Your thoughts?

Titus Brown or former VT DE/LB Corey Moore?

Wow Corey Moore that's a name I haven't heard in a while. I like Davis. He's going to play the Hybrid standup DE/LB role that Jordan Davis, Lawson, & russell are going to play this year.

Miller isn't from South Ga - he's from Marietta and played at Walton - he's a friend of the family. He played at Valdosta State under Leach. Current VSU HC Gary Goff was a teammate. But, yes, Leach has lots of contact down here. Brunswick High's HC is a former player too (that's where Slay played).

John Bond played at Valdosta HS. My company has a branch there.

Yeah, when I watched Thomas' video I thought he reminded me of "that old VT DE that was really good"

I always try to look at a guy's height & weight & then find a player that would be "best case scenario" & watch that player's video to compare

Yep. Valdosta used to be a QB machine - they went from Buck Belue, to John Bond, to John Lastinger (UGA). They just hired Rush Propst as their latest coach

Has anyone noticed that 247 has Sawyer Robertson ranked over Garrett Nussmeier?

Sawyer is a 93 and Nuss a 91

Will be interesting to see if it stays that way after Nuss commits to a blue blood

I don't trust their ratings. They're garbage and biased and not sure why any of us worry about them.

It won't.

I believe Davis plays at Lowndes county High, not Valdosta High. There are 2 schools in that county, one in city (Bond school) and the county school

Leach coached at Valdosta & Mason Miller is from South Georgia.

I'm sure we'll get significantly more involved down there which is great.

back in the day Valdosta was THE power house HS Program in Georgia ... they even got into a little trouble when it was discovered they actually were recruiting and getting players to move into their district

[ZedFedder]

South Panola used to do the same.

I think this is going to be a fascinating year in recruiting & my hope is that it plays into our hands.

- Without the Spring evaluation period, they entire process has slowed down meaning that many offers from the blue blood won't be given out till October or later.

- While this may cause some drama late in the process, it also gives Leach a chance to show these players his offense at MSU before they commit & also gives LSU a chance to level out or worse at the same time.

Just thinking optimistically. We needed guys to wait & commit later in the process after Leach shows off his passing game at MSU. Hopefully this helps

So the NCAA fb season is up in the air obviously. I would assume HS football is even more so. Could be wrong.

How they supposed to "evaluate" HS players this year?

Video & contacts.

Demetric Warren with a Crystal Ball for Kanarius Johnson to MSU.

After watching video on this year's in-state WRs crop, it's my opinion that Johnson is the 2nd best pure WR prospect in the state behind Smith. In comparison to Harmon, he's more of a WR prospect & in comparison to Brevard, he's just faster & twitchier

He looks like a pure, smooth WR with Chris Smith's body & Fred Ross' speed. Light on his feet with long extremities & a large catch radius. Easy 4 star to me. Should be rated 91-93. He's rated an 87 on 247, but he's clearly better than that

Lock up Johnson & Knox. Then hope that a season of LSU regressing to the mean & Costello showing out turns Smith towards the good guys.

This. Those of us in public education are extremely concerned about the high school football season. Season basically starts in 4 months and we are guaranteed to stay closed until at least June 5. If we have another spike of virus cases after we open stuff back up we could seriously put all fall sports in jeopardy. Football not playing would be very interesting.

Well Brevard just dropped his top 10 and we are not on it.

Yeah, what?s the story? Why are we not pushing this kid?
