Georgia football: A pair of 5-stars highlight a robust official visit weekend

When Jordan Burch posted the Snapchat video of his Athens hotel room bright and early on Saturday, it was official. It was truly game on for the Georgia football official visitor weekend.

Georgia’s dance card of official visitors had brought in just about everyone it hoped it would. Or at least the players it absolutely had to have there this weekend.

Burch, the nation’s No. 5 overall prospect for 2020 on the 247Sports Composite, made another trip to Athens for his official visit.

The Under Armour 2020 All-American plans to sign and make his decision known on Dec. 19. That event is not expected to take place at Hammond School, but in his hometown in Florence. Kirby Smart and select members of the Georgia staff made a trip to check out Burch this week.

They saw him pour in 10 points on the basketball court.

Manning is down to Arizona State, Georgia, Oregon, Oklahoma, Oregon and Texas A&M. The pure 247Sports rating has his mas the nation’s No. 2 overall cornerback for 2020.

This has been a nouveau official visit weekend for the Bulldogs. The number of official visitors will be the biggest recruiting weekend of the year at least according to that count.

Ringo started off his official visit at a shooting range. Smith and his guests wound up at an ax-throwing establishment in the Classic City. Reed had a dinner plate that looked like a lobster farm.

This weekend was easily going beyond the normal cookie cake realm that has been an official visit UGA tradition. Combine that with the LED-heavy Sanford Stadium experience and the usual black SUV motorcades that whip those blue-chip recruits everywhere and it will be another painting the town red night for those potential Bulldogs in Athens.

Scan the list of names below for an unofficial list of visitors that are in town or are stil; expected to be in town this weekend. DawgNation is still looking for at least 2-3 other surprise visitors from this weekend that we could see show up in Athens.
