♪♪ >>> WELCOME TO GBP SPORTS RECRUITING 2021, PRESENTED BY OUR FRIENDS AT GEORGIA FARM BUREAU, ALWAYS THE HOME TEAM.

THE FASTEST HALF HOUR IN PUBLIC TELEVISION.

IT IS MATT, IT IS JOHN, WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT RECRUITING FROM NOW, FRANKLY, UNTIL THE END OF TIME BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE SEASONS HERE.

IT'S NOT SUMMER, FALL, WINTER AND SPRING.

IT IS FOOTBALL SPRING, FOOTBALL, NATIONAL SIGNS DAY.

>> GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO.

BEEN IT A LONG SUMMER, BUT READY TO START FOOTBALL.

FOOTBALL IS ALREADY UNDERWAY IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, PRETTY AMAZING.

>> BEFORE WE GET INTO TALKING ABOUT THE TOP SENIORS AND NEWS GOING AROUND THE STATE, I KNOW YOU WANTED TO START THIS WEEK BY POINTING YOUR FINGER AT THE SCREEN AND TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING ON ON THIS SHOW.

WE GET UPDATES ABOUT THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.

WE GET UPDATES ON FOLKS GOING FROM POINT A TO POINT B AND HOW THEY CAN MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER.

YOU WANTED TO START WITH THE YOUNG'UNS THIS WEEK WITH THE SOPHOMORES.

>> LATER IN THE SHOW, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE NUMBER ONE PROSPECTS IN THE NATION, BOTH OF THEM FROM THE STATE OF GEORGIA AND THE SENIOR AND JUNIOR CLASS.

24/7 SPORTS PUT OUT THEIR TOP 100 SOPHOMORES.

MOST OF THOSE KIDS ARE JUST NOW PLAYING VARSITY FOOTBALL THIS WEEK FOR THE FIRST TIME.

TOP 100 SOPHOMORES AND TWO OF THE TOP FIVE ARE FROM THE STATE OF GEORGIA, K.J.

BOLDEN, THE WIDE RECEIVER FOR BUFORD.

PROSPECT IN THE NATION FOR THE CLASS OF 2024, NUMBER ONE PROSPECT IN GEORGIA FOR THE SOPHOMORES, NUMBER ONE WIDE RECEIVER IN THE NATION, AND RIGHT BEHIND HIM IS SAMMY BROWN WHO TRANSFERRED FROM COMMERCE TO JEFFERSON, JEFFERSON ONE OF THE FAVORITES TO WIN IT IN 4A THIS YEAR AFTER GETTING TO THE FINALS LAST YEAR.

HE'S THE NUMBER FIVE OVERALL PROSPECT IN THE NATION AMONG THE SOPHOMORES, NUMBER TWO PROSPECT IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, AND THE NUMBER ONE RANKED LINEBACKER FOR THE CLASS OF 2024.

SO PRETTY BIG STUFF AS GEORGIA CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL/COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECRUITING LANDSCAPE.

>> WE'LL GET INTO THOSE NUMBERS LATER ON IN THE SHOW.

NOW LET'S GET INTO YOUR HEADLINES.

TIME FOR RAPID FIRE, AND MATT, OBVIOUSLY THE FIRST NEWS COMES REALLY AS NO SURPRISE, IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE TOP RECRUITS IN THE STATE.

YOU END UP GOING TO TUSCALOOSA.

>> THAT IS BUFORD FOUR-STAR SAFETY JAKE BOBE COMMITTING TO ALABAMA.

HERE YOU SEE HIM PLAYING WIDE SEMIFINALS LAST YEAR AGAINST GPP IN VALDOSTA.

IT CAME DOWN TO ALABAMA AND NORTH CAROLINA.

I TALKED TO JAKE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, WHAT A GREAT KID.

HE REITERATED A FAMILIAR THEME THAT WE HEAR FROM PLAYERS, AND THAT'S THAT IT'S ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COACHES.

IN PARTICULAR, CRIMSON TIDE SAFETY COACH CHARLES KELLY BUT ALSO HEAD COACH NICK SABAN HIMSELF.

