It may be a stretch, but if this is one of his constant plugs to recruits, then he may be pushing the lines of the separation between church and state. Richt is an employee of a college that receives both local, state, and federal monies. If, as a employee of that institution,he is representing certian religious views while in official duties for that institution, he would be in violation this provision. If he is doing it outside his official duties, then he is free to do so. Any thoughts?

separation of church and state deals only with the institution of the state presenting one religion as superior (or inferior) to others...the right of public officials and state employees to espouse their own personal beliefs is allowed as long as those beliefs in no way can be viewed as detrimental to any other religion...ie richt using God as a recruiting tool is allowed as long as he doesn't say that his God is superior to all others and doesn't allow athletes of other faiths to openly practice their religions. it's not unsimilar to a politician stating that he is a christian during the campaign trail, it serves more as a show of character than a championing of any particular religious doctrine. that being said i think that richt is a douche who is preying on the spirituality of teenagers for his own benefit.:the_finger:

"I don't know right now," Hurst said. "I'm going to cut it down in a few weeks. I want to make my decision before my first game in August so it's important to start narrowing it down now."

"The thing I like about it is seeing each place and see what they are all about," Hurst said. "Most are the same, but there are one or two things at each school that set the school apart from the others. I don't like that there isn't time away from the process. There really isn't any down time to get away and just have fun. People are always calling, but it's still a good position to be in."

"I'm curious to see what they can do," Hurst said. "They got talented coaches and talented players. I'm excited to see what happens this year with this whole new coaching staff. We sat down and I tried to learn the basics about there offense."

"I was really impressed by their recruiting class," Hurst said. "The more they talked about it, the more I learned. It was impressive. They have some really good running backs coming in. And being a lineman, I always want to block for good running backs. Like I said. I talk to them throughout the day and it was impressive."

"I want to go back and feel everything out one more time," Hurst said.

When he narrows it down, he's gonna go back out and check out all of his finalists one more time...

I don't think so. All signs are poiting that it's not Hurst or Stone. The other name that has been thrown around is Chaz Green who will be on campus today...

I still think its Stone. If you look at all his past articles, the kid hasn't raved about any of his visits so you really can't tell where he leaning towards and since he's taken multiple visits here I think its him.

since he's not raving about any visits, what makes you think that he would commit so early in the process?

Stone is an awfully big prospect with alot of hype all over the country. I just don't see him committing this early. I believe we might snag the Green kid. In the end if we get Stone, Hurst, Green, and a few more, that would be an impressive oline incoming class!

I was saying that he was going to commit early, there was a rumor going on GQ that an OL was close to commiting, and i was saying that if its true, i believe it's stone. It's JMO anyway.

The rumor is that it's because Saban didn't offer James' brother. The family is still mad about it. Don't know how true that is...

James Hurst has narrowed his focus to a top five schools. They are (in no particular order) Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State, Ohio State, and North Carolina. I had heard going into the interview that Notre Dame and Alabama were both in the running. That is no longer the case. Specifically with the Irish, Hurst said he had a great relationship with former ND o-line coach John Latina. Once he was let go, Notre Dame started falling out of the mix with Hurst.

WTF! How does Georgia keep getting listed. I just don't understand how a top lineman can not seriously consider TN with our current depth chart. Not to mention getting a chance to block for Bryce Brown.

It is a shame to be significantly behind in the process with such a good player in such an area of need for us, especially because he is still very interested in UGA and UF

how are we "significantly behind in the process" ?

He has visited...what more do you expect at this point?

I don't think we have anything to worry about - despite Hurst saying that he wants to narrow things down, make a decision, and not visit any schools after committing. Have a look at the evidence:

1) Teague
2) NuKeese

Stolen from Florida

3) Jackson

Stolen right out from underneath LSU

4) Brown

The #1 recruit in the country swiped even with the staff having gotten (arguably) the latest start possible in recruiting a player.

All with a brand new staff, I might add.

These guys know what they're doing, they know how to play the game. And we've still got their first season to watch. Let's sit back, and enjoy the ride.
