One would think we have a distinct advantage in this one. LOL I like our chances.
Is Chad really 6'5?
No, he was just being silly.mac25 said:

If Crean is who we hope he can be, this should be our bell cow for 2020.
Chad is every bit of 6'8".
Chad Simmons?

"I've been catching up with them a lot. I like those guys a lot. I have no complaints about them. Obviously Georgia will always have a special place with me because it's been there my whole life with my dad, uncle and brother. Coach Crean's style of play is a lot of positionless basketball. They got big men dribbling and shooting. Cody Zeller played a similar game to me. Coach Crean said he didn't shoot as much as I did, but he could dribble. He compared me a little to Nicolas Claxton on the team this year."
"I've definitely thought about going somewhere else other than Georgia just to get away from being a Kessler at Georgia, but I also think you can do your own thing at the same school and be your own person. I've looked it at both ways. If Georgia is the right place, that's where I'll go and I don't really care who in my family went there."