JAKE WAS ABLE TO GET IN FOUR PERIODS, ALABAMA, NORTH CAROLINA ALSO VISITED, NOTRE DAME AND OHIO STATE, 24/7 SPORTS HAS JAKE RATED AS THE NUMBER 22 SAFETY IN THE NATION, BUT OF COURSE HE'S ALSO PLAYING WIDE RECEIVER FOR THE WOLVES WHO HAVE A VERY BIG GAME COMING UP TONIGHT AGAINST NORTH COBB.

>> BAINBRIDGE WHERE COLLEGE STATION IS BUOYED BY A DECISION.

>> FORMER GEORGIA BULLDOGS FOUR-STAR COMMIT AND NUMBER TWO ATHLETE, DEON BUOY COMMITS TO TEXAS A&M.

AND YOU'RE SAYING WAIT A MINUTE.

>> HOLD ON.

>> I THOUGHT HE WAS COMMITTED TO GEORGIA.

>> I THOUGHT HE WAS COMMITTED TO JUNE AND TO ME THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT'S GOING TO BE PREDICTABLE COING OUT OF THIS PANDEMIC.

HE COMMITTED TO GEORGIA IN NOVEMBER, HADN'T MADE ANY VISITS AND ALL THE CONTACT WAS VIA ZOOM AND PHONE CALLS.

NOW THAT PLAYERS LIKE BUOY AND OTHERS CAN GO OUT AND SEE THE WORLD, VISIT CAMPUS, MINDS ON COMMITS ARE GOING TO START CHANGING.

HE STARTED TAKING VISITS IN JUNE, AND COMES TO DECOMMITMENT AND NOW WITHIN PAST WEEK HE'S COMMITTED TO THE AGGIES.

NOW ON JIMBO FISHER'S STAFF AT A&M.

USE THOSE TIES TO DRAW HIM FROM ATHENS TO COLLEGE STATION.

>> NEXT STOP, A LARGE TARGET WHOSE LIST HAS BEEN EDITED.

>> WES FORSYTH.

OSCAR TRIMS ALABAMA FROM HIS FAVORITES.

STILL HAS GEORGIA, CLEMSON, MICHIGAN, SOUTH CAROLINA AND HIS TOP FOUR.

ANOTHER YOUNG MAN I HAD A CHANCE TO MEET THIS WEEK, WHAT A GREAT KID.

HELPED LEAD THE WOL VER REENS IN GAME TWO OF THE CLASSIC ON WEDNESDAY.

FIVE CATCHES, 67 YARDS IN THAT GAME, A TOUCHDOWN, BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT THE STATS WITH THIS GUY.

IT CAN BE BUT IT'S REALLY MORE ABOUT THE WAY HE LOOKS DOING IT.

HE IS A BIG TIME TIGHT END, EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR CLUES, HE WAS WEARING GEORGIA GLOVES ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, BUT NOT SO FAST, HE WAS ALSO WEARING MICHIGAN SHOES IN THE SAME GAME, SO MAKE OF THAT AS YOU WILL.

>> ROBERT PALMER EARLY IN THE SEASON, WELL DONE MATT STEWART.

NEXT UP LEESBURG AND THE PROMISE RING STAYS ON THE FINGER.

>> FOUR STAR LINEBACKER WILLIS REAFFIRMS HIS COMMITMENT TO GEORGIA TECH AFTER TAKING OFFICIAL VISITS TO FLORIDA STATE AND ARKANSAS.

HE COMMITTED TO TECH ON MAY 1st BUT MUST HAVE FELT COMPILED TO QUIET SOME OF THE RUMORS BY STATING AGAIN THAT HE'S STICKING WITH THE JACKETS.

THOSE RUMORS AND SPECULATION HAD RESULTED FROM WILLIS TAKING THOSE AFOREMENTIONED VISITS, WERE CONTINUING TO PURSUE WILLIS PRETTY HARD DESPITE THAT COMMITMENT TO GEORGIA TECH.

YOU MIGHT REMEMBER SEEING WILLIS PLAY FOR LEE COUNTY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

YOU KNOW HE'S A HYBRID LINEBACKER/STRONG SAFETY, PROBABLY THE SAME KIND OF POSITION HE'S GOING TO BE PLAYING AT THE NEXT LEVEL.

>> NEXT UP CEDAR GROVE.

>> TWO CEDAR GROVE SAINTS COMMIT THIS WEEK.

