CJ Johnson, 2014: Sleeper alert! We've long known about the Clarke Central (Ga.) High School star dating back to his days with Team Athens. Now with the Smyrna Stars, the class of 2014 is one of the top sleepers in the Peach State.
Reggie Reid, 2015: The Harlem (Ga.) High School guard has turned his program around and made it into a winner. So why haven't any of the schools that are recruiting him offered him?
Avery Patterson, 2014
: We're not sure if there was a more impressive point guard in Georgia in May than the Wheeler product. He climbed up our lists after his strong spring. So, what motivates him on the hardwood?
