We've done this thread the last couple years during the season. Since we're on the verge of what should be our strongest recruiting class since 2008 in Richt's first full year at the helm, this thread will updated during the offseason as more targets are offered and recruits take part in camps in the spring.
Let's start with 2017 RB commit Robert Burns (5'11", 210 pounds), a high school teammate of three players at Gulliver that just signed with Miami yesterday: DE Joe Jackson, WR Dionte Mullins, and S Cedrick Wright.
Burns, who has already been named as a 2017 Under Armour All-American, is an athletic freak who posted a 118.26 SPARQ score as a high school sophomore in 2014 and bested that number last spring with a 122.91. He's coming off an injury-plagued junior season that unfortunately didn't dispel concerns about his durability. But he's a back with great size, elite athleticism, and enormous potential.
After taking only one RB in each of the last two classes, we'll likely be looking to add two in 2017. Burns must be one of them, IMO, and there's no excuse to lose him considering the presence of Baez and three of his close friends (Jackson/Mullins/Wright) at Miami. Hanging onto his commitment should be a top priority.

Here are Burns' sophomore highlights, which I'm posting instead of his junior clips because he was greatly limited due to injury last season. His junior highlight tape is less than a minute long as a result of his unfortunate injury issues.
