Overview

  • Wilkinson, whose agency told On3 on Monday he plans to transfer, led Georgia this season with 17.4 points per game.
  • The NCAA men's basketball portal opens April 7 and closes April 21 under a new 15-day window, and players do not have to choose a new school by the closing date.
  • He has two years of eligibility left after one season at Georgia and a freshman year at Cal, where he earned ACC Sixth Man of the Year with 15.1 points per game.
  • The sophomore shot 41% from the field and 35.7% from three with three 30-point games and ten 20-point games, including a 30-point NCAA first-round outing against Saint Louis.
  • Georgia loses its top isolation scorer, a role coach Mike White highlighted for his speed and confidence, which makes Wilkinson a likely priority for programs seeking backcourt offense.
