Speaking of decommits, I was checking out Marshall's unusually high Top 60 recruiting class and from the top it was a series of partial qualifiers who decommitted from SEC schools and are going to Marshall instead of JUCO. These days the BCS schools won't mess around with a player if he can't qualify and will take a few 2 star guys with the grades if they fit the need.
"Gant's reasons for the switch were tied to academics rather than a desire to de-commit, according to Keith DeMyer, his coach at Lake Gibson High School. Gant officially visited Marshall this past weekend.
"There were way too many ifs in his situation for Georgia," DeMyer said. "As much as he wanted to go (to UGA) -- and believe me it was a tear-jerking decision for him -- he just had to make a decision that was best for him down the road."
Gant can enroll in Marshall as a partial qualifier. Had he chosen to sign with Georgia, he would have wound up attending junior college, DeMyer said."
