I’m curious on any more names out of HS who could commit to UGA. I have a few who we might be targeting but not sure because I don’t follow b-ball recruiting.
@SouthGA_Dawg
Precious Achuiwa SF 5*
Niven Glover SG 3* (Multi year player)
Trae Broadnax PG 3* (Played with top level guys his HS career, playing the wait and see right now, from Savannah)
Josh Pierre Louis PG 3* (My fave as a PG need)
I think Precious is not likely now that we have 3 SFs committed
I wonder if they have given a look at Lance Terry point guard from Dalton. His high school team has beaten Edwards team. Do not know much about him but he is rated higher than Broadnax or Louis.
I hate to qwell enthusiasm, but this thread is like reading a USCjr board regarding their upcoming football season. Final Four talk? When was the last time UGA won a single NCAA tournament game?
If they can make it to the tournament I'd be happy. Having a player with Edwards talent level and not making the tournament would not be a good look. There was a big criticism at Tech for not making it with Bosh.
And LSU with Simmons
@Bankwalker I believe it was 1996. Tubby Smith's first season. Led by Katu Davis, Shandon Anderson, and Carlos Strong, Georgia knocked off Clemson and #1 seed Purdue before falling to Syracuse 83-81 in the Sweet 16. (Syracuse went on to the finals where they lost to Kentucky.)
Some of us are excited about the basketball program because it's the start of a new era under Coach Crean, and because we have a commitment from Anthony Edwards, who is not only better than anyone on that '96 team, he might turn out to be the best player ever to set foot on campus. And unlike in football, one guy can make a huge impact on a basketball team. As a true freshman I expect he's worth +10 wins and an invite to the dance. Hopefully that will establish a foundation that we can build a consistent winning program on.
And Clayton won’t be forced to run point... 🤯
He will have to be special to be better than Dominique Wilkins
I'd be happy with a sweet 16 run next year. I think that's an achievable goal with the talent coming in
I'd be happy just to make the tourney. I saw that a PG from WVU is transferring and he's from GA so hopefully we can scoop up another PG cause we need one
Yes
Alabama is negotiating a buyout of Avery Johnson. Does this open the door for anyone of interest to Crean?
I'm exited! I love all UGA sports. I was fortunate enough to play college basketball (NAIA) and have dreamed of being good enough to play at UGA. I'm a homer.
Anybody watch the McDonald's All-American game tonight? I taped it so I can see Ant-Man.
We Need the point guad from bama i think his name is Kira something, would be a huge get.
Edwards had some nice moments in the game. Had a finish that was an NBA level move and almost had a steal where he created a fastbreak by himself, but him poking at the ball did cause the ballhandler to lose the ball and he dunked on that fastbreak. That wasn't it, but those were the two that stuck out to me when I had my eyes on the game (there was points where I didn't because of reasons). He was playing defense to the point where it got commentary for it being an all star game as well.
Watching it now. Couldn't wait until tomorrow.
