>>> WELCOME TO ANOTHER GPB SPORTS REMOST ACCURATE WEATHER FORECAST -- SPORTS RECRUITING.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

>> SPEAKING OF THAT GAME.

THE NORTH COBB WARRIORS ARE TRYING TO WEATHER THE STORM AFTER LOSING FOUR STAR QUARTERBACK SINGLETON TO THAT FOOT INJURY.

IS HE GOING TO COME BACK THIS YEAR, WILL HE COME BACK?

WE'LL GET THE LATEST IN THIS CONVERSATION.

>> TO START THINGS OFF WE'VE TALKED ABOUT NIL A LOT.

AND WHEN A BILINE HAS THE LAST NAMES OF MANDEL, STAPLES, AND FELDMAN, YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A HEAVY-HITTING PIECE.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, THEIR THREE NAMES WERE ON A BILINE INVOLVING A PLAYER THAT USED TO PLAY IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

>> IT'S A BIG STORY AND NOT GOING AWAY ANY TIME SOON.

YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER WATCHING THE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN PLAY HERE ON GBP SPORTS FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA LAST SEASON WHEN HE WAS A SOPHOMORE AT JOHNS CREEK.

FAST FORWARD TO 2022, AND HE'S STILL WAITING FOR HIS JUNIOR SEASON TO START.

IT MIGHT NEVER.

RATED THE NUMBER ONE JUNIOR DEFENSIVE LINEMAN IN THE INDONESIAN IN THE 24/7 SPORTS COMPOSITE, HE MOVED TO LOS ALAMEDOS HIGH SCHOOL DURING THE OFF SEASON BUT HAS BEEN RULED INELIGIBLE BY THE SCHOLASTIC FEDERATION.

HE HAS 9 OFFERS, GEORGIA, OKLAHOMA, MICHIGAN, AND MORE THAN FOUR DOZEN OTHERS.

RIGHT NOW HE'S NOT PLAYING ANY FOOTBALL.

ACCORDING TO A STORY IN THE "ATHLETIC," CUNNINGHAM WAS MOVED TO CALIFORNIA BY HIS FATHER, KNOWN AS BIG REV, IN SEARCH OF LUCRATIVE NIL DEALS.

GEORGIA DOES NOT ALLOW THIS FOR HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS.

CALIFORNIA DOES.

THE CIF RULED CUNNINGHAM INELIGIBLE WHILE INVESTIGATING WHETHER THERE WAS UNDUE INFLUENCE INVOLVED IN THE TRANSFER.

HE TWEETED THIS OUT -- WANTING OUT OF CIF JAIL, BECAUSE HE'S NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY NOW.

THAT UNDUE INFLUENCE, BY THE WAY, COULD HAVE COME FROM A REPORTED EXCLUSIVE DEAL THAT HE SIGNED WITH A FIRM CALLED LEVEL SPORTS GROUP.

THIS IS PART OF THE LAWSUIT.

THEY WOULD GET 20% OF HIS DEAL.

IT'S A BIG MESS RIGHT NOW.

GOOD REPORTING BY THE "ATHLETIC."

CHECK IT OUT ON LINE AND READ THE ENTIRE STORY.

THERE'S SO MUCH TO IT, WE CAN'T GET INTO IT ALL RIGHT HERE.

IT IS A BIG MESS.

THE BIG SHAME OF THIS ALL IS HE'S A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYER, HE WANTS TO PLAY FOOTBALL.

WE'VE GOT A DALTON THERE TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND EXPLOIT HIM.

>> A 17-YEAR-OLD YOUNG MAN.

WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THIS STORY WHEN IT COMES TO TA CUNNINGHAM.

TOP IN THE SOUTHERN SECTION, HE WAS ON THE SIDELINES LAST FRIDAY WITH THEIR GAME AGAINST THE HAWAII TEAM.

YOU SEE THE SIGNS THERE IN THE STUDENT BODY.

FREE TA, AND HE'S RIGHT THIS DRESSED OUT WITH THE JERSEY, NOT IN HELMET, BUT WEARING THE JERSEY ON THE SIDELINES WITH HIS TEAM.

DEVELOPING STORY, AND WE ARE FAR FROM DONE.

>> I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THE SPORTS MARKETING FIRM WAS GOING TO GET HIM MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ENDORSEMENTS.

HE'S A HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER.

I GET THAT.

AND HE'S A BIG-TIME HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYER, I GET THAT.

