I posted a story earlier that was entitled “A short history of Georgia’s early enrollees.” Well, a short time after posting the good people at UGA’s sports information office – and they are good, and they are very good at their jobs – sent along a list of what they believe to be Georgia’s early enrollees dating back to 1980.

So, not so short a history.

Here is the list, which UGA is pretty confident in as far as since 1990. Records prior to that are more sketchy, but they did their best. Thanks again to Claude Felton, Leland Barrow and company:
