The more that is explained, the more sense it seems that the 2025 quarterback committed to the Bulldogs last week.
Ryan Montgomery doesn’t hide his story, so we won’t either.
Montgomery knew where he wanted to go to college the whole time. Montgomery visited Georgia for the first time in between his freshman and sophomore years. He’d never been to Athens, but he’d developed a bond with then OC-Todd Monken. Two years ago now, Montgomery remembers leaving that trip certain Georgia was the best fit for him, even if the Bulldogs didn’t understand that yet. He did.
These Demon Deacons just don’t know how to quit. Down 5-1, 7-4 and 8-7, Wake Forest scored twice in the bottom of the eighth to claim a one-run lead just to have closer Cole Roland come in and surrender a leadoff home run.
But Roland didn’t falter, getting the next three Seminoles in order, giving Wake Forest a chance to walk it off in the bottom of the inning. Cameron Gill took four straight out of the zone for a walk, then Marek Houston worked a full count into a base on balls as well, paving the way for heroics (sort of) from Adam Tellier.
The national championship game battle between two premier big men in UConn’s Donovan Clingan and Purdue’s Zach Edey put the finishing touches on an NCAA Tournament filled with NBA talent. March Madness pits the best against the best, and across all of the postseason action, future pros like Dalton Knecht and Terrence Shannon Jr. lit up the scoreboard with dominant scoring ability. The Kentucky tandem of Rob Dillingham and Reed Sheppard also starred throughout the campaign, though their tournament stay was short-lived.
Not every college basketball standout has the required skillset to thrive at the next level, but many of the biggest names from the 2023-24 season project to come off the board at the NBA Draft and embark on professional careers. While this year’s draft is widely considered to be among the weakest in recent history, there is still plenty of talent to go around.
At the end of the NCAA Tournament, CBS Sports’ Kyle Boone unveiled his latest NBA mock draft, and numerous March Madness standouts headlined the biggest risers up the board.
