The Kentucky basketball team will be back in action very soon – they’ll take on Georgia this Tuesday in Athens. And while most of the team just needs to focus on securing an SEC road win, one player has a little more to consider.
Ashton Hagans, a native of Covington, Georgia, grew up under an hour away from the home of the Bulldogs. On December 21, 2017, Hagans verbally committed to the University of Georgia, who was, at the time, still under the leadership of head coach Mark Fox. After his initial announcement, Hagans told reporters his cousin, Trey Thompkins, played at Georgia, so he was comfortable with the staff and the school.
