Georgia Basketball: Dylan James commits to Bulldogs, Mike White

Winter Haven (Fla.) High four-star recruit Dylan James tells On3 he has committed to Georgia.

James, a 6-foot-9 class of 2023 center, ultimately chose the Bulldogs over Iona, VCU, UCF, and Georgia Tech. He also received offers from Mississippi State, Virginia Tech, Creighton, Georgetown, and others.

The senior stock riser is Georgia’s second addition to the class. He joins three-star SF Mari Jordan (No. 146).

James is the No. 107 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 11 center and the No. 11 player in the state of Florida.

James on his commitment to Georgia

“The coaches have been recruiting me the longest and showed love throughout the whole process from when they first showed interest,” James said to On3. “I fully trust them to help me be the best player I can be.”

What type of player is Georgia getting in Dylan James?

“A coachable player that’s ready to work,” he says. “I can play both ways and pride myself on defense. I’m looking to make a difference from day one.”

James has a message for Georgia fans.

“I’m 100% a Dawg. I love them and hopefully they show that same love when I’m there.”
