Also (and perhaps related), does anyone else get the impression that out of state programs aren’t exactly recruiting Georgia in accord with the rules?

Can Djurisic dunk?

1) A starting position from day one
2) 40% of the offense will run through him in the paint
3) Anything else he wants

In his 1.5 years in Athens he has yet to take a ball strong to the basket. He seems to prefer flicking the ball up recklessly and as quickly as possible.

We did a super job not turning the ball over (with the exception of a three-minute span at the end of the first half); we shot the ball well–as long as we were outside three feet of the basket; and we even battled pretty evenly on the boards. This was a game we really deserved to win. It’s a shame we can’t make easy baskets…should they not be dunking the ball to ensure it goes in?

Tenn got back in the game when our three rebounders were all sitting in the first half with 2 fouls each. Is that a good strategy? Two of them did foul out-but conceding points by sitting three bigs?
Time is running out for any meaningful recovery. Hard to be optimistic, but I keep watching and hoping.
