Commitment catch-up


In back-to-back days, two Georgia juniors have given a verbal commitment to two different Southeastern Conference schools.

Redan forward Kenny Hall (pictured) unofficially visited Tennessee over the weekend and saw the Vols knock out Kentucky on Saturday. He committed shortly after his trip to Knoxville. The 6-foot-8 forward also considered Duke, Kentucky, UCLA and others.

A day later, North Clayton guard Andre Malone picked up the phone and called Auburn head coach Jeff Lebo to commit to the Tigers. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard will join Robert Chubb of McIntosh in Auburn's 2009 recruiting class. Both Malone and Chubb have played in the Georgia Hoops Fall Showcase.

Georgia has a verbal commitment from Franklin County star DeMario Mayfield.
