Good job on convincing the kid in Athens,GA to stay at home.

Clearly you don't understand UGA basketball recruiting

This is not only an eye opener but potentially program changing type of thing. UCONN is a title town and convincing someone to stay home in UGA a non basketball school is big.....Very very big. Could this be a turn in the battle for Jaylen Brown and others currently considering UGA. If so....UGA basketball may .....just win some ball games.

This is awesome

He was pretty bad in EYBL this summer. Averaged 8.4 points (30.2 FG%, 28.9 3P%), 2.2 assists, and 2.4 turnovers on a Georgia Stars team that only won one game.

UConn just had Jalen Adams (a Top 40 PG) commit several weeks ago.

You do the math.

He was working his way back from a knee injury and struggled. Nothing to worry about for UGA. was defintely still wanted at UCONN. I know the kid personally and he has a tremendous work ethic. Will be a good addition. Also will help recruit other in state kids which could be potentially big.

Why did Florida offer him then?

Doesn't matter, because I don't really care about the reasons. UGA's hoops program will take all the players like him we can get.

Non commitable offer is the obvious answer.

Good pick up for UGA

Does anyone else remember when opposing fans weren't complete dicks on here?

We offered him about a year ago when everyone in the country, including blue bloods, was after him.

You think his Kansas offer is still valid, too?

What wasn't factual about what I said?

The part about him not doing well in EYBL or the part about UConn taking another PG's commitment several weeks ago?

And that's fine, but I'm not going to let you guys act like you've stolen one away from UConn without adding some perspective.

UGA recruiting has definitely been improving lately, though. How are you guys feeling on Beasley and Mack now?

Never said you weren't being factual but you're trying to crap on our thread. That's your right but still a Dick move.

For some programs, quality talent is a huge plus whenever you can get it. USC is now in that position of trying to crawl so we can eventually get to running at full speed. It's a good pick-up - congrats UGA...

I think you missed my point. I don't give a shite whether it was valid or not. He's a talent upgrade for UGA. That is what I care about.

It's also a perception boost that UGA desperately needs.
