Georgia Bulldogs
The “hometown” program of the finalists, Edwards would have the chance to completely turn around a program that’s been slowly sinking to the bottom of the SEC. First-year head coach Tom Crean has already jumpstarted the recruiting overall, picking up top-60 prospect Jaykwon Walton along with three-star commit Toumani Camara.
Those two will add to a frontcourt that’s currently the strength of the team. The Bulldogs leading scorers are forwards Rayshaun Hammonds and Nicholas, both of whom should return for another season.
But while the frontcourt has been solid, the backcourt needs vast improvement. There’s no guard on the team that’s averaging double figures, with undersized players Tyree Crump and TeShaun Hightower leading the way. They are will return for the 2019-20 campaign, and could use an elite scorer like Edwards.
Next season, Georgia is projected to have one of the better frontcourts in the SEC but arguably the worst backcourt, which will limit any potential improvement that could be made. Edwards can come in and average 30+ mpg and over 20 shots a night while displaying his skills as the focal point of a team. But the Bulldogs are the worst on this list and the furthest away from truly competing in March. For Coach Crean’s sake, the “hometown factor” will have to be a huge one for Edwards in his decision-making.
