If we had just one Field General. Heck - a Field Lieutenant - and we'd have a shot to win some games. Overall, our team has some talent, length and athleticism. They don't play smart but, again, that could be because we don't have anyone that can run an offense.

If we could just not turn the ball over at the most inconvenient times it would be great.

Down 4 w 15 secs left and we take 10 seconds to get a shot off.


Not great guys.

When the guy leading your fast break at the end of the game is named 'Turtle' don't be surprised when he lives up to the name.

That’s fantastic. But we show signs which is nice. Just looking forward to next year. Hope we can find a PG somewhere along the way.

Everytime I tuned in tonight our team missed a shot under the basket. Shots in the paint are a huge weakness on this team

Turtle Jackson is a god awful basketball player. I’ll be soooooo happy when he, bunga bunga, harris, and edwards all graduate. Good riddance... gonna erase them all from the database.

But seriously. There isn't just one pinpoint issue. It's poor effort on both ends from some guys, it's incomprehensibly bad possessions as though they don't give a frick about keeping the ball sometimes. Long stretches where it seems like someone has saran wrapped our goal and we can't buy a shot...

Not all of those will be "fixed" with a real PG, but I'm pretty convinced that most of them get better.

So next years roster will be: Assuming all qualify and sign respectively...

Hightower 6-5 G
Harris 6-4 G
Crump 6-1 G
Fagen 6-3 G
Sargiunas 6-5 G
Edwards 6-4 G

Toppin 6-6 F
Hammonds 6-8 F
Claxton 6-11 F
Ngumezi 6-9 F
Walton 6-6 F
Camara 6-6 F

Some pretty good length once again with some additional fire power but still lack a true PG. I’m hoping Crean can get a JUCO PG or a reliable PG for next year. That team on paper looks to be slightly better obviously, with the addition of Edwards, and the progressions of Hammonds and Claxton... but not out of this world great. We shall see.

I would guess we'd be significantly better, but that doesn't mean we're a tourney team. Even going .500 in the SEC is way better than where we're at now.

Y’all have played us tough both games. I think Crean can turn y’all around

We are about to gain the commitment of 5-Star 6’9 SF Precious Achiuwa and a 4-Star 6’5 Guard Lester Quinones who is ranked as the #64 player In the country.

I have no inside knowledge and could end up being totally wrong but when you read between the tea leaves this is very close to happening.

Anthony Edwards stated he wants Lester and Precious to join him in Athens. Within the last month, UGA has gone from not even being on the radarfor Lester Quinones to getting an official visit and making the final cut. Lester also stated that he and Precious talk about playing together in college a lot, esp lately.

When the Number 1 player in the country calls you out, you listen. when its with the opportunity to be THE faces of a program and be coached by a guy that can get you in the League.

So we have four scholarships coming available and Crean recently spoke of not renewing some scholarships. If we got Lester and Precious, we would have 5 incoming freshman and someone would get cut. I wonder who it would be. Maybe Sargiunas or Toppin.

So we’d be adding:

#2. Anthony Edwards 6’5 CG, most likely run the show from point
#13. Precious Achiuwa 6’9 SF/Stretch 4 starter
#64. Lester Quinones 6’5 CG Possibly a starter mostly likely first off the bench.
#68. Jaykwon Walton 6’7 SF Depth
#95 Toumani Camara 6’7 SF Depth

It’s not impossible for Jaykwon Walton to end up starting and I believe Toumani is underrated. This would be an incredible haul and we’d be competing for the league.

Nothing is out there with Precious Achiuwa and UGA as of now but until 3 weeks ago the same was said for Lester Quinones.

Will be interesting to see how things workout. None the less next season could be really fun esp if this team can improve and get better going into the offseason.

Was about to say that as well

Haven’t heard anything of the sort DD is claiming but not saying it’s not true or won’t happen either. The only other thing I heard, was from an insider at Dawgnation claiming Crean was gonna try and go after a JUCO PG or grad transfer PG, but obviously that can’t happen until seasons end.

That would be an impressive haul. Similar to LSU in Wade’s 2nd season.

Trust me, it feels good being at the top of the standings.

Good luck moving forward

We said the same thing about Edwards and we landed him. Edwards will get Quinones and then Achiuwa after that.

Type in Lester Quinones on Twitter and look at his final 7. Then go through and look at his likes. He did an interview within the last several days and stated that he and Precious have talked about a lot about playing together. In another tweet from the same interviewer he says he is likely to visit Georgia and another school (maybe Memphis.)

Add all of this up plus the fact that Edwards is going after them both and tell me something unusual isn’t going on.

Again, idk with any certainty that this will happen just reading between the lines.
