Who do you think deserves that title? I am partial to Jonah Williams, but I want to hear the rest of the posters on tMEGATHREAD's opinions.
When he commits, Nigel Knott.

Jake Fromm got a CB to OM from Demetric Warren.
I wonder, again, if our staff feels confident on Martell which has kept Fromm from committing and that is why these CBs for Ole Miss are starting to come in.
I'd take Martell over Fromm if given the choice.

Alabama freshman quarterback Blake Barnett met with team nutritionist Amy Bragg and strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran earlier this month.
Frustrated by a lack of progress in gaining weight, Barnett hoped to construct a diet that would help in his quest to get bigger in advance of preseason practice and the season, his father, Lance, told AL.com.
The diet plan put together by Bragg and Cochran has helped Barnett put on around five pounds in two weeks, adding to the total since the California native arrived to Tuscaloosa as one of eight Tide early enrollees in January.
Ranked by ESPN as a five-star recruit and top pocket passer in this year's recruiting class, the 6-foot-5 Barnett is up to 208 pounds after weighing 190 in January and 200 pounds when spring practice ended in April.
"He was just getting frustrated because he was doing everything right physically, weights, speed, training, etc. The body weight just wasn't compiling as fast as he wanted to. Since he had his meeting, it's been a huge improvement," Lance Barnett said, also noting, "He did tell me he is quicker and faster than ever."
One of five players competing for Alabama's starting quarterback job, Barnett's target weight for this season is around 212-215 pounds, Lance said.
In addition to on-campus work, Barnett has been training with renowned quarterback coach George Whitfield, who has tutored quarterbacks such as Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Jameis Winston and Johnny Manziel.
Barnett threw a late 29-yard touchdown to wide receiver ArDarius Stewart during the Tide's spring game in April.
Barnett threw for 3,404 yards and 23 touchdowns while rushing for 479 yards and seven scores as a senior at Santiago High School in California last season.
"Blake Barnett is a freshman who has great promise," Alabama coach Nick Saban said recently at SEC Media Days. "He can run, is athletic, has a good arm. But it's just a matter of how quickly is he going to mature to be able to take the responsibility to be able to do it on a consistent basis."
While senior Jake Coker and redshirt freshman David Cornwell will likely be the top two quarterbacks on the depth chart when preseason practice begins in early August, Saban said at SEC Media Days that the quarterback competition remains unsettled.
"All of them," Saban said, "have improved."

After thorough study using specific scoring criteria, Bleacher Report National Recruiting Analysts Damon Sayles, Sanjay Kirpalani and Tyler Donohue have graded the top 200 players in the 247Sports composite rankings and provided in-depth analysis on each young athlete. Bleacher Report will run a position-by-position breakdown series of the best college football recruits in the class of 2016. Here we present the Top Offensive Tackles.
Given how passing concepts have expanded in recent years, the importance of having athletic and strong offensive tackles has grown.
Since defensive coordinators are always trying to find new ways to bring pressure on quarterbacks, offensive tackles must be agile enough to fend off sleek edge-rushers and powerful enough to push back beefier defensive ends.
The 2016 class is deep with high-quality tackle prospects, with 5-star Texas standout Greg Little leading the way.
The newest edition of Bleacher Report's CFB Recruiting 200 series will break down the best offensive tackles in the 2016 cycle and grade them on important traits such as hands, power, lateral quickness, pass protection and run blocking.
How do the nation's top offensive tackle prospects measure up to one another?
