Georgia Basketball: Tyron McMillian set to transfer
It’s been a tough start to the month of April for Georgia Basketball, as Dawg players have been hitting the transfer portal with rapidity.
Thursday brought more of the same, as On3 national recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw reported that junior forward Tyrone McMillan will be the latest to test the waters elsewhere.
McMillan, a 6-foot-9 junior originally from New Orleans, Louisiana’s Benjamin Davis High School transferred into Athens in 2020 from Kilgore, Texas’ Kilgore College.
In 21 game appearances this previous season, McMillan averaged just 1.7 points per game, along with averaging 1.3 rebounds in an average of 7.6 minutes on the court.
He becomes the seventh Bulldog basketball player to enter the portal this week.
Other losses for Georgia basketball this week
Dalen Ridgnal entered the transfer portal last week. Then, Camron McDowell and Tyrone Baker did so within minutes of each other yesterday. Christian Wright, who started 11 contests for Tom Crean’s team, put his name in on Tuesday evening. Leading scorer Kario Oquendo announced his intentions to hit the portal on Wednesday, and he was soon followed by forward Josh Taylor.

Georgia basketball has also benefitted from the portal early in the Mike White era
Georgia hasn’t gone without good news as it relates to the transfer portal though. The Bulldogs did land Longwood transfer Justin Hill, who averaged 14.0 points per game for the Lancers on their way to the NCAA Tournament.
As it stands right now, the Bulldogs expect just four scholarship players (Jailyn Ingram, Jabri Abdur-Rahim, Noah Baumann and Braelen Bridges) plus walk-on Jaxon Etter to return from the 2021-22 roster that went 6-26 under the direction of Tom Crean. It’s all a part of the reality of rebuilding the program under new head coach Mike White who now has an opportunity to get players of his choosing into the program via the transfer portal himself.
