Chad Simmons of UGASports.com reports that Takais Brown, a 6’8″ power forward from Southeastern Illinois Junior College, signed with Georgia this morning. Georgia went head-to-head with programs like Purdue, Indiana, UNLV, and Cincinnati for this out-of-state prospect – really one of the better unsigned posts still out there – and got him. Dennis Felton identified Brown early in the process, and his persistence was rewarded as Brown favored the Bulldogs over a slew of teams who only recently began to show interest.

His junior college coach Todd Franklin said, “He could be the missing piece for UGA to go to the tournament.” From your mouth to the selection committee’s ears, coach.
