One of the state’s top basketball players will make her college decision at this weekend’s Ganon Baker Full Court Event, a showcase which features many elite prospects.
Erykah Davenport is a 6-foot-2 power forward from Tucker High School who was named the AJC’s Class AAAAA player of the year after averaging 16 points and 10 rebounds as a junior.
Davenport will pick between UGA, Florida State, Miami, N.C. State and Texas A&M at halftime of Sunday’s 3:30 p.m. game at Westlake High School.
Some other area players scheduled to participate in the event are St. pius high school’s Jasmine Carter (committed to UGA) Buford High School’ Bree Horrocks (committed to Purdue).
Tailback J.J. Green said he can’t say for sure how many times he has heard “you’re one play away from playing” from Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and running backs coach Bryan McClendon.

If nothing else, Georgia has ensured at least one thing about its season. Regardless of where the rest of the schedule takes them, whether its to an SEC championship, a BCS bowl bid or a national title, there will be no claims from outsiders that this team received too many breaks and escaped health issues, no suggestions that the road to success was lined with lollipops and unicorns.
Having been at Georgia four seasons now, soccer coach Steve Holeman doesn’t weird out nearly as much as he once did about playing Ole Miss, where he coached for 15 years.
