The 3 Georgia basketball transfers in March Madness

Former Georgia Bulldogs basketball star guard Silas Demary headlines the three Georgia basketball transfers that have made the NCAA Tournament. Demary and the No. 2 seed UConn Huskies open the NCAA Tournament against No. 15 seed Furman.

ESPN ranks Demary as the No. 33 player in March Madness. Demary’s transfer departure certainly hurt Georgia basketball, but the Bulldogs still managed to make the NCAA Tournament for a second consecutive year under head coach Mark White. Georgia reloaded via the portal and will open the tournament against Saint Louis.

ESPN highlights Demary’s ability as a distributor (tied for No. 22 in the country in assists per game) and defender as reasons why the Huskies can make a Final Four run. The junior guard is averaging career-best shooting efficiencies and has the highest assist to turnover ratio in his career.

Demary was one of the nation’s top ranked transfers and has adapted well at UConn. He along with Georgia transfer RJ Godfrey, who transferred to the Clemson Tigers, are the two Georgia transfers with significant roles for their new teams in the NCAA Tournament.

Godfrey, a senior, is No. 8 seed Clemson’s leading scorer and will hope to lead the Tigers to a March Madness win over No. 9 seed Iowa. Godfrey’s production is up to mostly career-best numbers. He is much more productive than his 2024-2025 season at Georgia.

The third Georgia transfer in March Madness is Miami guard Jordyn Kee, who is not expected to play in the NCAA Tournament. Kee has appeared in just eight games for Miami this season. Kee and No. 7 seed Miami will face No. 10 Missouri in the first round of March Madness.
