama, FSU, and Florida ..I have been fortunate enough in my life that for the last 30 plus years to have the opportunity to be up close with practically every major football program in the south. I have seen the good, the bad and the indifferent. However I can say without a doubt that UGA fans on game day are the worse from a professional standpoint. As a whole the sidewalk fans( many many UGA folks are classy and fun to be around) are drunken fools post game who do not handle winning or losing very well.
UGA fans have had a great run with Richt, however the multitude of problems in recent years has far outweighed, outpublicized, and overrun a program that should be in the top 10 with all the talent in the state.
Too Many UGA fans are just delusional to see the truth.

Until they just demolish that crappiest of all SEC stadiums and come back with concrete and steel, with 18 inch seats, all the renovation won’t do a thing. As Sarah Palin said “lip stick on a pig”.
Plus a link to back up my statement that UT lost money last year, which is just ridiculous considering the history and prestige it use to have. 4th place in the east, with a loss to UK even after 25 years. At least post about a relevant programs and don’t clog the UGA blog with UT apologist post.

Rambo’s first suspension was for a rules violation, not drugs. He may have told Ingram that this was going to be a four game suspension, assuming that the last suspension counted for his first, but rules violations and drug/honor code violations are different. I’m hoping this is a first offense suspension and he only misses Buffulo.
As for comparing this to other schools, I frankly don’t care. No slam on other schools, but I want UGA to be clean and represent the school well. If another school wants to look the other way when a player uses drugs, or has a different level of punishment for the same offense, that’s not my issue. I happen to think all of the SEC coaches (now that Petrino’s gone) are men of character doing the best they can for their schools and players. I also don’t know the details of each situation so I don’t think its fair to try to substitute my judgment.
I want the player that attend UGA to grow into successful young men later in life, and instilling some discipline will help. If they make the NFL, great. But a scholarship to college should aid these men with their futures off the field as well. Go meet some of them after the glory and talk to them about their experiences. Most learn to work under presssure, handle adversity, work within a team construct, and many learn to lead. They also learn that there are multiple versions of every story that gets told.

Well if playing 4 of the all time teams with most wins (UT/UF/AU/GT) is easy, then anyone who thinks the schedule is easy is just not a student of the history of NCAA football.
Plus if we draw UA or LSU in the SECCG, along with USC in the BCS game, that would be 6 of the top 16 programs with most wins in NCAA history. I posted weeks ago that UGA is considered #2 in ALL TIME strength of schedule behind only Michigan. Here is that link again….

@huh you made a good point on the NCAA rules aren’t fair, they aren’t and I don’t see them getting any better anytime soon….the schedule issue kills me , we play Auburn, UT and UF and I’m pretty sure that all 3 will be better this year than they ended up last year, so all that “soft” schedule talk is just talk..

Anyone who thinks this will effect their draft status is foolish. Just as foolish as our discipline policies. Any person who doesn’t realize that the majority of people in this country do, or have, tried weed is naive. We are at a point when the majority of REASONABLE individuals in this country recognize that marijuana is, in fact, less harmful than alcohol. The NFL does not care!!!! IF it was something harder I’m sure they’d be concerned but it’s not!!!
The sad thing is that our administration and coaches don’t recognize that and therefore levy penalties that are MUCH HARSHER than our competition. It’s not that the other schools are lax, it’s that we are way behind the times. Sad.

