Mark Richt had apparently targeted 19 Penn State players.

Dawgs247.com reported earlier today that Georgia notified the Penn State compliance office of their wishes to speak to 19 current Penn State players. While some coaches have targeted maybe one or two players, now most of them are saying they will not recruit Penn State players. Other than Silas Redd of course.

Here is the list of the 19 players that was obtained through an open records request.

CB Adrian Amos (Soph.)
DE Deion Barnes (R-Fr.)
WR Justin Brown (Sr.)
CB DaQuan Davis (Fr.)
DB Jake Fagnano (Sr.)
LB Khairi Fortt (Jr.)
DL Jordan Hill (Sr.)
LB Gerald Hodges (Sr.)
DL DeQuan Jones (Jr.)
WR Eugene Lewis (Fr.)
OL Angelo Mangiro (R-Fr.)
DE Pete Massaro (Sr.)
LB Michael Mauti (Sr.)
DL Jamil Pollard (Fr.)
RB Silas Redd (Jr.)
OL Donovan Smith (R-Fr.)
C Matt Stankiewitch (Sr.)
WR Trevor Williams (Fr.)
RB Michael Zordich (Sr.)

Georgia has since backed away from recruiting these players releasing the following statement:

“Currently, Georgia is not pursuing any of Penn State’s football players. We wish Coach O’Brien and the players the best”

Smooth move by UGA.
