Georgia basketball adds yet another player to 2019 class
Believe it or not, Georgia men's basketball coach Tom Crean managed to squeeze another recruit into his heralded recruiting class of 2019.
Michael Peake, a 6-foot-7 forward from Kansas City, announced via Twitter on Monday that he'd accepted a scholarship offer from the Bulldogs and planned to enroll for fall semester. Peake was a late academic qualifier. UGA classes begin next Wednesday.
“I'm excited to announce my commitment to the University of Georgia,” Peake said on Twitter. “Coach Crean has a long history of developing players at the highest level. “I'm excited to give him a chance to develop me.”
Recruiting analysts say Peake has shown steady and sharp improvement in summer-league play. He was considered one of the best players on the floor in last week's Peach Jam all-star showcase in Augusta.
At Georgia, Peake will join a recruiting class that was already ranked No. 5 in the country and included six other members. He joins the nation's No. 2 prospect in Anthony Edwards, four other Top 100-rated players and a Division 1 transfer.
