Henry County's Jamal Patterson, one of the nation's top prospects at wide receiver with nearly 50 offers, said two of his official visits will be to Central Florida and Stanford. Patterson, an AJC Super Southern 100 selection, said his remaining three visits will be decided between Florida, Tennessee, Clemson, Auburn, and Oregon.

Did you ever think about going to GEORGIA? How many does this make where Georgia's elite high school athletes are jumping the border for another school.

We can't sign them all. Mark Richt and staff have done a very good job at keeping in state talent, much better than their predecessors. Here's hoping this kid lives to regret snubbing the Dawgs, though.

50 offers, and he is considering Central Florida and Stanford??? That seem ODD to anyone else?

August 5, 2008  10:07 AM ET

Hairball! Hairball! Hairball! Hairball!
He's our man
If he can't do it ... it's because he's an idjit a -hole.

Yes, it does.

With AJ Green, and Tavarres King he probably is concerned about the immediate playing time and what kind of playing time he would have coming to Georgia the next couple of years. I wouldn't look for any big name WRs to choose UGA this year because those 2 are studs and should be getting the majority of the passes the next 2-3 years before they go pro.

I am sick and tired of this kid. I just read an article where he is really leaning towards Central Florida. So, what's the deal?

Academics is probably why he is considering UCF. Really no reason to go there except for the fact he will start as a Freshman where he may have to wait 2 years somewhere else. Some guys like the competition but not too much if you know what I mean.

Yeah, well then how could he possibly be in the running for Stanford? That's a hard school. There's a world of difference between Central Florida and Stanford. I know people who teach at both and they are light years apart.

Doubt he could get in to Stanford. I know some very smart people who went to other Ivy Leagues and could not get into Stanford. But if he did get into Stanford all the better for him. Should the NFL be his goal Stanford is probably not the greatest place to go as of late.

I personally know Jamal. This young man is a stand up young fellow. He has the right to make any choice he wants. If he choose to go to ARMY that would be his choice. STOP THE HATE. Most of you all have never stepped foot on a football field unless you were cheerleaders. You all sound just like a cheerleader that just had a bad date. Just wish the young man the best. Good luck with your choice Jamal. I will follow you no matter where you goes. GOLDEN EAGLES !!!!!!!

Actually once you get into Stanford, staying there is much easier. For years, Stanford had a "no fail" policy. From 1970 to 1996, not a single F was given at the school. In 1996, F's were again allowed to be awarded to students but few were. Now, they have adopted a pass/fail grading policy. The university says it will allow greater flexibility in evaluating student work. That's double talk for "we're going back to a no fail policy".

When did this nonsense start where if you criticize someone you're a "hater"? This "You're a hater" is infantile and sounds more at home on a elementary school playground then on a forum supposedly made up of adults.

August 6, 2008  11:01 AM ET

Here's what I hope for this kid.

If he wants to play for a program on the rise with the best chance to make the pros then he should go to UCF where he can start immediately and get some national exposure without facing too much competition.

If he wants to get the best education ever then he should go to Stanford where he can make his millions as an executive once he gets out.

If he goes to UF, UGA or UT he will probably see limited action as the competition is rough and get a good education but nothing like at Stanford.

Whatever he decided good luck to him. He's lucky to have so many choices.

I agree SEC fan...but if he wants to shine among stars...he'll be a GATOR.
