UGA basketball’s Noah Baumann enters transfer portal

Georgia Bulldogs basketball guard Noah Baumann has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Baumann transferred to Georgia from USC. He has NCAA Tournament experience and good 3-point shooting.

Baumann, a senior guard, is one of 10 Georgia basketball players in the transfer portal. Baumann averaged 8.1 points per game, 3.5 rebounds per game, and 22.0 minutes per game for Georgia in 2021-2022. The Dawgs struggled and only one a single SEC game last year.

Noah Baumann played in 31 games in 2020-2021 for USC, but he only played an average of 11 minutes per game. Baumann previously 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.

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

Jailyn Ingram, Jabri Abdur-Rahim, and Braelen Bridges are Georgia’s three remaining scholarship players from last season on the roster. Mike White and Georgia additionally added Longwood guard Justin Hill to give the Georgia Bulldogs some much needed experience and talent for the 2022 season. Georgia will have to add more transfers in order to be competitive next year.

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.
