Elias King decommitted because Mark Fox was fired. He offered a hint at how UGA can get him back | Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

Georgia’s 2019 recruiting class, which once ranked No. 1 nationally, is now non-existent.

Lincoln Academy Prep forward Elias King announced his decision to de-commit from Georgia after holding a pledge for nearly three months. The four-star wing player followed the actions of Ashton Hagans, the nation’s top-ranked point guard out of Newton.

Each of the player’s decisions to withdraw pledges come as a result of Georgia’s decision to fire Mark Fox after nine years with the program. He led the Bulldogs for nine seasons.

“I de-committed because my coach was fired,” King said to The Telegraph via text message on Wednesday.
