A taste of The Official Visit, 11/28/11

University of Georgia head coach Mark Richt put out a “Help Wanted” sign last week when he told reporters at his news conference “There’s a tremendous opportunity at the University of Georgia for running backs in this class to come to Georgia and make a big impact.” Under NCAA rules, Richt isn’t allowed to address recruits by name but many feel he was directly speaking to Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, both of North Carolina. Marshall announced last week via Twitter that he would reveal his choice in early December and Gurley recently took in a game Between the Hedges in Athens.

The North Carolina State Wolfpack is starting to discover the cornucopia of football prospects that is the state of Georgia after snagging their fourth Peach State pledge of the 2012 class. Jarnor Jones of ML King High School in Lithonia, announced that he would play defensive back for the Wolfpack next season. He had previously committed to Middle Tennessee State. NC State has also commitments from running back Shad Thornton (Hinesville), defensive back Niles Clark (Marietta) and wide receiver Charlie Hegedus (Marietta).

Tajarvis Fuller the LB/DB from Fort Myers, Florida, may be back in the Miami camp after Ron Zook’s dismissal from Illinois. Fuller was extremely excited to receive an offer earlier this year from the Hurricanes but surprised many when he committed to Zook. Iowa State and Maryland remain interested, and Fuller holds 16 offers.