LET'S START WITH CORNERBACK DONOVAN JOHNSON COMMITTING TO MISSISSIPPI STATE.

PICKED THE BULLDOGS OVER AUBURN.

BULLDOGS OFFERED IN JUNE, JOHNSON MADE HIS ANNOUNCEMENT ON HIS MAMA'S BIRTHDAY.

IT WAS A SPECIAL DAY.

>> YES, IT WAS.

>> 6'1", 185 SENIOR PROJECTED AS A NICKEL OR STRONG SAFETY FOR MISSISSIPPI STATE.

AND THE OTHER GUY THAT COMMITS FROM THE SAINTS THIS WEEK IS THREE-STAR DEFENSIVE LINEMAN JOSHUA WHITE, AND HE'S BIG 6'4", 275, CHOSE MEMPHIS OVERALL FROM THE LIKES OF NEBRASKA, OLE MISS AND MISSOURI.

HE BECOMES THE 11th COMMITMENT FOR THE TIGER'S CLASS OF 2022.

NEXT STOP, FITZGERALD, THAT'S AN F, THREE-STAR LINEBACKER COMMITS TO FLORIDA.

ANOTHER F. >> BINGO.

>> THIS DOES NOT COME AS A BIG SURPRISE TO RECRUITING FOLLOWERS.

HE HAD BEEN CONSIDERED A HEAVY LEAN FOR THE GATORS SINCE EARLY SUMMER.

HE HAD VISITED GAINESVILLE THREE TIMES SINCE JUNE 1st, KIND OF LIKES IT DOWN THERE.

HE'S BEING RECRUITED BY FORMER GAC STAR AND GEORGIA LINEBACKER, CHRISTIAN ROBINSON, TRAITOR, HE BECOMES THE SECOND GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER TO COMMIT TO FLORIDA IN THE 2022 CLASS, JOINING BUFORD'S ISAIAH BOND.

GATOR C, LIGHT C AS A PLAYER THAT CAN RUSH OFF THE EDGE, DROP INTO COVERAGE, AND HE'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY FITZGERALD RANKED NUMBER ONE IN THE GPB SPORTS TOP TEN.

>> NEXT UP IN THE ALPHABET, G. >> G GRIFFIN SKROGS FLIPS FROM GEORGIA TECH TO GEORGIA.

YOU REMEMBER SEEING THE MASSIVE OFFENSE PLAYING IN THE 7A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME FOR THE RAMS.

HE FLIPPED HIS COMMITMENT EARLIER THIS MONTH FROM GEORGIA TECH TO GEORGIA.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE NOT SEEN A LOT OF THAT IN RECENT YEARS.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE OF NA, AND IT'S KIND OF A BACK HANDED COMPLIMENT TO GEORGIA TECH IN THAT THEY ARE NOW RECRUITING PLAYERS THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE CONSIDERED BY GEORGIA.

THAT WAS NOT HAPPENING FOR OVER A DECADE, BUT NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN, 6'4", 315, WILL BE A GUARD OR CENTER IN COLLEGE, JUST LIKE HE ALREADY IS PLAYING FOR ANOTHER COLLEGE TEAM.

>> NEXT STOP THE RAVEN CALHOUN FOR ONE OF THEIR WIDE RECEIVERS.

>> CALHOUN WIDE RECEIVER COLE SPEAR, SECOND MOST RECEIVING YARDS IN THE STATE LAST YEAR BEHIND ONLY TRAVIS HUNTER.

HE COMMITS TO GEORGIA.

SPEAR HAD A HUGE SEASON FOR CALHOUN AS A JUNIOR, 59 CATCHES, 1,100 YARDS, 11 TOUCHDOWNS, ALSO PLAYS AS YOU SEE ON THE PICK SIX ILLUSTRATED ON YOUR SCREEN.

>> THANK YOU.

>> BULLDOGS OFFERED IN JULY AFTER HE CONSISTENTLY RAN IN THE 45 RANGE IN SUMMER CAMP.

JOINING NORTH COBB'S MORISSETTE.

>> LAST UP SOME ACTION OUT OF NEWTON COUNTY.

>> NEWTON SAFETY MONTRAIRUS REED COMMITS TO AKRON.

HE MADE THE DECISION WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GO WITH THOSE GUYS, 6 FOOT, 195, CONSIDERED AN ATHLETE.

