Looks like he got almost no playing time at Virginia.
Camara was the only transfer that will sting other than that we have upgraded in size and with the Abdul-Rahim pick-up today we have a better score and better team than we ended with this season. Wheeler has more size and another score to distribute the ball to and take some pressure off. Abdul-Rahim didn't play much because of injury, but he is a significant upgrade from Camara if he stays healthy.
And yet another big body added today. 6'6 Noah Baumman from Southern Cal. At least Crean seems to be adding quality to replace our losses.
Fire him
And who at the moment is on the radar, better, and willing to come here? With all the "Fire Crean" talk, I'm just curious as to who everyone thinks is the savior of UGA basketball?
Sarcasm
4 big pick-ups for UGA so far -- some 6-7 wings who have hit over 40 percent from 3 at the D-1 level and Abdur-Rahim was NJ Player of the Year and Top 40 two seasons ago. The 6-10 kid should be ok. Need another big man, I'd say.
It’s possible the transfers away from our program were all looking at a lot of reduced playing time with these new transfers coming in to us. Who knows? The Camara one is the one that does hurt, because he is a solid starter on any SEC team. However, the transfers in this week all bode well for 2021-22.
So for now, we can put away the pitch forks and torches and let Crean coach this new influx of talent? Was it Waylon and/or Willie who sang "Leave them boys alone and let 'em sing their songs"? Sounds good to me. Who knows? May turn out like it did with Tray Scott when many wanted to run him out of town. Now? Not so much.
Nope gotta fire him
Wheeler in the portal
Close to firable
Wheeler declared for the NBA draft...so how can he be in the portal?
Not hiring an agent so he is reserving his right to return to school.
This month has been horrible for the hoop Dawgs. Here is a quote from Wheeler in the ESPN article on his announcement:
"To be honest, watching the NCAA tournament was tough -- it was the first time I was jealous of anyone playing basketball. Being isolated due to COVID and not having the experience of playing in the tournament at the end of the year is something I do not want to go through again."
