The Georgia Bulldogs have added another transfer, Jabri Abdur-Rahim, who played sparingly for the Virginia Cavaliers last season. Abdur-Rahim is a former four-star shooting forward recruit, who is 6 feet, 7 inches.
Tom Crean and Georgia have added multiple transfers to fill holes left by the players who have transferred out of the Georgia program. The transfer portal is filled with players this offseason, so it is good that Georgia has replenished their roster to an extent.
Jabri Abdur-Rahim was ranked as the No. 38 recruit in the class of 2020. He played one season with the Cavaliers before entering the NCAA transfer portal. Abdur-Rahim will look for more playing time in Athens and is reuniting with his former AAU teammate Sahvir Wheeler.
At Virginia, Abdur-Rahim appeared in eight games, which were all blowouts. In Abdur-Rahim’s defense, Virginia’s Pack Line defensive scheme is tough to learn and its playing style is quite different from most basketball teams.
Abdur-Rahim played high school basketball at Blair Academy in Blairstown, New Jersey. He was rated the No. 6 shooting forward in the country and the No. 2 prospect from New Jersey. Abdur-Rahim will have multiple years of eligibility at the University of Georgia.
