One day after the Fourth of July Day weekend, Georgia hoops makes a splash in the headlines once again, this time it's about Sophomore phenom Nasir Anderson making an announcement via Twitter to transfer to Prolific Prep, per Samad Hines.

Anderson now becomes the second Georgia native to join the Fort Lauderdale, FL squad, joining Caleb Holt, who committed to the program in early June. In addition to the Georgia transfers, four-star Ohio State commit, Alex Smith, added to the transfer news Monday, becoming the fourth prospect the prep school has added since the off-season.

But what does this mean for Georgia Tech?

A potential Nasir Anderson and Caleb Holt combo package.

However, it all comes down to how Coach Stoudamire wants to handle the situation. Holt, a senior, is still looking for a college home, and Anderson, a rising junior, is still early in his recruitment. If the Yellow Jackets can land the No. 5-ranked guard, not only would it be the first top 5 recruit of the Coach Stoudamire era, but it would also open the door for Anderson and other top prospects to play in Atlanta.

Ultimately, the recruiting war comes down to producing Ws on the hardwood, and the Jackets on paper are making a viable case to have a breakthrough year. Bringing in the 27th-ranked recruiting class, paired with an exceptional transfer class that holds intriguing players, Kam Craft and Peyton Marshall, the Jackets will be a nice mix of young talent and veteran experience.

Here is the scouting report on Holt courtesy of 247Sports Adam Finkelstein:

"Holt is physically imposing on the perimeter because he’s strong and athletic with a consistently high motor. He’s competitive, plays hard, and imposes his will on both ends of the floor. He also has solid perimeter size and length at 6-foot-5 with a 6-foot-9 wingspan. He’s a downhill attacker who plays through contact and has decisive burst on his way to the rim and finishing at the cup. He came up the ranks as a natural wing, but is working to evolve into more of a true guard, and getting the opportunity to play with the ball in his hands and initiate offense pretty regularly at Grayson. You can see he clearly tries to make all the right plays with the ball, but is still working on some offensive nuances. His three-point shooting is inconsistent, with a notably wide base, but he’s got some definite mid-range weapons in addition to his ability to pressure the rim. Defensively, he can be a true standout, utilizing his physical tools to make plays, guard multiple positions, and then rising up for rebounds."
