Not familiar with Georgia high schools

They started Recruiting

I hear Bishop Sycamore is going to be pretty sick this year

When I coached at Athens Academy the high school football powerhouses were located in the southern part of the state in places like Valdosta. As the Atlanta area grew that changed a little and now you see some of the private schools in Atlanta producing some excellent players. Schools like The Lovett School are so wealthy that they are able to recruit at a high level and offer scholarships.

Grayson became a factory about 10-15 years ago. Went from growing, little country town to football crazy. Definitely began to change the dynamics of the population. Grayson began blurring the lines of residency. Most notably the Nkemdiche brothers. One RB came from Morrow (south of Atlanta) His dad had an apartment in town put in his name that no one ever lived in. Most of the talent in Ga comes from public schools. The privates are usually super expensive. It’s not like the Catholic schools of La and athletic scholarships. Many powerhouses here are city schools that recruit for sports. Ie- Buford High School. Or, as we call it, Buford University. Occasionally, some of the richy private schools will produce high ranked FB talent. They don’t seem to be as appealing to players as the powerhouse public schools. They do, however, produce a sh*t load of baseball talent.

This…
Additionally, talent will come out of Brookwood/Parkview clusters. As for private/catholic schools, you’ll get the one off talent that you’ve mentioned like Kyle Hamilton out of Marist and our very own T-Bob out of Greater Atlanta Christian

LSU has gotten a number of players from Ga. Some from the Marietta area, which includes Lassiter High. Some might remember the Auburn Tight End, Philip Lutzenkirchen was a student-athlete at Lassiter High School. Also LSU Soccer athlete, Mo Isom graduated from Lassiter.

It looks like the final sixteen teams in the 7A playoffs last year were all public schools:

Milton
Walton
Camden County
Grayson
Colquitt County
Mill Creek
Carrollton
Buford
Collins Hill
North Gwinnett
McEachern
North Paulding
Westlake
Peachtree Ridge
Valdosta
Norcross

6A had some prominent private schools in the football playoffs. Woodward Academy and Marist made it to the final four.

I went to that 2016 Grayson-IMG game that was on ESPN. IMG won with Dylan Moses, Jahmon Ausbon, Kellen Mond, Grant Delpit 26-7. Grayson then ran off 14 consecutive wins and won 7A. Behind Delpit, I thought Grayson athlete Jamyest Williams was the best on the field. I couldn’t find Dylan Moses with a program and binoculars.

The private schools out here are moreso known for producing basketball talent than football talent , but hell even the public schools are recruiting out here it’s always been like that
