Charleston loses, while Furman upsets UVA. So, the dream matchup between our former potential hires is no more. I am happy with the CDS hire, but whomever hires Richey will have a great coach on their hands.

Could still end up being Clemson after Brownell led them to a 1st round NIT loss against Morehead State.

Bradley has queued up this song several times in the past.

It's the same thing we all discuss here. GT needs to bring in better players, and hopefully tap into the Atlanta hoops scene. It's no secret anymore, if you want elite players now, you're going to "rent" them until they move on. Stoudamire was pretty open about the "salary cap" of NIL. We can interpret that any way we want to, but the promising thing is GT is finally accepting NIL is a real thing we can use to our advantage, and Batt and Cabrera both have emphasized its importance.

Now our head coach has the tools and resources to go out and recruit a higher caliber player (either through HS or the portal), but at the end of the day it's still up to Stoudamire to get those elite players to sign with GT. We'll find out over the next couple of months whether Stoudamire can sell kids on his vision for GT basketball.

So who is his first commit?
HS or transfer?

Gonna be a transfer. Signings for his first class are still a while away but I’d expect some transfer commitments (to us and others) to start rolling in within the next few weeks.

Nobody from our squad had entered the portal yet which is a positive sign they are giving CDS a shot.

First recruits will be Kelly, Coleman, Deivon, Kyle and Jalon.

That block, grab, drive, and dunk against Houston is one of the most impressive plays I have seen in a long time. Instead of just swatting the ball away, he takes it down with him.

Isn't that the new normal for any coach these days?

And it's still true...

Who decided a long time ago that half the AJC sports section should be opinion pieces?

You were expecting to read news in a newspaper? Silly boy.

Pretty sure Deivon and Kyle would burn their last year of eligibility sitting out the year. The other three, I agree.

Deivon wouldn't. He'd have 1 year left.

For Kyle, would depend on whether he graduates, but he's also the most likely player to come back out of everyone.

Agreed. Plus, Kyle is Damon’s god son. No way he leaves.

How much NBA money did Drew Timme turn down to play another year at Gonzaga? This is professional basketball folks. I am not even sure it's the minor leagues.
