If you missed Score Atlanta's The Official Visit last Monday (sorry, it was not on Tuesday as it normally is. It will be back to its normal time next week, 7-9pm 790 The Zone, www.790thezone.com.) Scott "the brain" Janovitz (self-proclaimed) and myself "Doc Proc" as he calls me, broke down the top rising high school senior WR in the state of Georgia. We want to point out that while last year had Markeith Ambles and Da'Rick Rogers and Michael Bennett, the rest of the list was lacking. This year, while no SUPERSTARS, we feel it has more depth of quality receivers, if that makes sense. Our lists......
Scott's:
1. Quan Bray: 5-11, 178-pound WR out of Callaway. Good hands, but tremendous speed, agility, and open-field moves. Offers from just about everyone, but Alabama, Clemson and Georgia lead.
2. Chris Conley: 6-3, 180-pounder out of North Paulding. Great size, good hands, surprisingly good after the catch, and tremendous at going up and getting the ball. I only doubt his speed running routes and coming out of breaks.
3. Zach Witchett: 6-0, 185-pounder out of Washington High. Great agility, athleticism, speed and leaping ability. Also an impressive pass catcher.
4. Justin Scott-Wesley: 6-1, 210 pounds out of Mitchell County. Needs to improve his true receiving skills, and though he has very good size at 6-1, 210 pounds, he doesn’t seem to play football at the speed he runs track.
5. Nile Daniel: 6-0, 180 pounds out of Grffin. Lacks elite speed and explosion, but if very quick, has great hands, is an excellent rout runner and makes all the tough catches. Offers from Maryland, South Florida and Troy.
My list:
1) Chris Conley. I like this guy a lot, but it probably has something to do with the fact he is headed to Georgia. Much like Scotty, I like his size and hands. He reminds me of Herman Moore of UVa and Detroit Lions fame. Georgia has a good one here that I doubt will ever kick a cop when he's knocked out on the ground.
2) Justin Scott-Wesley. He is the fastest person in the history of Georgia high school athletics (well, he broke the 100M dash time at last year's T&F championships, which of course is the "fastest person alive" event.) and you have to think that Georgia will take full advantage of that. Plus at 6-1, that is not too shabby of a height to go with that speed.
3) Zach Witchett. Yet another Georgia guy, I know. But he is the next great athlete from Booker T Washington. Branden Smith is doing pretty well. This guy will too. Georgia will get the 6-0 on the field in some capacity (receiver or DB)
4) Michael Showers, 6'2 Camden County. This guy is just the big target the 2X defending state champs need to make it three in a row. Two years ago I watched at the Dome as DeAngelo Smith, who would go on to SoCar, made several big catches in the Camden Co Wing-T offense after the defense had been lulled to sleep with the FB dive and the Buck Sweep. Smith is in Columbia, insert the 6'2 Showers. Camden's coaches know they have a weapon here with that size.
5) Alex Chisum, Sandy Creek. This was the possession guy on last year's 4-A champs and with WR Jarrett Davis gone and Rajion Neal in Knoxville, the Cincy-commit should see plenty of TD passes coming his way from QB Ronnie Bell. Chisum has proven he can secure the catch, but he needs to work on his breakaway speed. The hands are there though folks. Relax. He'll be able to score plenty for the Patriots this year and may have to as they dropped to Class AAA and will face some tough competition in Region4-AAA with Spalding and Henry County.
