Atlanta (Ga.) Douglass senior Jontae Gilbert talked to Georgia Rivals after officially visiting Georgia this weekend. I get the sense that the Bulldogs have been blowing hot and cold about Gilbert's abilities. This week, it is trending up, at least for now. UGA wants him as a corner.
The problem is that Gilbert wants to commit Oct. 19, so that is basically forever in the recruiting game. He plans to hit up Georgia in July and a game in the fall.
Gilbert is doing a mid-week visit to NC State, and South Carolina, Louisville and Central Florida are in the mix. I guess it will simply be a waiting game to see if Georgia really does want Gilbert, or at some point, schools start to fill up.
In many ways, Gilbert's recruitment reminds me of Asaad Brown's a year ago. They started off hot, and Gilbert committed early to Ohio State. Then it started to cool down and some schools jumped off the bandwagon. And NC State just holds steady throughout the whole process.
