Ridgeland is AAA. That’s next week. But I’ve got to warn you: Class AAA is loaded with elite players, much more impressive than AAAA and on par with AAAAA, in my opinion. I’m not saying Bowman won’t make that list, but AAA will be a tough lineup to crack.

The so called “Rivals” ratings mean pretty much nothing to me. They are based primarily upon football camps, and place virtually no emphasis on academics. The AJC. ratings are more closely held and better researched. Based more upon performance on the field, along with the BIG picture. Unfortunately, some of our state’s best athletes are unable to attend high profile football camps. Some of them have necessary summer jobs. Others simply do not have the financial resources to mingle with the Rivals elite nerds. Bottom line is: Regardless of the Rivals ratings, when all is said and done, the top players in GHS football will be well represented both at the college level and later on, in the NFL.

I agree with Guru about Eric “all over the” Feilds(LB-NSWR) being on the list,,, HOWEVER,, one on one,,open feild—— Jonathon Davis vs. E. Feilds = = Jonathon Davis would DUST HIM !!! Eric is very good no doubt,,, but Davis is WAY STRONGER and WAY FASTER. Davis coud run through him, over him, or around him. And on the flipside(after tons of ball carries) J.Davis lays dowm the HAMMER on Defence. Both sides of the ball at “take-a-beating” positions. Ask dem Northside boys about Davis,,, we all know that they know and you know that we know that you know too! Davis is top tier at RB or at LB

I may be wrong (somebody please correct me) but I don’t believe Lowndes has ever had a Super 11 except Randal Godfrey. On this list we have 2! Just goes to show Super 11’s don’t guarantee state championships. In fact most Super 11’s probably don’t win state championships. Teamwork is what its all about.

By Derrick Mahone

June 30, 2008 11:41 PM | Link to this

holla The beauty of the Super 11 team is that it is not tied into certain positions like picking an all-state team where you need a QB, RBs, OLs and so on. You try to identify the best 11 players regardless of position. I think the majority of the top senior players happen to be on defense with a handful of good wide receivers. LBs and DBs are the strong points in 2009 class. As you can see by my list, I didn’t have a quarterback on either the 5A or 4A list. Not to say their isn’t any good QBs out there, but I have other position players rated higher than the senior QBs. Todd made a good point in a conversion we had last week when discussing the Super 11 team is that the QB position is probably the most important in high school and college (and pros for that matter). I agreed, but pointed out to not just put a QB on the Super 11 for sake of it being a QB when other players may warrent consideration.

yo Lowndes has actually had two Super 11 players. In 1999, Jay Ratliff made the preseason team. There have been several players that have had the fortunate to being named Super 11, earned a free ride to college and won a state championship. The intent of being Super 11 is not to pick championships. The award “is what it is” an individual award bestowed upon a player at the being of the season to acknowledge his football prowess. A state champion, like you said is about teamwork, solid coaching, stay realitively injury free, ect.

DeKalb Football & GURU Both players are solid players in their own right. Jonathan Davis will probably be DB on the next level. Saw him as a sophomore at Pius and last year at Tucker and was real impressed. The most impressive thing about J.D. is he plays much bigger than his size. He has very good speed and is strong.

TigerFrom DC My answer to holla should explain why no QB is on my 5A or 4A list.

Derrick, thanks for the reply. I see your point - you shouldn’t have to pick a QB (or a player from any other position) if you don’t feel that they are “as good” as other players. Hopefully with DC’s new schedule (playing a couple of ATL schools) you’ll get a chance to really watch Caldwell play. If you do, I think he will earn your respect - it’ll be too late for the Super 11 but there’s nothing we can do about that at this point… there’s always All-State!! Thanks again.

