1. Alex Fudge, F, LSU

Alex Fudge is an explosive 6-foot-8 forward out of LSU. With Fudge when you look at his stats they are not going to jump off the page at you. Averaging 3.3 PPG, and 3.2 RPG, and shot 42% from the field in about 14 minutes per game.

Adding a nice-sized explosive forward like Fudge would help improve Georgia Tech immediately. Fudge only being a freshman last season still has three years of eligibility to work with so that also would be intriguing for Pastner because it gives him a player that can be a long-term piece and gives Fudge more time to develop.

In Fudge’s original recruiting Pastner and the Georgia Tech staff made a strong push for him but failed in the end as he committed to LSU. Now with him entering the portal, he has some kind of familiarity with the program and is a guy we know from the past that Pastner sees something in. That is why Alex Fudge is number one my list.
