da'id you know...

...that the vols' beloved reciever da'rick rogers was almost a smelly bulldog?

Da'Rick Rogers, who leads the SEC with six touchdown receptions, was committed to Georgia for seven months before changing his mind and choosing Tennessee at the last minute.

Former Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin laid the groundwork for Rogers’ flip-flop, and then current Tennessee coach Derek Dooley came in and finished the job.

“Everybody’s making a big story out of that,” Dooley said. “But for every one of those guys we get in Georgia, we lose about five others that we want. That’s just part of recruiting.” Rogers, who’s from Calhoun, Ga., said earlier this week that the reason he switched to Tennessee was to “build a new face of a program.”

His best friend in high school, Nash Nance, was a big reason the Vols were able to steal Rogers away from the Bulldogs. Nance was originally committed to Vanderbilt, but after getting an offer from Tennessee in late January, he changed his commitment to the Vols.

Nance and Rogers visited Tennessee together the last weekend in January, and a few days later, Rogers wound up signing with the Vols. (via)