Did I read some people post things/questions/statements like this about breaking the law?
Why do these kids think they can get away with it?
—————————————–NFL, NBA, MLB players do illegal drugs all the time and get way with it. Bill Clinton said he did it and got elected. Marion Berry did it lost his job and still got reelected. Vick did it all the time and got a $100 million dollar contract. Life has taught these kids that people can get away with anything under certain circumstance. O.J. Simpson & Casey Anthony come to mind.
Why do they keep making the same mistake?
————————–Again look at your elected officials, teachers, cops & pro athletes. They do it and still make millions. It is the regular JOE’S that really lose their jobs and lives but these kids have been SPECIAL since little league and think they are above the law.
Don’t they know it could cost them their future?
—————–Mike Vick, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Victor Hill and more than you can name that get it all back and then some.
Why did the coach say anything that could get the kid in trouble?
————-Maybe the kid expressed that he need guidance and the coach was trying to help. Maybe Rambo needs to go to NA and get Counceling but IF nobody knew he would keep doing wrong. Maybe if RICHT really did care he would have the kid get some real HELP and not just a weekend or 2 off from playing ball.
We should go easy on them it is no big deal.
Keep acting like these issues don’t matter. Look at WHO is running the world. It ain’t a PRO Athlete. It is CHINA and the Educated. By the Educated I don’t mean some freaking Art History, Housing or Psychology degree holder either.

I just don’t understand why our schedule is an issue. Last I checked we play 8 conference games in the hardest conference in the nation. Last I checked we don’t control the conference rotation. Last I checked, we played LSU and Bama in the same year and nobody complained in 2008. In 2009 We played LSU and Ark and nobody complained. We dropped Louisville for Boise St last year and nobody complained. We played Ok St, Ariz St, Colorado and about to play Clemson non conference, but all I ever hear whining about is how “easy” our schedule is. Who did UF play when they used to be good? Our schedule should be easy based on previous schedules, but how do we not know somebody is being overlooked on the schedule? Please for the last time everybody stop talking about how easy the schedule is.

I have been to about every SEC stadium except Arky and KY. Fans at all SEC schools come from all $$ walks of life. Yes, some of them have, since I began viewing UGA games in 1959, do get blitzed drunk in public. It is not a pretty sight. It just is the way that it is.
Put a red ball cap with a G on it and that supposedly makes the person a fan. If they are stumble bum drunks around Athens, that is their issue not UGA’s issue. UGA publically warsn against public intoxication as just about every public school has to.
Do not blame UGA or their alumni for the locals that drive in from all points on the campus to party. I have seen this all over the SEC, incl ACC schools at Clemson and at FSU and GT games.

Is it UGA’s fault? No…but is it a fact? Yes.

Listen…I’m not mad at UGA for the way the schedule has worked out last year and this year. The conference schedule, as I have said repeatedly, is not UGA’s fault. UGA will win a ton of games and get back to the SEC CG because of it (like last year)….I’m simply saying that after you have won a ton of games, the media and other fans are going to point to UGA’s weak schedule when comparing to other teams from the SEC. It’s happening now, and it will surely continue throughout the season.

As far as stadiums are concerned, I don’t really care. A lot of schools have nice stadiums. UT sure packs the fans in though. As a matter of fact, ESPN ranked UT in the top 10 greatest places to watch a college game I believe. Recruits seem to love it as well.

Loyal, our schedule isn’t an issue at all. Just gives the haters something to hate on this year. First, even if SC and UF were terrible (which they aren’t) we would still have to play the West champs, likely either Bama or LSU. So, assuming we were to beat them, we would almost certainly be playing number one or two in the BCS. The key isn’t how tough the schedule is, but winning all of our games. If we lose one or two, that is where it will enter the discussion. All of this pontification about strength of schedule *before* any of the the games have been played is stupid and a waste of time. Nobody knows how well any of the teams will play. Georgia is number six right now. If they win, we will be fine. If they lose, we won’t. Our record is what matters this year.

Universities live on the pledges that donors make to the school. UT just spent 300 million on renevations. So if they hadn’t spent that money, they would have 300 mill in the bank. They are planning on spending 200 million more. And they have 400 million in pledges. A 3 million dollar “paper loss” is a drop in the bucket. Everybody knows why…it’s because of the buyouts from Mike Hamilton’s mess…and those will go off the books in a couple of years. But to act like UT is almost out of money is a joke.

