Below are a few stories that I have written on Georgia basketball during my time with 247Sports. I have selected a few, however you can view all of my content by clicking here.
Tom Crean and the Georgia basketball team finished the 2019-20 season with a 16-16 record on March 11th after an opening round win over Ole Miss in the SEC Tournament. Their second round game scheduled for the next day against Florida was canceled due to coronavirus, and with that, the college careers of at least four Bulldogs came to a close. Seniors Tyree Crump, Donnell Gresham Jr. and Jordan Harris exhausted their NCAA eligibility while SEC Freshman of the Year Anthony Edwards announced that he would be declaring for the 2020 NBA Draft just over a week after the season concluded.

It would be Georgia’s second graduate transfer in as many seasons following in the footsteps of the aforementioned Gresham, who joined the Bulldogs after playing his first three seasons of college basketball at Northeastern.

ATLANTA, Ga. — Anthony Edwards made his presence known at the McDonald’s All American Game in Atlanta. The Atlanta native got the start in front of his hometown crowd and made the most of his game high 21 minutes, scoring 12 points, bringing in two rebounds, and assisting on three scores for the East team in route to a 115-100 victory.

ATHENS, Ga. — First-year Georgia head coach Tom Crean is working to change the identity of Bulldog basketball. Along with his championship pedigree, Crean has brought energy and pace to Athens. In order for the results to come, which he believes can happen, Crean needs to see his team establish their identity. Continue reading
