Georgia’s returning players include Jabri Abdur- Rahim, Braelen Bridges, Jaxon Etter, Jailyn Ingram and Kario Oquendo. Oquendo is the SEC’s top returning scorer in league games after averaging 18.3 ppg against conference competition last season. Bridges became the first Bulldog in more than 40 years to lead the SEC in field goal percentage, and his 63.4 percent effort also ranks second all-time in Georgia history. The newcomers include fifth-year Mardrez McBride, senior Terry Roberts, juniors Frank Anselem, Justin Hill and Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe, sophomore Jusaun Holt and freshman KyeRon Lindsay. Five of the transfers – Anselem, Hill, Holt, McBride and Moncrieffe – played on teams that reached the NCAA Tournament in either 2021 or 2022. Roberts helped lead Florida SouthWestern to a No. 1 ranking in junior college during 2020. New orders for renewable Georgia Basketball season tickets are currently available. Season tickets include reserved seats for all of Georgia's non-conference games and the Bulldogs' nine home SEC dates. Season tickets cost $285 each, plus a $150 donation to the Men's Basketball Fund (MBF). The 2022 basketball version of “Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate” between Georgia and Georgia Tech will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 6 in Atlanta. The Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets will meet at McCamish Pavilion for the first time since 2018. Georgia has won each of the past two meetings in Atlanta. The Bulldogs earned a 60-43 win on Dec. 20, 2016 and secured a 70-59 on Dec. 22, 2018. The match-up in 2020 was canceled when a date for the game could not be found during the COVID-shortened campaign. That represented the first time since the 1923-24 season that the intrastate rivals did not meet on the hardwood. Georgia Tech won the most recent match-up last season in Athens, snapping a five-game winning streak for the Bulldogs. Georgia’s quintet of successive victories matched its second-longest stretch of success ever against the Yellow Jackets. The Bulldogs won seven straight meetings between 1908-21 and also captured five consecutive W’s between 1929-31 and 1939-41. This year’s contest will be Georgia’s first under head coach Mike White, who averaged more than 22 wins per year in combined 11 seasons as head coach at Louisiana Tech (2012-15) and Florida (2015-22) before coming to Athens in March. White led the Bulldogs and Gators to postseason competition during nine of 10 possible seasons, and Florida was a consensus pick to earn a bid to the 2020 NCAA Tournament before it was canceled.

He will also provide development support for current players, utilizing his two decades of NFL experience. “Drew brings two decades of scouting and player development at the highest level of this game, along with a dozen years of college coaching experience,” said Auburn Head Coach Brian Harsin. “The combination of his coaching track record as well as the player personnel and scouting background, makes Drew a great fit as we look at every angle of recruiting top talent and then continuing to develop our guys during their time here at Auburn. Drew knows what it takes to get to this level and then the next level in this game, and that’s a skill set which will help our players, coaches and next level recruiting process.” Fabianich joined the Cowboys in 2003 as a Southeast and Midwest scout until his promotion in 2005 as a national scout.

The opportunity to work with him and help build a championship roster here at Auburn is something I can’t wait to get going on.” Before joining the professional ranks, Fabianich spent 18 years coaching in the college and high school ranks. He began his coaching career in 1986 at his alma mater, Mesa State (Colo.) University, as a quarterbacks, wide receivers and passing game coordinator for two years before serving as a defensive graduate assistant at Baylor.
