We'll see. I like to think that it has a lot less to do with some moral standing against AAU and more to do with Fox just being an absolutely lousy recruiter.

Kinda like how our fans love to talk about our drug policy when we are giving up 99 yd TDs
Trust me, I hope we get as sleezy as possible

That's 100% incorrect. There's some good young talent on this team. Mann, Gaines, Parker, Frazier, etc... is a good nucleolus to build a program. UGA is just fortunate enough to have the WORST basketball coach in the country.

Whoever it is had better steel his resolve and bust arse on the recruiting trail.
Unlike football, college basketball teams only sign between 3-8 players a year (unless your UK because your entire team leaves for the NBA). All it takes is ONE great recruiting class to be relevant. It doesn't start at the AAU level like most of you people say. It starts by getting 2-3 elite JUCO talents, then filling in the holes.

Once you build a program, the AAU talents will come.

First off college basketball as a whole sucks compared to the eighties. The great players go after the first year.
Second we should have begged Tubby Smith to come back after KU let him go.

I will continue to refuse acknowledgement of the program's existence until Fox is gone.

Why don't they just put up a circus tent in Sanford lay down a floor and raze Stegeman to the ground then you have the correct starting point coupled with a sense of urgency.
You just can't refurbish something economically which opened in 1964 with 2014 in mind, that's physically irresponsible big picture.
Plus we need a great facility so the ACC will take us in.

I really hope we go for Pearl after Fox is fired. He's slimy but he'll get us to the promised land.

I hope Fox gets canned mid-conference.
Posted on 1/5/14 at 11:23 am to JoLeUGA
He won't because that is not the "Georgia Way", so we get the pleasure of having a lame duck coach until March

I think the new coach hired comes into a solid situation honestly. This team returns everyone but Dante, should be able to come in and be a decent, 500 team. Then you have 6 scholarships open to immediately bring in all your own guys and it also happens to be a very good year of talent in GA HS ball.
only takes 1 or 2 classes to completely change a basketball program. It definitely can be done here. I'm just praying the AD decides to put some effort into it. It's embarrassing being so bad at basketball all winter.

^^This^^
But it is so obvious it will never happen plus they would have to commit to drastically upgrade facilities for him to come, which they won't.

Pearl would make sense, similar situation to what he stepped into at Tennessee. But no way the AD would take a chance like that or make a hire with that publicity.
Posted on 1/6/14 at 4:24 am to TigerinUGA
I don't see what the big deal with the publicity is. Pearl just lied about a secondary violation. That's all he did. People here in Knoxville would have him back in a heartbeat. They are already talking about wanting to fire Cuonzo to get Pearl back. The man single handedly put UT men's basketball on the map and rejuvenated fan support to an all-time high. He teamed up with Pat Summit and the football team to get support for every major sport there. Yeah, he may have lied about something stupid, but he's paid the penalty and if there's one man that rivals Peyton as all-time favorite UT person (besides Pat Summit of course) it's Bruce. That alone should be enough to want to hire him.
And you act like UGA basketball is some prestigious program that has to keep up its high class image. UGA basketball HAS NO IMAGE. When you're a shite arse program you have to take risks, but then again there's virtually no risk with him. What are you scared he may make our basketball program good so you have one less thing to bitch about? Hiring Pearl here would be the next best thing to happen to UGA athletics since we signed Herschel.
Or do you want to hire another Fox that does mediocre at best and gets fired in the next 5 years just to be back in the same situation with Stegeman 5 years older?

Heck no.
Stegeman still has the lingering stench of Jim Harrick on it. No way do I want Pearl anywhere near our campus, let alone as a head coach.

Most of these assholes have no idea of the damage done by Herrick and how it hurt football too. They just run their simple cocksuckers on the www...

I keep forgetting we have a basketball team.
