Dawson likely transferred with Football and Baseball in mind, but don’t underestimate the impact he could have on the hardwood over the next two years. Fowler should be really good in a more specialized role for Byrnes, giving them depth, versatility, and athleticism off the bench.

Dawson had an excellent sophomore year playing both football and basketball for the Yellow Jackets. He’s QB1 on the gridiron, but on the hardwood, he was a crucial role player who helped fill many voids to help create a successful unit. Fowler can make his presence felt without the ball as a screener, communicator, and rebounder, plus he has some decent touch and is a strong passer when he does have the rock.

Fowler was on the other side of Flinn in Saturday’s fourth game. He is a solid sophomore starter who also plays QB for the Yellow Jackets. When on the hardwood, he plays really hard, working the glass, staying active without the ball, and even getting on the floor for loose balls. Dawson is also a capable player with the ball in his hands because he is tough through contact and has good touch at the rim. He tallied 5 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 block in the loss.
