Correction: EJ SMITH is an APB and Tank is a RB. Kendall Milton could very well end up in this class. Zachary Evans won't be.
Not sure if the ILB spot will be a priority in the 2020 class.
It was prioritized and capitalized on in the 2018 and 2019 classes. Clearly.
Murphy is far from a lock though Georgia is the favorite. Hearing he likes Clemson a lot, too.
Dutchtown defensive end William Anderson is seeing his already strong stock continue to rise. He's already added to his long list of thirty offers.
One team that's absent from the group, however, is the in-state Bulldogs, who made a stop in Anderson's home town of Hampton on Tuesday.
"[Georgia] would most definitely give me something to think about, but it's all about what fits me best," Anderson said. "I want to get there and see what they're about. I also want to see how they're talking and how it all goes."
While Kirby Smart was leading the charge on Tuesday, it's another staffer who's been Anderson's primary contact so far.
"I speak mostly to coach Tray Scott," Anderson said. "They're thinking of me more as an outside linebacker right now."
Will Georgia's early hesitance to offer cost them in the end?
"I wouldn't say it'll affect it, but it's something to think about," Anderson said.
Regardless, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound pass rusher has plenty of other options.
"Auburn, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Florida, Florida State, Tennessee, and Kentucky. I feel close with all of them, because they all show me a lot of love and make me feel like family," Anderson said. "I just have to get back and see them to see how each fits."
He's already put in visits to several programs.
"At Auburn, it's just the family atmosphere they have and the crowds. Also, their facilities are nice," Anderson said. "The head coach offered me, and that's something no other school has done. It shocked me. That sets them apart from every other school."
Willie Taggart's staff also impressed.
"Florida State was nice. As soon as you walk in, all the coaches huddle up around you and make you feel like you're already one of their players," Anderson said. "I got to sit down with Coach Taggart in his office as well. It was just nice. They gave me one of the best visits I've had so far. I feel like they're coming up. They're up to something new. The recruiting class they just got should be one of the best they've gotten. I think you'll see a turnaround at Florida State this year."
The three-star defender is in no rush, however.
"If it's where I fit, it's where I fit," Anderson said. "It's all about getting around the right people and the right group of men and making it all click."
Anderson hopes to click with some of those teams this spring.
"I'll go to Mississippi State, Auburn, Florida State, and Tennessee," he said of his upcoming plans.
Georgia Twitter was ablaze last Friday when 2020 five-star linebacker Mekhail Sherman tweeted the following:

The nation's No. 18 overall junior said the Bulldogs have been making that love clear in a number of ways.
"Georgia just has a different vibe about things. It's more of a family vibe. It's been through communication on texts and Facetime," he said. "They also visited my school last Friday."
Given the number of UGA staffers stopping by to check on the Washington, D.C.-based playmaker, that's not hard to believe.
"Actually, it's Coach [Glenn] Schumann, Dan Lanning, and Nick Williams who are recruiting me," Sherman said. "It's been great to know them and have them bond within my family."
If the familial aspect seems like a pattern, it's because it's struck such a chord early.
"They are growing with my family, most importantly," Sherman said. "It's with my sister, my brother-in-law, and my mom, who are the pedestals of my recruitment, and they have responded [to the staff] greatly."
Those discussions have been centered around a combination of getting to know those close to Sherman and imparting on him the role he could fill in Athens.
"It's both," Sherman said. "Basically, they are talking about the game plan with me and how they are going to mold me. Also, it's about how I'm going to fit in their system."
Could that mean stepping in right away?
"If I play my cards right, yes, there's a possibility I'll be able to make an early and immediate impact," Sherman said. "They are still waiting on my decision to be an insider linebacker or outside linebacker."
While the Bulldogs wait on that word, they'll also be waiting on Sherman's next trip to Athens, which should take place this spring.
"Yes, I [plan to see them], and I'll also see LSU, Clemson, and Michigan," he said.
Guys (gal), what music would fit @tiger_62082 's latest posts? Something like the old NFL Films productions?
ROTFL! So good.
“2020 Rian Davis type” -
M Sherman said. "They (UGA) are still waiting on my decision to be an insider linebacker or outside linebacker."
Peruse the Rivals Top 100 for 2020 and OSU owns that top 50.
That will change, a lot of the CBs put in are just reporters getting in early (and if they wind up sticking, a lot of “points” their way)
this 2020 class is going to be crazy
This weekend's visitors:
George Pickens
Kaiir Elam
RB- Mark-Antony Richards
OT- Javonne Shepherd
TE- Brett Seither
It has been said that Kirby would like to finish the class with 3 of these guys.
