My jaw is on the floor. Dennis Felton has landed Trey Thompkins (6'8" and 225 lb power forward) of Atlanta picked the Georgia Bulldogs over the Florida Gators and several other elite programs.(Image: Scout.com)
Thompkins is ranked as the #16 overall prospect in the nation by Scout.com and #13 by Rivals.com.
This is the b-ball equivalent of Richt signing Caleb King...only much, much less expected. I'm positively thrilled for Coach Felton. Excluding Louis Williams, who never enrolled at UGA, this is the highest rated hoops prospect to officially commit to Georgia since at least Jumaine Jones...if not all the way back to Carlos Strong.
Who knows if he'll live up to the billing, but just getting him to say yes is HUGE for Felton's credibility with fans, AAU coaches and the administration.
