One more roster spot

Seth Emerson reports that Georgia is 'actively' trying to fill that last roster spot:
"We're still actively looking, and recruiting some guys," Fox said Tuesday before the UGA Day in Albany. "So you shouldn't be surprised if we fill it. It's gotta be the right guy. So you shouldn't be surprised if we don't (use the scholarship.) But we'll see where it goes."
Ok, so Mark Fox hedges a bit, but clearly if the right player says he wants to be a Bulldog next year it's going to happen.  So who might that be?  Georgia Basketball Blog has some thoughts.

I'll let you read the whole write-up, but it sounds like James White and Tevin Mack are the most likely to fill that spot (and in that order) followed in a distant third place by Kobe Eubanks.  So who would you like to see in red and black next year?

Put me squarely in the Tevin Mack camp.  I know all the talk is about how thin Georgia is in the post, and that's true, but I think Mack makes Georgia a Sweet 16 contender as soon as next season.  That means I believe Yante Maten and Derek Ogbeide (with just a pinch of Osahen Iduwe, a sprinkle of Houston Kessler, and a splash of Michael Edwards) can hold down the interior next year.

Mack brings big-time scoring at the 3 position to a team desperately in need of big-time scoring from the 3 position.  If he wants a program which he can elevate, and which can return the favor by putting him in the NBA, he doesn't have to look any farther than Athens, GA.
