re: 5* SF Jaylen Brown to Cal

You should be mad that Mark Fox let such in insane group of players from Georgia all leave. Jaylen Brown, Malik Beasley, Daniel Giddens, and Noah Dickerson are all Georgia natives and not a single one seriously considered UGA. There's something seriously wrong with that. Fox is an incredible defensive coach and is an expert at getting the most out of his players, but letting that much talent leave is inexcusable.

Not much of this is true. Jaylen Brown considered UGA and visited campus multiple times, no shame in losing him.

Dickerson transferred to a school in Florida and never had much interest in going to school in the state. We finished 2nd or 3rd for Giddens depending on who you talk to (not that anything but 1st matters) and Beasley was deciding between UGA and FSU. He visited Athens several times and was very serious in UGA, Fox and staff worked hard recruiting him.

Thankfully Georgia has a good, balanced recruiting class, but those are all very talented recruits.
