Chris Mayes wasn't likely to play this year for Georgia because of depth at his nose tackle position. Now it looks like the product of Griffin's Spalding High School won't be coming to Georgia for another couple years.
Mayes isn't likely to qualify academically and will be heading to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, 247Sports.com reported this week.
Georgia head coach Mark Richt wouldn't confirm it on Thursday night before a Bulldog Club meeting in Columbus.
"I don't think I can talk about that," Richt said when asked by the Ledger-Enquirer's Kevin Price.
Mississippi Gulf Coast is the same school where John Jenkins is wrapping up his studies this month. Jenkins is due to compete for the starting nose tackle job with sophomore Kwame Geathers. The Bulldogs also have Mike Thornton, a redshirt freshman.
Mayes, listed at 6-foot-5 and 292 pounds, was rated a three-star prospect by Scout.com.

What is it with Spalding County?
I think the kid would've had to bulk up to play the nose anyway, so I doubt he would've seen much playing time this year.
Another positive: Jenkins and Cody went to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, so it really looks like the D-Line coach there knows how to continue to develop nose tackles.
Let's just hope he signs with UGA again after his stint in JUCO.
Jimmy,
As a Griffin High school alumn.......yeah, I agree.
Does that open up another scholarship?
Geez, what is up with this program? We have players getting into trouble, acting lazy, going after recruits who are thieves, and now here we have a recruit (like WR Outlaw) who can't even qualify acedemically!
Fire Mark Richt!
(This post was made in jest FYI, for all you trolls out there)
.846 Chip Kelly Oregon 22-4 starts year 3
.924 Chris Petersen Boise State 61-5 starts year 6
.828 Jim Tressel Ohio State 106-22 starts year 11
.812 Urban Meyer Florida 65-15 thru end 2010-11
.806 Bob Stoops Oklahoma 129-31 starts year 13
.796 Nick Saban Alabama 43-11 starts year 5*
.796 Mack Brown Texas 133-34 starts year 14
.791 Gene Chizik Auburn 22-5 starts year 3*
.784 Les Miles LSU 62-17 starts year 7*
.777 Gary Patterson TCU 98-28 starts year 12
.753 Bret Bielema Wisconsin 49-16 starts year 6
.746 Joe Paterno Penn State 401-135-3 year 46
.743 Kyle Whittingham Utah 58-20 starts year 7
.738 Mark Richt Georgia 96-34 starts year 11*
So we'll probably get him back (hopefully) right when we need experienced depth at the NT position. NICE! I'm all in favor of using MGCC as a NT farm.
BuLLdawg, what's your point? That Mark Richt is one of the top 14 Div 1 coaches in America, or that he's last on that list?
