This Jahmyr Gibbs kid may be a dude whose stock starts rising quickly... here is a snippet from the Georgia High School Football Daily email on Gibbs performance last week and being named the state player of the week.
-Gibbs rushed for 420 yards and eight touchdowns - both school records - in Dalton's opening game.
"He has worked as hard in the offseason as any player that I have had in the last 27 years," Dalton coach Matt Land said. "He's worked on all phases: mental, physical, running, passing, returning. He wants to be a complete back and player."
Gibbs rushed for 1,431 yards as a junior. Gibbs has committed to Georgia Tech. He's rated the No. 10 all-purpose back nationally among seniors by 247Sports. Land said Gibbs is a well-rounded player.
"The first thing I heard him say the other night was that this is not an individual achievement but one that everyone played a part in, including offensive line, defense and special teams," Land said. "Great kid."
How is their OL and DL recruiting so far?
All 3 stars but bigger than normal. 4 OTs and 1 OG
Dline - 2 SDE and 2WDE, need more beef
I would say Tech does have a strong potential class and future, but I would probably start worrying when they start building and upgrading football facilities. Right now they do get an initial bump and Collins is a great recruiter, but he can only do so much if he doesn't get some financial support.
Afterall, the constant complaint by Paul Johnson was the lack of financial support.
Agreed, and definitely no worries here just like to check on what little brother is up to. They could help is down the road keeping guys from midlevel SEC schools while becoming competitive in the ACC (and maybe pull off a miracle knockout every now and then to on of their top teams)
I love this lo-tech approach - out on the streets, no need for a gym today. Looks like a nice workout with hills and plyo type work.
Collins put together a really solid class so far for his first year. If he can wrap up Gibbs that'd be huge for them. Top 30 class with top 25 potential. He may grow to be a pretty big thorn for AU, UT, UF, USCj and others as far as recruiting GA
Last time they had a Top 30 class was 2007 (Chan Gailey's final season).
That group included QB Josh Nesbitt and future All-Americans Morgan Burnett, Jonathan Dwyer, and Derrick Morgan.
They were a big part of the reason Paul Johnson was successful his first couple of seasons on the Flats.
