LOOK: Georgia transfer Josh Taylor commits to East Tennessee State
Former Georgia forward Josh Taylor has committed to East Tennessee State, he announced via Instagram Friday night. Taylor averaged 1.1 points and 0.7 rebounds per game during his sophomore season with the Bulldogs.
The 6-foot-9 Atlanta native is a former three-star recruit out of Norcross High School in Georgia, and was rated as the No. 134 player in the Class of 2020, as well as the No. 26 power forward and No. 10 player in his home state.
Taylor has seen little production in two seasons under former Georgia head coach Tom Crean. He’s averaged just around three minutes per game throughout his entire career and looks to get a fresh start in Johnson City, Tennessee.
The Buccaneers are coming off a 15-17 (7-11, SoCON) record last season, and Taylor looks to provide an immediate impact to the team as a fresh face with two years of SEC experience under his belt.
Georgia adds fromer Syracuse big man from transfer portal
The Georgia Bulldogs men’s basketball program has landed some more top talent out of the transfer portal. Former Syracuse Orange center Frank Anselem has announced he’s leaving the Orange and is headed south to Georgia via Twitter.
Last season, Anselem played in 32 games for Syracuse, starting in six of them. Despite playing in nearly every game of the season, his playing time was limited, and so was his role within the team. Anselem finished last year averaging just 2.5 points, on 62.5 percent shooting from the field, and 2.8 rebounds per game.
Anselem is George’s 5th player acquired through the transfer portal this offseason. The Bulldogs picked up three guards in Justin Hill, Terry Roberts, and SEC rival Alabama Crimson tides, Jusaun Holt. Along with those three, Georgia added former Oklahoma State cowboy forward Matthew Alexander Moncrieffe.
