The Other Signing Day

This week marks the beginning of the National Signing period for most collegiate sports outside of football. Georgia's basketball team had 4 strong verbals coming in and should end up with a good class headlined by 6'8 forward Chris Barnes out of Riverdale. The women's team will put up another top-10 class. But the big newsmaker of the day was the signing of pitcher Kevin Rhoderick out of Scottsdale, Arizona. Rhoderick originally committed to Georgia but then changed to Oregon State in the middle of October. Today he signed with the Bulldogs. He has been a two-time member of the USA Junior National team(thats almost as good as Chain U-18). He is one of the biggest signings in the history of the baseball program and is projected to be a closer. Baseball signings are non-binding and he could choose to forego college if he likes his draft status. He has stated that he would like to attend college though. Either way, this is a true sign of where the Georgia Baseball program stands nationally and will go a long way in opening doors to other prospects from across the country.
