Haith, headed into his sixth season, talked with the media at the ACC's Operation Basketball media event on Sunday. He said his team finally has perimeter players who can attack the basket.

Georgia struck out with Mizzou's Mike Anderson and Oklahoma's Jeff Capel and is moving on to Plans C and D, although it's unclear in what order Purnell and Haith are in.
