Three-star defensive end Davin Bellamy from Chamblee, Georgia has decided to stay at home and play football at Georgia.

He chose the Bulldogs over Tennessee, Florida State and Oregon.

Bellamy made news last week after his visit to Oregon when he tweeted a photo of himself, some fellow recruits, four girls and a bong.  Bellamy said he had nothing to do with the bong.

His mother made news today by telling The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Georgia officials have assured her that defensive coordinator Todd Grantham is going nowhere, despite rumors tying him to the D-coordinator job with the NFL’s New Orleans Saints.

And emotional Stacy Coley has announced he’ll play college football at Miami.  The four-star receiver from Oakland Park, Florida also considered Ole Miss, Florida State and South Florida.  So there’s at least one guy Hugh Freeze couldn’t reel in.

Offensive tackle Denver Kirkland of Miami has decided to play ball at Arkansas rather than Florida State.  Kirkland ranks as one of the top 15 tackles in the nation.  The four-star recruit is a good get for a Razorback class that has been slow to come together.

Linebacker E.J. Levenberry from C.D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, Va., has decided to stick with his Florida State commitment.

Levenberry announced the news Tuesday night. He had considered Tennessee following a visit to Knoxville last weekend.

“We sat down as a family and we went over everything,” Levenberry’s father, Eric, told InsideNova. “Florida State is where his heart is.”

Running back Alex Collins from South Plantation High School in Plantation, Fla., has committed to Arkansas.

Collins, who visited Arkansas on Jan. 25, made his announcement live on FOX Sports South.

“I like the fact that they run the ball,” said Collins, who also cited his trust in the Razorbacks coaching staff. Collins was recruited by Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema when he was at Wisconsin.

Collins, who’s ranked the nation’s No. 13 running back by Rivals.com, chose Arkansas over Florida, Florida State, Miami and Wisconsin. He’s the 21st prospect to commit to Arkansas for the class of 2013.

The announcement from Collins was apparently met with great anticipation in Fayetteville, Ark. Bielema posted the following message on twitter shortly after Collins announced he plans to sign with the Razorbacks.

Wooooo pig sooooie!Great night to be a Razorback!

Bellamy plans to announce his final decision on Feb. 6. He’s considering Georgia, Tennessee and Oregon, which is expected to host Bellamy on an official visit this weekend.

“UGA is still my leader,” Bellamy told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “but one thing I must say is that Tennessee is right behind them … right behind them. I mean, it’s hand in hand. It’s tough right now.”

Bellamy is the second prospect this week to decommit from Florida State and turn his attention to the SEC. Offensive lineman Austin Golson from Prattville (Ala.) High School re-opened his recruitment on Monday and is strongly considering Ole Miss and Auburn.

The first day of meetings for the Big XII’s athletic directors came and went with little said about league expansion.  In fact, the only official comments on the topic came from commissioner Bob Bowlsby himself:

“I think we did gravitate around some principle that will guide us going forward and I think we created some filters that we all agreed on.  I think there was a fair amount of unanimity in the room.”

The Big XII commish also said that everything discussed regarding expansion could be classified as “what-ifs.”

Meanwhile, CBSSports.com reports that behind closed doors, the Big XII’s ADs discussed who might go where if the Big Ten and SEC decide to expand again… and who would be left for the Big XII in such a scenario.  Their views should not surprise.  According to Jeremy Fowler, the ADs believe the Big Ten would likely chase schools already in the Association of American Universities (Virginia, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech and Duke).  They believe the SEC would go after a school or two from what would be new states to the SEC: Virginia and North Carolina (Virginia, Virginia Tech, UNC, Duke, NC State and Wake Forest).  The biggest programs left behind (according to what Fowler heard coming out of the meeting): Florida State, Clemson and Louisville.

Bowlsby has made it clear — as has powerful Texas AD DeLoss Dodds — that the 10 Big XII schools make a whole lotta cash as a 10-member league.  Adding more teams had better equal more cash.  From the comment above, we’ll assume that the league’s ADs agreed on a pair of things.

