Shoot we started competing in year 1. Our issue was last year was primarily an overwhelming lack of talent compared to our peers. I think with an upgraded roster this season finishing in the top half of the league is within sight. That would probably put us at roughly around 19ish wins and 10ish in the league. That's essentially a bubble team.


That's major success if he does that. It's easier said than done. The college basketball landscape is so vastly different than say the 90's or 00's. The mid majors and smaller schools are able to compete with the power 5 conferences. It's kind of the opposite of what has happened in football.

Big commit today.

Russell Tchewa

7-foot, 280 LB center from USF

11 PPG | 9 RPG while shooting 53%

Shoutout Terry Robert’s for apparently telling him to come here.

One spot left. Let’s get a guard who can make shots.

Absolutley huge pickup, no pun intended. We're still in it for some big time guards which woudl be awesome, but it feelsl like we have rarely ever had a physically imposing dominant true center in all my years watching uga basketball. It's going to be awesome to see this guy on the floor along with our improved wings and everyone else we've got.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think we’ve sniffed many top 20 recruiting classes in basketball in the last 20 years

Could be wrong but seems like a lot of the teams doing well in tourney get guys that stick around versus one and done types.

It is ridiculous we aren’t a top 40 program.

That’s what I said earlier We’re quietly putting together one of the best (maybe the best) quality class in school history. No one is talking about it either lol

Rumor has it Wheeler might come back… defensive liability but a solid PG.

He’s decent and now has more experience. IDK… maybe White can coach him better. Crean sure AF couldn’t.

wheeler would be a perfectly fine addition but I thought he was heading elsewhere? I know he briefly flirted with a return but I thought that ship had already sailed. HE can't shoot but he's one of the best assisters in the history fo the SEC so I don't knwo if we're in a position to turn that away if he was interested.

Either way, if eh doesn't come we look to be fine at PG. prior to yesterday it looked like really shoring up the 2 was the biggest concern and Cain helps with that. If we can get Thomasson we'll be, dare I say it... a potential tourney team

Wheeler is probably going to Washington. He visited here a couple weeks ago but there’s been no smoke since then.

We are the favorites to land Noah Thomason. That’s our starting PG IMO

If I had to bet on our rotation come November, it will be something like this:

PG- Thomason
SG- Cain/Hill
SF- Melendez
PF- Deloach
C- Tchewa

6. Hill/Cain
7. Jabri
8. Holt
9. Anselem
10. Dylan James
11. Moncrieffe
12. Mari Jordan
13. Silas Demary
