Examining Georgia's Most Needed Recruit

As we head into Wednesday, I have started thinking back on the season and how, actually, surprisingly good it really was. Sure, we had two bookend losses, and we need a ton of work, but - after 2010 - the 2011 season was definitely the start of an upswing.

With recruiting, Georgia has really tried to hammer home some big needs. The first need was the glowing hole that is the starting running back position at Georgia. We desperately needed quality and depth - and we got it with Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley. Both of those guys are HUGE pick ups for Georgia and will help tremendously come fall.

However, in my opinion, our biggest weakness in the past 5-6 years has been the offensive line. For a million reasons - from injuries to poor player evaluations to player development - Georgia really has not had a "stellar" offensive line group. Georgia's lack of depth at OL and their lack of a true OT was exposed during the biggest games of the season. This recruiting season, it is very important that Georgia gets some good, quality OL prospects.

Already on board at 5-star OT, John Theus, JUCO OL, Mark Beard, and OL Greg Pyke. While I am very excited about those 3 guys, I would absolutely be giddy if Georgia was able to bring in Avery Young. Although he is not as polished as Theus and would need some bulk work, his frame is a prototypical OT. He has the height and arm-span to really be a productive, elite OT. If he can get some weight added, he could shore up his biggest weakness - which is the vulnerability to a direct bull rush.

So, while we will definitely be hoping for the likes of Josh Harvery-Clemons, Cordarrelle Patterson, JaQuay Williams, Brandon Greene, and Josh Dawson - I will definitely be waiting with eager anticipation on Avery Young's decision. Should he decide to come to Georgia, it will give the Dawgs the immediate, quality depth needed to really be a player in next year's national championship hunt. He will need some work, but I definitely feel that our depth chart will give him a chance to play immediately.
