Christian Wright, a 6’ 3”, 185-pound guard who played last season at the University of Georgia, has officially signed an “athletics aid agreement” to join the Oregon State basketball program for the upcoming 2022-2023 campaign.
The rising sophomore started 11 games for Georgia but saw action in all 32 contests, averaging 5.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and shooting 34.8% from the field for the Bulldogs. The team finished a disappointing 6-26 overall under then-head coach Tom Crean, which persuaded the Atlanta-native to leave the program and find a new home.
Eventually, Georgia would part ways with Crean leading the program and then swiftly hire new-head coach Mike White away from SEC rival Florida.
