One of Mike White’s first big recruiting wins at Georgia comes from the transfer portal. Kario Oquendo, UGA’s leading scorer in 2021-22, has decided to stick with the Bulldogs. College basketball insider Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports shared the news.

While Georgia struggled last season, Oquendo had an impressive 2021-22 campaign as UGA’s top-scorer with 15.2 points per game.

Other highlights from his Georgia bio:

• Started all 31 games he played, missing only the game at Auburn as a late scratch due to a slight lower body injury sustained in the previous contest against Vanderbilt.
• Led the Bulldogs offensively in a team-high 13 contests, and also paced Georgia on the boards six times, in steals in 15 outings and in blocks in 12 games.
• Of his 22 double-digit scoring outputs, 15 came in SEC play.
• Recorded 10 20-point performances, including eight against SEC opposition. In those contests, shot 50.9 percent (83-of-163) from the field and 81.8 percent (54-of-66) from the line.
• Scored 33 points against Texas A&M, equaling the highest single-game tally by any SEC player during the 2021-22 campaign.

Oquendo indicated last week that a return to the Dawgs was one of the 5 options he was considering.
