Big B's top ten Class of 2011, most ready to make an impact

Last night on Score Atlanta's The Official Visit on 790 the Zone, we debuted Big B’s Top Ten 2011 Prospects most-ready to contribute their freshmen year. Here it is. PS, no blogs the next few days as I am taking a much needed vacation. Enjoy! Look for a piece on Tommy Hanson as Monday is his one-year anniversary in the Bigs (as well as Wifey's 29th birthday!)

10) Brian Randolph: 6-0, 180-pound safety out of Kell. Says it is between Tech and Tennessee. Tech may have a need at safety, depending on the play of Fred Holton and Isaiah Johnson.

9) Gabe Wright: 6-3, 273-pound DT out of Carver. His top 6: Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Florida State, Clemson, and Tennessee. His mom is obsessed with Auburn, so that’s where he’s going. Great player with impressive strength and stunning athleticism and agility. Also, Clemson’s connection to Carver with Corey Crawford and David Beasley and to Georgia defensive line talent in Brandon Thompson, will be tough to beat. He needs to gain some weight before contributing, though.

8) Quan Bray: 5-11, 178-pound athlete out of Callaway. Top four of Georgia, Alabama, Clemson and Tennessee. Wants to stay in state. Georgia’s to lose and versatility may help him get on the field early, but lack of a position may hurt.

7) A.J. Johnson: 6-3, 226-pound ILB out of Gainesville. Florida, Clemson, Auburn, an Bama will be tough to beat, but Tech is the hometown team. Clemson and Florida are the teams to beat, both have great LB coaches: Durkin and Steele. Great athlete with size and speed to contribute in some way.

6) C.J. Uzomah: 6-5, 230 pounds out of North Gwinnett. He will go to Tennessee, Auburn or Notre Dame. I think it will be Notre Dame. May graduate early, which would help, but hard to contribute at QB early.

5) Watts Dantzler: 6-7, 315-pound OT out of Dalton. Top five: Bama, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. All Georgia and should commit on his Birthday, November 16. OL is tough, but will be enrolled early.

4) Jay Rome: 6-6, 240-pound TE out of Valdosta. Has a top five of Georgia, Clemson, Florida, Alabama, and Tennessee. Georgia is recruiting him the hardest and LeMay helps. Size and position help his chances.

3) James Vaughters: 6-2, 233-pound ILB out of Tucker. All-around player. Alabama, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Ohio State and Stanford his top five. Family in Ohio. Smart, physical and ready to contribute.

2) Isaiah Crowell: 5-11, 190-pound back out Carver. No early leader, but I like Clemson and Bama here. No doubt he will play as a freshman.

1) Ray Drew: 6-5, 243-pound DE out of Thomas County Central. UGA will be tough to beat, but Florida and USC will be players for sure. So developed physicall.y
