UGA's Rodney GARNER keeps on bringin the RECRUITS!

It would appear maybe the recruiting side of Rodney Garner's job might be a tad easier this year.
Georgia may give less than 20 scholarships; five of those are already filled and a few more are tantalizingly close to being filled. So maybe Garner could get a minute or two of relaxing time to spend with the six women in his life - his wife and five daughters.

RELATED STORIES

Not a chance, Georgia's recruiting coordinator said.
"You have to work harder," Garner said.
There are several reasons for this, he said.
The first is that Georgia is not exactly sure how many scholarships it may have.
"There is always attrition," he said.
So while Georgia may not have the scholarship to give now, it could have it in the future. But other schools are able to tell recruits that they have a spot for them right now. Georgia has to hedge its bets when it comes to recruiting between 20 and 25 players.
"It's a Catch-22," Garner said.
Georgia wants those players, may even need those players, but it can only offer so many scholarships or it might find itself in a pinch like Clemson. Clemson oversigned its class and was forced to not renew Atlanta native Ray Ray McElrathbey's scholarship. (Scholarships are given on a year-by-year basis.)
Bulldogs coach Mark Richt has always said that once a player signs at Georgia, that player's scholarship is good for all four or five years. So Richt and Georgia do not want to get themselves into a situation where they would oversign.
That means having to tell recruits to hold on before they commit. Not many 17-year-old have that type of patience.
It becomes even more difficult when considering specific positions. Take linebacker. Georgia has two committed - Dexter Moody from ECI and Chase Vasser from Chestatee. Vasser committed right after Moody because he had been told there were only two spots for linebackers and he wanted one of those. But Georgia is also extremely interested in Jarvis Jones from Columbus Carver.
Georgia already has several young linebackers in the program. The strongside linebacker spot is becoming less and less utilized in defensive game plans, and the Bulldogs have a possible overflow of talent at that position.
But, then again, what if someone transfers, fails out or is removed from school?
"You think you may not have a spot at that position but then you may have one," Garner said.
But sometimes it is hard to know until it is too late.

David Archuleta's dad a kook?

Last night, Simon Cowell lashed out at someone after David Archuleta's performance, and we know who. A well-placed TMZ spy tells us Simon went after David's dad, Jeff, for the kid's song, "You're the Voice" by John Farnham. Simon said, "I don't think that is you at all and I'd be amazed if you chose the song yourself." Our spy says Simon was blaming the fiasco on daddy dearest, adding, "It's exactly where the gun was being aimed."As TMZ first reported, Jeff Archuleta is the ultimate nightmare stage dad who was so bad when David was a contestant on "Star Search" he got banned from the lot.Almost no one even heard of the song David sang. Simon said it sounded like David was singing something at a theme park -- which would make Daddy Jeff a real Dumbo.

BABY for sale on Craigs LIST?

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Police in Portland are investigating an ad posted on the popular Web site Craigslist featuring a baby for sale for $1,000.

The ad shows a baby covered in food or mud being held by an adult.

Text with the ad reads, "We are out of tweak and we will sell this baby for a thousand dollars." Tweak is another word for methamphetamine, Local 6 reported.

Lt. Dave Okada said detectives are trying to track down whoever posted the message.

"Whether it's a joke or truly serious, it is not funny," Okada said.

Nicholas Dunbar and his friends said they spotted the advertisement on Craigslist under the Salem-area "rants and raves" section and immediately called police.

Officers said if the ad is real, the baby is in danger.

AUBURN PLAYBOY models tell ALL!

