2024 Georgia Tech target John Bol commits to Ole Miss

Bol had Georgia Tech as a finalist before picking the Rebels

One of the top centers in the country is now off the board. 

2024 Center John Bol announced tonight that he would be committing to Ole Miss. 

This comes as a bit of a surprise considering that Bol had Georgia Tech, USC, Ohio State, and UTSA in his top four schools that he named recently, but is a big win for Ole Miss and head coach Chris Beard. 

Earlier this month, On3 Senior National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton logged a prediction for the Yellow Jackets to land Bol, a high four-star player in the 2024 class who plays at The Rock School in Gainesville, Florida. Bol is a former Florida Gators commit, but backed off of his pledge on June 30th.

Bol is the No. 28 player in the country according to 247Sports and the No. 3 center in the country. He has offers from Michigan, Missouri, Clemson, Butler, UConn, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas State, Nebraska, Texas, and Wake Forest. He would bring enormous size (7'2 190 LBS) and is a skilled player with athleticism.

Here is the scouting report on Bol courtesy of On3's Jamie Shaw:

"John Bol is a unique athletic specimen. At over 7-feet tall, his agility and his ability to move are not like other players his size. He has defensive upside as a weak side rim protector and someone who can move his feet when switching along the perimeter. Bol will need to add strength; he is currently very thin. He gets moved off his spots on both ends of the floor easily. The added strength could help him become a better post defender and finish better in the paint. Offensively, Bol is at his best with put backs and in lob situations. His offensive game is pretty limited right now; he has touch but needs to develop his range and some low post moves. However, his height allows him to be a vertical lob threat, and he has good hands and dexterity in the air. Bol has an intriguing upside. His flashes are starting to produce now with more strength and continued minutes and reps there is a lot of ceiling to fill"

Georgia Tech does not have a commitment in the 2024 class yet.
