This time, the Bulldogs added 6-foot-7 forward, Jabri Abdur-Rahim, formerly of Virginia. Abdur-Rahim announced his commitment to Georgia on Monday.
During his brief time with the Cavs, Abdur-Rahim appeared in eight games. He is the son of former NBA player and current president of the NBA G League, Shareef Abdur-Rahim.
