Scholarship open after the elder Newell was put on scholly.

Have to believe it is for the Balkan PG but I've seen nothing concrete on it but whispers and chatter on here…

Totally. It is already sooooooo far up from the abyss he who shall not be mentioned left us in.

Fox and Crean have the most to blame IMO.

Can you imagine Harrick in the NIL era?

Harrick? Felton? Fox? Crean? There are so many to pick from to be honest. The bar is low.

Harrick was a helluva coach who was thrown under the bus for the tiniest of alleged infractions....

Wow,think about Jacob Wilkins alread coming next year ,and the the way Coach White and staff recruits, the future has excitement,that is for true UGA fans. The school basketball now has idenity ,players follow good players and good coaching .I do hope the Serbian Savo Drezgic is next to sign.

Almost confident it's the Serbian PG. There is a lot to this that has to unfold for the pen to hit the paper and him to get to Athens.

First off, while I'm not sure if he still is as of today or tomorrow, he's playing for a Serbian national team overseas, and has made it clear completing that will be his main priority and focus right now.

Second he's going to have reclass up, that takes time and both parties to be 100% on board and in agreement what this would mean, it can be hard to convince a kid to skip your final year of HS basketball with much uncertainty. I also believe there is some paperwork and class work to sort out.

Third, as it is with all European players coming here to play basketball, it can be a painstaking process from the NCAA and many different groups to get approved and officially on roster to compete. I imagine they have prepared for this and have started this process, but look no further than last year with Big Z at Kentucky. They picked him up late, I'm talking their preseason trip to Europe (like we did last year in Italy, so realize how late in the offseason that is it's already preseason), and then on top of that he didn't debut until his game again us which was in SEC play.

So all in all, I think this process will take a while, and honestly, him committing doesn't ensure that he's on the next flight over to Athens.

I trust in CMW and he seems very confident that they are still on the recruiting trail and I hear lots of buzz how this deal is as close to done as it gets.

Another thing I forgot to mention, I'm not sure his citizenship status in the United States, but if so that makes NIL collection even harder if you play on a VISA, so they would have to set up work arounds for that where he could claim the NIL money off US soil.

I think we will have him committed and on campus before the end of summer. It's just a waiting game right now for us eager fans.

Thanks for your imformation and insight ,really think that he will help this team with his experience ,and ofcourse outside shooting, last years needed it ,and it hurt down the stretch,really think J Newell will help as well,thanks again for taking the time out and for your knowledge about the team.
