He hasn’t been on campus a lot recently but he addressed that back in January. Cantwell has seen Georgia and the coaching staff in Athens more than almost any other school.
“I’ve talked to him a lot, I’ve seen him almost like 10 times in person now,” Cantwell said. “For me, Georgia is the place that I’ve taken the most visits to, they’re tied with Missouri. The amount of times that we’ve talked and the things that we’ve talked about has been good. I’ve enjoyed getting to talk ball there and kind of what they do and how they develop.”
