Believe it or not, Georgia is losing another member of the secondary.
Let’s see… subtract the 1, carry the 5…
Unless Kirby is about to pull some new faces out of the portal. Which I’m pretty confident he’ll do.
Jahmile Addae is going to have a stressful August, methinks.
Yeesh. What a quitter, amirite?

LSU “tampering”. One of the hardest states to pull kids out of and keep them, unless your Saint Nick or the kid didn’t get indoctrinated while he lived there.

That little diddy about “coaches that believed in me will serve as a reminder of what support looks like”, feels like the UGA staff lost faith in his ability, he didn’t work hard enough, couldn’t down field block, something smells there…i get the transfer to miami (family), it seems as though with some hard work/effort/film study/listen a 4* DB is gonna see the field of play alot this season…or just maybe the lure of coach “O” and redbull was to much to resist…

Yeah, I’m always a little iffy on recruiting Louisiana kids. A) they’re tough to pull away from LSU, so it’s a lot of resources for something that is unlikely to pan out, and B) they’re so culturally tied to the state, they seems to have a hard time fitting in.
With the usual caveat of exceptions, of course.

Some of these guys have simply been recruited over would be my guess. They see every practice and see the super high quality depth chart.

That’s the thing man… there is no high quality depth chart at DB right now. There is a lot raw talent, but there is a severe lack of depth.

Like I said – the guys see the talent stacked at the position they hoped to play and seek greener pastures. I’m not going to worry about it since I have no control over these young men and Kirby and staff get paid big bucks to worry and plan so I don’t have to worry 🙂

Auburn’s new coach likes to throw the ball. Florida loves to throw the ball if they’re able. And speaking of teams that would prefer to throw it if only they could, Georgia Tech wants to throw the ball. Tennessee under Heupel would like to. And everyone is going to try it against us, including teams that don’t usually like such things.

I think Burns sees himself as a starter and after this spring he
learned he wasn’t going to be one. It’s going to take some epic fails in the portal before these kids understand how and when to use it. Hope he does well-just not against us.

When a cornerback transfers out, I’ll be worried. That’s where we’re really hurting, I feel better about the safety spot. However, this sounds like a guy who realizes he isn’t going to be one of the starters at a safety position and is sick of waiting. I wish him luck, but I sure wish he’d stick around instead and see what happens. Guys get hurt, guys fail to perform, all of that. I know we’re expecting the kid from WVU to come in an take a starting job but I’m sure glad we didn’t have any receivers transfer just because Demetris Robertson transferred in.

I think the question might’ve been, was Burns going to be a featured performer in the UGA secondary? Despite a depleted DB room, not much so far indicated he was going to be The Man. From my perspective, a lot of kids seem to go into the portal to find a place where they think they can shine. I hope it works out for him, but there are no guarantees.