Greg started the season as a back up QB for Grayson. After standing on the sidelines waiting his turn, and many requests from the defensive coaching staff, he moved to OL and turned it on! at 6ft. 2 1/2 inches, 220lbs, running a 4.5 in the 40yd, a 3.9 5-1-5, 540lb. squat, 325lb. bench press, 315 lb. power clean. he is a force worth watching for, just ask the two QB’s of Shiloh last year that were put out of the game

TigerFrom DC Tony Caldwell was honorable mention all-state so kind of hard to say we don’t respect him. I think he is a good high school player that will definitely land a scholarship, but don’t think he is Super 11 going into the season. System he plays in will allow for another big year as far as stats. He has proven to be a good replacement for Ricky Dobbs (Naval Academy). In 2005, saw Dobbs and Eric Berry square off in The Swamp.

We have had some good responses to the blog and with a lot of names. Unfortunately there are only 11 spots.

Just a look back at last year’s Super 11 and hopefully you see the caliber of player we are looking for:

Allen Bailey, MCA, Miami - only played in one game last season for the Canes, but was expected to be a big contributor this season. Unfortunately hurt in offseason and might miss some time.

Eric Berry, Creekside, Tennessee - The AJC all-class player of the year was a freshman All-American and SEC Fresh of the Year by the Sporting News.

Morgan Burnett, North Clayton, Ga. Tech - Played in all 13 games, making one start. Had 57 tackles and led team with three INT.

*Rennie Curran * Brookwood, UGA - played in 11 games with five starts. Had 53 tackles, including nine tackle for losses.

Jonathan Dwyer Kell, Ga. Tech - Played in 13 games and rushed for 436 yards and 9 TDs. Listed No. 1 on 2008 Depth Chart.

*Cameron Heyward * Peachtree Ridge, The Ohio State University - Played in every game and had 33 tackles, 10 TFL and 2.5 sacks for Big Ten Champion.

Caleb King GAC, UGA - Redshirted

*Ted Laurent * McEachern, Ole Miss - Played in seven games

*Josh Nesbitt * Greene County, GA Tech - Played in 11 games last season with 339 yards rushing and 91 yards passing. Listed first team on ‘08 depth chart

D.J. Stafford LaGrange, Kentucky - Played last fall at Harmony Prep School in Cincinnati.

Israel Troupe Tift County, UGA - Redshirted

Todd, you should have a look at David Carter and Forrest Holt at Sprayberry. Most 5A defenses couldn’t stop these guys and I don’t see too many 4A defenses doing any better. I know Sprayberry has no “history” like some ofthese other programs, but perhaps you should take talent and experience into consideration. These two seniors deserve that consideration.

By Todd Holcomb

*odd, you should have a look at David Carter and Forrest Holt at Sprayberry. *

I don’t know much about Forrest, but I’ve seen Carter a few times, starting when he was a freshman, and am surprised he’s not more highly regarded as a recruit. I suspect he’ll be a very good college player somewhere.

re: Super 11

Good list by Derrick on how the 2006 team has fared. FOUR started as true freshmen — Curran, Burnett, Heyward, Berry. That’s remarkable. Yes, we’re talking very elite players for the Super 11.

*Its about time I see Myer Nolan get some love. *

I just saw him once last year and was impressed, and he was HM all-state, which shows he has the respect of coaches and sportswriters who saw him. He’s not a big recruit to this point, however. But he’s a good player.

most of augusta teams are 4-A teams�are any of these players worthy of mention??? People cry about south georgia not getting any respect but if you ask me, the augusta area is totally being overlooked.

Good point, and to be honest, I probably should’ve included Jerico Brown of Glenn Hills, a DL. But I had him in my Class AAA list because that’s where he made all-state last year.

Willie Burden of Statesboro High School and Daruis slay of brunswick should also be considered. for class AAAA

I thought about Slay. Wasn’t that his brother the linebacker several years ago for Brunswick? He was one of the best defensive players I”ve ever seen.

*I may be wrong (somebody please correct me) but I don�t believe Lowndes has ever had a Super 11 except Randal Godfrey. *

And Jay Ratliff, 1999

Riverdale High Jammie Advincula OL tell me about how good he is.give some in-put I heard about him he is good he will be senior next year.

