Tom Crean has his guy. And maybe, the one who could jumpstart Georgia basketball’s turnaround.
Five-star prospect and second-ranked recruit (per 247Sports) Anthony Edwards did ultimately pick Georgia Monday morning. Edwards’ commitment brought a close to a wild weekend in which he canceled his final official visit (to Florida State) and the Bulldogs suffered another double-digit conference loss at home.
Edwards, from Holy Spirit Preparatory School in Atlanta, received 16 offers throughout his recruitment. Georgia, FSU and Kentucky emerged as Edwards’ final three, and he was scheduled to visit Tallahassee for the Seminoles’ bout with Louisville Saturday.
