One of the best shooting guard prospects in the country is joining the Georgia Bulldogs. On Wednesday, IMG Academy four-star shooting guard Blue Cain announced his\u00a0<\/span>commitment to Georgia hoops<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cain (6-foot-4, 180 pounds) had previously signed with Georgia Tech. He\u00a0<\/span>also had offers from<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Virginia, East Tennessee State, Howard, Penn State<\/a>, South Carolina, Syracuse and Tennessee<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Going by the composite rankings, Cain is No. 11 among shooting guards, No. 8 in Florida and No. 74 nationally in his class. On3 has him ranked as high as No. 9 at his position and No. 4 in the state, though.<\/span><\/p>\n

As his seven-star name suggests, Cain is an ice-in-his-veins shooter from three-point range and can even occasionally pull off a Steph Curry-like stunt in the clutch. Observe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike many long-range shooters, Cain can also put the ball on the floor and create for his teammates or finish at the rim himself.<\/p>\n

Asked why he picked the Bulldogs, Cain said the school just felt like home, per Travis Branham at 247Sports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“It just felt like home, I had a great relationship with the coaching staff and they had a plan, vision and belief in me… Just how involved they were with everybody and how hands on they were with me throughout the process.”<\/p>\n

Cain is the highest-ranked player in Georgia’s 2023 class<\/a>, just edging out Winter Haven (Fla.) four-star power forward Dylan James. Together, this group ranks No. 18 in the country.<\/p>\n
