Five-star running back John Emery from Georgia, reopens recruitment



[ad_1]

As it turns out, even Georgia can not keep every five-star recruit.

On Thursday evening, John Emery, a five-star prospect and the No. 2 overall running back for the 2019 clbad, announced on Twitter that he was decommitting from the Bulldogs.

Decommits like these happen all the time, but the loss of Emery is a pretty sizable deal in the recruiting game. At 5-foot-11 and 206 pounds, he already has an ideal size for the position. He possesses a well-rounded skill set, including excellent change-of-direction and hands out of the backfield. This is not a bad idea, but this has been a tough one. Emery had been verbally committed since July.

As for what's next, 247Sports' crystal ball has a heavy lean towards in-state program LSU at 84 percent. The Tigers typically have a good job keeping local talent in Baton Rouge. Could this be the next big commit for coach Ed Orgeron?
