Georgia's Best Available 2024s
It’s visit season thus it’s commitment season. Several of Georgia’s top prospects have made their college pledges already, but there are plenty of high-level players left on the board.
As commitments come in, we’ll continue to update this list of the five best available in the state.
The best available prospect in Georgia’s 2024 class is Grayson guard Gicarri Harris.
Harris is as consistent as they come. His impact on winning can be felt across the board. While he isn’t elite in one specific area, he’s as well-rounded a prospect as there is in the class. He doesn’t make mistakes often.
Because of Harris’ steady nature on the floor, he’s being heavily recruited by high major programs. After already taking visits to Georgia Tech and Miami, Harris has visits to Virginia Tech, Purdue and LSU on the horizon.
Smith has been one of the more well-regarded prospects in Georgia’s 2024 class since he was a freshman.
At around 6-foot-10, he combines size and skill in a way that can see him the floor early at the next level. It’s also clear that he’s not a finished product. There’s so much potential for growth at the next level. Whoever lands him is getting one of the more versatile prospects in Georgia.
Smith has recently visited Bradley, and he has visits to Mercer, Florida Gulf Coast and Clemson coming up.
The best available point guard, KJ Greene is coming off of a fantastic junior season with Pace Academy that resulted in a state championship.
One of the reasons why the Knights were so good was because of their defensive efforts, and Greene was the first line of defense on the ball. He has plus positional size and uses it to keep pressure on opposing guards well. Greene is productive on offense and gets points on the board whether he’s scoring or distributing.
His upcoming visits are planned for Central Florida, Siena, Florida State and South Carolina.
Lue is the most physically imposing on this list. He’s been that way since he was an underclassman.
A long, athletic forward, Lue’s presence can be overwhelming when he’s operating at his best. His jumper has evolved into a bonafide weapon as well. His ability to take over a game physically paired with his ability to make skilled plays has several schools vying for his commitment.
Lue has visits to Georgia and Georgia State planned.
Hipps is in a good spot to have his best high school season since coming to Georgia. With McEachern, he’ll be in the brightest spotlight in the state.
He’s one of the best shooters in Georgia and maybe the best available in the state. Hipps has plenty of attention from several D1s. Specifically, Drexel has emerged as one of the schools that has been after him hardest. With Hipps having roots in that northeast region, the pairing would be fitting if it comes to fruition.
