    This Week in GA Commits - Season Opens!

    For the 3rd year in a row, we have a commit from the great state of Georgia, which means I can again bring you "This Week in GA Commits". This year we have Christian Roberson from McEachern High School in Powder Springs, GA. The 3 star TE prospect will face some top notch competition this year. Since it can be hard to follow out-of-state guys, I'll keep up as best I can with a weekly game preview, in game stats if possible, and a recap from various media sources. This post will be a little longer than normal because I'll start with a bit about the McEachern program (and I don't have a blog site, so I will make you read it all). Enjoy...

    The McEachern Indians of Powder Springs, Ga have a reputation as a strong program, with 28 playoff appearances and 15 region titles - 12 of which came between 1986-1999 under legendary Coach Jimmy Dorsey (now AD). Their last title was in 2012. Under Dorsey and current coach Kyle Hockman, McEachern puts a lot of players in the college ranks. They are consistently ranked in the Top 10 at the end of the season, and much like UGA, they always have some of the top talent. Also like UGA, they can never win the big game and have 0 State Titles to show for it. They have put two players in the NFL, most notably Adam Meadows long time OL for the Colts. McEachern is coming off a 10-4 season that ended in another playoff disappointment in semis against Colquitt County.

    McEachern again starts the season off with promise ranked #2 in Class 6A by the AJC. They are loaded with D1 talent - QB Bailey Hockman (UGA), OL/DE Julian Rochester (UGA), RB Sam Jackson (GA Southern), DT Andrew Tarver (FIU), WR CJ Windham (MTSU) in addition to our own TE commit Christian Roberson. They start off with 4 tough non-region games against Tucker, 4A legend Buford, Peachtree Ridge and Lovejoy before a grueling Region 4-AAAAAA slate.

    Full disclosure - if I sound negative at any point about McEachern, I am. They are one of the long time rivals with my alma mater Marietta, so I'll try to keep that from clouding my reports this fall. I've been talking smack with friends who went there - including my roommate my freshman year at State - for 30 years and it's a hard habit to break. I respect the program though. The good thing is, they aren't Sprayberry, I still hate those *******'s. But I digress...

    This week, McEachern squares off against the Tucker Tigers in the Georgia Dome as a part of the Corky Kell Classic. Tucker has a great program history of their own. They haven't lost more than 3 games in a season since 1999, have 16 region titles - including last year - and State Titles in 4A '08 and '11. They have produced 8 NFL players, most notably former UGA stars Patrick Pass and Asher Allen. In 2014, they shut out 4 opponents. Last year, a 10-3 run ended in state qrt finals ? getting trounced by?.McEachern 62-36

    Head coach Bryan Lamar returns for his fourth season to lead the Tigers. Although some of the top playmakers from last year?s team graduated, coach Lamar is confident that this group has what it takes to reach the teams' goal of winning a state championship. "I think we have a great group back," Lamar said. "The kids have been working extremely hard." The 2015 Tigers including returning quarterback Garrett Rigby (Harvard commit) and wide receivers Akeem Peters and Joshua Vann. Peters also led the defense in interceptions last season.

    Should be a rocking game in the Dome. Kickoff is 8:45 eastern tonight.

    And just found out this game is on Fox SportSouth. The old SportSouth that used to have the Braves, not Fox Sports - South that now has the Braves.

    That little RB Jackson is really fast and shifty. Looks like he has an offer from us, he's headed to Georgia Southern.

    Another TD for Jackson - 162 yards already. I would not mind if he changed his mind and came to State

    His vision is extremely sophisticated for a high school player.