Playboy photographers traveled throughout the Southeast this past spring to see hundreds of college girls audition for the 10-page “Girls of the SEC” section of the magazine. Thirty-eight girls from the 12 SEC schools, including four Auburn University girls, were selected and are featured in Playboy’s October issue.
Chanel Nielson, a senior in biomedical science, and Alyssa Tyler, a junior in fashion merchandising, were among the four Auburn students selected.
“It’s always been a dream of mine to do Playboy because it’s the biggest men’s magazine in the country,” said Nielson, who has been modeling four years. “The exposure you get is great because so many celebrities have done it.”
Tyler has no modeling experience, but was equally enthusiastic about the opportunity.
“It’s something that I always said I would like to do and never had the opportunity to do,” Tyler said. “I found out from a friend at the Opelika-Auburn News, and I went for it.”
Nielson said she found out about the Playboy auditions by chance. Some of her classmates told her about the Playboy photographers’ stop in Auburn during a lab.
The auditions were held in March at the Auburn University Hotel and Dixon Conference Center. Playboy staff instructed girls to fill out paperwork in one room and to be photographed in another.
Both girls said they thought they were going to be nervous at the audition, but they weren’t.
The next day, the girls received a call from Playboy.
“I saw the caller ID, and I was like ‘Oh my God! Yes!’” Nielson said. “I called like 10 people. I called my mom and my best friends immediately.”
Tyler said the caller asked what her plans were for the following Friday, and she replied she was going to the beach. The caller then asked Tyler if she would stay in town and attend a photo shoot for Playboy instead of going to the beach.
“I was really, really excited,” Tyler said. “I was kind of speechless.”
Tyler said her friends were also excited for her, but her mother believes she will regret modeling for Playboy.
Nielson’s mother, however, had the opposite reaction.
“My mother was probably more excited than me,” she said. Nielson said she is grateful for the support she has received from her friends, family and other people.
The following weekend, Nielson and Tyler, along with fellow Auburn students Lauren Lee and Britni Leigh, went back to the hotel to pose for the pictures that would be printed in the 10-page SEC girl section.
Nielson said again she was not nervous, but Tyler felt differently.
“I asked the three other girls at the hotel, ‘Are you guys nervous?’ and they said no, and I was like, ‘Well, I am,’” Tyler said.
Nielson said they spent almost an entire day at the photo shoot.
“It was long,” Nielson said. “Lauren and I did the shoot together. We got there at 12, and didn’t start until five. Then, it was an hour and a half of constant picture-taking.”
Tyler said the photographing process was easy and professionally-done.
“You would think it would be hard to undress in front of a camera, but it’s not,” Tyler said. “The photographers made me feel comfortable.”
Since the issue’s publication, both girls have been recognized by other people as “Girls of the SEC.”
“I am recognized at my job especially,” said Nielson, who works at Hooters.
Tyler is taking a break from school and is working as a cocktail waitress at The Wine Loft in Mobile, where she said she also is regularly recognized from Playboy although her name was misprinted in the magazine.
Tyler’s picture is paired with the name Brittney Brookwood and Brookwood’s information. The error has been corrected online.
Nielson also spotted a misprint in her information. The magazine says her ambition is to be a playmate, but she is actually going to school to be an obstetrician, she said.
All typos aside, Nielson said she enjoyed her experience with Playboy.
“I have no regrets,” Neilson said.
Playboy’s October issue hit newsstands Sept. 7, and is also available online at www.playboydigital.com.
Playboy has featured college pictorials for 31 years. The magazine last published a “Girls of the SEC” section in its October 2001 issue.

UGA cheerleader doing better after fall!

University of Georgia cheerleader Christine Conley may be released from the hospital as early as this afternoon following a fall during the Lady Bulldogs opening round NCAA Tournament game Sunday, said her mother.

"She is doing much better," Cheryl Conley said. "She will be OK and will recover."

Georgia cheerleader Christine Conley lies on the court after falling during a routine in the second half of the first round NCAA women's basketball tournament game between Georgia and Iowa in Norfolk, Va.

Conley was admitted to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital Sunday afternoon after hitting the back of her head on the hardwood court during a stunt being performed at the 14:18 mark of the second half. She was admitted to the Norfolk, Va., hospital for observation and to undergo tests.
Conley, a senior from Millen, lay on the floor for several minutes while medical personnel attended to her. Her head and neck were immobilized and then she was taken by stretcher off the floor. As she left the floor, Conley was able to lift her arm and wave to the crowd.
Her parents, Charles and Cheryl, made the drive from Millen Sunday night.
"We just had to rely on our faith during it," Cheryl said. "And she was doing OK when we saw her.

