2. Will Richard, G, Belmont

Coming in at number two on my list I have Will Richard. Richard is a 6-foot-5, 195-pound guard who played extremely well last year for Belmont. Richard averaged 12.1 PPG, 6.0 RPG, and 1.8 AST, and shot 46.8% from the field last season.

Richard would be coming in also with three years of eligibility which same like Alex Fudge is another huge drawing point to what could make this a slam dunk pick-up for Georgia Tech next season. In his final game at Belmont against Vanderbilt in the NIT he scored 22 points for the Bruins, showing that he can still perform at a great level against the bigger competition.

Lastly, Richard is a Georgia native, which could give Pastner a huge recruiting edge compared to the other schools that have been rumored to have offered him.
