Jaxon Etter enters transfer portal becoming eighth Bulldog to do so
Yet another Georgia Basketball player has entered the transfer portal. This time it’s walk-on Jaxon Etter, who started 22 contested including all 18 SEC outings and played in 31 of 32 games, missing only the Gardner-Webb game with back spasms. Etter averaged 5.1 points and 2.9 rebounds in 25.3 minutes per game. In Georgia wins, he upped his contribution to 7.0 points per game, shooting an efficient 53.8 percent from the field. Etter is the eighth Bulldog to enter the transfer portal so far this offseaosn.
Dalen Ridgnal entered the transfer portal last week. Then, Camron McDowell and Tyrone Baker did so within minutes of each other on Tuesday. Later that day, Christian Wright, who started 11 contests for Tom Crean’s team, put his name in. Leading scorer Kario Oquendo announced his intentions to hit the portal on Wednesday, and he was soon followed by forward Josh Taylor. And earlier today, Tyron McMillan was announced as having entered the transfer portal.
As it stands, the Bulldogs have four players expected to return from the 2021-22 team that went 6-26. Jailyn Ingram was a sixth-year senior last year, not burning a year of eligibility in 2020-21 due to COVID and having redshirted once before. He got hurt nine games in and was expected to get a medical redshirt if he chooses to pursue that. The same could be said about PJ Horne, however at season’s end, those within the program were not expecting him to pursue. Then there are rising super-seniors Noah Baumann and Braelen Bridges, neither of whom went through Senior Day ceremonies. Finally, Jabri Abdur-Rahim wrapped up his second season of College Basketball at Georgia after transferring to Athens from Virginia. Abdur-Rahim was one of three Bulldogs to play in all 32 outings, and he’s expected back for his junior season in 2022-23.

Georgia has also added a player from the transfer portal themselves. Longwood transfer Justin Hill announced his commitment to Georgia after averaging 14.0 points per game for the Lancers on their way to the NCAA Tournament. Hill was the first addition, from either the high school or collegiate ranks, in the Mike White era.
