Brian Jones of Score Atlanta fame provided The Official Visit a "Big Board" for Georgia Tech as of 6/27/11. Big B provided the list and co-hosts Scott Janovitz and myself, Fletcher Proctor broke it down on The Official Visit on Sports Radio 790 The Zone (Every Monday from 8-10pm!) Enjoy!
1) Dalvin Tomlinson: 6-2, 270-pound DT/DE out of Henry County. He’s be the best recruit Tech has landed in the Paul Johnson era, and would fill a huge need to Tech along the defensive line, especially with his versatility. He’s been to Tech in the last month, and will most likely play end for them. He says he is comfortable there and thinks he could make a huge impact there. The Yellow Jackets will have to beat out Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, Indiana, Georgia, Clemson and South Carolina, to name a few. Will take his recruitment down to the end;
2) Roderick Chungong: 6-3, 250-pound DE out of Maryland. Tech needs athletic play makers along the defensive line and Chungong is just that. Not only that, but Tech is Chungong’s current leader and the Maryland product is expecting early playing time on the Flats. To me, this is just a matter of when;
3) Matt Dobson: 6-1, 206-pound QB out of Tallahassee. Has offers from FIU, Tech and Samford. The Yellow Jackets want a QB and this is their best bet. Dobson calls the Yellow Jackets his leader, and is waiting on offers from Louisville and Tennessee. He’s a dynamic athlete, could play safety;
4) Chris Moody: 6-0, 197-pound QB out of Henry County. Could be a nice package deal with Tomlinson. Not close to a decision yet, but Tech coaches are telling him he is close to losing his spot. He is also considering Clemson and UCF. Duke, UCF and Tech looking at Moody to play QB, Miss. State, Clemson and SC want him at DB. Will decide around fourth game of the season;
5) Derrick Nelson: 6-4, 285-pounder out of DC. Has offers from Tech, Delaware, Rutgers and Syracuse. Tech always need linemen, and Nelson says Tech, Rutgers and Temple are his leaders, and you have to like Tech’s chances there. He recently visited Tech and will be back in July. Wants to make a decision during his senior season, but says he sometimes thinks of committing earlier;
6) K’Hadree Hooker: 6-2, 280-pound DT/OG out of NC. Tech loves to recruit the Tar Heel State, and Hooker can play along either line. He has plans to visit Tech in the next month or so, and currently calls Tech, N.C. State and Virginia Tech his leaders, in no order. Another guy that won’t decide until the middle of his senior season;
7) Shadrach Thornton: 6-1, 207-pound RB out of Liberty County. Tech could definitely use a RB and he is the best left on their board. He recently excelled at a Tech camp and earned himself an offer as a result. He is seriously considering the Yellow Jackets, in addition to Kentucky, N.C. State, and Vandy. Kentucky offered first and is the leader, with Tech following close second, though they only just offered. Recruited to play A and B back at Tech;
8) Jonathan Jones: 5-10, 165-pound corner out of Carrollton. Jones is a major prospect and could be a lot higher on this list, but he plays a position at which Tech needs less help. He earned an Auburn offer over the weekend, recently took a trip to Miss. State, and has plans to visit Tennessee and FSU in mid-July. He says Tech will be in it until the end, however. He is open to taking visit on into his senior season, but also says he will commit over the summer if it feels right;
9) Kaiwan Lewis: 6-2, 227-pound LB out of New Jersey. Florida leads at the moment, but the Gators may go in another direction, which could really help Tech here. Lewis has plans to visit Tech in late July, and will also visit Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida and FSU during the month. He says he really likes coach Groh and wants to learn more about the school, so you can’t count Tech out until Lewis at least visits the school;
10) Jordan Jenkins: 6-3, 245-pound DE out of Harris County. Jenkins is clearly the best player on the board and continues to say Tech has a shot so, though I don’t believe him, he gets No. 10 on the list. He actually visited the Flats over the weekend and had a great time. Both his parents love Tech and he likes the engineering program. He won’t decide until December or January, but Tech has to beat out Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn and others for the talented Jenkins.
