Georgia Basketball sees pair of players enter transfer portal after first year with team
According to On3 Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Georgia Basketball has had two more players enter the transfer portal. Freshman guard Cam McDowell and freshman forward Tyrone Baker both entered the portal on Tuesday.
McDowell, who was a freshman for the Bulldogs last season, played in seven games, averaging 1.0 points, 1.0 assists and 0.4 rebounds in 6.5 minutes of action per game. He registered first-half minutes in five of the seven games he played, appearing against Gardner Webb, Arkansas, South Carolina, LSU, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt in the SEC Tournament. The McEachern High School product from Powder Springs, Ga. never scored more than two points, doing so three times, and had a total of three rebounds on the year, but did play double-digit minutes twice against both Gardner Webb and Ole Miss.
Meanwhile, Baker appeared in just three games against Florida International, South Carolina State and Gardner Webb, averaging 0.7 and 0.7 rebounds in 3.3 minutes per game. Baker was the first Bulldog off the bench in the season-opener. He recorded his first points as a Bulldog against Gardner Webb, however, the 6-foot-11 Fort Meyers, Fla. native and Hightower (Texas) product suffered a broken right hand during practice on January 18th, the day before Georgia’s outing at Auburn, and did not dress out for the remainder of the season.
McDowell and Baker are the second and third Bulldogs respectively to enter the transfer portal, following in the footsteps of Dalen Ridgnal. Kario Oquendo was rumored to be planning on entering the transfer portal but has not done so at this time.
Georgia also landed a player from the transfer portal with the addition of Longwood transfer Justin Hill last week. Hill averaged 14.0 points per game for the Lancers on their way to making the NCAA Tournament. As it stands right now, the Bulldogs expect eight scholarship players (Jailyn Ingram, Jabri Abdur-Rahim, Oquendo, Tyron McMillan, Christian Wright, Josh Taylor, Noah Baumann and Braelen Bridges) plus walk-on Jaxon Etter to return from the 2021-22 roster.