He’s not on my senior list of players to watch from Riverdale. Hope I’m not missing a good one.

Super 11 in all classifications is a great idea. With all the great players in this state each year, how about the Super 22 in each class?

Not enough time in the day. But we will be having a Georgia Top 150 in all classes later this summer. You heard it hear first.

here are better qb�s out there, is tamburo who you would build a offense around? he�s decent but not quite super 11,

I think it’s a mistake to judge Tamburo on the Lowndes game. Lots of players don’t look good in their final game, since it’s usually a loss. I’m not saying that Tamburo is the second coming of Zeier, but he’s got a dozen or more offers from mid-majors. He’s legit, even if his size (6-foot) is keeping the door shut in the SEC and ACC.

Stephen Hill (WR Miller Grove) is definitely a Super 11 pick. Nothing against the players you selected in AAAA, but there is no way you can tell me that there are 11 players in the classification better than him.

I know he’s got some SEC offers, so you might be right. To me, WR is one of the hardest positions to rate guys because there are just so many good ones every year in Georgia, at least in recent years.

Is there a list of the Georgia super 100 play !

Coach Shep In regards to Stephen Hil, hel could prove after a year or two in college to be the best WR in the state’s 2009 class. He definitely has the height (6-foot-4) and speed. Will probably add another 15-20 pounds in a college conditioning program. Last season he definitely played in a strong region (Region 6-AAAA) against several D-1 caliber players. Would like to have seen him have a big game against one of those better teams. He had 24 receptions for 500 yards and eight touchdowns, unfortunately, 16 receptions, 309 yards and six touchdowns came against the likes of Stone Mountain, North Springs, Lakeside and St. Pius, which was the only of those to have a winning record. Stephen will be a strong consideration for the DeKalb/City Super 11 team that comes out in August.

Derrick thanks again for your time - I value your feedback. Respectfully, I do think that Caldwell could stand up to most of the 2006 players you listed - obviously Eric Berry is SuperHuman so maybe not him!! Since Tony is not the prototypical QB he will (most likely) not land any ACC/SEC offers but that’s ok because he will end up at a GREAT school where he fits into the system.

Regarding All-State HM: I definitely appreciate the recognition. Those that have taken the time to watch him play know that he is worthy. He will post better stats this year against bigger competition so hopefully he’ll make the All-State list again for 2008.

Regarding Super 11: I never expected that he’d actually make it into the final 2007 group just because of his size and the fact that most people have never seen him play but it doesn’t hurt to throw his name out there - he deserves to be considered…

Anyway, hope to see you at a game or 2 this year!!

Eric Fields is about 6’2 205 and runs like a deer. He is a very athletic kid and will knock your head off. He reminds me of a guy I use to play with; Raynoch Thompson.

To use a phrase from the College World Series, Tamburo was 4-1 in elimination games last season. : )

When r you gonna get 2 the other classes. Enough of the 5A & 4A. Eventhough I think besides maybe three players all the other Super 11 is in the larger classes.

On a different subject check out these articles in the Valdosta Daily Times. Actually since one of Lowndes Highs previous super 11s is being interviewed it makes a good segway.

We need everyone in the area to show up for Titletown on Wednesday. It’s a great achievement for Valdosta. We need to try and fill the stands.

I personally think coaching has a great deal to do with the overall development of great super 11 athletes. I am certain there are numerous great coaches in the state;however, Coach Jeff Herron and his staff always find a way to win. Does Camden have players that should be on the super eleven list? I think so; however, if there were a list for super 11 coaches, Camden would have several coaches listed. As in the past, we will play with what we have and continue to see our players sign scholarships. I look forward to another great season. One thing I know for certain, the little program in the souteast corner of Georgia will certainly be as prepared. Congratulations to all that were selected as super 11 players. I am certain all of you are very deserving of the honor of being selected. As a Wildcat fan, I look forward to another great season. Thanks to all the great Camden coaches as well as players.

Go Wildcats
