Message: [QUOTE="SCGamecock, post: 2027543, member: 6132"] They're not world beaters, yet.... but Joni is building a very solid program in Athens. She's young (so she'll be around for awhile), Southern (so she relates to her recruits culturally), learned from Andy Landers (his resume speaks for itself) and she's coaching a Georgia program that's not exactly bottom of the barrel... they actually have a little tradition in WCBB. I'm not discounting Georgia AT ALL in the hunt for Nelson-Ododa.. I think they have a shot at her. Remember, people initially didn't take SC seriously in the hunt for A'ja Wilson either until it got late and SC was one of the few still remaining for her services.. Joni is following the exact same model that Dawn constructed at SC.. And Georgia has good players already and more on the horizon... they have a sophomore, Caliya Robinson, that's probably one of the best sophomores in the SEC and will be a force by her senior year (Olivia's freshmen year)... and their 2017 recruiting class is VERY good.. they have two very good guards in Morrison and Connally that ESPN rated 5-stars and they also have Maya Caldwell, a big time scoring wing that SC was interested in and that I think is flying under the radar. Those are good players.. [/QUOTE]
