First off, Happy Holidays to everyone. Haven't been around a computer for the past week, so I'll have to use the late pass on this one.
George was a big lean to SC after the off-season camps but began to waver around the Fall when opposing coaches started using the "you'll never get any playing-time" card; SC was always kept high on the list, but at one point, it felt like Oregon, Cal, or UCLA could sway George their way. In the end, the battle between getting a free-pass to a starting position versus playing at the school he loved (and family also loved), tilted towards the latter.
Biases aside, I think this is a good move for George. He's a tall DT (6'4 300lb) which differentiates him from the current set of tackles at SC. People say he's raw, which is true, but his size/agility will give him a chance to contribute early.
Expect UCLA to continue to recruit George, especially if Brian Price leaves for the NFL. I wouldn't be too worried since George seems adamant about his commitment, plus Jethro Franklin is a tough coach to recruit against.
