Cal Men's Basketball Lands Transfer Guard Jordan Ross
Back to the Bay for Ross after time at Georgia
Cal Men’s Basketball continues to shape its roster for the 2026-27 season. G Jordan Ross, who spent two seasons up Highway 24 at Saint Mary’s, transferred to Georgia last year before announcing his commitment to the Golden Bears today.
Ross started 60 games across the last two seasons for the Gaels and Bulldogs respectively, going all 35 as SMC made the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2025. Ross eventually came off the bench by the end of last year with Georgia, sitting behind former Cal G Jeremiah Wilkinson.
Ross averaged 6.7 ppg on 42% shooting from the floor and 31% from three, his highest three point mark in three college seasons. Cal is looking to find its depth after losing Justin Pippen, Dai Dai Ames and DeJuan Campbell this season.
The Bears have now landed Michael Cooper, Nojus Indrusaitis and Ross as backcourt transfers. Ross also joins his former Bulldog teammate Jake Wilkins at Cal.
Unless one of these new recruits shows something not seen, the guard play drop off seems sizable.
I'm worried about the lack of shooting going into next year. Cooper shot decently from 3 and Indrusaitis shot well last season. But Wilkins and Ross are both bad shooters + everyone returning from last season into next is not an outside threat either. Hope it's not like the '24/25 season team which just had no spacing
