The Georgia Bulldogs have been ranked No. 11 in the country in the 2012 Baseball America Preseason Top 25, the publication announced Tuesday.

The 2011 Diamond Dawgs finished with a 33-32 record and advanced to the NCAA Regionals. 22 letterman return from that team and join Georgia’s 2010-11 signing class.

Mark Richt and Mike Bobo went to jail for a Bulldog recruit. The two Bulldog coaches were there recruiting Josh Harvey-Clemons, a 5-star athlete ranked no. 1 in Georgia and 31st overall by Rivals.com.

Why was Josh Harvey-Clemons at a jail? AJC.com has the full story, but here are the main points. Richt and Bobo were in Valdosta making an in-home recruiting visit to Harvey-Clemons, who will likely play outside linebacker and possibly wide receiver in Athens. The visit then continued on to Mt. Calvary Baptist Church.

Georgia started well but couldn’t keep pace as the no. 1 ranked Kentucky Wildcats cruised to a 57-44 win over the Dawgs in Athens. The loss drops Georgia to 10-10 overall and 1-5 in the SEC.

After a Gerald Robinson layup, the Bulldogs led the Wildcats 14-11 with 12:55 remaining in the first half. But then UK closed out the half by outscoring the Dawgs 27-12 to lead at halftime by 12.

Offensive lineman Chester Brown is no longer a verbal commitment to the Georgia Bulldogs. Brown has decided to look elsewhere due to “personal reasons.”

The AJC has reported that Brown (6-5, 333) is unable to gain admission to UGA due to a new Board of Regents policy on illegal immigrants.
