Ealier this week, Janovitz and I unveiled out Georgia Dream Team of prospects that could make up a football team with 11 offensive players, 11 defensive players and one kicker that could take on any other state's "Dream Team." (Of course, for more great analysis like this, listen to our show on a SPECIAL NIGHT! This Monday from 7-9pm ONLY on Sports Radio 790 The Zone or www.790thezone.com)
We did this because we ran across an interesting piece on rivals.com where the site called Georgia typically the No.4 state in the country (behind Texas, Florida and Cali) in terms of college prospects, but that Louisiana was giving it a run for its money this year. While the site DID give Georgia a 10-point win, both Scott and I had problems with the team the site put together. Therefore, we decided to make our own teams. With no further ado...
Note: I wanted an offense that could go with multiple looks, suck as Wing-T all the way to Spread. Scotty wanted SPEED, SPEED, AND MORE SPEED.
QB Me: Nick Marshall of Wilcox
Scott: Martay Mattox of Clarke-Central
RB Both: Isaiah Crowell of Carver-Columbus
WR Me: Chris Conley of North Paulding, Justin Scott-Wesley of Mitchell Co, Quan Bray of Callaway as H-Back
Scott: Chris Conley of North Paulding; Zach Witchett, Washington; Quan Bray, Callaway
TE Me: Jay Rome of Valdosta
Scott: Xzavier Dickson of Griffin
OL Me: LT-Xzavier Ward of Colquitt Co; LG Alan Posey of C-C; C David Andrews of Wesleyan; RG Thomas O'Reilly of Pope; RT Watts Dantzler of Dalton
Scott: LT Watts Dantzler, Dalton; LG Thomas O’Reilly, Pope; C Tarik Cook, Stephenson; RG Kyle Harris, Pepperell; RT Xavier Ward, Colquitt County.
Defense. I went with a 3-4 while Scott went traditional with a 4-3.
DLine Me: DE Ray Drew of TCC, DT Stephon Tuitt of Monroe Area, DE Gabe Wright of Carver-Columbus
Scott: DE Ray Drew, DT Gabe Wright, DT Chris Mayes of Spalding, DE Stephon Tuitt
LBs Me: OLB Terrance Smith of SWD, ILB James Vaughters of Tucker, ILB AJ Johnson of Gainesville, OLB Sterling Bailey (though he may be too slow, but I wanted him to be able to walk up to the line and put a hand down if need be)
Scott: WLB Terrance Smith, MLB James Vaughters, SLB Shannon Brown of Cook
CBs Me: Damian Swann of Grady, Malcolm Mitchell of Valdosta (I wanted physical corners ala Gratham's request. These guys are physical to say the least.)
Scott: Jared Boyd of Stephenson and Nick Marshall of Wilcox
S Me: Corey Moore of Griffin and Brian Randolph of Kell
Scott: Corey Moore and Avery Walls of Union Grove
K Me: Will Monday of Flowery Branch
I felt bad leaving off CJ Uzomah of NoGwin as well as Ronnie Bell of Sandy Creek, same with Chris Sanders of Tucker and Dickson, but I had to make some cuts.
I'd put this team against any state's team....and I bet I'd win
I'd have loved to have had the stable of RBs from last year though. I'd have to run the Wing-T, but it might be fun. Last year's team off the top of my head....
QB: Connor Shaw, FloBranch
RB: Rajion Neal, Mack Brown with Rajaan Bennett as an A-Back
FB Martez Eastland
WR: Da'Rick Rogers
OLine:LT JuWuan James, G K Houston, C Daniel Blitch, RG David Beasley, RT David Yankey
DLine: Garrison Smith, Jeff Whitaker, Michael Thornton, TJ Stripling
LB Tyrone Cornelius, Telvin Smith, Neiron Ball
CB BJ Bostic, Brad Roby
S Alec Ogletree, Daunte Carr
K Joe Mansour
