Every time a coach leaves a school, the kids he has recruited tend to become fair game. Tulane has already seen a couple who chose to decommit after CJ’s firing. I also noticed that Mark Richt, the new head coach at Miami, has said he’d be interested in any of the commits he had at Georgia who, having chosen the school at least in part due to the coaching staff, might be interested in following him.
So, I thought I’d take a look at who Georgia Southern has committed. Interestingly enough, their class is rated higher than Tulane’s by everyone, though I don’t put much stock in that. They do have several very interesting commits that I’d think would deserve a look. One, Drew Wilson, a 6’3 285# offensive guard from South Carolina had offers from Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kansas State, Louisville, UNC, North Carolina State, and Virginia Tech among others. Maybe all of those folks are wrong, but we’ve not had many people with that many P5-level offers, well, ever.
Another one is a wide receiver from Georgia, Jacob Robertson, who has 15 offers, including ones from Miami, Pitt, and Tennessee.
Several others, at least based on the number of P5-level offers, also look good.
I have no idea why these kids chose Georgia Southern over some very high profile schools, but Willie Fritz must be part of the reason. If he can get a solid recruiter to work southern Louisiana and retain his obvious ties across the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, we might be able to make some noise in the not-too-distant future.
Roll, Coach Fritz; Roll Wave!!!
