Flirts with double-double Usher posted 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Friday's 83-73 loss against Mercer.

Impact Usher has flirted with a double-double in each of his first two appearances of the season, both as a starter -- he notched 15 points and nine rebounds during the season-opening defeat against Georgia State earlier this week. He has racked up 26 points, 17 rebounds and four assists in his first two appearances and should remain in the starting five for Sunday's tough matchup against Kentucky.

Returns to play Moore (ankle) tallied two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 14 minutes in Friday's 83-73 loss to Mercer.

Impact Moore sustained an ankle injury in Wednesday's season opener, but he returned to action against Mercer just two days later. Now that he's healthy again, he should resume his depth role for the Yellow Jackets.

Impact Parham was one of four Blue Jackets that scored in double digits in this one, though he might be headed for another season as a bench piece -- he has started just seven of 32 games he's appeared in since the start of the 2019-20 campaign. This performance could be a confidence booster for him, though, and he will aim to deliver another strong outing Friday against Mercer.

Monster game in loss Wright posted 31 points (8-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 14-22 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 53 minutes during Wednesday's 123-120 overtime loss against Georgia State.

Impact Wright was one of three starters that surpassed the 20-point mark for the Yellow Jackets, though that shouldn't be surprising considering the game required four overtime periods to find a winner. A senior who averaged 13.0 points as a starter in 2019-20, Wright came just two points shy of tying his career-high mark for points in this one and should be one of the team's top two-way threats during the 2020-21 season. His next chance to make an impact will come Friday against Mercer.

Posts double-double in loss Devoe registered 24 points (9-26 FG, 3-13 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and three assists across 57 minutes during Wednesday's 123-120 overtime loss against Georgia State.

Impact Devoe was one of three starters that surpassed the 20-point mark for the Yellow Jackets, though that shouldn't be surprising considering the game required four overtime periods to find a winner. The junior averaged 16.0 points as a starter last season but kicked off the new season with an improved effort and, while he might not repeat these numbers Friday against Mercer, his role as a reliable scoring threat for the Blue Jackers shouldn't be in doubt moving forward.

Explodes for 29 points Alvarado went for 29 points (8-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 10 rebounds, six steals and four assists across 58 minutes during Wednesday's 123-120 overtime loss against Georgia State.

Impact Alvarado was one of three starters that surpassed the 20-point mark for the Yellow Jackets, though that shouldn't be surprising considering the game required four overtime periods to find a winner. Alvarado wasn't efficient, however, as he only made 33 percent of his shots from the field and earned 11 of his points from the charity stripe. He will find a way to score -- as he averaged at least 12.0 points per game in each of his prior three seasons -- but he's quite unlikely to post these numbers Friday against Mercer.

Nets waiver from NCAA Howard has received a waiver from the NCAA to play immediately in the 2020-21 season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Howard played out his freshman campaign with Georgia but managed just 7.4 minutes per contest with the Bulldogs. He transferred within the state to rival Georgia Tech, where he could compete for a role with the club following the graduation of James Banks. At the very least, the majority of the remaining frontcourt contributors are entering their senior seasons, which should open a path to major playing time in 2021-22 if he can't crack the rotation consistently this year.

Gets waiver from NCAA Howard was granted a waiver by the NCAA on Wednesday, making him eligible to play immediately at Georgia Tech, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Howard left the Georgia program in March, shortly after wrapping up his freshman season with the Bulldogs. He appeared in 24 games (two starts), averaging just 1.3 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.4 minutes per contest. After Howard committed to Georgia Tech earlier in the offseason, the NCAA apparently looked favorably on his case for a waiver. He'll now be able to compete for a role right away in the frontcourt after the Yellow Jackets lost starter James Banks to graduation.