"She really wants to thank everybody for their calls and their prayers and their support," Cheryl said.

Walter HILL looking good for the Georgia football team!

Walter Hill's size, 6-4, has started to come into play at the wide receiver spot.
The former basketball player showed off his size and athleticism during a practice last week.

RELATED:• More UGA news

"He caught everything thrown his way,'' said Georgia coach Mark Richt. "He happened to be the guy who the ball got directed to all day."
But just catching it around Georgia is a big deal. The team lost two typically sure-handed receivers in Sean Bailey and Mikey Henderson. So there is a search to find guys who can pull in Matthew Stafford passes.

Hill proved he had what it took on one touchdown pass.

"The play he made in the end zone was big," Richt said. "It was a ball inside the five going in and a typical fade throw. The ball was put in a good spot and he gathered up, boxed him out and made the catch."

For Aron White, catching is the easy part these days. The redshirt freshman tight end is still working on becoming a solid blocker along the line. His size, 225-230 pounds, has a lot to do with his struggles.

"He is learning he is the kind of guy that is not going to whip anybody with brute force," Richt said. "He has got to learn to be a great technician. He has got to have great pad level and learn to be tenacious and just run your feet on these blocks."
Richt said in blocking situations the players wants to get a good initial stop on the rushing player. But eventually that rusher is going to try and come off the block.

"If the offensive player is athlete enough when that defender starts to go off in a direction, if you can keep you feet moving you can gain the power advantage," Richt said. "(White) has got to hope for a stalemate and when the defender goes to make the play he has got to stick on him, run his feet and make the play."

Etc...
Linebacker Darius Dewberry is scheduled to undergo surgery on his groin and will be out for an extended amount of time. The surgery is to release the tension on a tendon that has been problematic for Dewberry. He should be 100 percent in time for fall practice, Richt said.
Dewberry was one of the players who was crosstraining at strong and middle linebacker to make up for the injury to middle linebacker Marcus Washington (shoulder). Now the middle linebacker spot has Dannell Ellerbe as the starter and Darryl Gamble as the backup. Akeem Dent can play middle but is also at strongside linebacker. Redshirt freshman Charles White is third string at middle linebacker

Ryan SEACREST wants to take over the WORLD!

