Posted: Tuesday March 11, 2008 06:11AM ET

North Gwinnett (Ga.) quarterback Mike Tamburo, who has a scholarship offer from Tulsa, is being heavily recruited by schools such as Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, East Carolina, Michigan State, South Carolina, South Florida, Tennessee, Texas Tech and Vanderbilt.

It's Hot!

Rank: 1

It's Not!

Unless his Uncle is a Dean at Tulsa, I think he may be going elsewhere (i.e. AL, AU, TN, SF, SC, Vandy).

Report Offensive Comment

He's staying in the SEC. That's just a good assumption.

Report Offensive Comment

Don't go to Alabama!! Saban is a jerk.

Report Offensive Comment

Not saying he is bad. But can he be that good if schools in his own state are not going after him?

Report Offensive Comment

Maybe not BR549. He's probably outside of Georgia's league and not a QB that would succeed in Johnson's offense at Tech.

Those other schools aren't bad.

Report Offensive Comment

With all that competition, I know somebody who's going to get laid on recruiting trips . . .

Report Offensive Comment

J Hova - Good point.

Report Offensive Comment

The Vols would be perfect for this kid

Report Offensive Comment

Trust me. Tamburo is not out of Georgia's league. We are recruiting and getting commitments from much better QBs. Tamburo is, IMO, just an above average QB. East Carolina, Michigan State, Vandy? Teams that exactly don't strike fear into the heart's of CFB fans.

Report Offensive Comment

No they do not strike fear into fans. I'm not from Georgia. I was just going off of BR549's assumption.

Report Offensive Comment

Just come on in to 'Bama, and roll.

Report Offensive Comment

ok, wait a minute? Maybe I'm reading this wrong? Out of Georgia's league? You mean the same UGA that pulls down a Top 5 or 10 recruiting class EVERY year, the same UGA that's preseason #1 and finished last year #2, the same UGA that pulled Matt Stafford, the #1 prep QB a few years ago? The only teams that are "out of Georgia's league" play on Sundays. Otherwise, we're pretty much sitting at the top of the collegiate "league".

Report Offensive Comment

Yea I would have to agree. I don't really think any player is out of UGA's league. They are notoriously year in and year out one of the top football programs. I hate UGA, but I won't deny the fact that they are good.
On top of all that, it really is not that unusual for bigger schools to recruit outside of their own states, especially when they are so close to other powerhouse high school football states like Florida and Texas.

GO TO OHIO STATE. OSU FOREVER LOYAL FOREVER ROYAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Report Offensive Comment

Calm down UGA fans. What I meant was that this kid is below Georgia's standards. BR549 was smart enough to know what I was saying. Too bad MajDawg1 was not.

Report Offensive Comment

OK, ok..."outside of Georgia's league" led to misinterpretation. You're back on my Christmas card list...although there is that "smart enough" comment.
GO DAWGS!!!

Report Offensive Comment

UGA doesn't need him hah, they know he cant start for a powerhouse program like theirs. Besides, Stafford is around for 2 more years, the Dawgs won't want to go after a big time QB until Stafford is senior. (meaning a true freshman could come in and start that next year).

Report Offensive Comment

Nah, UGA will recruit a QB probably after this coming season, redshirt 'em, and send the QB on the field. At least, that's my prediction. Georgia also has Logan Gray, one year under Stafford. He's got a good history as far as High School goes. But with that, of course Georgia would still need to seek some depth.

Report Offensive Comment

UGA should go ahead and recruit him or another top QB NOW. Stafford stinks and having more competition at that position will either push up his performance or push him out of the way.

Ramblin gator, I know you only said that Stafford sucks because he has beat GT the last two years (& Georgia has beat Tech 7 straight). Oh yeah and he beat Gaytors last year, and lead UGA to #2 ranking. I can see how you can say he sucks. Maybe your just not smart enough to know what a real QB looks like after watching all those great GT QB's through the years. (Reggie ball) what a joke.
