Former Georgia Bulldog Noah Baumann names transfer destination

Georgia Bulldogs basketball guard Noah Baumann is transferring to Grand Canyon Antelopes

Georgia Bulldogs basketball guard Noah Baumann is transferring to Grand Canyon Antelopes. Baumann entered the NCAA transfer portal shortly after Georgia’s 2021-2022 season. Grand Canyon will be the fourth school of Baumann’s NCAA basketball career.

Noah Baumann transferred to Georgia from USC ahead of the 2021 season. He has NCAA Tournament experience and is a good long-distance shooter.

Baumann, a senior guard, is one of numerous Georgia basketball players in the transfer portal. Baumann averaged 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 22 minutes per game for Georgia in 2021-2022. The Dawgs struggled and finished last place in the SEC.

Baumann played in 31 games in 2020-2021 for USC, but he only played an average of 11 minutes per game.  Baumann played with San Jose State from 2017-2019 before coming to USC.

During his final season with San Jose State, Baumann scored 10.8 points per game and shot an impressive 45.5% from 3-point territory. At 6-foot-6, Baumann has good size and will be a key addition for Grand Canyon, which finished 4th in the WAC last season.

Baumann signed with San Jose State as a two-star recruit from Desert Vista High School in Phoenix, Arizona.

Jailyn Ingram, Jabri Abdur-Rahim, Kario Oquendo, and Braelen Bridges are Georgia’s remaining scholarship players from last season on the roster. Head coach Mike White and Georgia added Longwood guard Justin Hill via the transfer portal to give the Georgia Bulldogs some much needed experience and talent for the 2022 season.

Georgia head coach Mike White faces the challenge of replacing almost his entire roster. He has playing time to offer to transfers and recruits, but it is challenging to replace 10 players in one offseason.

5-star PF Michael Foster makes commitment

Georgia and FSU were in the top 3 schools for 5-star power forward Michael Foster. Instead, Foster committed to playing in the NBA G League

The Georgia Bulldogs were in the top three schools for five-star power forward Michael Foster. However, Foster committed to playing in the NBA G League as expected. Foster is a member of the class of 2021 and is 6 feet, 9 inches tall. The Hillcrest Prep (Phoenix, Arizona) star weighs 220 pounds.

Foster is a good at rebounding, is a viable rim protector, and shows touch when finishing inside the paint. The five-star power forward is a good passer and capable shooter as well.

In addition to Georgia, Foster was considering the Florida State Seminoles.

Foster is ranked No. 14 in his recruit class and No. 5 among power forwards. He was one of the top remaining uncommitted prospects in the nation.

Head coach Tom Crean and the Georgia Bulldogs have the 67th-ranked class of 2021, so Georgia needs to add more talented recruits. The Dawgs have lost several key players to the NCAA transfer portal. Fortunately, Georgia has added some transfers.

On the other hand, Florida State has the No. 5 recruiting class in college basketball.

Foster will be fun to watch in the NBA G League, but far more fans watch college basketball. Casual fans will not think of NBA G League stars until NBA draft rolls around. Take a look at some of Michael Foster’s highlights here:

Georgia basketball’s Toumani Camara enters transfer portal

Georgia Bulldogs basketball star Toumani Camara is the latest Dawg to enter into the NCAA transfer portal

Georgia Bulldogs basketball star Toumani Camara is the latest Dawg to enter into the NCAA transfer portal. Coach Tom Crean and the Georgia Bulldogs are reeling following another disappointing season.

Toumani Camara was arguably Georgia’s best player throughout the 2020-2021 basketball season. Camara scored 12.8 points per game and secured an average of 7.7 rebounds per game.

Camara, who is from Brussels, Belgium, helped Georgia go 14-12 last season. The Dawgs finished 7-11 in SEC conference action.

Georgia’s basketball program faces a critical season next year. Tom Crean’s seat is heating up and the Dawgs have a weak recruiting class that is rated No. 69 in the country.

Right now, things are not looking great for the basketball program. If several players transfer, then the Bulldogs may have to rebuild yet again.

The 6-8 sophomore forward’s pending transfer is a tough blow for a Georgia program that is struggling. The Bulldogs have not made the NCAA Tournament since the 2015 season.