Don't bother accusing Ryan Seacrest of ambitiousness, megalomania or delusions of grandeur. Don't charge him with furtively plotting to become the next Dick Clark, either, once Dick has turned in his dimples. Seacrest is plotting, all right, but there's nothing furtive about it.
"One reason I started doing New Year's Eve on Fox five years ago was because I wanted to create the perception that I could be the next Dick Clark," says the 33-year-old host of Fox's "American Idol," television's megahit. " 'American Idol' is my 'American Bandstand.' Dick and I are actually partners in that New Year's Eve show."
Ryan Seacrest's secret plan to take over the world? Nothing secret about it. "I had a total, 100 percent strategy to be the Dick Clark for our generation," he says, "to be the Merv Griffin for our generation, to be the Larry King for our generation."
Whoa. What about our next Oprah Winfrey? Seacrest already went through his Casey Kasem phase, when he was 8 and making audio tapes in his bedroom. Other kids were playing dodgeball and little Ryan was plotting his career. "It was a blessing for me that I knew exactly what my path was when I was 9 years old," he says. "Everything I did, every detail, every step I took I knew was a step closer to what I wanted.
"I knew there'd be about 3 million steps, but I also knew I had to get through them."
As long as he's being the next this and the next that, how about aiming really, really high -- the Next Regis? That might be blasphemy. Besides, the current Regis would say he's too young to need a "next." Might today's Regis, however, see something of the young Regis in Seacrest and his savvy maneuvers?
"Well, Regis wasn't that lucky," Philbin says from his office in New York. "It was a different time" back then.
"Now there must be a hundred guys like Ryan Seacrest running around trying to break in and make it big in the business," Philbin says. "And this is the one that broke through. He's a guy who has trained himself and made it happen -- the right guy at the right time." Luck might have had something to do with it, but Seacrest was, and is, nothing if not determined.
Seacrest has become a household name at the whoosh speed of winners in the "Idol" talent hunt, except that no matter what happens, Seacrest comes back next week and next year. "We've got contracts that go this season and then two more years," he says of himself and the show's three judges: the I'm-so-hip Randy "Pitchy Dawg" Jackson, the breathlessly and sometimes nonsensically enthused Paula Abdul and the top-drawer, top-draw judge, snide Brit Simon Cowell, whose spatting with Seacrest is one of the show's decorative gimmicks.
Although "Seacrest" might sound like a waterfront retirement village, there's nothing remotely sleepy about him. It's not that he's multi-talented; he's anti-talented, not a performer but a professional "personality," the latest variation on a type as old as broadcasting: the guy who stands there and introduces the acts. He's a low-key cheerleader who keeps the show moving and, with the judges as natural foils, allies himself with the audience and the contestants, never threatening to upstage the performers, even if he could.
For all that, he stops mercifully short of outright sycophancy, a la Ed McMahon. Never a "You are correct, sir," even to Jackson. Part of the Seacrest shtick is coming across as a little too cool for his role, yet a good enough sport to play along. Seacrest isn't lovable, nor foolish enough to try to be. He's just aiming for tolerable -- bull's-eye.
What makes Ryan reign? If he's just a coldly calculating career-boy socking away as much dough as he can, there's certainly plenty to sock. He's paid an estimated $12.5 million annually just for hosting "Idol," not counting all the ancillary gigs he's lined up. Among them: a three-year, $21 million deal with E! Entertainment Network to host its special-event programming and take command of virtually all of E!'s "red-carpet" coverage -- and these days every dry cleaner in Los Angeles has a red-carpet opening. Not that Seacrest will show up any time an old moth-eaten red carpet is unrolled. He can be picky about his rugs.
There is oh so much more. The young man who's been included in People magazine's "100 Most Beautiful People," in Forbes's "The Celebrity 100" and declared new King of All Media by Details magazine has investments in eight Southern California restaurants, runs a half-dozen media companies and recently launched "The 'R' Line" of fashionable fashions -- "the new design project from Ryan Seacrest," though designer be he not.
Regardless, Seacrest's "stylish and accessible line of fashion is now available in stores," says the propaganda. And if there is a line of clothing, can a fragrance be far behind? "Seacrest" sounds like a natural for some peachy, beachy scent -- maybe a line of sheets and pillowcases, too. "I don't know everything, but I certainly want to try everything," says the ultra-acquisitive hotshot. "I've lived that way all my life, and it's gotten me this far."
Thus when asked whether there's anything about himself he'd like to change, he pauses longer than most of us would but finally says: "I'd like an eighth day of the week -- to go to the grocery store or take a walk on the beach, little things like that. Maybe go out and get some gas put in my cars since I don't have time." That's right, he's too busy to fill 'er up: "I have someone who fills my tank because my day is so crowded, I can't find 15 minutes to stop."
Seacrest does a daily five-hour radio show in Los Angeles. In April, he's taking three hours of that show national, via syndication, and as part of the deal -- a rather unprecedented part -- Seacrest's advertising company retains 10 minutes of the ad time on the show to sell on its own, so that the profit goes right back to Seacrest and not through any network or syndicator. Seacrest couldn't care less about rumors of his sexual relationships, because he keeps adding corporate relationships to his repertory. "Coca-Cola; that's a very good relationship. The strategy is to get them to spend dollars on our programs," he says cryptically.
"I have great relations with advertisers, so I started an advertising company to sell our own time in my shows and build that business up in the next couple of months. I have several of these little companies: Ryan Seacrest Productions, 'On Air With Ryan Seacrest,' which employs about 20 people; 'Top 40' radio has a staff of about 15; there's Sea Calm, which is the radio division; and Seacrest Sales, which is our sales division. I try to run it lean but efficient.
"The challenge for me is taking all these parts and figuring out how they can come together to make a big media company," he says. The next Rupert Murdoch? Combined with the next Walt Disney? Whatever it takes, he's ready to give it.
"A lot of people are complacent," Seacrest says. "They're happy with their jobs and can make a good living doing that. I'm not like that. I have 10 jobs. I never want to lose one. I also run my organization like a general. I'm involved in every contract, I read every word. I do like that -- I like the business."
It shouldn't be surprising, given all that, that Ryan Seacrest has now trademarked his own name. That's not part of an ego trip, he says: "The content of the shows and the platforms have 'Ryan Seacrest' as part of the title," hence making his name into a trademark.

