The college basketball live evaluation period opened today, meaning that coaches can visit high school practices and other events. This first day is critical in recruiting, because if a coach takes the time to see you before he sees anyone else, then you're obviously high on his radar.
Coaches are looking to close the deal on 2014 recruits prior to the early signing period in November (at the end of this live evaluation period), so it's always interesting to see where they go.
ATL is buzzing with college coaches this morning. You never know who you'll bump into during the eval period in this loaded city.

Georgia has six players who are high-major 4-star locks in this cycle, and five are committed. The sixth is SG Ahmed Hill, and he's already announced his final list of five schools. So why were all the coaches in Georgia?
2015. 2016. The place is loaded.
Georgia always has a ton of talent, but the next two classes have the potential to be special in Georgia. If you look into where the your team's staff was today, there's a good chance that at least one began his morning at the Atlanta airport.
Not only are there a lot of coaches in ATL today, there are a lot of head coaches in ATL today. 2015/2016 has priority recruits in GA.
