I will wholeheartedly agree that Richt is a special guy, and
has 100% of my respect as a person, but to commit to UGA just because
the coaching staff showed you some love? This was either a lonely kid
looking for a family or someone who just didn't understand what it
means to be a gator. Go ahead and trash the drawers. You're not
worthy to wear them anyway. Randy ----- Original Message -----

FOOTBALL RECRUIT TRASHES UNDIES AFTER COMMITTING TO GEORGIA

Marc Deas, a 6-foot-1, 185 pound safety/linebacker prospect out of
Osceola High School in Kissimmee, Fla., used to love the Florida
Gators.
But, he now has one less pair of boxers because he came to Athens
and fell in love, committing to Georgia and head coach Mark Richt a
little more than three weeks ago at the G-Day game.
"I hate them already," Deas said. "I used to be a huge Florida
fan. And I had some Florida drawers that I used to wear, but since I
committed to Georgia, I threw them away in the trash can."
And all it took was a little Southern hospitality and a game
between the hedges for Deas to quickly realize the errors of his
ways.
"Just the environment that I was in. It was a special environment.
It's kind of different from where I'm at now in Kissimmee. It's a
mix from all over from New York to Puerto Rico," he said. "When you
go to Athens, its country over there, and you really get a feel of
Southern hospitality. And just with the program itself, with the
tradition and history, it really doesn't get any better than that and
I fell in love. It was pretty much love at first sight."
After he "fell in love," he immediately committed, allowing him to
enjoy the G-Day game and the love of the Bulldog Nation.
"G-Day was awesome. I loved it," he said. "I committed that
morning and it got out to thousands of fans, and they showed love,
too, welcoming me into the Dog Family and Dog Nation, so it was real
nice. I even signed autographs, so it was crazy, a real good
experience."
A month ago, Deas' grandmother passed away. When the Georgia
coaching staff learned the news, Deas was shocked as to how
supportive they were to his family - especially his primary
recruiter, linebackers coach John Jancek,.
"I've been going through some things, family things, with my
grandmother passing away and it showed that he's a really good man
and not just him, but the whole coaching staff," Deas said. "They
gave me their condolences and just wanted to see how [we] were
doing and to give us the support that we needed. They're real cool
people."
And those are qualities on the coaching staff that Deas believes
start with the head coach.
"Coach [Mark] Richt, he's a million-dollar man. I'm not talking
about money - I'm talking about heart," he said. "He's a real special
guy. It's hard to find at college, and he's a real special man not
just as a college coach, but as a person. He has a real big heart,
and you could see it just by talking to him in a quick
conversation. There's just something special about him, and I think
it's because of his faith."