When Seacrest says he wants to be the Dick Clark, Larry King and Merv Griffin for a new generation, he does seem to mean all of them at once -- and whomever else he can add to the list. He's guest-hosted for King on CNN and says Larry is quite comfortable with that: "If he ever goes, he's said that he'd like for me to take over," says Seacrest (Larry King -- go?). "I've hosted his show several times. He and I are very good friends. Very friendly. I know his whole story. I know Miami, Washington, Sinatra -- I've got all those stories. He is great. He's an American character.
"And he's been doing it so long."
Uh-oh. If you were Larry, would you take a sip from any glass that Ryan Seacrest handed you? But Seacrest says he and the aging, ailing Dick Clark are just as chummy: "When I do the Emmys, I always call Dick to talk about it," Seacrest says, and of course he and Clark have become a wholesome twosome hosting New Year's Eve from Times Square; the clock ticks away the hours until Seacrest handles the gig all by himself.
You'd be amiss if, based upon his omnipresence on the tube, you dismissed Ryan Seacrest as a ham, a camera hog, someone whose career path might seem to be leading straight toward acting, whether in TV or film. "No chance!" he shouts at that suggestion. "No chance! Performing is something that got me in the door. Building the company, acquiring assets, producing programs, creating them -- that is the most interesting stuff to me right now. I don't think a lot of people realize that about me. I front a lot of different programs; I front the E! News show because we have a production deal with that network and are producing shows for them and will share the ownership in those shows."
What a starry-eyed romantic!
He does have a sense of showmanship under all that palaver about profits and tie-ins and ratings, however. He confesses to having been too "robotic" when he started out as "Idol" host (actually co-host, with a partner since jettisoned from the show). "I did something in the second year that helped a lot," he says. "I took the IFB out of my ear." The IFB is a tiny earphone that pipes control-room chatter and guidance from the producer into his head. "I took it out so the control room could not speak to me during the show, at least when we were live, and that helped a lot.
"Then you're in the middle of it all, you can hear it all, and you can make decisions like a quarterback. If you want to go back to Paula, you go back to Paula. You're just constantly trying to stir the pot and make moments during that show so it's not always the same old thing."
Of course the pot that gets stirred the most, and results in the snottiest or sparkliest moments, is the one from which judge Simon Cowell gets his wisecracks and insults, the ones aimed at Seacrest as well as at the aspiring performers. "Those moments are pretty real," Seacrest says.
"Simon and I are very much alike -- very, very competitive, competing to get the last word in, and that's pretty genuine," Seacrest says. "However, after the show, we don't take anything with us; we can go and have a pizza and laugh about it. So we don't take anything personally. We have pretty thick skins. And I think our relationship, because we're so comfortable with each other, allows us to go there."
Frequently, Cowell's insults to Seacrest include sexual innuendo. "I just think he's got his well of clever statements, and that's probably the only well he can dip into right now," Seacrest says. Cowell sometimes intimates, with a smarmy grin, that Seacrest is sexually attracted to him. "You have to understand," Seacrest says. "Everything in Simon's life revolves around him, and he thinks everybody -- anybody, a plant, a tree, a woman, a man -- everybody wants to have an intimate relationship with Simon, because he is Simon. That's how his mind works."
