Gaines and Mann are only the third classmates among Georgia’s top-20 career scoring leaders, joining James Banks and Vern Fleming (1981-84) and Shandon Anderson and Carlos Strong (1993-96). Mann is currently No. 15 on Georgia’s career scoring ledger with 1,375 points, while Gaines is No. 19 with 1,301.