WHERE ARE THE MILLIONS IN ENDORSEMENTS COMING FROM FOR A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYER?

OBVIOUSLY VERY SHADY DEALINGS INVOLVING HIM.

HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING WORKS OUT.

>> WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON IT.

IF YOU HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE "ATHLETIC," READ THE STORY.

IT'S WORTH YOUR TIME.

WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THE STORY AS IT CONTINUES TO DEVELOP HERE IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA AND IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITH THE CIF SOUTHERN SECTION AND TA CUNNINGHAM.

THAT IS IT FOR THE LEAD STORY THIS WEEK.

WE GOT A GAME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUR.

WE ALSO HAVE MOVEMENT GOING ON WITH THIS HIGH-POWERED FOLKS ALREADY.

>> YEAH, TAYLORTON FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK JUJU LEWIS -- >> A FRESHMAN.

>> HE IS GOING TO BE AT THE GEORGIA GAME TOMORROW TO WATCH THE BULLDOGS PLAY KENT STATE.

LEWIS COULD END UP BEING THE NUMBER-ONE QUARTERBACK IN THE NATION IN THE CLASS OF 2026.

NOT THE FIRST TIME WE'VE SEEN COACH JOEY KING MENTORING ONE OF THE TOP YOUNG QUARTERBACKS IN THE COUNTRY.

REMEMBER A FELLOW NAMED TREVOR LAWRENCE.

>> I REMEMBER HIM.

>> LEWIS ALREADY HAS 20 OFFERS INCLUDING GEORGIA AND ALABAMA, FLORIDA STATE, PENN STATE, TEXAS, AND TENNESSEE ARE ALSO IN THE EARLY MIX.

6'1", FRESHMAN RANKED THE SEVENTH RANKED TROJANS TO THE 5-0 START INTO THE GAME AT HILL GROVE OR AGAINST HILL GROVE.

COMPLETED 69% OF HIS PASSES FOR OVER 1,300 YARDS, 19 TOUCHDOWNS.

JUST TWO INTERCEPTIONS.

NOT THE ONLY SUPER FRESHMAN THAT WILL BE IN ATHENS TOMORROW.

WE SAW HICKS FROM PARKVIEW LAST WEEK.

HE'S GOING TO BE THERE, AS WELL.

>>> NEXT STOP, A COUPLE OF FOLKS HEADING TO ARMY.

>> JOHNS CREEK LINEBACKER SAM OPPENHEIMER COMMITS TO ARMY, SENIOR CHOSE THE BLACK KNIGHTS OVER SECRETARY OF OTHER OFFERS INCLUDING -- SEVEN OTHER OFFERS INCLUDING AIR FORCE, PRINCETON, AND YALE.

HE'S BEEN A TACKLING MACHINE IN HIS CAREER WITH THE GLADIATORS AS A JUNIOR AVERAGING 12 TACKLES PER GAME WITH 153 TOTAL AND 15 KEY FL LEADING JOHNS CREEK TO THE STATE QUARTERFINALS.

THIS SEASON HE HAS 53 TOTAL TACK ELSE IN FOUR GAMES.

TWO QUARTERBACK SACK, A BLOCKED FIELD GOAL, TWO RUSHING TOUCHDOWNS.

TONIGHT SAM AND HIS GLADIATORS WILL BE PLAYING AT ROSWELL LOOKING FOR THEIR SECOND WIN OF THE SEASON.

>> ONLY THING MISSING IS THE PARTRIDGE IN THE PEAR TREE.

THAT'S DECEMBER.

>>> LET'S GO TO THEORS FENCIVE SIDE OF THE BALL.

>> ANOTHER OF THE COMMITS TO ARMY.

JUSTIN JOHNSON COMMITTED TO ARMY BEFORE THE TIGERS' SEASON OPENER.

5'11" MOTHER NATURE IS COMMITTED TO THE BLACK KNIGHTS AFTER STARTING HIS VARSITY CAREER AS A FRESHMAN AT CENTRAL GWINNETT.

HE'S THROWN FOR OVER 3,700 YARDS IN HIS CAREER, COMPLETING 62% OF EASY PAY PASSES WITH 24 TOUCHDOWNS.

HE'S ALSO RUSHED AT 1,000 YARDS IN HIS CAREER.

