Tom Crean has a message for UGA students returning to campus

With classes now just two days away, head men’s basketball coach Tom Crean had an important message for new and returning UGA students this Monday morning.

Crean emphasized the importance in interacting with all UGA faculty and staff, and how each member of the community contributes to the University’s high level 24/7 operation.

Crean also harped on safety around campus and making sure to look both ways before crossing the street.

From the looks of it, Crean is fired up for his second season as the Dawgs head coach and wants this to be the year Georgia basketball competes at the highest level.  With Anthony Edwards, a top-5 recruit coming in this season, it could be time for UGA basketball to make a tournament splash.

As @universityofga students get acclimated this week, PLEASE make sure you are treating the people that make this University the high level 24/7 operation it is -the WORK FORCE. The grounds crew, the maintenance people, the food service people etc. Say hello and thank you.

Welcome back @universityofga students to Athens. Trust me. Look both ways before crossing the streets. Drivers come to a COMPLETE stop and don’t shortcut your turns. Let’s ALL work together on this PLEASE! We need ALL of you in the STEG this season safe and sound. #GoDawgs