REED WAS ALSO OFFERED BY GEORGIA STATE AND KENT STATE AS WELL AS AUSTIN P AND EASTERN KENTUCKY.

>> THAT'S YOUR HEADLINES.

MATT'S GOING TO GRAB SOME WATER AND CATCH HIS BREATH FOR ALL OF ABOUT 35 SECONDS OR SO BECAUSE WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'LL SHOW YOU WHAT'S GOING ON AS THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LETTERS, NI AND L AND THE NUMBER ONE.

GBP SPORTS RECRUITING 2021, PRESENT BID OUR FRIENDS AT GEORGIA FARM BUREAU AND FARM THIS QUICK TIME-OUT.

THAT'S WHY WE CREATED GEORGIA FARM BUREAU MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY PROVIDING FINANCIAL PROTECTION THAT FARMERS NEEDED.

WHILE THIS REMAINS THE SAME TODAY, WE'VE GROWN TO PROTECT ALL GEORGIANS THROUGH HOME, AUTO, AND LIFE INSURANCE.

FROM THE VERY BEGINNING AND INTO THE FUTURE WE STAND FOR EVERY GEORGIA COMMUNITY.

♪ WE ARE ALL FARM BUREAU ♪ .

>>> WELCOME BACK TO GPB SPORTS RECRUITING 2021, BROUGHT TO US BY OUR FRIENDS AT GEORGIA FARM BUREAU.

IT'S THAT TIME OF THE SHOW WHERE WE CATCH UP WITH THE INTERVIEWER OF THE STARS, HANNA GOODEN.

WE GET HIS LOOK AT THE 2021 SEASON.

>> WELCOME TO THE SHOW, IT'S TODD HOLCOMB, THE EDITOR OF THE GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL DAILY, ALSO KNOWN A @GSF DAILY ON TWITTER.

TODD, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

IT IS OFFICIALLY WEEK ZERO.

THE SEASON HAS BEGUN.

WHAT ARE YOUR TOP GAMES AND MATCHUPS THAT YOU'VE GOT YOUR EYE ON THIS WEEKEND?

>> A LOT OF GOOD ONES.

IT'S NON-REGION, INTER-REGION PLAY, THE TWO BEST TEAMS PLAYING EACH OTHER WOULD BE BUFORD AT NORTH COBB.

BUFORD IS DEFENDING CHAMPION IN 6A.

THEIR NUMBER THREE IS 7A THAT WILL BE A GOOD ONE.

JEFFERSON IS NUMBER ONE IN 4A IN OUR RANKINGS.

PLAYING AT JEFFERSON.

THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT ONE, RAVEN COUNTY OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE THE GREAT QUARTERBACK UNDER STOCKTON AND JEFFERSON ALSO HAS ONE AND STARK SO THAT SHOULD BE PRETTY FUN, AND THEN FIRST STATE TEAM, THEY'RE PLAYING NORTH LYNETTE, KIND OF A GEORGIA, ALABAMA RIVALRY.

THE OTHER LEFTY GAMES I'LL MENTION, MARIETTA'S PLAYING -- COUNTY, YOU'VE GOT TWO COBB COUNTY TEAMS THAT ARE UP AND COMING AND WILL BE BETTER THIS YEAR.

THEY'RE PLAYING THE TWO MOST SUCCESSFUL SOUTH GEORGIA TEAMS IN THE HIGHEST CLASZ.

>> A LOT OF THOSE TEAMS YOU JUST MENTIONED ARE LOADED WITH TALENT.

THIS IS A RECRUITING SHOW, SO TELL ME THE TOP TALENT THAT YOU'VE GOT YOUR EYE ON AROUND THE STATE THIS SEASON?

>> WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST GOING TO NAME THE GUYS THAT -- IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING RECRUITING IN GEORGIA, THESE ARE -- GEORGIA'S BLESSED TO HAVE THE NUMBER ONE PROSPECT IN THE COUNTRY IN THE SENIOR CLASS, THAT'S TRAVIS HUNTER.

COLLINS HILL, WIDE RECEIVER, CORNERBACK GOING TO FLORIDA STATE AND GEORGIA ALSO HAS THE NUMBER ONE RATED JUNIOR IN THE COUNTRY, MIKELT.

