Cordy Glenn: UGA lands No. 24

Mark Richt and the UGA Bulldogs will be sitting around this Thanksgiving holiday eating turkey, drinking wine and just generally being merry. Georgia fans, however, may not even watch the annual tilt between the Dawgs and the Ramblin' Wreck of Georgia Tech. All eyes will be fixed north to the Bluegrass state. If Kentucky can knock off Tennessee it means a bus ride to the ATL and a shot at #1 ranked LSU for the SEC title.

A title Georgia may have already wrapped up, however, is the SEC recruiting title for the 2008 class. Georgia has very few holes in this class and one small hole was filled by a not-so-small offensive lineman. Cordy Glenn (6-6, 315 lbs), from Riverdale HS (Riverdale, GA), makes the 24th commitment for Richt and the Bulldogs. O-Line was one area that the staff felt needed to be addressed. While still waiting for Zebrie Sanders, the big offensive tackle from Ohio, to make his decision, Richt was glad to hear from Glenn.

Cordy Glenn is a beast. Once this big offensive lineman locks onto a defender, he is going for ride. And it normally does not end well for Mr. Defender, who is normally laying on his back with a 6-6, 315 pounder on top. He is almost impossible to disengage from. He has quick enough feet and decent athleticism for his size.

One thing the big kid will need to work on is maintaining his pad level. Because Glenn is so overpowering at the point of attack, he sometimes just mauls people to the ground with poor technique. If he can keep his focus on firing off low while consistently playing with good balance he will be a star at the next level.

Now, before Alabama fans go crazy here, in my first ever Unofficial BCS Team Recruiting Rankings, I actually ranked Alabama 3rd in the nation and UGA 4th. If names like Julio Jones, William Green, Chris Tolliver, Jerrell Harris, Chris Jordan jump on the Cruise De Saban then Alabama will probably win the SEC recruiting crown.

Mark Richt sure is making it interesting though. If Sanders commits (its down to FLA and UGA) then Georgia and Alabama should finish atop their divisions respectively and absolutely in the top-10 if not the top-5.
