So I know I'm supposed to give a midweek entertainment report today, but this info was too big not to comment on. Miller Grove forward Donte Williams committed to play for the Georgia Basketball team and Mark Fox has gotten himself a huge piece in the rebuilding process.
I've watched this guy in two straight Class AAAA semi-final games (once last year and once this year, duh) and this guy is a PLAYER. 6'9 and 210, Williams has the ability to be a long-armed defender IMMEDIATELY and from what I saw the last two seasons, he can add weight and become a dominant low post player eventually during his Bulldog career.
Mark Fox has a good one in Williams, especially when teamed with Cady Lalanne (6'9 F) of Florida and perhaps Dwayne Polee (6'7 W/SG) from the Left Coast and maybe the other SG from the Florida juco Sherrard Brantley, and this recruiting class (including Gerald Robinson Jr from ETSU who is eligible to play this year after sitting out last season) could help Georgia make the Tourney this season.
Trey Thompkins would have to come back, but if he does, and Travis Leslie (returns and) makes the switch to SG, this team could be a huge player in the SEC. Imagine....
PG Dustin Ware
SG Travis Leslie
SF/W Gerald Robinson Jr
PF Trey Thompkins
C Jeremy Price
Bench:
Vincent Williams
Chris Barnes
Ebuka Anyorah
Cady Lalanne
Donte Williams
maybe Dwayne Polee (who would likely start)
maybe Sherrard Brantley (who'd likely get quality minutes backing up Leslie)
and suddenly this team is something to be reckoned with. Just saying. Donte Williams sees the future of Georgia. Perhaps other in-state talent will too. Mark Fox is building something. GET DOWN TO ATHENS TO CATCH THEM SOON! GO DAWGS!
