The Georgia Bulldogs have signed on seven newcomers to the team for the 2022-23 season, according to an announcement by Head Coach Mike White on May 30.

According to the University of Georgia website, White expressed excitement for the new teammates to join and talked about what is to come during the upcoming season.

"We're very excited about this group of signees," White said, according to the University of Georgia website. "These young men represent different positions and skill sets individually. Collectively, they represent versatility and an excitement to be at Georgia. All of these young men have been a part of winning at least one spot along their journey."

The group includes a fifth-year player, Mardrez McBride from North Texas; senior Terry Roberts from Bradley; juniors Frank Anselem from Syracuse, Justin Hill from Longwood and Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe from Oklahoma State; sophomore Jusaun Holt from Alabama; and freshman KyeRon Lindsay from Denton, Texas.

Of the transfers, Anselem, Hill, Holt, McBride and Moncrieffe played on teams that reached the NCAA Tournament in either 2021 or 2022, and Roberts helped lead Florida SouthWestern to a No. 1 ranking in junior college during 2020.

This comes as White was named Georgia's head coach in March after averaging more than 22 wins per year in combined 11 seasons as head coach at Louisiana Tech (2012-15) and the University of Florida (2015-22).
