Off the Board: A look at Georgia's Committed Seniors
It’s commitment season! Not too long ago, commitments correlated with college football season. The Saturday night lights were used as spotlight recruiting weekends for primary targets.
That’s still the case, but in this evolving recruiting landscape, it seems like players are committing earlier and earlier.
It’s a smart thing too. With the rise of the transfer portal, high school recruiting isn’t the sole priority anymore, and it might not be the priority at all. Thus, most high school players can’t be as picky as they could have in the past.
Holding out for different offers isn’t always the smart move these days, and over the last couple of years, most players are understanding that.
That’s how the late summer has become one of the hottest commitment times as opposed to the fall.
In Georgia, several of the top dogs have made their decisions and have pledged their talents to their future schools.
Until commitments and recruiting start to wane, we’ll regularly review those who are already off the board in the Peach State.
After starting his high school career in North Carolina before transferring to Lawrenceville (Ga) Archer, 2024 G Kahmare Holmes is settling right in the middle with his commitment to Wofford. The Terriers have already landed a commitment from Marietta (Ga) Walton point guard Luke Flynn as well.
Originally from Georgia—will be playing his senior season at Brewster Academy (NH)—and committed to Georgia Tech, 6-foot-11 forward Cole Kirouac had to be included on this list. Kirouac brings a tough mentality with plenty of dexterity and skill on offense. He’s not close to his ceiling as a player yet. With patience and college-level development, Kirouac can blossom into an impactful ACC big man. The new staff at Georgia Tech has had a busy week with G Jaeden Mustaf having committed recently as well.
Jobe’s upside remains top tier. A prospect with his size and shooting touch will always generate intrigue. He has had high-to-mid-major interest in the past. That’s still where we think he can end up eventually in the age of the transfer portal. Rollins got what feels like a steal of a commitment. The Tars got a player with plenty of potential left to uncover.
