Standout helped lead Italy to 2025 U20 EuroBasket title
ATHENS, Ga. — Andrew Osasuyi, who helped Italy earn a Gold Medal at the 2025 FIBA U20 EuroBasket tournament, has signed to transfer from St. Bonaventure to Georgia to continue his college basketball career, head coach Mike White announced on Thursday.
Osasuyi is a 6-9, 211-pound rising sophomore center from Magenta, Italy, who led the Bonnies in field goal percentage and blocks as a freshman. He connected on 65.1 percent (54-of-83) of his shot from the field and also rejected 55 shots, an average of 1.4 bpg that ranked fourth in the Atlantic 10. Osasuyi also contributed 3.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 11.9 minutes of action per game. He recorded a pair of double-digit scoring outputs, with 10 points against Canisius and 12 at Fordham, and blocked eight shots against Saint Joseph's, the second-most in a game in St. Bonaventure history.
Last summer, Osasuyi averaged 7.6 points and team highs of 7.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game to help Italy win the FIBA U20 Eurobasket in Heraklion, Greece. He started all seven games and also led the Italians in field goal percentage, connecting on 61.0 percent (25-of-41) shots from the field. Among tournament statistical leaders, he ranked No. 4 in rebounds and No. 8 blocks. Osasuyi posted a double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds in a Round of 16 victory over Iceland. He had additional double-digit tallies of 12 points against Ukraine and 12 boards versus Belarus. He fell just short of a second double-double in the Gold Medal game, scoring nine points and grabbing nine boards in an 83-66 victory over Lithuania.
Osasuyi prepped at College Basket Borgomanero and also represented Academy Scafati Basket in the 2024-25 Italy NextGen Cup, averaging a double-double of 13.4 points and 10.3 rebounds as well as 3.0 blocks over seven games.
With the addition of Osasuyi, Georgia now has 11 players set for its 2026-27 roster.
The Bulldogs will welcome back six returnees, including 80 percent of their starting lineup in:
• Blue Cain, a 6-5, 195-pound rising senior guard from Knoxville, Tenn., who became Georgia's 49th 1,000-point scorer – but first since 2017 – in the regular-season finale and is currently the Bulldogs' career record holder for best free throw percentage (.846).
• Kanon Catchings, a 6-9, 220-pound rising junior forward from Brownsburg, Ind., who was the Bulldogs' second-leading scorer in SEC play at 13.7 points per game and was named SEC Player of the Week on March 9 after averaging 27.5 points in key late-season wins over No. 16 Alabama and Mississippi State to lock up an NCAA Tournament bid.
• Marcus "Smurf" Millender, a 5-11, 175-pound rising senior guard from Houston Texas, who led the Bulldogs in assists and became the ninth player in school history with 100 assists and 50 3-pointers in the same season.
• Kareem Stagg, a 6-8, 230-pound rising sophomore forward from Chesapeake, Va., who emerged as a starter and key contributor during Georgia's late-season surge to earn an NCAA bid by averaging 6.9 points per game over the final 10 contests of the season.
Georgia has signed five newcomers, Osasuyi and:
• Freddie Dilione V, a 6-5, 195-pound senior guard from Fayetteville, N.C., who was Penn State's leading scorer both overall and in Big Ten play last season while averaging 14.0 ppg in 32 outings and 14.1 ppg in league action.
• Brady Dunlap, a 6-7, 200-pound redshirt junior guard from Studio City, Calif., who led the Atlantic 10 Conference in 3-point shooting last season by connecting on 45.1 percent (51-of-113) attempts of his shots from beyond the arc.
• David Ugonna Ike, a 7-0, 235-pound freshman post player from Owerri, Nigeria, who prepped at the NBA Academy Africa in Senegal. Earlier this year, Ike averaged 24.3 points and 12.3 rebounds while helping NBA Academy Africa compile a 3-0 record at the Advance Global Cup.
• Kemauri "Kemo" Millender, a 6-0, 180-pound junior guard from Houston, Texas, who helped New Mexico Junior College advance to the Round of 16 of the 2026 NJCAA DI Tournament last season while averaging 9.5 points per game. Millender is the older brother of current Bulldog "Smurf" Millender.
The Bulldogs are coming off their winningest regular season ever, with Georgia earning 22 victories on the season. They also broke school records for total points (2,951) and scoring average (89.4 ppg). Those tallies helped Georgia record a third-straight 20-win season for just the third time ever and earn a second-consecutive NCAA Tournament bid for only the fourth time in program history.
