Right now the idea of Hayes as a HC in Athens doesn't really scare me. He can recruit, but so far during his career the teams he has been a coach on have been pretty mediocre.
A P5 program hiring an asst with no HC experience is fairly dicey.
UGA won't fire Crean right now, not enough alums...
That's probably not a bad thing for them. Having seen him at GT, he is really strong on the recruiting trail for about 12-18 months and then it just seems to dry up. He's not known to bring much outside of recruiting. i will say when he was at GT my understanding was they were not unhappy to see...
A few updates.
Duke has added 2021 PG Jaylen Blakes (247Sports #102, Rivals #120)
Clemson has added 2022 big man Ben Middlebrooks who will reclassify to 2021 and play for Clemson this fall.

if just one of the three return (Devoe most likely)...

I think Pastner has grown alot as a coach. Frankly he probably wasn't ready at 31 to lead a program like Memphis. I think he has continued to learn and grow and hopefully that will continue.
