Georgia guard Blue Cain has decided to return to Athens for the 2026-27 season.
The program officially announced that news on Thursday evening. Cain had not previously decided if he was going to enter the transfer portal or come back to play under Mike White for another season at UGA.
In a press release, Georgia confirms that Cain has officially signed with the Bulldogs for next season. With this announcement, Georgia has now secured one of its top offensive options for another season.

In 2025-26, Cain averaged a career-high 13 points and 5 rebounds per contest. He struggled from the 3-point line, shooting just 30% from downtown this season, but has shot higher percentages in prior years. Georgia will be hoping Cain can improve on that 30% number during his senior campaign.
Cain’s return means Georgia is now expected to bring back at least 4 players from its 2025-26 roster, which resulted in an NCAA Tournament appearance. The Bulldogs are also set to return Marcus Millender, Kareem Stagg and Kanon Catchings.
One key player the Bulldogs will have to replace is guard Jeremiah Wilkinson, who entered the transfer portal earlier this week.
Georgia has made the NCAA Tournament in both of Cain’s full seasons as a starter. It’s the first time UGA has made the Big Dance in back-to-back seasons since 2001-02.
