Suddenly, in the midst of a forgettable season in Tom Crean’s first year, there is genuine hope for future success for Georgia Basketball in two ways: the scoreboard and recruting. Earlier this morning, Anthony Edwards - the nations #1 uncommited prospect - decided to make Athens his next stop as he undoubtedly rockets towards a future NBA career earlier and the college basketball world is abuzz (or, at least, it should be). Kentucky didn’t get him. We did.
Edwards is the highest rated Georgia recruit in the modern ranking era, and is listed as the #1 overall prospect by 247Sports, surpassing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope who was rated at #12 upon his commitment to Mark Fox back in 2011.
