<p>Coming off a Final 4 run, the Tigers will try to get over the hump with an electric backcourt which features Jayddence Ford, who is back in Georgia after spending time in Alabama. He explosive scorer is lights-out from deep and plays with speed and instincts. [player_tooltip player_id='2480992' first='TJ' last='Woodson'] is now a sophomore, an impressively built athlete who can overpower the opposition. He averaged 9.8 points in Year 1. Jakobe Caslin returns as the team's leading scorer at 12.4 points per game.</p>

<p>With the addition of [player_tooltip player_id='2836442' first='Deven' last='Nelson'] (16.7 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 2.8 apg, 1.2 spg) from Baldwin, the Eagles are loaded with talent. Already in place is pass-first distributor [player_tooltip player_id='2426167' first='Chance' last='Reynolds']. [player_tooltip player_id='2426929' first='Zayd' last='Muhammad'] is a unique guard at 6-foot-7, a slender Swiss Army Knife coming off a First Team All-Region season. Carlin Jacobs is a high-flyer that can play all over the floor.</p>

<p>The tandem of [player_tooltip player_id='2708426' first='De'Quayvian' last='Lovette'] and La'Quinton Morgan is lethal. Lovette won Class 2A Freshman of the Year honors after averaging 17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.7 steals. Morgan is heading into his senior season coming off a year in which he racked up 16.6 points, 4 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.8 steals a night. The two feed off one another and give the Bears a chance in every game they play.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1543525' first='Bentley' last='Huff'], [player_tooltip player_id='2523844' first='Hudson' last='Huff'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2826524' first='Sam' last='Shaver'] round out a steady core. The Lions are competitive and all can hurt they opposition with their outside shot. Hudson had some prolific scoring outputs as a freshman. Shaver can catch fire on catch-and-shoot threes while Bentley is the elder statesmen who can provide savvy offense and heady defense nightly.</p>
