A 10's top 3-point shooter to join Georgia squad
ATHENS, Ga. — Brady Dunlap, who was the top 3-point shooter in the Atlantic 10 Conference last season while helping St. Louis reach the Round of 64 of the NCAA Tournament, has signed to play for the Georgia Bulldogs during the 2026-27 season, head coach Mike White announced on Tuesday.
Dunlap, a 6-7, 200-pound, rising redshirt junior forward from Studio City, Calif., played two seasons, including a redshirt campaign, at St. John's before being a Billiken during the 2025-26 season. He has played in 69 games during his collegiate career and compiled 376 points (5.4 ppg) and 129 rebounds (1.9 rpg) while averaging 15.2 minutes per contest.
As a redshirt sophomore at St. Louis, Dunlap played in 34 games, with a pair of starts, and led the A 10 in 3-point percentage at .451, knocking down 51-of-113 attempts from beyond the arc. He averaged 7.0 points and 1.6 boards per game in 17.0 minutes of action per outing. Dunlap notched 10 double-figure scoring outputs, including a career-high 22 points at Davidson.
Dunlap played in 25 games and started four contests as a freshman at St. John's during the 2023-24 season and contributed 3.2 points and 1.5 rebounds per game. He upped those efforts to 5.7 points and 2.2 boards per contest in 10 appearances during the early portion of the 2024-25 campaign before missing the remainder of that season due to an injury.
Interestingly, Dunlap has played against Georgia twice in his career. He logged 13 minutes for St. John's in the Bulldogs' 66-63 upset of the No. 22-ranked Johnnies in a matchup at Atlantis in the Bahamas in November 2024. Dunlap also scored 11 points and dished out a career-high four assists in 16 minutes of PT against Georgia in the opening round of the 2026 NCAA Tournament.
Dunlap was a two-time first-team All-CIF (California Interscholastic Federation) performer at Harvard-Westlake High School and rated as one of the nation's top-100 recruits in the Class of 2023 by both ESPN.com (No. 90) and rivals.com (No. 100). He averaged 17.0 points as a senior, including 16 to help the Wolverines defeat Santa Maria St. Joseph, 76-65, in the open division state championship game. As a junior, Dunlap averaged 16.7 points to help Harvard-Westlake reach the Regional Semifinals (quarterfinal round) of the CIF state tournament.
Dunlap was actually born in Athens and is the son of Jeff Dunlap, a longtime college basketball coach whose career includes a stint with the Bulldogs from 1999-2003.
Dunlap is the 10th player set to play for the Bulldogs next season.
Georgia will welcome back six returnees, including 80 percent of its 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.
The Bulldogs have signed four newcomers, Dunlap 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.
• 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 a record-setting season under White when they posted the most regular-season wins in program history (22) and also bettered their best-ever totals for points (2,951) and scoring average (89.4 ppg). Georgia recorded a third-straight 20-win campaign, just the third time the Bulldogs have done so in 121 seasons. Georgia also secured back-to-back bids to the NCAA Tournament for only the fourth time ever.
