Bobby Cremins has a court named after him in the heart of downtown Atlanta and it only makes sense that the former Georgia Tech head coach went back to his roots in the class of 2007. The new College of Charleston skipper landed Andrew Goudelock, one of the top shooters in Atlanta, on Saturday night.

The 6-foot-1 combo guard from Stone Mountain (Ga.) High School called Cremins over the weekend and pledged his services for the next four years.
"For starters, he's a legendary coach," Goudelock said on why he picked College of Charleston. "You can't say too much more than that. He's top of the line. They are going to do big things there. And it's in a good conference and I like the style that they play there. He gives his guards a lot of freedom and they do a lot of things."
During a visit to his future home, Goudelock said he heard Cremins use a phrase amongst his players when motivating them. That is when he knew on where he wanted to play, Goudelock said.
"I kept hearing him say, 'Just do your thing, just do your thing.' That was big," Goudelock said. "That is where I play the best."
Goudelock has been one of the most dynamic players in Georgia in the final weeks of the regular season. He scored 11 three-pointers in a game en route to 47 points in a big win two weeks ago. The next game, he poured in 39 points.
Charleston Southern, Fordham, Kennesaw State, East Carolina and SMU were also courting the senior, he said.
