The end of Mark Fox in Athens? 5-star point guard Ashton Hagans decommits from Georgia

Could this mark the beginning of the end of the Mark Fox era in Athens?

The future of his Bulldog program took a significant blow Monday as Ashton Hagans has decommitted from Georgia. Hagans is considered by many as the nation’s top point guard in the 2019 recruiting cycle. 247Sports lists him as the nation’s No. 8 overall prospect.

Hagans committed to Georgia back in December over Florida State, Tennessee and Auburn, among others.

The decision to back off his pledge to UGA is certainly going to lead to some question regarding Fox’s future in Athens. Georgia is 16-12 on the season and 7-9 in SEC play heading into the final week of the regular season:
