Wofford transfer guard Justin Bailey commits to Georgia

Wofford transfer guard Justin Bailey is taking his talents to Athens. He’s committing to join the Georgia Bulldogs for the 2025-26 season, On3’s Pete Nakos has learned.

Bailey flashed throughout his time with the Terriers this past season. The guard averaged 9.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists during the 2024-25 campaign.

Prior to his lone season with Wofford, Bailey played for the South Carolina Upstate Spartans. This is the second time he’s transferring, but the competition will certainly be a bit more stout in the SEC. We’ll see if he can handle it when he joins Georgia.

Bailey did not have a star rating, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. The On3 Industry Ranking is the industry’s most advanced, complete and unbiased measurement

Moreover, Justin Bailey is joining Georgia at the same time as former Cal point guard Jeremiah Wilkinson. The latter is going home after committing to transfer to Georgia earlier this offseason. He’s a former three-star prospect out of The Skill Factory in Atlanta (Ga.).

Wilkinson was named the ACC Sixth Man of the Year after averaging 15.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists while playing an average of 27.3 minutes per game in 2024-25, establishing himself as one of the conference’s most dynamic freshmen last season.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Wilkinson was an impact freshman in Berkley, etching his name into the program record book, ranking fourth among Cal freshmen with 484 total points, tied for third with 15.1 points per game and 60 made 3-pointers, and fifth with 110 free throws made in 2024-25. Wilkinson’s 60 made 3-pointers last season also led all Cal players.

Wilkinson scored a season-high 36 points on 11-of-18 shooting and 5-of-8 from 3-point range in a quadruple-overtime loss at Notre Dame on March 8, marking the seventh-most points scored by a freshman in ACC history. The sharpshooting freshman als added 30 points in an overtime win over Miami on Jan. 25, making his just the second-ever Cal freshman with multiple 30-point games in a season.

After beginning the season on the bench, Wilkinson started the Golden Bears’ final 14 games, averaging 19.5 points per game during that span, and also accounted as a double-digit scorer in 18 of Cal’s 20 ACC regular-season games last season. Wilkinson had previously committed to Mississippi State in January 2023 before reversing course and committed to Cal in August 2023.
