Recruiting Recap 10/15




Welcome to another edition of the Recruiting Recap! Thanks for stopping by, and if you are new here, this is a feature where we cover all of the recruiting happenings over the last 24 hours. Every Mon-Fri we tally up the latest offers, commitments and also do a sleeper of the day pick as well! Occasionally, we do a heating up, but only if a recruit is seeing a sudden increase in college offers.

This whole feature is just reporting what has transpired, but if a college wants accurate projections on most of the college prospects in the state of Georgia they should contact us at recruitgeorgia1@gmail.com or checkout our free profiles on the site. We are a NCAA compliant recruiting service and our mission is to create as many avenues for college exposure that the process will allow.

I hope everyone is doing well! Take a moment to checkout some of the other top stories on the website, plus our latest GHSA team rankings too. – David


Commitments

Amarius Mims
2021 Bleckley Co.
Georgia

Scoop: Mims is one of the best athletes we have scouted over the last few years. The 6’7″ giant at Bleckley County was someone we spotted early on in his HS career, to be honest he was hard to miss, and I think it was just a week after he filled out the recruiting form he earned his first offer. Mims has everything you are looking for in OT; elite size, quickness and toughness as well. I don’t pay attention to national ratings, but Mims has to be one of the absolute best in the country. 


Jaden Gaines
2021 Chattahoochee
Eastern Michigan

Scoop: Gaines made some good improvements over the last year adding over 30 lbs. to his frame, and we think he has the ability to be an All-Conference DE at the next level. At 6’5″ and 230 lbs., he has the length to get off blocks fast, and the improved quickness and technique with his hands look great. Gaines is a big time steal for Eastern Michigan, who has put together a strong Georgia recruiting class.

Sleeper of the Day

Maurice Elder
2021 Central-Macon

The APB ended up with 1200 yards in 2019. It looks like he did some damage on kick off returns too. Primarily it’s his feel for reading the field and getting around defenders by using his blocking and good acceleration. The 2021 recruit finds a way down field, and though he doesn’t have elite speed for his size, he does accelerate quickly, and that can certainly throw defenders off. He also makes cuts in the open field that are pretty violent. The one spin move against the grain sent three defenders into one another. His quickness is borderline elite, but lack of size and top end speed are hits against the 2021 recruit. Elder is a good all-around back though. He shows solid hands as a receiver but also a very good blocker. In fact, his blocking is really good. He gets awesome leverage, keeps a flat back and drives his legs like crazy. Elder is a true competitor who just does whatever he can to make an impact. His strong lower body makes weak arm tacklers turn into a wrestling match or he just breaks right through them. It’s actually crazy how hard it is to get him down, and probably the most consistent theme you see on film with Elder. He truly has some of the best balance of any back we have scouted in this recruiting class. Elder has come out his senior year playing big time football and continues to be one of the tougher guys to tackle in the open field. I also like that he is getting a lot more reps at slot receiver, which shows off his versatility and how he can exploit a defense at the next level. Elder has a 3.5 GPA and currently holds an offer from Reinhardt, but we think D2 programs at the bare minimum should give the tough lightening-quick back a strong look. Just last week Elder went for 300 yards on 26 carries, and 4 touchdowns vs Mary Persons.
