Georgia basketball: Kario Oquendo to return to Athens per report
Mike White and the Georgia basketball team finally get some good news as Georgia 2021-2022 leading scorer Kario Oquendo has pulled his name out of the transfer portal and is expected to come back to the Bulldogs.
ProInsight director of scouting Andrew Slater was the first to report the news via Twitter on Wednesday evening.
Oquendo led the Bulldogs last year in points, while also finishing second in steals, third in rebounds, and fourth in field goal percentage.
The 6’4, 210-pound shooting guard from Titusville, Florida will return to Athens expecting to lead the team again, having started in 31 contests during the 2021-22 season.
Georgia basketball transfers the story thus far
Noah Baumann’s transfer last Monday marked the tenth Bulldog this offseason to transfer away from the program. Since then, Jailyn Ingram and Oquendo, two important pieces of Georgia’s success early with last year’s team, have announced that they will both return to the roster for the Bulldogs’ 2022-2023 season. Although Ingram was a sixth-year senior last year, he tore his ACL nine games into the season and will use a medical redshirt in order to play one more year of college basketball.
