Twitter goes crazy as former UGA HC Mark Richt visits Georgia Tech

Former Georgia Bulldog and Miami Hurricane head coach Mark Richt visited Georgia Tech and wore Yellow Jackets gear.

For Georgia Bulldog fans who aren’t aware, former Georgia Bulldog and Miami Hurricane head coach Mark Richt works for the ACC Network. As a part of his job, he’s getting more familiar with every program in the ACC conference.

Fortunately for Richt, he does not have to endure the rigorous schedule associated with visiting all fourteen SEC programs. Instead, he is getting more familiar with all fourteen teams in the ACC throughout the spring and before the season in August. Richt outlined his plan via Twitter:

Georgia fans can breath a sigh of relief. Their former head coach wasn’t going to visit hated rival Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets just for fun. Before visiting Atlanta, Richt saw Clemson’s elite program:

Now, Richt is learning more about the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets well ahead of the 2020 college football season. It’s strange seeing Richt wear the opposition’s colors:

These pictures alone were enough to trigger Georgia Bulldogs Twitter into having a field day:

Georgia football offers scholarship to four-star 2021 Miami commit

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to four-star offensive guard Laurence Seymore, a 2021 Miami Hurricanes commitment.

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to Laurence Seymore, a 2021 Miami Hurricanes commitment. Kirby Smart and Matt Luke are showing interest in Seymore, who is a four-star offensive guard.

Seymore plays high school football at Miami Central High School. Georgia has already offered his high school teammate, who is a four-star running back, Amari Daniels. He’s been committed to Miami for almost two years now. Laurence Seymore’s original commitment to the Hurricanes came on March 31st, 2018.

That long commitment won’t stop the Dawgs from offering him a scholarship. Seymore was excited to receive an offer from the University of Georgia:

Seymore plays in a difficult division of high school football and will be battle tested when he heads off to college. Miami Central has produced numerous NFL players including Vikings RB Dalvin Cook, Cincinnati OG John Miller, and Atlanta RB Devonta Freeman.

Seymore is 6’1.5″, 290 lbs, so he doesn’t have ideal height. He may continue to grow as he is only a junior in high school.

There are two reasons why UGA has a decent shot at Seymore:

  1. The recent trend of elite Florida talent leaving the state for Georgia, Clemson, and Alabama.
  2. The vast amount of de-commitments Miami has received over the past couple recruiting classes.

We’ll keep you updated on his recruiting progress.

Look: former UGA HC Mark Richt has hot dog delight for birthday

Former Georgia Bulldogs and Miami Hurricanes coach Mark Richt currently works for the ACC Network.

Former Georgia Bulldogs and Miami Hurricanes coach Mark Richt currently works for the ACC Network. Richt still weighs in on important issues in college football, like the recent surge in transfers.

Richt may be done with coaching, but you never know. Richt cited health issues as a reason for his retirement. He seems to be enjoying retirement.

In fact, Richt celebrated his 60th birthday on February 18th! He ate hot dog delight to celebrate:

Hot dog delight would not be my choice as a birthday dinner. What exactly is hot dog delight anyways?

Well, let Mark Richt describe the recipe:

Is this a ‘delightful’ birthday dinner idea or not something you’d roll with? It makes us wonder if Richt ever shared the recipe with players at UGA or Miami.

Who is Lawrence Cager’s NFL player comparison?

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Lawrence Cager, a transfer from Miami, projects as a mid-late round NFL Draft selection.

The Georgia Bulldogs really benefited from the transfer of former Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Lawrence Cager in 2019. The struggle was real for UGA without his as the Dawgs lost both their games when he was injured or limited.

Cager is a dominant possession receiver, who should succeed at winning jump balls at the NFL level. Cager was a joy to watch in Athens and NFL.com compares him to current Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Justin Watson.

Justin Watson played college football at the University of Pennsylvania. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected him in the 5th round of the 2018 NFL Draft. That’s around where Lawrence Cager is projected to be selected. Cager has some medical issues entering the combine and must run a fast 40 yard dash.

Watson caught 15 passes for 159 yards and a pair of TDs for Tampa Bay this season. Will Cager have success like Watson in the NFL? Cager can immediately make an impact in the red zone, but much of his production will depend on quarterback play.
