UGA is in some serious trouble. Richt's a good guy and a good coach. But his recruiting class has become a disaster.....sounds a lot like the 99 OSU class.
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Two more Georgia football recruits will not be able to enroll this fall for academic reasons, further eroding coach Mark Richt’s highly touted recruiting class.
Corey Moon and Jamar Bryant are the fourth and fifth of Richt’s 19 signees whose academics prevent them from being on the team. Another, safety Antavious Coates, injured a knee last month and is sidelined for the entire season.
Moon, a defensive end from Decatur, said he did not score high enough on the SAT and will enroll at Virginia’s Hargrave Military Academy.
Bryant, from Hamlet, N.C., failed to qualify for admission to Georgia in 2004 and spent the last year at Hargrave. With his academic situation still unresolved a month before fall camp begins, Bryant decided to enroll at East Carolina.
“Jamar Bryant has asked for and received release from his letter of intent with the University of Georgia. He has decided he wants to go to East Carolina University, which is closer to his home,” Richt said.
The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Moon had 14 sacks as a senior. He said his SAT was 50 points under the 1010 he needed to go with a GPA of 2.0.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Bryant, who starred on both sides of the ball at Hargrave, was expected to play defensive back for the Bulldogs, Hargrave coach Robert Prunty said.
