Cedar Shoals linebacker DeDe Lattimore has scheduled an official visit to Oklahoma State on Nov. 29 to watch the Cowboys take on Oklahoma. "He is very interested in Oklahoma State," Cedar Shoals coach Xarvia Smith said. "He likes what they have to offer, and they are a program on the rise." Lattimore, a 6-foot-1, 225-pound member of the AJC's The Georgia 150, has nearly 15 offers, including Kentucky, Michigan and Louisville. Smith said despite playing five miles from UGA's Sanford Stadium, Lattimore has no desire to attend UGA. "I'm not sure why, he just doesn't want to go to UGA," he said.

What a non-story!!! Georgia has not offered, or show ANY interest in this player....if they did, he might change his mind, but they won't offer him. Along the same lines, Sarah Palin has announced she's not interested in being Barrack Obama's Chief of staff....wow, what a waste of space this story took up!

Yeah come to Ann Arbor. Its 9-0 over Minnesota right now and I saw a Justin Feagin sighting.

If this team could beat the Gophers it might make a bad season better. If not for just a day.

Wow, he wants to go to the 3rd or 4th best team in the Big 12 South when he could compete for SEC championships every year. I wonder what his test scores are?

Who can blame him for wanting to get out of his home town, I'd sure want to. I live in Athens, and it's a great town, but I'd want to get away.

Mind you, I'd try for UCLA or something, not Dirtbowl, Oklahoma.

DeDe's a beast but UGA didnt offer him a scholarship. Go Dawgs, Go Cedar Shoals Jaguars (We're in the playoffs)!!!

I don't blame him. Who wants to spend 4 years underachieving and getting blown out by other teams in your conference?

Uh, what do you think the history of Oklahoma State is? Is someone from Hawaii still upset from last year?

You're right. OSU is hardly a perrenial power. But u gotta admit UGA recruits top notch players every year yet they lose to teams they should beat and their record vs Florida is horrendous

Hey rlodewell and dfwpjc, watch your comments about Dirtbowl, Oklahoma. I believe both teams are ranked higher than the Georgia chumpdogs.

Nice English. I assume you have an Oklahoma education as well?

Relax, the cowboys and dawgs will settle this in Stillwater on opening weekend in '09.

the kid probably just wanted to get away. I know that's what I wanted to do after high school.

November 9, 2008  11:28 AM ET

you're not even the best team in your state much less your side of the division! Don't talk too much...

November 9, 2008  02:13 PM ET

But most folks that play for high schools in athens (clarke central and cedar shoals) do want to leave athens though.
