It practically took all damn night in what has to be the longest and most drawn out announcement ceremony of the recruiting season -- seriously, I think someone should check on Izzy Gould, I think he may have started hemorrhaging at some point -- but nevertheless the official word is finally in from the hallowed grounds of the Valdosta hibachi house. Per Izzy on Twitter:
Malcolm Mitchell...picks...Georgia.
Ouch.
Most thought Mitchell was headed to 'Bama even through yesterday, so this one is a legitimate surprise. Obviously this decision has no direct bearing on Isiah Crowell, but most thought all along our chances were better with Mitchell than with Crowell, so this probably does not portend good things for Crowell's recruitment.
