First, I'll be focusing in on who Georgia lost, and who they'll have coming in to take their places.
Losses:
Kevin Brophy, G: The Bulldogs lost Brophy in a car accident this summer, as we all know well. He was really coming along as a solid backup point guard toward the end of SEC play last year, particularly on the defensive end, so he’ll be missed on the court almost as much as he has been off of it. Without Brophy, Georgia lacks a true backup for Sundiata Gaines.
Younes Idrissi, F: Idrissi is another guy who improved greatly from his freshman to sophomore year. He’s a very, quick athletic big man who is still learning the game. If he ever gets his act together, he can be a heck of a player. Unfortunately, he took his services to Iona over the summer.
Jay McAuley, G: The former walk-on was Georgia’s lone senior last season. Though he saw his role diminish greatly with the arrival of Mike Mercer and Billy Humphrey, he’s a guy Georgia surely could've used this year with the loss of Brophy.
Takais Brown
Newcomers:
Takais Brown, F: One of the top ten junior college transfers in the country, the Bulldogs are fortunate to have landed the 6-8 250 lb. forward in the off season. From what I’ve read, he’s the definition of the word “banger,” and with the highly publicized frontcourt struggles Georgia had last year, he could be just what the doctor ordered.
Albert Jackson, F/C: No one really knows what to expect out of this 6-10 freshman out of Oak Hill Academy this year. But by all accounts, he’s going to get every opportunity to contribute right away. Hopefully, he can at least give the Bulldogs some good minutes on defense if he is still a little unpolished.