ARCHER OFF TONIGHT, BUT JOHNSON 28 OF 30 PASSING FOR OVER 200 YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE AND A TOUCHDOWN IN THE TIGERS' FIRST WIN LAST WEEK AGAINST SHILOH.

>>> ALL RIGHT.

THERE IS ARMY STRONG.

THIS A HEAVY LIFT.

>> YEAH.

FEW PLAYERS FROM GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE COMMITTED TO ARMY IN THIS RECRUITING CYCLE.

THE BLACK KNIGHTS MAKING A BIG PRESENCE HERE IN THE STATE.

>> FROM ARCHER -- >> YEAH, TEAMMATE CHAD ALEXANDER, CHOSE THE BLACK KNIGHTS OVER 13 OTHER OFFERS INCLUDING AIR FORCE, NAVY, PLUS HARVARD, YALE, AND COLUMBIA.

RIVERDALE'S HINE BACKER PICKED ARMY OVER AIR FORCE, NAVY, AND MIAMI OF OHIO.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MARIS LAUNCH FOR DREW PRIETO, ONE OF THE TOP LONG SNAPPERS IN THE NATION.

HE'S GOING TO BE PLAYING IN U.S. ALL-AMERICAN BOWL IN SAN ANTONIO IN JANUARY.

>> MUCH LOVE TO SPECIAL TEAMS, AS ALWAYS.

REACHING INTO THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

>>> NOW I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD, BUT WE HAVE A GAME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUR.

AND IT IS MILTON AND NORTH COBB, TWO TEAMS AT 2-2.

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY ARE TOWARD THE END OF SEASON ONE.

WE GOT A LOT OF FOLKS IN YOUR SPOT.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO START?

>> YEAH, 2-2s ARE NOT NECESSARILY CREATED EQUAL.

THESE TEAMS COULD BE 4-0 HAD THEY PLAYED EASIER SCHEDULES.

>> TRUE.

>> THEY PLAYED MONSTER SCHEDULES TRY FOG GET READY FOR THEIR REGION.

NORTH COBB CURRENTLY NINE AND THE TOP TEN.

SHOULD BE A GOOD BALL GAME COMING UP BOTTOM OF THE HOUR.

LET'S START WITH MILTON FOUR STORY WIDE RECEIVER DEBRON GATLING, SIX FOOT, OFFERS FROM TEXAS A&M AND LSU.

HE WAS A MAX PREPS SOPHOMORE ALL AMERICAN ON THE RUNNER UP TEAM LAST YEAR WITH 37 KRACHS AND 11 THOUCHDS IN FOUR GAMES.

THIS SEASON HAS 23 CATCHES FOR 217.

AVERAGE OF 68 RECEIVING YARDS PER GAME AND TWO TOUCHDOWNS.

AND PRETTY MUCH FACING DOUBLE COVERAGES IN EVERY GAME.

HE WAS A TEXAS A&M LAST WEEKEND FOR THE AGGIES WIN OVER MIAMI.

REPORTEDLY WILL BE AT TENNESSEE THIS WEEKEND FOR THE SEC SHOW SHOWDOWN.

HE VISITED IN JOHN AND AGAIN.

>> JULY.

>> COULD -- IN JUNE AND AGAIN IN OFFENSE.

>>> NEXT STOP, SOMEONE GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT IT -- 42 OFFERS AND REALLY -- HE REALLY, TRULY COULD HELP THE FOLKS.

>> THE FORMER COACH TOLD US WHEN HE WAS A FRESHMAN THIS KID HAD THE CHANCE TO BE THE MOST TALENTED OFFENSIVE PLAYER HE HAD EVER COACHED.

CLACK IS NOW AT CHARLOTTE, AND GATLING CONTINUES TO GET THE JOB DONE THERE AT MILTON.

>> LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE 42 OFFERS.

THAT'S JUST A COUPLE OF POWER FIVES HANGING OUT.

>>> NEXT ONE ON THE LIST IS SOMEONE THAT WE'VE BEEN KEEPING OUR EYE ON FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, AND HE REALLY HAS DEVELOPED INTO A BIG FOCUS FOR A LOT OF THE POWER FIVE SCHOOLS.

>> MILTON THREE STAR SAFETY BRYCE THORNTON, 5'10", 185-POUND SENIOR, 27 OFFERS, ALABAMA AND FLORIDA HIS TOP TWO.

HE'S GOING TO MAKE HIS ANNOUNCEMENT BETWEEN THOSE TWO SCHOOLS COMING UP ON OCTOBER 13th.