It is suggested that with all his dough -- Cowell makes $42 million a year, Forbes magazine estimates, from "Idol" and other sources -- Cowell could afford to wear something classier than an undershirt and crummy old jeans. "He's a creature of habit," Seacrest says. "He eats the same food every day, he wears the same clothes every day, he spends his money on cars. I don't know that he's necessarily a fashionista, no. That box-cut haircut from 1982 has been out for quite a while now."
For all the gibes and jabs, Seacrest does have things in common with Cowell. Seacrest likes cars, too; he has a supercool Aston Martin ("the James Bond car," he notes); and he seems to thrive on, rather than resent, jokes about his sexual ambiguity. During the Super Bowl pregame show, one of the three color commentators described Seacrest (who hosted a vapid "red carpet" show as part of the festivities) as "one of those metrosexuals." Craig Ferguson, host of CBS's "Late Late Show," recently included in his monologue a joke about Seacrest that went like this: "Ryan admitted that he cried at Eva Longoria Parker's wedding," Ferguson said with a lubricious leer. "Hang in there, Ryan. Someday you'll find someone just like Tony."
"Tony" is Tony Parker, guard for the San Antonio Spurs. Get it? Seacrest insists he's not irritated by this kind of thing.
As the celebrity guest on "Larry King Live," Seacrest was asked about rumors that he's gay. "Doesn't bother me," he said. "I mean, whether it be that I'm 5-foot-9 and people call me 'short' or, 'Hey, I don't like the color of your eyes.' "
He says now: "It doesn't bother me at all. I love it, I laugh at it, if somebody makes a joke -- fantastic, that's funny. 'Saturday Night Live'? Doesn't bother me. If you are me, or you are you, you know who you are. If you didn't know, the jokes might bother you, but I do know, and most of the things are so far from the truth, they don't bother me at all."
* * *
The more jokes there are, the more inescapable the name "Ryan Seacrest" becomes. It's good for business.
The face is profitably inescapable, too; Seacrest popped up the other day in a toothpaste commercial, yet another source of income feeding into the Ryan Empire. "I choose the products very, very strategically," he says. "That toothpaste is a Procter & Gamble product, and I want to have a relationship with Procter & Gamble because they have so many different products. We have inventory in this new syndicated radio show that I'm going to launch and I'd like to sell some of that back to P&G directly."
For his part, Cowell has compared Seacrest to a yappy little Chihuahua. Every now and then, Cowell told an interviewer, you have to shout or shriek at the dog and swat it off your lap. The analogy might be cute, but it's lopsided. Ryan Seacrest is the one with the world in his lap, and if anyone does the swatting, it will likely be he.
Before our conversation ends, Seacrest is told that there's new evidence he's truly making an impact on popular culture: He was featured in not one but two separate feature articles in the latest issues of the National Enquirer. "Is that how we measure success now?" he asks. One article dealt with his proclivity for face peels at every opportunity. "I've never had any work done," Seacrest says. "I've had a facial or two because I've got to get that makeup out of my pores. Otherwise, I'll look like Pizza Face."
As for his career and what he declines to call his fabulous success, Seacrest says self-effacingly: "I can't complain. I put in a few hours, but I get a nice return. I have the time to stay home." Naturally, it's a pretty nice little home -- a huge villa in the Hollywood Hills that was named by a previous owner: "Casa di Pace," house of peace. Maybe he's working so feverishly and ferociously now so that he can retire at 50 and do nothing from then on; that would make sense.
"I am not that guy," Seacrest says emphatically. "I sleep with my BlackBerry. When I'm on holiday, I bring it along and check it frequently." People magazine says 2008 is the year that Ryan Seacrest ought to involve himself in a big hot romance. They haven't been paying attention; he's already got one.
