quote:

I really hate to say this,” Drew said, “but I took my visit to Miami because I knew John was going to be there.”
Drew tracked down Jenkins in Miami and soon was asking him what the defensive tackle liked about the University of Georgia. Though Jenkins initially thought Drew was working for the Hurricanes staff and was spying on him, the two hit it off.
“By the end, John pulled me aside and asked me if I was going to Georgia for sure,” said Drew. “I said yes, and he told me that he’d see me there.”

Three weeks later, Drew not only officially committed to the University, but also challenged Jenkins and still undecided running back Isaiah Crowell to join him in Athens.
“‘Come join what we’re putting together, the Dream Team,’” Drew said at the time. “‘But remember, a dream is only a dream until you make it reality.’”
For the most part, last year’s recruiting class has lived up to its potential. Crowell has earned multiple SEC Freshman of the Week honors while rushing for more than 100 yards in three of his five games.
Mitchell leads the team in receptions and yardage and Jenkins had a breakout game against Mississipi State with three tackles and a sack.
“It was nice, having an already established relationship when we ended up here together,” Jenkins said. “All of us are like a great big posse.”

Also, for those wondering why we haven't seen much of Drew, here's at least one reason:
quote:

Faloughi, a former walk-on, insisted that when called upon, any one of Georgia’s outside linebackers could replace Washington effectively.
“Everyone’s trying to practice really hard this week, including me,” he said. “Ray’s been a little slow to catch up to the system but he’s adjusting well, and could even play a good bit Saturday.
Richt did not rule out the possibility of Drew getting an opportunity against the Volunteers Saturday.
“It’ll be an opportunity for him,” Richt said. “He’ll be part of the mix as far as our discussion. Will Ray be the sole beneficiary of that playing time or part beneficiary of it? I don’t know. That’s what we gotta decide here this evening and then some if it may be decided as we practice.”


quote:

Drew said he can be part of the mix to help the Georgia defense continue to build upon last week’s four-sack, pressure-filled performance.
“One of the strengths in my game is my pass rush game,” Drew said. “I’ve just been wanting to prove that I belong here, especially going from a 4-3 [in high school] to a 3-4.

i hope he sees major playing time tomorrow. washington's role was mainly pass rushing and drew would be a strong substitute for that... someone like stripling is more a drop back pass protection guy.

still, i doubt he'll start tomorrow. sounds like faloughi or stripling.

Anybody who kept up with it knew he was a stone cold Georgia lock. I and other Georia people had said it for MONTHS.

And I think his shoulder injury set him back a little more than we were originally led to believe, which has contributed to his lack of minutes. But with Washington out he should absolutely see minutes tomorrow.

Looks like it's going to stay just a dream.

There's no way stripling starts. It'll be Reuben or Vasser, with my money being on Vasser.

I think every "dream" team that hasn't won anything outside of the Olympic team with Jordan, etc, hasn't done anything.

Looks like the Eagles are going to be next on that list.

Yep that's exactly what ray sounds like when he makes dumbass statements like the one he did. If he wanted to be on a real dream team he would have gone to Florida, lsu, Alabama, or auburn. Not to uga to lose to frickin Boise st. Saweeeeeeeet dream team!! frickin losers.

if your posts didn't come off like a vengeful teenager, were actually insightful instead of full on flame, and exhibited the least bit of football knowledge then it would be fun arguing with you. sadly you fail to meet any of the criterion so i must now lower myself to this level of flaming

DER AUBURN DUN DID CHEAT DURRR WHY WOULD RAY DREW WANNA PLAY FOR A TEAM THAT IS GUNNA GET DAT DER DEATH PENALTY HERPITY DERPITY frickING DOO

Lol you know it's true. I'm not flaming shite. Ray looks like a dumbass saying they are a dream team. Just how I thought Vince young was stupid. You just don't say that kind of shite before you ever even play a game.

I also wasnt aware I was trying to show any football knowledge in my posts just showing what a dumbass ray is. You'd think he'd know when to open his mouth and when not to, being a minister.

i mean dream team is what the media coined it or what richt coined it or w.e. idc how lame it is cause it got us a solid damn class and so far chris conley, damian swann, isaiah crowell, ray drew, malcom mitchell, amarlo herrara, and others have contributed. some in lesser ways, others are vital.

the idea is the dream team will win a title before they leave athens so i mean they have 3-4 more years to do that so we can't call it dumb yet. also, ray drew is a pretty smart guy, total goof ball, but has a solid head on his shoulders. i have no qualms with what he said

Guess if R.Drew may only get a few minutes against U.T. He is not the 2nd coming of Lee Roy Jordan after all?
