Mike White picked up a pretty good one out of the portal. 45% from 3 point land last year, and we know how we like to shoot (and miss) the three pointer a good bit. Live by the sword, die by the portal.
From On3 Sports:
Dunlap will arrive in Athens by the way of Saint Louis. He was a key contributor for the Billikins last year, playing in 34 games. However, the role Dunlap developed did come off the bench, as there were only two starts. Still, Dunlapās 17 minutes per game were the most of his career.
Production then followed as a result of the opportunity. Dunlap averaged 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and just under an assist. Shooting numbers are likely what drew Georgia to sign Dunlap out of the portal. On over three shots from deep a game, Dunlap made them at a 45.1% clip.
Not a bad pickup, here’s hoping he can be a contributor to what should be a pretty well-stocked 1-3 position group in 2027.
Now we just need a little more length at the 5, but I can appreciate Stagg’s versatility as a big guy who can play inside and also step out and make a bucket.
On other news, speaking of big men:
The Georgia Bulldogs basketball team had a late entry into the NCAA transfer portal. Forward Justin Abson, who is out of eligibility, entered the portal and is hoping a court ruling or rule change could give him an extra year of eligibility for the 2026-27 college basketball season.
Abson helped Georgia make back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances during the final two years of his college career. The 6-foot-9, 250-pound forward provides an intimidating presence in the paint. He posted 2.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game during the 2025-26 season. Abson played an average of 11.4 minutes per game and appeared in 31 contests including one start. The talented big man posted an impressive amount of blocks for his limited playing time.
Abson helped Georgia stand as one of the nation’s leading team in blocks, coming in 2nd on the team with 50 second only to Cyril’s 74.
So White was playing 4-D chess when he let Brady and St. Louis scorch us in the tourney? Brilliant!
This team is really shaping up to get off to a 10-2 start then tank in the SEC.
I hate that attitude, but sadly I’m adopting it as my own now. I don’t care how they start. I want to see them finish strong with good SEC and NCAA tourney runs.
