Georgia Top 250 Early Preview
For the 2nd year, Georgia will be hosting its Top 250 Expo at LakePoint Sporting Complex on September 22nd. Year 1 was a success, but we are hoping to do things bigger and better this time around. We are now under a month from the event and lots of talented prospects have already secured their spots for camp. This camp will be a great setting for both the top players in Georgia and those looking to improve their reputation and recruitment. Close to 25 college programs were in attendance last year and that should continue this time around.

Here we will take a look at the state-ranked prospects who are already confirmed to attend early on. Last year’s camp proved to be a perfect stage to get on our radar and jump into the rankings following the event as well.
2020:
So far, our 2020 group is headlined by Kennesaw State commit Chris Youngblood, along with some other D1 prospects who emerged this summer from around the state. Following those guys we have some nice sleepers that should start to get considerable recruitment throughout the high school season.

Kirshon Thrash (#40 in Georgia/Offer from Presbyterian)

2021:
Last year, the camp’s 2021 group was very strong and it seems that this will be the case again this year. 7 prospects within the Top 30 and 9 within the Top 50 are confirmed for camp. A lot of these guys saw their stock soar during the past travel season, but are still hungry for more. We also have numerous players who started to make a name for themselves over the summer and should surprise people this winter.
