AJ Henderson / Georgia Southern

STATESBORO – Year one was a whirlwind for Georgia Southern men’s basketball coach Brian Burg, his staff and the student-athletes on his team.

Hired in early April, at the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Burg’s To-Do List following the press conference wound up looking something like this:
- Move halfway across the country.
- Hire a staff.
- Fill nine roster spots, which was tied for the fourth-most in the country, without the ability to travel or bring recruits on campus.
- Put together a schedule.
- Rip up said schedule and put together another one.
