Georgia’s persistence paid off as it landed a commitment from in-state guard Tye Fagan Monday.
Fagan, a three-star product of Upson-Lee, was once recruited heavily by former Georgia head coach Mark Fox and assistant Jonas Hayes. Fagan ended up committing to Middle Tennessee State under its former head coach Kermit Davis and signed his national letter-of-intent.
Davis, however, took the head coaching job at Mississippi, so Fagan opted out of his agreement to play for the Blue Raiders and was pursued by a number of programs. Meanwhile, Fox had been replaced by Tom Crean at nearly the same time and the newly-assembled Bulldogs’ staff began its pursuit.
