Hagans announced his de-commitment from Georgia on Monday with Georgia coach Mark Fox on the hot set seat.”
“He’s not all the way backing (out),” Hagans’ father Marvin Hagans told Rivals. “We just need to figure out what’s going on. Georgia is still at the top. We just don’t want to go into a situation that we didn’t sign up for.”
Hagans may reclassify to 2018 from 2019.
“Everyone would take him right now,” Williams told ZAGSBLOG.
