Mark Richt has another interesting meal on the recruiting trail
Mark Richt had a breakfast that has turned out to be semi-famous to DawgNation last weekend in Washington. He flew across the country after the Auburn win to spend some time with 5-star commitment Jacob Eason.
Well, he had another meal last night in Northeast Georgia which might top that. Richt tweeted out a picture Thursday evening from an in-home visit with 4-star offensive line commitment Ben Cleveland. The 6-foot-7 Stephens County standout committed to UGA with Eason way back in July of 2014.
What was on the menu? Read on.

Given Cleveland’s affinity for the meal, it seemed very probable that Richt was not kidding. Yet when reached, Cleveland said they opted to save the squirrel for another day. They had barbecue chicken off the grill.
Cleveland finished up his senior season at Stephens County with an 8-3 record. His Indians fell to Carrollton in the first round of the Georgia state playoffs. He has planned his official visit for the UGA season banquet on the weekend of December 11. He’ll take part in the U.S. Army All-American game on Jan. 9 and then report to UGA shortly thereafter.
