12. Georgia
Biggest losses: Noah Thomasson (13.1 ppg.); Jabri Abdur-Rahim (12.2 ppg.); RJ Melendez (9.6 ppg.); Justin Hill (9.5 ppg.); Russel Tchewa (7.4 ppg.)
Returning rotation players (3): Silas Demary Jr. (9.7 ppg., 3.8 rpg.); Blue Cain (7.4 ppg.); Dylan James(4.0 ppg.)
Top-100 freshmen added (2): No. 14 Asa Newell, No. 43 Somto Cyril
Top-100 transfers added (1): No. 85 RJ Godfrey (Clemson)
Why they’re ranked here: The Bulldogs lost four of their top five scorers from a 20-win team that was a very tough out in the league last season. But the Bulldogs did return two major pieces in Demary and Cain, while adding a five-star freshman (Newell), a rim-protecting former Kentucky commit (Cyril) and top reserve for Clemson’s Elite Eight team (Godfrey). Also incoming: Tyrin Lawrence, an 80-game starter at Vanderbilt, Mount St. Mary’s stars Dakota Leffew and De’Shayne Montgomery, who combined for 30.8 points per game last season, and Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year Justin Abson. “Tough out” feels like it’ll fit again.
