Georgia transfer Sahvir Wheeler hearing from UK, wants to play on “bigger stage” and compete for title

It’s not often the case that a second-team All-SEC member who led the conference in both assists (7.4 APG) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.68) becomes available during the offseason, but that’s exactly what came to fruition when Georgia star point guard Sahvir Wheeler put his name in the transfer portal last week.

And after sifting through the endless supply of phone calls and text messages he’s received since exploring his options, ten schools have separated themselves from the pack: Gonzaga, Kansas, Kentucky, LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Stanford, Texas and Wichita State.

It’s not necessarily a list cut, but those are the schools he’s focused on as he looks to take the next step in the process, the 5-foot-10 guard tells KSR.
