Wisconsin reaches out to ACC transfer big man

Wisconsin reaches out to ACC transfer big man

The Badgers still have room for another big as they enter the basketball offseason. Wisconsin was recently in touch with Georgia Tech transfer Rodney Howard.

The Portal Report on Twitter reported the Badgers were among a long list of schools that includes Ole Miss, BYU, Penn State and UT Martin.

Howard began his career at Georgia as a freshman before playing the last three seasons at Georgia Tech. This past season, he averaged 4.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per contest.

Howard recently visited Oregon State. The Badgers are certainly in need of another big, and the 6-foot-11 graduate transfer could end up being that fit.

Georgia basketball freshman transfers to Tech

Georgia Bulldogs freshman basketball player Rodney Howard is electing to transfer to rival Georgia Tech. Howard, a center, will provide the Yellow Jackets with some size on the interior. He’s anticipated to have to sit out for one season. Howard played in 24 games as a freshman.

Under head basketball coach Tom Crean, Howard averaged 7.3 minutes per game. He averaged 1.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.3 fouls in his limited playing time. He was a potential building block for the future and a nice piece of UGA’s great 2019 basketball recruiting class.

Howard announced his plans to transfer to Georgia Tech via Twitter:

How initially considered attending Georgia Tech when he made his decision to commit to the University of Georgia. Georgia Tech went 17-14 during the 2019-2020 season, where they were ineligible for post-season play. The Yellow Jackets finished fifth in the ACC, but they fell to Anthony Edwards and the Georgia Bulldogs in non-conference play.

Howard played at Legacy Charter High School in Greenville, South Carolina. He was a three-star center prospect in the class of 2019.
