Well, now that the Dawgs aren't going to the NCAA's (with Vanderbilt beating Florida and Alabama looking stronger, there just isn't much room for am at-large bid for UGA), I'm curious once again about recruiting.
UGA has an open scholarship, and perhaps two if Yante Maten opts for signing with an agent.
Here are my top five unsigned hoopsters for the class of 2017:
1. Isaiah Miller
He's the high-flying combo guard from Newton County. I know we have watched him, but we have yet to offer, and Miller doesn't have any other high major offers. Leads me to believe that something's not quite right, and we ultimately will not offer.
2. M.J. Walker
For some reason we have never been in the running for McDonald's All-American Walker. I guess we have given up, because I don't get the sense that we are actively recruiting him.
3. Ahmad Rand
Athletic forward from Lincoln County. Would be a decent pick-up if Yante goes pro.
Derrick Walker was our previous insurance policy, but he committed to Tennessee.
4. Avery Wilson
Wilson should be at or near the top of our list. We need a guy who can handle the rock, and Wilson is a strongly built point guard who can also score. Reminds me a bit of J.J. Frazier, in the sense that he is an overlooked guy who has real potential
5. Isaiah Banks
Tough defender and uber athlete from the Metro Atlanta area has become well-known through the video of him throwing down a tomahawk dunk and breaking the backboard. From all I have seen, Banks doesn't have any high major offers either.
Bottom Line: I'd be satisfied with Wilson if Miller is unavailable. I believe that a point guard is more of a need than another big man.
Any other potential recruits out there?
