LOOK: Julian Humphrey, Chandler Smith, Shemar James all together at UGA
The last weekend before the early signing period is always one of the most chaotic, exciting and surprising of the entire cycle.
Houston Clear Lake four-star cornerback and Georgia commit Julian Humphrey played into that Sunday with a photo he posted on Twitter.
Humphrey posted a photo with Mobile (Ala.) Faith Academy four-star linebacker Shemar James and Orlando (Fla.) Bishop Moore Catholic four-star wide receiver Chandler Smith.
The caption for the photo was “Notice anything??” along with a laughing cat emoji and a dog emoji that has become synonyms with the Dawgs.
The three players were all once committed to Florida, but all decommitted over the last few months.
James was the first player to decommit on October 20 and Humphrey followed suit on October 25.
Smith reopened his recruitment on November 21 after Dan Mullen was fired but did not officially decommit until earlier this week.
All three are among the top players in the country. The On3 Consensus – a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies – has James as the No. 61 overall prospect in the country, Humphrey as the No. 91 prospect and Smith as the No. 283 recruit.
James is choosing between Alabama and Georgia and will announce his decision Wednesday.
He told On3’s Chad Simmons that his official visit this weekend to Athens, Georgia, was going to play a crucial role in his decision.
“I have visited Alabama around eight times and I know everything about them,” James said. “I have only visited Georgia once, so I need to get back to Georgia this weekend.
Smith is also on an official visit to the Bulldogs.
