Richt: Houston is still ineligible

Georgia coach Mark Richt says offensive tackle Kolton Houston is still ineligible because he continues to test positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance he was given for a shoulder surgery more than two years ago.

Houston was Georgia's No. 1 right tackle at the end of spring practice. Richt says Georgia, which opens practice on Thursday, must prepare to be without the third-year sophomore.

Richt says Georgia's medical staff hopes the substance, 19-norandrosterone, will eventually leave Houston's system.

Documents released Thursday by Georgia included an email received Tuesday from NCAA president Mark Emmert, who denied Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity's request for a special exemption for Houston.

Richt said Georgia's staff is ''100-percent certain'' Houston ''has not continued to take this thing.'' Houston can practice with the team.

USC: 2012 college football recruiting

Lane Kiffin had to make sure that his recruiting class of 2012 didn't miss and if reports are correct he has done his job. Facing NCAA sanctions that limited the number of players USC could sign, Kiffen had to target the right 15 players. ?We can?t control how many we sign, but we can control who we sign,? Kiffin told the Associated Press. USC clearly targeted the right players, landing Rivals.com?s 7th-ranked class with just twelve players, three under their reduced limit.
