Athens — Ebuka Anyaorah, a 6-foot-4 guard from North Gwinnett High, has committed to Georgia and will sign a national letter-of-intent with the Bulldogs on Wednesday.
Anyaorah will be the fifth and final signee for the 2008 class. Howard "Trey" Thompkins, Dustin Ware and Drazen Zlovaric signed with the Bulldogs in November. Anyaorah and Decatur's Travis Leslie will sign on during the spring period, which begins Wednesday.

Anyaorah, a native Nigerian who has lived in the U.S. since he was 1 year old, averaged 26.3 points and 8.3 rebounds as a senior at North Gwinnett this past season. According to his high school coach, Len Garner, Anyaorah was recruited by Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Texas A&M, Michigan and Vanderbilt and originally committed to Colorado before changing his mind and deciding to join the Bulldogs.
"He can jump out of the gym, he has a real good mid-range game, and he has great 3-point range," said Garner, who said Anyaorah played AAU ball for the Atlanta Celtics. "Once a major college program gets hold of him and works him out regularly, there's no telling how good he can be."
