Bagatskis spent 1 season at Georgia Tech. Originally from Latvia, Bagatskis was a member of Georgia Tech’s 2022 recruiting class.
He saw very limited game action in his only year with the Yellow Jackets. He appeared in 9 games and played 26 total minutes on the year. He finished the season with 3 points on 8 shots.
Georgia Tech is entering a transition phase. The Yellow Jackets hired Damon Stoudamire to replace Josh Pastner earlier this offseason. Pastner brought Bagatskis to campus and had been in charge of the program for 7 seasons.
Georgia Tech will be working to make major roster upgrades this offseason, so more players entering the portal is a possibility. The program went just 6-14 in ACC play this past season.
Georgia Tech has 1 NCAA Tournament appearance in the past 13 seasons.