OVERTON.

THOSE GUYS ARE GOING TO BE PLAYING THIS WEEK.

AND THOSE GUYS HAVE A ROCK STAR QUARTERBACK IN RAVEN COUNTY WHO I MENTIONED BEFORE.

HE STARTS.

THEY'RE BOTH BIG TIME RECRUITS MEETING EACH OTHER FRIDAY, STARTS AT JEFFERSON, RAVEN COUNTY, AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER FIVE-STAR RECRUIT, YOU KNOW, IN THE -- MIKEL WILLIAMS, THE DEFENSIVE LINE, AND PROBABLY I THINK MAYBE THE MOST EXCITING, THE PLAYER MAY RUSH FOR 2,000 YARDS THIS YEAR, PLUS TRINITY'S JUSTICE, HE'S A JUNIOR, BUT A FOUR-STAR BORDERLINE FIVE-STAR KIND OF GUY.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

I LOOK FORWARD TO CATCHING UP WITH YOU AS THE SEASON GOES ON.

>> THANKS.

APPRECIATE YOU HAVING ME.

>>> YOU CAN CATCH THE INTERVIEW IN FULL ON THE GPB SPORTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

TO LET YOU KNOW, FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA WHICH START SEPTEMBER 10th, THE REGION'S HALFTIME SHOW WITH THE INTERVIEWER OF THE STARS.

ALSO AFTER THE GAMES THIS YEAR SHE'S GOING TO BE HOSTING THE POST-GAME SHOW AS WELL HERE AT GPB SPORTS.

ONCE AGAIN READY FOR YOU HERE IN 2021.

I KNOW THAT MATT, TODD MENTIONED MICHAEL WILLIAMS OUT OF HARDAWAY.

HE WAS PART OF THOSE STORY LINES THAT WERE BELOW THE RADAR.

SOME OF THE BIGGER NEWS.

WHO WERE SOME OF THE OTHER BIGGER NEWS GUYS PART OF YOUR STORY LINE.

>> MY KELL WILLIAM FROM HARDAWAY, A MAN CHILD WHO COMMITTED TO SOUTHERN CAL.

HE'S A TOP FIVE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN IN THE COUNTRY.

AS IT IS IN, YOU KNOW, COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECRUITING THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S OVER ONCE YOU COMMIT, SO GEORGIA CONTINUES TO PURSUE WILLIAMS VERY HARD, I'M SURE THEY'LL BE WORKING HIM ALL THE WAY UNTIL NATIONAL SIGNING DAY IN DECEMBER.

ADDISON NICHOLS IS ANOTHER GUY, NUMBER THREE RANKED INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.

HE COMMITTED TO TENNESSEE HERE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AS WELL.

THAT WAS SOME OF THE NEWS THAT HAPPENED A LITTLE BIT FURTHER OUT, WHILE WE DIDN'T INCLUDE IT IN OUR NEWS BLOCK PER SE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED DURING THE SUMMER, BUT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED IT.

ALSO SAM HORN GOING BACK A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

IF YOU TUNED OUT AFTER NATIONAL SIGNING DAY IN FEBRUARY, HE HAS SINCE COMMITTED TO MISSOURI.

SO SOME OF THE BIG STORIES, JAKE JOHNSON, OCONEE COUNTY, NO BIG SURPRISE GOING TO LSU.

BIG BROTHER MAX IS A QUARTERBACK THERE.

SOME OF THE INTERESTING STORIES THAT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THE END OF NATIONAL SIGNING DAY IN FEBRUARY AS WE NOW GET READY FOR THE NEXT NATIONAL SIGNING DAY IN DECEMBER.

>> SO WE MENTIONED THAT THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LETTERS N, I, AND L. IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO ADDRESS WITH ONE OF THE TOP QUARTERBACKS IN THE COUNTRY AND HIS DECISION NOT TO PLAY THIS YEAR.

>> IT'S QUINN EVERS, WAS AT SOUTHLAKE CARROL HIGH SCHOOL DECIDED TO GO PRO.

UNDER ANY OTHER TIME IN OUR HISTORY WE WOULD CALL THIS GOING PRO BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HE'S RECEIVING MONEY BASED ON HIS SO -- BUT THE IDEA OF AMATEURISM, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, IT GOT REDEFINED A LONG TIME AGO.

