Michigan pipeline

Everyone around the Georgia basketball program always says that if Mark Fox could just build a wall around Michigan he'd have plenty of talent to win.  They do say that, right?

Either way, we woke up to some good news this morning:
For the second straight year, the Georgia men's basketball team has reached into Michigan to get a fast-rising big man.

Michael Edwards, a 6-foot-9 forward from Westland, Mich., committed to Georgia on Monday night.
This is no unknown "diamond in the rough," either.  Edwards star has been on the rise for quite some time and he had interest and offers from places like Auburn, Kansas State, Arkansas, Pitt, SMU, Michigan, and Notre Dame.

That eats up the last scholarship, but it doesn't necessarily mean the Dawgs are done:
Edwards' signature later this month would for at least the moment fill up Georgia's 13 scholarships for next year's team. But sources have said that the Bulldogs would continue to look into other possibilities, such as graduate transfers who could play right away. They would also be interested in Tevin Mack, the four-star guard who signed with VCU but has asked out of his letter-of-intent because of the coaching change.

And if mega-recruit Jaylen Brown, the star from Wheeler High School, surprises everyone and selects Georgia, the Bulldogs would find a way to fit him on the roster.
Silly season isn't over quite yet.

For now, though, let's welcome Michael to the DawgNation.   He's a stud who fills a need, and we should be glad to have him.
