Whats going wrong with Dawg Basketball?

     The Georgia Bulldogs Basketball team is off to a tough start to the season with their current record sitting at 6-22. The bulldogs started this basketball season missing 6 of their last year's starters and still trying to fill the gap that now NBA star Anthony Edwards left when he left the program in 2020. The Bulldogs are currently sitting last in the South Eastern Conference with a record of 1-14. This season, the Bulldogs have yet to clinch an away game win, this is unique and raises questions on whether it's on the coaching staff, the players, or the fans. It is undoubtedly true that you will never get a crowd to travel for an away game like they would for football, but what must change in order for UGA to find these wins while away at the opponent's court? Earlier this week, Georgia lost by nearly 20 to the Texas A&M Aggies in what they expect to be a good game. Starting off the game strong, Georgia nearly led the game at halftime and lost all hope toward the end of the game when it seemed like the aggies three-point shooters couldn't miss the basket. With the football program coming off such a spectacular season, the basketball team must be feeling the pressure to perform in a similar manner. In reality, this team needs to begin focusing on what is best for the future of the program. Any kind of playoff push for the Bulldogs is out of the question, so what should they do now? The answer to this question is focused on recruiting and preparing the program for next year. Ending the season strong would be a huge win for Georgia as it hopefully would allow for recruits to overlook the slow start to the season it has been thus far.

      On the morning of Wednesday, April 13th, Bulldog fans received word that quarterback JT Daniels will be transferring to West Virginia to play in the Big 12 for the Mountaineers. Daniels will be playing as a graduate transfer once receiving his degree in psychology from UGA in May. Upon the news of JT Daniels transferring, he had nothing but high praises for Georgia fans. A quote by Daniels reads "I love Georgia and Georgia has always loved me since I've been here, it's been a really, really good and supportive fan base. I'm very thankful,". In his two seasons with Georgia, Daniels went 7-0 while setting school records for passing efficiency and yards per attempt. Daniels was unfortunately sidelined due to an injury in his upper body that led to the start of the national championship-winning quarterback Stetson Bennet. Daniels will hope to pick up the pieces of this West Virginia team who is coming off of a 6-7 season under their fourth-year coach Neal Brown.

Georgia lands huge Texas recruit

 With the Georgia Bulldogs losing two big names in their running back core, Zamir White and James Cook, Kirby Smart and the Dawgs look to fill that hole with their new recruiting class. Luckily, these young running backs see the path that former Bulldogs such as Todd Gurley, Nick Chubb, Sony Michelle, and many more have paved. After losing longtime Georgia commit Jordan James, Georgia fans were worried that more of their recruits would flip and potentially choose other schools. However, that is not the case with the newest commit from the class of 2022, Andrew Paul. From Dallas, Texas, Andrew Paul is a highly recruited 3 star running back who was predicted to go to Clemson but chose his home to be in Athens. Paul played at Keller Central running an 11.73 100 meter as a sophomore and rushing for 747 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns. While those numbers sound very promising, his 2021 junior season was better by a mere 2,000 yards. Rushing for an unbelievable 2612 yards with 41 rushing tou