I'M NOT MAKING ANY KIND OF STATEMENT ABOUT HIM, BUT IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN A LOT, BUT IT WILL HAPPEN FOR QUARTERBACKS.

I THINK OF THE QUARTERBACK CLASS IS GOING TO BE AN ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, TARGETED CLASS.

THESE ARE THE GUYS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THE FACE OF THE TEAM TYPICALLY.

THEY'RE THE FRANCHISE, AND THAT'S WHY THESE KIDS ARE GOING TO GET NIL MONEY.

THAT'S NAME, IMAGE, LIKENESS.

THAT'S THE NEW RULES, NCAA, AND SO VIEWERS WANTED TO CASH IN ON THAT.

YOU KNOW, HE HAD ENDORSEMENTS READY TO GO, AND SO HE DECIDED TO SKIP HIS SENIOR YEAR AT SOUTHLAKE CARROL IN TEXAS WHERE THEY WERE GOING TO COMPETE FOR A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, GO AHEAD AND ENROLLED AT OHIO STATE, NOT GOING TO PLAY THERE THIS YEAR, HE'S JUST GOING TO BE AROUND LEARNING THE SYSTEM AND COLLECTING MONEY.

>> WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THE NIL STORY AS WE GO THIS SEASON.

LET'S GET BACK TO THE STATE OF GEORGIA AND FOCUS TO SOMEONE ON THE TOP OF THE LADDER NOW.

NUMBER TWO IN THE COUNTRY, AND THEN NEWERS DECIDED TO GO ON AND GO PLAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL A YEAR EARLY OR AT LEAST BE ON A COLLEGE ROSTER EARLY.

THAT ELEVATES TRAVIS HUNTER TO THE NUMBER ONE SPOT IN THE NATION.

NUMBER ONE AND A GOOD REASON WHY COLLIN FEEL IS CONSIDERED A CONTENDER FOR THE FIRST EVER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR, AND THERE'S SAM HORN WHO'S COMMITTED TO MISSOURI THROWING THAT PASS AND TRAVIS HUNTER IS ONE OF THE TOP ALL TIME DYNAMIC HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYERS I'VE EVER SEEN PLAY.

PLAYS WIDE RECEIVER.

PLAYS CORNERBACK.

HE'S LISTED AS A CORNER.

HE MIGHT BE A DEION SANDERS TYPE.

HE MIGHT BE A CHAMP BAILEY TYPE, PLAY BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.

DEON DIDN'T DO THAT AT THE NFL LEVEL, BUT TRAVIS IS A SPECTACULAR PLAYER.

>> THE JUNIOR CLASS WITH L.T.

OVERTON TODD MENTIONED.

>> NUMBER ONE PLAYER IN THE JUNIOR CLASS, L.T.

OVERTON, MILTON.

WE SAW HIM PLAY LAST YEAR ON GPB.

HE IS AS GOOD AS ADVERTISED.

I MEAN, HE'S GOT OFFERS FROM EVERYBODY.

>> OFFERS FROM NEPTUNE.

>> AND PLANETS WE DON'T EVEN KNOW YET, OFFERS FROM THEM.

SO WHEN THEY OPENED UP THE DEAD PERIOD IN JUNE, HE TOOK VISITS TO THE TOP SIX TEAMS IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS.

I MEAN -- >> WHY NOT?

>> TO ALL SIX OF THEM, HE'S VISITED ALL OF THESE SCHOOLS DURING THE SUMMER, AND IT'S JUST GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLE SHOW TO WATCH L.T.

OVERTON AND WHAT HAPPENS WITH HIM.

REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER NUMBER ONE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN IN ABILITY, ROBERT CAM DEE CHI.

>> AND THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE WERE HEADING WITH ALL OF THIS NEXT.

IT SEEMS LIKE CAMDECHE START THD MOMENTUM AND THIS WAVE WHERE GEORGE IS GETTING RECOGNIZED ON THE NATIONAL STAGE.

BEFORE WE GO BACK, LET ME GO WITH THE NEW EXAMPLE.

WE'RE TALKING PRO FOOTBALL NOW AND THE IMPACT THAT IT HAD WITH THAT LOVELY FLOW OF HIS.

