Recruiting: UGA hoops adds another big man

The Georgia men’s basketball has a need for frontcourt players next year, whether or not Trey Thompkins goes pro. Two post players signed in the fall, and another is on the way.

Nemanja Djurisic, a 6-foot-8 forward from Montenegro, has committed to the Bulldogs, according to several reports. Djurisic has been playing for the prep team in South Kent School in Connecticut. That school’s head coach, Kelvin Jefferson, told Georgia247sports.com that Djurisic has “a great skill set” and is one of the team’s top 3-point shooters.

Djurisic can sign in the late signing period, which begins April 13. Tim Dixon, a 6-foot-10 prospect from Columbus, and 7-foot junior college prospect John Florveus signed in November.

Women advance

The Georgia women’s basketball team won its first-round NCAA tournament game on Sunday night, knocking off Middle Tennessee State. The sixth-seeded Lady Bulldogs move on to a Tuesday game against third-seeded Florida State in Auburn, Ala.

  1. Seth,

    When do you plan on covering Spring football at Georgia? The basketball team never des aynthing, so there's little interest, and the season's over, one and done.

  2. B-ball team will be much worse next year without Leslie & Thompkins. This was Fox's best chance to go deep into the tourney, and Fox blew it, couldn't even win a single tournnament game. It's all downhill from here.

  5. I would think Seth would cover spring football when they actually practice.

  6. I guess Spring will be over before Seth starts covering Spring football, only a few days until the Spring game. Practices starting the week before Spring break, a while back.

    You guys know a good blog to read about Georgia Spring football?

  15. Please, ENUF about stinkin basketball. Georgia got ousted in the first game, season is kaput. I cry every time I think about the complete waste of talented Leslie & Thompkins by Fox. Only causes more pain to keep talkin about the dissapointing season that might have been.

  16. Beautiful weather always brings the trolls out - the rest of us are outside enjoying the beautiful girls and sunshine. Techies on the other hand are looking around the "Urbane Campus" and wondering what a real girl looks like. Sad life when all you have to do is visit UGA Blogs - later dudes - the weather is calling.
