Both from right outside of Athens, GA. Dad went to UGA. Happy they are tigers but seems crazy they didn't end up at Georgia.

Since we got West out of the portal from Virginia, I'm guessing he wasn't really on Georgia's radar. Then Whit came here to play with big brother.

Believe that West was doing ok at Virginia when they took him from the portal. The staff know that he had a younger brother that was supposed to be a real player.

Position of need for LSU and it couldn't hurt taking him for the borderline 5* brother.

Especially since Kelly can't recruit elite players, and make no mistake, lil bro will be elite.

I'm guessing west was'nt as much of a priority coming out of the transfer portal for UGA as he was for us and it seems like his little bro really wanted to play with him. Also UGA has been killing it stacking really high rated guys at that position the last several cycles, there's a good chance neither of them were even a take on their board.

I think director of player development Jordan Arcement was at Virgina when West was there. Probably the connection to get him to the boot and then his brother followed

They both seem to love it here. That’s all that matters!

That is kind of what I remember. Seem I recall a few folks saying at the time that the player they wanted most was his younger brother (Whit) and West was a good player at a position they were light on and an inroad to his younger brother.

Great great kid and nephew of a friend of mine. This is the kind of player we will always want. Whit is a future star (or maybe current star) at LSU. West is not far behind...

Jordan Arcement was the connection on the older brother transferring to LSU

The Weeks went to the same HS as Max and Jake Johnson

Whit said when West was coming out he was all about SC until he visited LSU and he was wowed. That in part is how we got them.
