4 ⭐️ lead guard Justin Wise commits to the University of Georgia. Wise had some explosive scoring games, including a 42-point effort in front of UGA head coach Mike White during the GBCA Live event at Lakepoint. The 6’4” Wise can comfortably play both off and off the ball, brings good size to the lead guard position, and has deep three-point range.

This is great news. Thank you @OfficialGHSA! Georgia State has a beautiful 75m arena, lots of parking, and is in a great location. Fans will pack it out and most importantly, the PLAYERS will have a first class experience. Thank you for doing the best thing for the kids!

2028 guard Bryson Jatta (Hillgrove HS) put together an impressive travel season, getting multiple D1 offers in the process. At 6’2”, Bryson plays far bigger than his size, has a high motor, athleticism, and is a versatile scorer.

ELITE.

AJ Williams is good; he’s really good.

Now in the 2027 cycle, Williams is the No. 4 player in the Rivals150 and already drawing blue-blood programs. 👀

What are they seeing?

Here’s why I’m so high on his game:

Kirby Smart says the transfer portal has made too many coaches forget what the word “coach” means

“That’s what the word ‘coach’ is. It derived from 'stagecoach'… Where you took somebody from one place to the other.”

“Where are you taking your players… Instead of shipping them off or importing them from elsewhere?”

“Now it’s you coaching against me… And me coaching against you. Who makes their players better?”

“In the second portal window, there was very little effective movement. I call it ‘swap and spit.’ You just took somebody else’s two or three… And they took your two or three… You traded… And all you got was a new person.”

“Over 80% of the people had no impact. All they were doing was moving to move. They were just moving to move.”

“Let’s make our players better. Let’s say the ones we lifted and practiced with all last winter… They’re ours now.’”

“And they’re better now because they stayed here.”

Novak, Aaron, and Kyrie risked everything by refusing the advice of ‘Dr. Fauci’ and were ridiculed for doing so. They proved that the best role models for children are those brave enough to stand alone when the world demanded obedience…

[Dan McDonald @CoachD_Mac]

What if we just say anybody who wants to play college sports during the 2026-27 academic calendar is eligible (regardless of age, years of eligibility, pro experience, etc) and try again next year?