The headline is correct.

Defensive end Davin Bellamy from Chamblee (Ga.) High School told ESPN RecruitingNation he’s still committed to Florida State, but Georgia has taken the lead for his services following an official visit to Athens.

“We have a new leader in the house,” Bellamy said. “I definitely think with this scheme and (defensive coordinator Todd) Grantham, the years he has been here, that position has led the SEC in sacks. So the proof is in the pudding. He coached (Dallas Cowboys linebacker) Demarcus Ware, so I feel like with my skill set, he can take it here and I can be like Jarvis Jones and a top-10 pick.”

So where does that leave Florida State, which has held a commitment from Bellamy since August? He’s expecting an in-home visit from FSU coach Jimbo Fisher this week.

“I am still a Florida State commitment and Jimbo Fisher is coming Wednesday to try and talk me into staying with the program,” Bellamy told ESPN. “We will see how it goes.”

Bellamy visited Tennessee on Jan. 18 and came away impressed with the Vols. But Florida State’s chief competition appears to be Georgia with 10 days to go until signing day.

Arkansas has received three commitments this weekend for the class of 2013.

Defensive back De’Andre Coley from Miami, athlete D.J. Dean from Newton, Texas, and defensive tackle Ke’tyrus Marks from Riviera Beach, Fla. All three prospects committed to Arkansas during their official visits to Fayetteville.

“I did my research on Fayetteville and I can see it’s a great city,” Marks told HawgSports.com. “It has a lot of corporations in it, and being that I want to major in sport management, I can get internships and things like that after football is over.

“Arkansas has the best fans, by far. Of all the schools I’ve been recruited by, Arkansas’ fans showed the most love.”

Arkansas is hoping running back Alex Collins felt the same kind of love during his official visit. The Fort Lauderdale, Fla., standout told 247Sports he plans to announce his decision on Feb. 4. He’s also considering Florida, Florida State, Miami and Wisconsin.

“I’m going to go home and sit down, really think about each school that I visited and each school that I’m looking at and try to pick based on where I feel most comfortable,” said Collins, who’s ranked the nation’s No. 1 all-purpose back by 247Sports. “I’m going to sit down, talk to my mom, talk to my coach before I make my decision. And ultimately, whatever I feel most comfortable that I can thrive academically and athletically, that’s where I’ll end up going.”

Arkansas has 16 commitments for the class of 2013.

Big 12 athletic directors will meet in suburban Dallas on Monday and Tuesday.  With a report surfacing earlier in the week that officials would have a “philosophical” discussion about expansion, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby gave some insight on Friday where the league could be headed.

In an interview with the Austin American-Statesman, Bowlsby said the league has had alliance discussions with three other conferences.

“The ACC is one of them. It’s a process of discovery that would provide some of the benefits of larger membership without actually adding members.”

Bowlsby would not name the other two leagues, although the Pac-12 is believed to be one of them.  He also told that the paper that an alliance – which would cover areas like scheduling, marketing and possible television partnerships –  is not necessarily a precursor to expansion.

“If anything, it’s the opposite. You can begin to get some advantages without taking on any of the disadvantages (of expansion). It’s one option that allows benefits. It’s kind of like friends with benefits.”

Any alliance would include football and basketball and could spread to other sports. On Wednesday, Orangebloods.com reported that Bowlsby’s interested was piqued in December when a report surfaced that Florida State had reached out to the Big Ten about possible membership.

Meanwhile the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch obtained minutes of a meeting in December where Ohio State president Gordon Gee is quoted as saying he “believes there is movement towards three or four super conferences that are made up of 16-20 teams.”

Responding to a student question about where the league might go, Gee said:

“There are opportunities to move further south in the (E)ast and possibly a couple of Midwest universities.”

The Big 10 has reportedly tried to gauge the interest of several ACC schools. ESPN, picking up on the “Midwest universities” part of the quote, asks if that could be good news for Kansas.
