I imagine that ranking could be higher Tony and Marlon on the team.http://www.secdigitalnetwork.com/NE...8665/15-sec-track-and-field-teams-ranked.aspx
Here is a link to a preseason poll for indoor track. It has our men's team ranked #24 in the country, one spot above LSU, Florida State is seventh and five other SEC teams are in the top 25. Arkansas is #1 and the barn is unranked.
While we aren't a national power, this does show we have respect and would not be a bad place for a person to run track.
A friend who is personal friends and does business with Bobby Humphrey told me he asked him about Marlon and the response was "He ain't stupid, he knows where home is..."Idk why people are so worried. The odds are stacked heavily in Alabama's favor. Let him have his fun until he commits to the Tide.

That's why I think Marlon ends up at Bama and the FSU "noise" is nothing but that noise and a smokescreen. Even when Maudrecaus was playing at Arkansas, Bobby couldnt root against his school, and I think the influence of his family will in the end overrule anything else.A friend who is personal friends and does business with Bobby Humphrey told me he asked him about Marlon and the response was "He ain't stupid, he knows where home is..."
The Dean of Engineering, Dr. Chuck Karr, helped recruit Da'Shawn Hand.Is the track coach allowed to participate in recruiting someone like Humphrey who has publicly stated he wants to run track or is only the primary sport's coaches allowed to do so?
Sounding more official. Got to like our chances now. @ajcuga: UGA expected to hire Florida State's Jeremy Pruitt as its new defensive coordinator: http://bit.ly/1eQJk3NMarlon's relationship with Jeremy Pruitt helped FSU. We'll see how that goes now that Pruitt is on his way to UGA (baring a last minute change).
I think Pruitt understood that FSU was not giving him the kind of money that UGA was offering. Plus, while it's certainly more difficult to do, in terms of coaching reputation building a powerhouse defense in the SEC goes much further than doing the exact same thing in the ACC.This seems out of the blue. Does anyone else think that it is strange for Pruitt to go to UGA before he gets an upgrade offer from FSU?
They were #13 in the poll I linked.What kind of track program does UGA have?
Thanks for the link. You have to like Bobby's comments about not falling in love with a coach. I think this did it and Marlon is ours.Good news. Still going to visit FSU, but this has to help. Link to al.com article below.
