Georgia guard becomes 8th Bulldog to enter the transfer portal this offseason
The Georgia Bulldogs have lost a lot of talent to the NCAA transfer portal this offseason, including PG Sahvir Wheeler and F Toumani Camara.
On Tuesday, yet another player from last year’s squad entered the portal. This latest departure from the Bulldogs is G Andrew Garcia:

Garcia was a transfer from Stony Brook last offseason. He appeared in every game off the bench for Tom Crean’s squad.
The exodus from Athens continues this offseason. Per Georgia insider Marc Weiszer, 8 players from last year’s team have now entered the portal:

Garcia appeared in all 26 games last season, averaging 8.7 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest. Where he ends up for his final year of eligibility remains to be seen.
KD Johnson just hit the portal too
Headed to Aubie. Wheeler to KY. It sucks, but it’s a sign of today, and the portal. Best of luck to them-except against us!
Seems like a good sign of a health program
I don’t know the specifics of the Georgia program, but this will be an ever-increasing trend for college basketball in general. The career path from college to NBA doesn’t really require tons of refinement or loyalty before hitting the league. The NBA should honestly just develop a true minor league that pipelines into the NBA
I believe you are absolutely correct
The specifics are this: Crean sucks out loud
*healthy
I hope Crean enjoys his last year in Athens. He is so awful that Mark Fox looks good. Fire his a$$.
