A reminder: Bear Alexander is the top-ranked transfer portal prospect

Before he announces his choice, Bear Alexander is worth spotlighting for a simple reason: He’s the top-ranked portal entrant.

Bear Alexander will announce his transfer destination Sunday night. Before that decision arrives (or even if you’re reading this after his choice), let’s make one thing clear: Alexander is not a modest talent or a peripheral, secondary piece. He is, according to On3 Sports and other evaluators, the top-ranked prospect in the spring transfer portal window.

Let’s remind you what our partners at UGA Wire wrote when the news of Alexander’s transfer hit the headlines earlier this month:

“If Alexander transfers, it will be a tough loss for Georgia’s defensive line. The Bulldogs were counting on Alexander having a much larger role in 2023.

“Alexander instantly becomes one of the most talented players in the NCAA transfer portal.”

Bear Alexander did not fall out of favor in Athens. Georgia’s coaching staff liked him and was hoping he would be part of a run at a third straight national championship. This is not a case of an ultra-successful program discarding a peripheral piece who has failed to live up to expectations. No, this is a sophomore whose stock is rising and who is expected to be a prime player in 2023.

Now comes his Sunday decision. We’ll be here covering it.
