I was young, but I sure as hell remember a guy named Ezra on that team I think. One of those names you never forget

Ezra, Jarvis, Jonas, Rashad, Steve, Chris, and that a-hole cole was a great team.

Jonas and D Wilkens were the 6/7th man on that team. Both would easily start for these Fox teams.

That's what teh textbook might say but we're talking about human beings offered 6 figures so logic goes out the window sometimes.
no that's actually the point. 2nd round picks dont get guaranteed contracts so there is no "being offered 6 figures" unless you are a first round pick. obviously, you can still make the team as a 2nd rounder and get signed, but it's way different than being a first rounder and there is some serious risk involved.
i feel pretty strongly that yante will be back next year.

Yante has a tough decision because I think when we get to the end of the year we will be in the NCAA tournament and next year, we are losing our best scorer and we don't have a visible dominant personality on campus righy now like JJ. By dominant, I mean someone that when the game is on the line truly wants the ball in their hands.
If he comes back I think it shows that he believes that this team is taking strides forward.
I am not knocking Travis Leslie or Trey Thompkins but Yante seems to have better character and a better head on his shoulders and perhaps graduating is more important to him than it was to them. I mean he did come to UGA because he and his mother felt that was where God wanted them to be.

On Draft Express, Yante is ranked #186 overall. Last update was Dec 9.
On NBAdraft.net, he isnt in their top 100. Last update was Dec 8.
I couldnt find any other site that went past 50-60, and he wasnt on any of those boards either.

Dawgs should hire Norman Dale.

I'm sure they would...they were upper class men.
To the post about Yante being 186....that's good for us but I don't believe that to be true for a minute. Hopefully they keep under rating him and he returns next year and averages over 20 per game.
Tropical - this is the first post I've seen you in but I can't help but think "Let's get tropical!"

Ezra Williams. Brought the state championship home to Marietta, Ga. Marietta had a great run when I was in high school (Chris Ellis, Keyon Boyd, Patrick Ewing Jr, Winston Tubbs, Jazz Ross all played when I was in HS and all signed D-1 scholarships), but the team that Ezra led was fricking insane. Best HS basketball player I've ever seen live.

Fox is as good as we're going to do, it's not like Georgia is a great place to coach with a ton of resources and money pumped into the program. Being competitive is enough for us.

Yante is staying his senior year unless we either make the Sweet 16 and he goes off, or he gets in some sort of trouble. He's just a couple inches too short to be a first round pick.

Harrick and tubby proved we can do better on the court.
Posted on 1/17/17 at 5:47 pm to djsdawg
Yeah, all we have to do is hire a guy that cheats or a guy that is just looking for a stepping stone to a tier one basketball school. 
Posted on 1/17/17 at 5:59 pm to djsdawg
Right...Harrick won 22 games in his third year and 19 in his final season. That's much better than consistent 20 and 21 seasons. You act like Harrick had us in the top 10 nationally but in actuality we were just outside of the top 25. Remeber, we ranked for one week and got beat by Alabama in a tight game at home and lost that ranking. Not to mention folding in the second round of the NCAA's against Southern Illinois.
Tubby had a a 21 win season followed by a 24 win season then the Harrick years. I just don't understand what standard was created that's so far beyond Fox. Harrick inherited a team that had 44 wins the previous two years only to win 20 games or more in one of his four seasons.
Fox on the other hand inherited a Gigantuan mess of a basketball program post Dennis Felton.

Yes, it was better. The sec fox wins in is awful. Much tougher sec + tough ooc back in those days, which led to high rpi. I act like harrick has us with 3 straight dance invites including back to back* 3 seeds (which = top 12 teams in the nation). We were also able to actually beat the better teams in the sec, which fox has never been able to do.
And thanks for your 44 win comment. Hilarious. I thought you may have a deeper understanding than I do with uga bball, but now we know why you never responded to my answer to your question about how far back I go with uga bball:
You think harrick took over for tubby? Jesus. Go learn about Ron jirsa and then come back to the discussion.
Posted on 1/17/17 at 7:46 pm to djsdawg
Ron Jirsa hardly counts in this conversation because he was essentially an interim coach. Sure, he didn't help the program but it's not near the impact that's Dennis Felton played.
Your right though, if Ron Jirsa counts Harrick inherited a team that won 65 games in three seasons and experienced the greatest stretch of winning in school history.
We may have been a 3 seed but that doesn't add up to top 12 in the country. However, I do agree that the SEC was better then...this includes Georgia.

Just what do you think seeding is? Seeding aligns with the merits of a team. There weren't 12 better resumes in either season. We played tough schedules and we beat good teams.
If you were around back then, you would understand just how bad the situation was when harrick took over. It was a complete nose dive by jirsa by the end. The roster left behind was a mess. Despite that, harrick quickly rebuilt and had 3 better teams in a row according to seeding than any team fox has had so far, just as tubby had 2 in a row. That's what good coaches can do.

I'm not gonna lie I didn't follow the team back then. I would highly doubt the team was as bad then as it was when Felton was fired.
Posted on 1/17/17 at 9:53 pm to DoubleDawg22
Fox is a rich mans Felton. Since felton is the only other uga coach you know, your homer attitude about fox makes all the sense in the world.
Posted on 1/18/17 at 3:17 pm to djsdawg
Well, we all know how Harrick operated and that wasn't good for us in the long run and Tubby coached for only two years. It would've been nice to keep him around for sure.
