DEL.ICIO.USWho wins these recruiting battles?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
•Greater Atlanta Christian running back Caleb King: Even after having his senior season cut short by a broken leg, King has his choice of all the biggest colleges. He said Friday that he had not yet decided which five schools that he would take his official visits to. With his friendship with Auburn running back Brad Lester, Tommy Tuberville’s Tigers seem to have the upper hand. But when Notre Dame and USC come knocking it’s hard to say no. Prediction: Auburn
•Peachtree Ridge defensive lineman Cameron Heyward: This 6-foot-6, 282-pound animal wants to play both basketball and football at the next level. He’ll visit Ohio State before making his choice. Georgia, Tennessee and Clemson are also on his radar. Prediction: Georgia
•Greater Atlanta Christian quarterback Lee Chapple: LSU, Auburn, Boston College, Georgia and Louisville have shown interest, but no official offers have been made, yet. He visited Samford over the weekend. Prediction: Samford
•Central Gwinnett linebacker Bryce Smith: With Colorado coach Dan Hawkins looking on, Smith rocked Grayson with 14 tackles on Friday. Georgia, Memphis and Vanderbilt are in the mix as well. Prediction: Georgia

Whatever team is lucky enough to sign Bryce Smith, they’ll get a first class young man, as well as a playmaker.
Bryce will be a leader from day one… he’s certainly one of the “key” reasons for Central’s resurgance. Good luck Bryce.

Joe … Seems like Massaquoi got most of the preseason pub., but I’ve heard coaches say that Smith is hands-down the best player at Central. Where do you think he’ll end up in college?

Well the Colorado Head Coach showed up Friday night to see him… so I would assume the Buffaloes are in the running. I’ve heard Memphis, South Carolina mentioned as well.
Personally… I think Bryce hasn’t given it much thought, as he has really been focused on the Black Knights season, and his recruitment has just really started.
I don’t see a clear cut favorite right now.

I agree, whatever team gets Bryce will be a very lucky team. He is a fine young man with a great future in front of him.