COACH BEN REEVES SAYS OUTSIDE OF LT OVERTON, THORNTON MIGHT BE THE MOST TALENTED PLAYER THAT HE'S EVER COACHED.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE HIM TONIGHT.

HE INJURED HIS ANKLE IN THEIR SEASON OPENING LOSS AGAINST LIPSCOMB ACADEMY.

HE'S TRIED TO BATTLE THROUGH IT.

SO THEY'VE GOT A BYE WEEK COMING UP NEXT WEEK BEFORE THE REGION SCHEDULE STARTS TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO USE HIM TONIGHT.

HE'S GOING TO BE IN A BOOT.

HE'S GOING TO BE RESTING, GETTING READY FOR THE REGION OPENER.

OF COURSE, UBER ATHLETIC FAMILY, HIS DAD BRUCE WAS A STAR FOR THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS, DRAFTED IN THE FOURTH ROUND BY THE DALLAS COWBOYS.

AND THEN HIS BROTHER BRUCE WAS ONE OF THE TOP HIGH SCHOOL POINT GUARDS IN THE NATION LAST YEAR.

NOW A FRESHMAN AT OHIO STATE.

>> AND A LOT OF FOLKS PAIR HIM UP WITH THIS GUY.

>> YEAH.

ROB BILLINGS COMMITTED TO CLEMSON OVER 12 OTHER OFFERS INCLUDING GEORGIA, GEORGIA TECH, AND KENTUCKY.

COMPARES WITH SAFETY JOE CHARLESTON WHO PLAYED ON MILTON'S 22018 TEAM.

HE CHOSE CLEMSON IN HIGH SCHOOL.

TEACH REEVES SAYS LIKE CHARLESTON, BILLINGS WILL KNOCK YOUR BLOCK OFF.

BILLINGS LEADS THE EAGLES SECONDARY WITH 37 TACKLES, FOUR PBU.

HE HAD TWO TFL AND A BLOCKED KICK.

HE TALKED TO COACH REEVES ABOUT HIS FANTASTIC POWER FIVE SAFETY COMBO.

>> THOSE TWO ARE READY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL RIGHT NOW.

THE ONLY THING THAT THEY REALLY NEED TO WORK ON IS JUST PHYSICALLY CONTINUE TO MATURE AND GROW AS SCHEDULED.

BOTH OF THESE GUYS ARE AS LOCKED AS YOU CAN BE.

THEY KNOW FOOTBALL.

THEY STUDY THE GAME.

THEY NEVER MISS A REP.

THEY GIVE FULL EFFORT.

EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE AT THE NEXT LEVEL THEY ALREADY HAVE THOSE QUALITIES AND CHARACTERISTICS.

SO JUST TO CONTINUE TO GROW PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, ON SCHEDULE.

AND THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THEY'LL BE READY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL AND BE READY TO PLAY EARLY ON.

>> WHAT HE SAID.

>>> HOW ABOUT TO MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER SUGGESTION?

HE HAS 33 TOTAL TACKLES.

LEADS ALL DEFENSIVE LINEMEN ADDING TWO QUARTERBACK SAX AND ONE -- MAKE THAT ONE FORCED FUMBLE.

ALSO A BACKUP OFFENSIVE LINEMAN.

COACH REEVES SAYS PHILLIPS IS SO UNSELFISH, AND THAT'S THEIR SCHEME.

IF YOU'RE A DEFENSIVE LINEMAN FOR MILTON, A LOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TYING UP GAPS AND BLOCKERS SO THE LINEBACKERS CAN MAKE PLAYS.

SO THAT'S PART OF HIS RESPONSIBILITY.

BUT HE'S STILL MAKING A LOT OF PLAYS ON HIS OWN.

OWEN PHILLIPS, MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER!

ALL RIGHT.

>>> NOW THERE WAS ANOTHER INSTANCE THAT WE WANTED TO KIND OF LOOK AT.

IT'S NOT QUITE THE WAY BACK MACHINE BUT THE ALMOST WAY BACK MACHINE.

SINGLETON HAS ALREADY HAD SURGERY, BUT IT'S UNCLEAR AS TO WHETHER HEEL RETURN FOR THE REST OF HIS SENIOR SEASON.

HE'S A QUARTERBACK WHO PLAYS THE POSITION LIKE A RUNNING BACK AND A LINEBACKER.

CAREER NUMBERS ARE SILLY.
