Once again, Syracuse has pulled a player out of the transfer portal, landing their starting point guard from conference rival Georgia Tech in Naithan George. The Toronto native had a pretty good trip to the JMA Wireless Dome this past season, posting 13 points, five assists, and five rebounds in a loss to the Orange on January 7. The 6’3” point guard was on a few leaderboards this season, ranking first in the ACC and 11th nationally in assists with 6.5 per game and second in the conference in minutes at 35.6 per game.
