@Bigcalidawg are you talking about Walton & Camara (who have already committed) or Achiuwa & Quinones (who Edwards said he'd be recruiting- but don't currently have UGA listed), or are there other top 100 guys that we have a good shot at?
Where does this class rank now ? 12th or better ?
I think ANT moved us to 12. If we land our other targets we can be top 5 (is my guess).
UGA made Quinones top 7
Thanks @brentwilson- I didn't catch that.
i also saw he liked the Edwards commitment. i’m wondering if maybe we would recruit him to be a PG.
HUGE
Huge get!!! Dude is a beast!! Only thing im worried about is , 1 year and NBA. Hope he stays longer though!
I only say that because of past commits who have de committed.
He’s a one and done. Nothing to worry about. He’ll come in and change the tone for Georgia basketball and start a trend.
Hopefully in his one year he’ll teach the others how to make smart, clean passes.
Now, a little bit of back to reality, this is a big pick up but for me there are still two big questions that really could separate next season from being pretty good to it being like cases like Ben Simmons/Fultz. Those two questions are:
If both are answered well, then I can see a top 25 team.
what about adding 2019 4 star guard Lester Quinones?
**looks up high school stats**
If he comes then maybe.
It is not just about Ant Man- he is well connected in the ATL AAU circuit and will bring others with him that are not yet committed are not necessarily one and done candidates.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this. I'm being serious. Anthony Edwards could be the guy who saves basketball in the state of Georgia, not only for the DAWGS, but for the HAWKS too. He could be the next Dominique Wilkins. 6'5, 215 lbs from Atlanta, GA. #2 overall prospect in the 2019 class, and he's the highest rated ever recruit in UGA basketball history. Tom Crean is in year 1, and year 1 is ALWAYS rough for coaches, even the majority of dynasty coaches had their worst seasons in year 1. Mark Fox put UGA into a hellhole. Yante Maten was the SEC player of the year and it's rare for an SEC player of the year to miss the tournament, that hadn't happened in years before UGA last season, because of how awful UGA's talent is. Anthony Edwards could change our program forever in year 2 for Tom Crean. Now if Anthony Edwards can help us get some more quality recruits around him coming into 2019-2020, because he can't do it all alone. UGA basketball has the longest NCAA tournament win drought out of all 14 SEC schools, haven't had a real win since our 1996 sweet sixteen run.
One and done type of player
Yep and we will take it
We won't be ready to contend for an SEC title next season, regardless of who we sign.
I'm thrilled we landed Edwards, assuming he signs, but his legacy will be as a draw for other elite recruits, unless he stays more than one season that is.
Just get me in the tournament.
