xGeorgia Recruiting: 2012 RB Prospect Mike Davis Makes His Final Decision

According to a report by Keith Niebuhr of Rivals.com, Mike Davis broke his silence tonight and declared himself a South Carolina Gamecock—not likely to the surprise of many.

"You know, some people don't know, South Carolina stayed on me all the time - even when I was committed to Florida. I actually was silently committed. I did it [not long] after I de-committed from Florida. My family already knew about it. Everyone is happy for me. My whole family is happy." 

Davis, whom many felt Georgia still had an outside chance of landing—particularly since he was set to take his final, official, visit with the Bulldogs a mere week before signing day—said he was "sick of the recruiting process" and was simply ready to let his destination be known—finally.

Still, that won't keep some from wondering about the timing of Davis' announcement; would he have been as gung ho about announcing his destination tonight had Gurley not chosen Georgia? After all, it was only a week or so ago that he was quoted as having Georgia as his leader.

I guess we'll never know for certain.

That said, both schools have to be satisfied that they've secured quality players who will fit well into what they want to do offensively.

Next up for Georgia, trying to nail down the rest of their 2012 class.
