“Canion noted that he grew up around Georgia fans, making it easy for him to commit when the Georgia staff came calling this offseason. He’s now expected to be Georgia’s top wide receiver entering the upcoming season.”
While this may be true, it’s the first time I’ve seen this. The previous info seemed to indicate London Humphries might be that guy. But apparently, as of today, Canion is that guy. Of course, we need both to be really good along with 2-4 other WRs.

Very "Smart" to recruit as many native Georgia blue chippers as possible. Loyalty to their home state and their familiies and friends there will help retain them as they move up the depth roster when others might entertain the transfer portal. UGA should maintain a sophisticated program to network all Georgia high school coaches througout the year. Many times these coaches are instrumental in helping the pllayer make his college decision. We should all be proud to field a team that has a huge Georgia native contingent. How many of Indiana's players grew up in Indiana? Right…
