Committed to UGA. HUGE pick-up. That's 2 big-time recruits in the last two weeks for Mike White, who is quickly picking up steam on the recruiting trail!
He will also wear #21 just like his pops!
Go DAWGS!

I sure hope the fan base doesn't start out comparing him to his pops. That would be unfair.
Exactly. Imagine that kind of pressure.
Very cool. I will definitely tune in to see if he can ball like his daddy
There is only one 'Nique, but he is very good in his own right. Looking forward to the rise of UGA basketball!
Quick (hopefully) story about D. Wilkins at UGA.
I was a senior when Dominique was just starting at UGA....of course, the hype was huge even then (not like it would have been today, of course, but still huge!)
The first one or two games UGA played that season were away ..... finally, he was going to play his first home game at Stegeman. against Troy, I think. The coliseum was packed ....everybody wanted to see this kid that they had heard so much.
Sometime in the early minutes of the game (not much yet had happened), a UGA player hoisted a jump shot and it caromed straight up off the basket....
All of a sudden, an arm went up, fully extended above the rim, gathered in the ball one-handed and slammed it home !! And Dominique went running up the court, fist and arm pumping!!
Cannot begin to describe the roar from the Dawg faithful in attendance....None of us long-suffering UGA basketball fans had ever seen such athletic ability or fist-pumping energy before!
My God, a Freshman.... we all thought! Just incredible!
I don't even like basketball but the Human Highlight Film was definitely a must watch back in the day.
I suspect the current generation that argues Kobe vs LeBron as the goat have any idea Dominique's career at UGA 40+ years ago.
