A Quick Hoops Note

I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate the Dawgs hoops team for at least making it to the dance. While this should not be a major accomplishment in and of itself, the circumstances that led up to it made it very special.

The team has been in basketball purgatory since our beloved Michael Adams vetoed the evil Vince Dooley and chose Jim Harrick to oversee the program. How'd that turn out? For extra credit, how many halves are in a game? Maybe Coach Felton and the team have turned the corner and making the dance will become an automatic.

Checking out the rivals 150 for 2007, 2008, and 2009, the the State of Georgia ranks 2nd, 1st, and 2nd of the home states represented. Maybe winning the SEC will be a building block that allows Felton to at least grab a handful of the top in-state talent.

Felton also has to take his fair share of the blame for the current state of affairs. Maybe his staff could have performed a more thorough background check on some of the kids that have come thru lately. Of course, I'm sure that the top recruits in the country haven't exactly been beating down the door to come to UGA.

Hopefully, this is the first step to bringing stability to the program.
