Closing in on Qualifiers

No promises, Mark Richt says, but things are looking good to get all of his 2009 signing class qualified academically.

Most of the 20-player class has already qualified, with quarterbacks Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenberger and lineman Dallas Lee already enrolled. But a handful of stragglers remain, and Richt said the final results for them won't be in for a few more days.

"We're in pretty good shape, but until the final grades come in on some of these guys, you don't even know what their GPA is," he said. "After that, we'll have a better feel."

The good news, however, is that everyone has a shot of qualifying, and so far, Richt said no one is on track to head to prep school.

"At this point, no one is on that path," he said. "Everybody's still in the race."
