Great pickup!!! Before we all start waxing poetic, let’s realize that MT will take some time to develop and won’t start posting double doubles until lhe gets acclimated to coach Fox’s system. My hope is that he will be a solid support player for the first half of the season and a meaningful contributor by the time the SEC schedule kicks off in january.
We needed this guy folks, not only for his basketball prowess but for sending the message that top GA recruits will seriously consider the dawgs as a basketball destination in college. Good luck MT–we wish you all the best!!

Couldn’t agree more…it’s great to land a big in-state recruit.
Fox has already offered two 5-star recruits and four 4-star recruits for 2011 – http://scouthoops.scout.com/a.z?s=75&p=9&c=11&cfg=bb&yr=2011&pid=-1&sspid=-1&iRatingValue=-1&iGetJUCOFlag=-1&iCommitFlag=-1&iGroupbyPosition=0&toinid=571&iInterestLevelId=-1&iOffer=1&iRecruitVisitFlag=-1&OrderbyColumn=RatingValue.
