Four-star returns from Georgia
Is he or isn't he still a UCLA commit? That is the question that many want to know regarding four-star safety Rahim Moore (6-0, 185, 4.45) from Los Angeles (Calif.) Dorsey who took an official visit to Georgia this past weekend.
"I loved it down there in Georgia, I truly loved it," Moore said. "Everything about the city of Athens I loved. The people there were genuine," Moore said. "They knew I was from California and they showed me a lot of love."

Moore couldn't stop gushing about his time at UGA.
"I liked the coaches, the players, the campus and I even met the president of the school and I liked him too," Moore said. "I can see why the teams from the south are so successful and why the SEC is so tough.
"I loved all the trees and a lot of all the little things about Georgia," Moore said. "I loved the whole atmosphere. They take their football pretty seriously down there. It is like a religion. During the game the fans were busting my eardrums they were so loud."
So the question now is - what is his status with UCLA and UGA?
"As much as I love it in Georgia and the school, I'm still committed to UCLA," he said.
"I love Georgia. I just love UCLA more. I can't wait to get to UCLA with this incoming class. There is no reason why we can't create the same atmosphere at UCLA. Start are own legacy."