Just for factual clarification, neither Rambo nor Ogletree previously failed a drug test, although Rambo’s suspension for violation of team rules was due to association with an individual arrested for drugs (he was in the car). Rambo was given, and passed, a drug test following the incident last year.
The high school coach who “reported” the pending suspensions and started all of this fervor is not a spokesperson for UGA, he is a individual who saw (and took) his opportunity for 15 minutes of fame. His “announcement” was in his best interest only, no one else’s, and was very likely a result of a player who he was trusted by and the mentor of voicing his worst fears in what he thought was confidence.
No one is quite sure, under the circumstances, how long of a suspension might be levied, as it is entirely a University and athletic program decision. This puts both Missouri and Vanderbilt at a disadvantage in preparing for their game against UGA, very similar to the strategy certain other SEC coaches have employed in recent seasons regarding injury status to key players. Georgia certainly would have preferred this not be an issue at all, but it was wise to decide to make the best of a bad situation.
As for “huh?”, twinkie, and others who are this years flavor of trolls…keep making yourself feel proud by trolling the UGA boards on a public news forum; it happens every year, and rarely involves the same individuals. Just know that the few individuals that you bait into a heated argument with you here represent only the tiniest fraction of even those who read the articles, much less the fan base. Also realize, no matter what you state, that there are plenty of us intelligent enough to recognize someone that is insecure in the state of his/her own favorite program, and who feels the need to compensate. I live in Jacksonville, Florida, and am surrounded by plenty of “fans” of the Gators who were some of the rudest, most obnoxious people you would ever hope to (not) meet just a couple of years ago, but who suddenly and inexplicably “Really don’t care that much one way or the other.”
So your attitude is not new, and not original, but will most certainly be repeated again next year; if not by you, then by one of the other countless “smart trolls” who just can’t seem to stay away from the boards of a team that they state, ironically, doesn’t matter to anyone else to begin with.

We need to use that against Buffalo? Plus I think Missouri is smart enough to figure out that if Olgetree and Rambo are not on the field against Buffalo warming up then they probably won’t start cold turkey in the SEC opener.

Dawg-Nation: Thanks for the information. I didn’t think Rambo had a previous suspension for drugs or under age alchohol. The only place I could find postings calling this a second offense where from his high school coach, which I don’t count as a reliable source.
I suspect this may be an issue of was the violation intentional. Here’s a guy with a clean record, who has passed every drug test, and he claims that this offense was unintentional because he didn’t know the brownies contained dope. There was no law enforcement involvement but he did fail a school administered drug test. The question becomes was the act intentional, and can he convince school leadership it wasn’t?
Rambo is in college. He is not responsible for the behavior of his friends, but it is a lesson to him that their behaviour can get him in trouble. I leanred this at a similar age and decided I needed to stay away from my friends with drug habits but that is sometimes easier said than done. My security clearance required drug testing so being around my college buddies would always put me at risk. So would a party if it got raided.
I’m sure there have been some discussions and a lot of off season thought given to this situation. You can’t unring a bell. It’s time for Rambo to grow up and protect his future.

Gdawg-
I don’t follow the logic of your argument. There is virtually zero chance either player will be on the field against Buffalo, nor will it matter in the slightest. A one game suspension for both players is by far the most optimistic resolution that anyone could hope for at this point. But UGA cannot announce that their suspension status is “week to week.” If one or both players are suspended for 3 games, and this had been announced at the beginning of the week, then Vanderbilt would know, barring injury, that they would be facing off against both players, and be given an additional week to prepare accordingly. If the suspension is only for one game for either or both players, then having announced it at the beginning of the week would give Missouri an additional week to prepare accordingly.
Not knowing all of the variables of a team that you are going to face makes it more difficult to run your scout team in simulation, and is less time efficient. It may be a small advantage, but this is the SEC; coaches will gladly take any advantage that they can get (within the limits of the rules…in most cases).
