Off the board

It was a busy week in recruiting as three Georgia hoopers popped for a commitment.

A day later Campbell wing Dante Clark (2015) committed to Mississippi State. On Saturday, Wheeler forward Elijah Staley also popped for Mississippi State as a two-sport player.

Are you in?

We are hosting some of the top talent in Georgia and the South this summer. Starting things off is The Preview. What is it? Glad you asked. The Preview is an invite-only elite camp featuring the best of the best in Georgia. If you've been invited, have you registered yet? The Preview 2016 | The Preview 2017

The Best of the South is exactly what the name says it is. Our live-period event on July 18-21 will be the go-to event for college coaches and teams. Much like the Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions, this will be the event that everyone is talking about. National media companies Scout.com and ESPN.com confirmed they will be attending this week.
