Crump and Harris stay in state

Well, that was unexpected.

Even as Mark Fox struggles to round out the 2015 recruiting class, two big 2016 dominoes fall, and they land in Athens.

These commitments are big for a couple reasons:
  1. They are Georgia kids.  We say often "if Georgia could just get keep some talent in state..."  Well, that's what's happening.
  2. They are ranked Georgia kids.  To be more specific, Georgia is getting some ranked kids to stay.  Two top 10 Georgia players committing this early to the G is not something we see around here very often.
  3. They are positions of need.  The most obvious holes in the roster in 2016 were those that would be left by Charles Mann and Kenny Gaines.  Fox just got highly regarded players at both positions.  Fantastic.
These two kids are friends and they committed together.  Well done, Fox and company.  I look forward to learning more about them and, eventually, seeing them in red and black.

Hopefully some of those 2015 targets see this and realize the future could be bright in Athens, GA...
