Georgia lands commitment from talented Virginia Tech graduate transfer forward
A number of players have transferred from the Virginia Tech program after Buzz Williams left for Texas A&M, and that trend continued recently.
Talented 6-7 forward PJ Horne — who started for the Hokies this past season — recently entered the NCAA transfer portal, and now he’s heading back to his home state.
As you can see below, it was reported by Rivals’ Dan McDonald that Horne had committed to Tom Crean and the Georgia Bulldogs:

As a graduate transfer, Horne will be able to play immediately and will have 1 year of eligibility remaining.
During the 2019-20 season, Horne appeared in 32 games, starting 30 of them. He averaged 7.6 points and 4.2 rebounds per contest.
Welcome home young man!
We need some good news in recruiting since our football program isn’t doing too hot right now.
Go Dawgs!
LOL
Kirby must have loaned him some money.
Dude I don’t know what planet you’re from but please go back. Georgia runs a clean program.
“The Georgia football program paid a $10,000 fine and imposed multiple recruiting restrictions following impermissible benefits provided to recruits.
Bulldogs recruits received discounted or free school apparel three times between March 2017 and January 2019, according to a NCAA violations summary obtained by the Athens Banner-Herald’s Marc Weiszer.”
We also pay the highest stipend in college football despite being in the South where it’s cheap to live.
We may be the dirtiest program in the SEC which includes ‘Ole Miss.
Free or discounted apparel THREE times in an almost two year period?!?! The horror! No doubt that’s the dirtiest thing I’ve ever heard any university do. And UGA pays the highest allowable stipend under current rules??? For shame! You are so right and totally not a sad , biased, pathetic troll: UGA is hands down the filthiest program. Solid evidence to support a solid case, Trudawg. Doing God’s work.
Thank you for bringing attention to me correcting the above poster’s lies.
We are indeed over-paying recruits by stipend. We live in a Southern suburb with some Northern cities paying half what we pay.
If you can’t be honest and non-biased about our program, people will not respect your opinion like they do mine.
Crean has amazing energy and charisma.