>> AND THERE IS TREVOR LAWRENCE, WHO IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW WAS THE NUMBER ONE PICK IN THE NFL DRAFT, WAS THE NUMBER ONE PROSPECT IN THE NATION COMING OUT OF CARTERSVILLE AND WENT ON AND STARTED CLEMSON, LED THEM TO A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

PLAYED FOR THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

INTERESTING, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS TALKING TO RUSTY MANZIEL THE OTHER DAY, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH A GUY LIKE TREVOR LAWRENCE HAD THE NIL RULES BEEN IN PLACE.

WOULD HE HAVE SKIPPED HIS SENIOR YEAR AT CARTERSVILLE AND GONE AHEAD AND STARTED THAT CLOCK.

YOU START THAT CLOCK, WHAT THAT ALSO DOES IS YOU CAN CASH IN ON THE NIL MONEY, BUT IT ALSO STARTS THE CLOCK TO GET YOU CLOSER TO THE NFL EARLIER THAN IF YOU JUST GO THE NORMAL ROUTE.

>> YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST 29 PICKS OF THIS YEAR'S NFL DRAFT AND YOU SEE GEORGIA, GEORGIA, GEORGIA, GEORGIA, GEORGIA, GEORGIA.

CARTERSVILLE WITH C. LAW.

THE BLUE TIDE OF LONG COUNTY, JIMMY DAVIS GOES TO KENTUCKY.

ERIC STOKES FROM EAST SIDE AS WELL.

YOU GET THAT INFLUENCE THERE HEADING TO THE NEXT LEVEL, AND IT STARTED BACK IN 2013 WITH ROBERT CAMDECHE WHO NOW GETTING A SECOND CHANCE WITH THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS, VERY, VERY COOL THERE AS WELL.

WHEN WE COME BACK, IT'S THAT SPECIAL TIME OF RECRUITING 2021, WHERE WE GET TO TALK ABOUT MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER.

WE'LL ALSO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON A VERY TALL TARGET FROM MARIETTA AND HIS COLLEGE PLANS.

IT IS GPB SPORTS RECRUITING 2021, STICK AND STAY, WE WILL RETURN.

FIRST UPDATES ON ERIC GILBERT, AND WE'RE STILL KIND OF INFLUX HERE.

>> YEAH, WE ARE.

WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON, BUT HE IS NOT WITH THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS RIGHT NOW AS THEY PREPARE FOR THEIR SEASON OPENER AGAINST CLEMSON, HUGE GAME, NATIONAL TELEVISION GAME.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RAMIFICATIONS.

ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF AND ERIC GILBERT IS NOT WITH THE TEAM RIGHT NOW FOR QUOTE, UNQUOTE PERSONAL REASONS.

WE KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED WITH ERIC.

HE WENT TO LSU AFTER HIS SENIOR YEAR.

GATORADE NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR, WENT TO LSU IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR DECIDED TO LEAVE THE TEAM, SAID HE WAS HOME SICK, BLAH BLAH BLAH.

ACTUALLY COMMITTED WITH FLORIDA, NEVER SHOWED UP ON THE FLORIDA CAMPUS, SO JUST A LOT OF QUESTION MARKS SURROUNDING ERIC GILBERT HERE IN THE SPAN OF ABOUT TEN MONTHS.

HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING WORKS OUT, BUT RIGHT NOW HE'S NOT ON THE -- NOT WITH THE TEAM AS THEY PREPARE FOR THAT OPENING.

>> 90 SECOND WARNING.

WE'VE GOT TO FLY.

NEXT STOP JALEN MARSHAL.

>> BIG COMMITS FOR GEORGIA TECH.

WE TALKED ABOUT HOW JEFF COLLINS HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB OF CHANGING THE PROFILE OF GEORGIA TECH.

NATIONALLY THEY GET JALEN MARSHAL, FOUR-STAR SAFETY OUT OF MIAMI CENTRAL.

HE HAD ORIGINALLY COMMITTED TO ARIZONA STATE AND HERM EDWARDS CHANGES HIS MIND.

JALEN MARSHAL COMMITS TO GEORGIA TECH.

>> TECH ALSO GETS A COMMITMENT FROM THREE-STAR DEFENSIVE LINEMAN ALTON TARBER.
