Well you guys know that I do know how to keep a secret right? I will NOT under any circumstances tell or even lead you to believe whatever his decision(S) are or may become. I will be really evasive.

I love Alvin like he's my own. I'm gonna respect this time "HIS TIME" and I'm going to help with whatever school he feels at home with. I pray it's UT, but at the end of the process it isn't, then so be it. Just means I'll have to go between two fields

He has been under the weather with the flu and cancelled his trip to Clemson this weekend. Apparently he felt good enough to scoot over to Athens though. All the links are $$$, but he was in Athens with Matthews, Wiggins, Kitt, etc.

I thought something like this might happen.

Y'all gotta remember that UGA is in our backyard. SO WHAT if he goes up there. Who cares? Jason spent MANY MANY MANY days up there ... AND???? NOTHING! It's an easy ride 45 minutes.... U can only visit there so many times before he gets bored with the same ole' stuff. Let Alvin enjoy this ride.

UGA finally figuring out that all of the GA talent is leaving the state, so they're finally trying dang hard to get some of these players to stay. DUH!! Took them long enough.

UGA has always made our state the top priority and has done a good job keeping some top players home.

Ha! I love this! Just wait until football season when everyone is posting that they saw Kamara at ANOTHER UT game with the Croom family...wow, he must REALLY love UT! The only problem is that UT never gets boring, especially the game-day experience! GO VOLS! Alvin, can't wait to see you in orange next to your best friend, Crunchtime!

Kamara is cold and hot at the same time

One of Michael Jordan's most memorable games in a career full of them was Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals. Most remember it simply as 'The Flu Game.'

While the stakes were significantly (significantly) less on the fields Saturday, Norcross (Ga.) running back Alvin Kamara was channeling his inner-Jordan. Under the weather with flu-like systems he was still one of the fastest players at the event and helped contribute several big plays and victories for Georgia Elite.

"I'm trying to hang in there I'm so sick," Kamara said. "I dropped a few balls. But I'm bouncing back, we'll have to see with these next games."

On top of a fever and his skin a few shades lighter than what it normally is, the cheerful Kamara also was dealing with the opposition's best shot. As one of several players with multiple FBS offers, he had a bit of a target on his back while he was running routes and catching passes.

"A little bit," he said. "Some guys see me and say, 'Oh he's got all these offers and blah, blah, blah.' But that's just going to make me play harder."

The cold and windy conditions in the Atlanta area were pretty much the opposite of Kamara's recruitment. Holding just a single offer, from Syracuse, at the Rising Seniors Bowl right before New Year's, the 5-foot-10, 190-pounder has turned into one of the hottest prospects in the country.

"It's been crazy," he said. "From one to eleven. It's just crazy."

HIs most recent offer came from the opposite coast and USC, with plenty of other schools close to extending an one. He doesn't have a top group of schools but there have still been a few that have stuck out in his mind and are recruiting him the hardest.

"Alabama and Georgia are up there," he said. "Everybody heard the story about Alabama. With Georgia, their coaches keep up with me real well."

'The story' about Alabama stems from the fact that the school sent him 105 recruiting letters. In one day.

The memorable recruiting strategy certainly left a mark in the running back's mind even if he held the Crimson Tide in high esteem beforehand.

"It was wild, they just fell out of my mailbox and I wasn't even expecting it," Kamara said. "My mom went wild. She was like, 'Can they do that?'"

Kamara doesn't have any unofficial visits planned and isn't counting on going to any junior days in the next few weeks either. In many ways, he's just going with the flow of the recruiting process that he's seen pick up very quickly. Wisconsin and Oklahoma State might be close to adding to his total of offers and while he will add them to his growing pile, Kamara is evaluating all of them based on what he's looking for in a program before making a commitment.

"Just a school that feels like home, coaches that I get along with and somewhere I can just feel like I belong," he said. "I want to fit in. I'm going to make my decision whenever it feels right. I don't have a time frame."

While his timetable for a commitment is still up in the air, Kamara is interested in seeing things outside of his hometown and that means he'll take visits even if he knows where he wants to go.

"I want to get to everywhere I can and see everything," he said. "I don't want to miss anything. Even if I (commit), I definitely will take (official visits)."

One of the four-star running back's best traits is his ability to catch the ball, and that was evident Saturday. As he did at the Georgia Junior Bowl in December, Kamara was excellent in the passing game. He gets off the line well, runs sharp, crisp routes and had little problem creating separation. Once Kamara makes the catch, he is particularly dangerous in the open field because of his speed and one-cut ability. He easily could play receiver at the next level if needed.

That last post is why I think he's the best overall back in the country. He can catch and run equally well couple that with that speed and I don't know if he has an equal in every aspect of the game. Plus he's already right around 200lbs. That's excellent size for a slashing back like Kamara.

Georgia fans.. SMH. You and your false self entitlement. Y'all are perennial let downs. Serious question. When was the last time y'all won something of importance? I honestly do not remember? So please why do y'all think you are so special? And why so cocky despite never winning the big games?
