Score Atlanta's The Official Visit was on one night early, sorry I didn't give the heads up via twitter. Brian Jones provided his list of top recruiting classes for the 2011 season AS OF RIGHT NOW. Our next show will be next Tuesday from 7-9pm. Tune in this Sunday 2-5 pm to 790 the Zone for The Block Party.
10) Georgia: 15 players have committed to date, 11 from Georgia. The class is led by Chris Conley, Sterling Bailey, Nick Marshall, Watts Dantzler and Christian LeMay, and Now Nathan Theus, brother of John Theus, and also making a serious push for James Wilder;
9) Florida State: Great start for Fisher with 14 guys, though some lack quality in my opinion. Tremendous recruiting in the defensive backfield, including top safeties Karlos Williams (maybe MVP of all 7-on-7 tournaments), Keelin Smith, Tyler Hunter of Valdosta, and Lamarcus Brutus. St. Thomas Aquinas WR Rashad Greene is also a nice prospect and we love LB Terrance Smith. Also, Bobby Hart is a top OL;
8) USC: It’s way too early to tell for sure, but the sanctions don’t look to have hurt USC just yet. 11 Guys are already committed in this class, including top WR Victor Blackwell, top DE Jalen Grimble, top quarterbacks Cody Kessler and Max Wittek, top FL linebacker Kent Turene, and perhaps the nation’s top athlete in De’Anthony Thomas;
7) Ohio St: Also off to a good start with 17 commitments already. Have received big verbals from top Ohio DT Michael Bennett, top Ohio DEs Steve Miller and Kenny Hayes, and the country’s second-best QB in Braxton Miller;
6) Clemson: Somehow Dabo Swinney is dominating the recruiting world from Clemson, South Carolina. Has 16 commitments to date, including from top OL Shaq Anthony, top Florida DB Cortez Davis, top SC WR Charone Peake and top TE Eric MacLain. Most importantly, has two huge commitments from top national running backs in Marlin Lane and Mike Bellamy, both from Florida;
5) LSU: I’d have the Tigers ahead of Georgia, with 12 guys on board, including La’El Collins, the best player in Louisiana, Kenny Hilliard – a top, top running back, Jarvis Landry and Anthony Johnson, other in-state stars. Great year for talent in Louisiana, so expect Tigers to finish near the top;
4) Oklahoma: The Sooners are in position to have a top five class once again, with 17 already on board. Texas WR Trey Metoyer and Texas RB Brandon Williams lead the class, while Marquis Anderson, Dylan Dismuke, Nathan Hughes, Jordan Wade and Jordan Phillips give the Sooners great depth along both lines;
3) Florida: 12 players have committed to date, and in the ultra-talented mold to which they are accustomed. Commitments include Jeff Driskel, Javares McRoy, Jeoffrey Pagan, Ryan Shazier, A.C Leonard and Ja’Juan Story. Also had a very successful Friday Night Lights;
2) Alabama: 15 commitments to date, including ones from Alabama’s top player, LB Brent Calloway, Florida athlete Hasean Clinton-Dix, Georgia LB Shannon Brow, top defensive linemen LaMichael Fanning and D.J. Pettway and WR Danny Woodson;
1) Texas: As usual, off to yet another great start early with 22 commitments already on board, all but one coming from Texas. Class is led by ATH Quandre Diggs, LB Steve Edmond, DB Josh Turner, OL Sedrick Flowers, DT Desmond Jackson, and Oklahoma DB Josh Turner. Still, I think they miss out sometimes on late bloomers in Texas and on some of the top players nationally.
PS, Brandon Adams of 790 The Zone has announced that he is leaving the station to go back into education, his profession before he moved to 790 full-time several years back. Good luck BA. We are trying to get in touch with him for a comment. Score Atlanta was able to reach The Zone's programming director Matt Edgar. For more, check out TheFletch this Friday on SBF and in Score Atlanta.
