Dylan James, a 4-star combo forward from Winter Haven, Florida, made a verbal commitment to Georgia on Friday, choosing the Bulldogs over UCF, Georgia Tech and several others.
Georgia lands Dylan James of Winter Haven High in Florida. Consensus top 100 prospect. 6-9, long, athletic four-man who can really shoot it. Cam Johnson type.
Second Top 100 commit in Class of 2023 along with Mari Jordan for the Bulldogs.

James, listed at 6-foot-8, 195 pounds, played his sophomore year at The Rock Academy in Gainesville, Florida before returning to Winter Haven for his junior season.
He helped lead the Blue Devils to the Florida High School state semifinals in Class 6A. James averaged 15.8 points per game and 8.5 rebounds to be named the Player of the Year by The (Lakeland) Ledger.
“The first time I ever spoke to coach White and Pastrana was during my 16u summer and that was when they offered me while they were at Florida and the other coaches, coach Reynolds-Dean and Miskdeen were easy to immediately click with anytime I saw or spoke to them,” James said.
247Sports has White rated as 95th best player in the nation and 20th best power forward.
