Official, Crean Fired,

Time to find us a round ball Kirby !

Based on our football team, raising the overall caliber of athlete trumps everything. Not just one superstar but a team of them.

If the ex nba guys can get them here than go for it.

Dude's never coached a day in his life. At any level.

Hard pass.

A year later after a 7-11 SEC season, came a mass exodus of nine players through the transfer portal including top players Sahvir Wheeler, K.D. Johnson and Toumani Camara. If that corps remained, the Bulldogs could have contended for a postseason bid. Instead Wheeler is at Kentucky and Johnson at Auburn and are key pieces to teams that could make a deep run in the NCAA tournament.

Well, this is something. If Brooks gets Drew in here I'll kiss his fricking feet:

Sources with knowledge of the situation have told DawgSports that representatives working on behalf of UGA have had contact with Baylor head basketball coach Scott Drew to gauge his interest in taking the same position at Georgia.
Sources confirmed that Drew didn’t slam the door on the possibility of coming to Athens, and he is open to further conversations about the job. It is expected that parties connected to UGA’s search will have subsequent contact with Drew in the coming days to further gauge Drew’s interest and find out what it would take for Georgia to hire him.

Drew has spent the last 19 years rebuilding the Baylor program in the aftermath of one of the worst scandals in NCAA history. His commitment paid off with a national title last season and his current team is currently ranked 3rd in the nation.

So why would Drew consider leaving Baylor after all this time? It is believed that Drew may lack faith in the future of the Big 12 Conference, and may not want to continue coaching in the league with Oklahoma and Texas leaving and BYU, Cincinnati, UCF and Houston entering. Building Georgia’s program within a SEC that has become an increasingly prestigious basketball league in recent years could be the type of challenge that Drew would be invigorated by.

Sources close to the search have maintained for weeks that UGA’s search would prioritize, “a smart, viable program builder who can recruit in-state and work the transfer portal,” over a headliner. If the Bulldogs were able to land Drew it would check both of those boxes.

Drew is widely considered one of the best coaches in college basketball, and he has also pulled key players out of Georgia for years. Davion Mitchell, an 2021 All-American and last year’s National Defensive Player of the Year is a native of Hinesville, GA. Mitchell transferred to Baylor after a year at Auburn. Duluth native Adam Flagler has been a key player for the Bears over the last couple of seasons after transferring from Presbyterian following his freshman year.

With Louisville, Maryland, and many other jobs open across college basketball, Georgia would have to fend off competition from many suitors to land Drew. The long list of suitors for his services may also be used in the negotiation of a new contract with Baylor. Since Baylor is a private school the details of Drew’s current contract are unknown. It is believed he makes somewhere in the range of $2.5-$3.5 million. The terms of Drew’s buyout have not been shared.

I want to believe...the conference thing makes sense. But also weary of agents being agents. Would be the most astonishing hire in UGA athletics history I think.
