UGA fans are gonna sh*t bricks when they take a look at Henry's highlights. He seems like a legit HB at 6'3/6'4 which is really rare. Guy just bulldozes people and has really good balance/agility.

I just gagged.

Enjoy it boys, Friday Night Lights is next weekend!

He is ridiculous. And the experts don't expect this to deter Keith Marshall from joining the 2012 class, either. My god, what a combo that would be, huh? Gotta say, for as thin as we ended up going into this year, it looks like we're going to stockpile some serious talent at the position.

Maybe Theus will send Muschump a postcard from Athens.

We wanted him bad, no doubt. But fortunately we are in on most of the top O-Lineman this year.
The Gators will still have a good haul for 2012.

They always do. Theus was a must have for us, and we felt good about him all along but it's good to have him go ahead and make it official. We'll sign at least two JUCO offensive linemen this year, and we're still gunning for a couple of more guys. Theus was the first OL commit and we're probably looking to take at least 5 or 6.

I want to know how Jordan Jenkins visit goes. I think we have a real shot with him.

His top three will include Bama and UGA, what I'm hearing.

The 6-foot-3, 232-pound Henry rushed for 2,788 yards and 39 touchdowns as a sophomore and 2,465 yards as a freshman :ohmy::ohmy::ohmy:

One of the top projected prospects in the state of Florida for 2013 has committed to Georgia.

Running back Derrick Henry committed to UGA as a part of Friday's DawgNight. Quarterback Brice Ramsey, another UGA committed, confirmed the news on Henry to Dawgs247.

“I really like Coach Richt,” Henry told the Florida Times-Union. “The Georgia coaches did a great job telling me how they would use me. They don’t have many running backs, so I feel I can go there and make an impact right away.”

Henry told the newspaper his commitment is solid.

“I wouldn’t be doing this so early if I wasn’t sure," he said.

Henry has rushed for 5,210 yards and 61 touchdowns the past two seasons and drew rave reviews at recent camps.

Here is what 247 national analyst Barton Simmons wrote of Henry nine days ago ... "Derrick Henry from Yulee (Fla.) High School is a running back at 6-3, 232 pounds. That in itself is impressive but when a back can run the 40 in 4.45 seconds and vertical over 38 inches at that size, that’s just not fair."

Henry comes on board for '13

I could tell from the vid that he was fast, but DAMN. 4.45 at that size? Holy crap.

Jordan Jenkins has narrowed it down to three - Alabama, Georgia and Florida.

Hey Hob... this doesnt really pertain to UGA recruiting, but how is 247 sports vs the competition? Just curious.

I've cancelled my sub to Rivals, if that tells you anything. The quality of the reporting is far and away better than the others, Rusty and Gentry are the best in the business, imo. The message boards are so much better than the dawgvent it's ridiculous, and the posters there are all civil and intelligent.

As an added bonus, they're honoring subscriptions to other sites, so if you're currently a member of one of the other sites they'll bring you on for free for the rest of your current membership term.

Chester Brown, big-ass Samoan lineman out of Hinesville has committed to Georgia. He's been off the radar but won't be for much longer. He's 6'6", 335 lbs and very athletic for his size. He earned his offer at Dawg night this past weekend and committed today.

I think Dasher, Adams and Radi do a great job of reporting... fantastic actually. But yeah, the message board itself is a cesspool.

Sometimes they do but they're also prone to reporting misinformation that they haven't adequately verified.
