This is getting ridiculous. Almost.
BREAKING: #UGA lands #LSU transfer Arik Gilbert. The former Gatorade player on the year tells me, he is ‘coming home’ and this was a ‘family decision’ in this exclusive interview on @Dawgs247.
Gilbert talks about playing WR in Athens and much more here.https://t.co/zygwygNeBP pic.twitter.com/iPahbbJi1N— Rusty Mansell (@Mansell247) June 1, 2021
Christmas came early this year, Dawg fans. Savor it.
Filed under Georgia Football, Transfers Are For Coaches.
“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23
Oh LAWD!…..watch out, the Dawgs are coming.

Word is he has to take and pass classes this summer to be eligible to play this Fall. But I bet he has half a dozen tutors making sure that isn’t a problem.

Dayne WIlliams at Rivals begs to differ. He was told Gilbert is currently eligible for the fall. It’s Derion Kendrick who has work to do to be eligible, but many of us knew that already. Kendrick missed much of the spring semester because one of his kids was in the hospital.

Well whatever it is, I’d guess Kirby believes they both will be ready in the fall. Hard to believe he would burn a scholarship on a player he didn’t believe could actually contribute this season.

Poor JT. 5 guys coming into the huddle going “I’ll be open.” Who does he choose? Seriously, we need to get real comfortable scoring 50 points. It takes practice to work through the mental focus of having big leads.

No need to concern yourself about this fan base needing mental focus to withstand big leads. There is no such thing as a lead big enough to stop a true Georgia fan from finding something to worry about.

I feel like the difference is Pickens going down. He wasn’t coming when Pickens was healthy, now that Pickens is out, Gilbert is coming.
He seems like a one and done and I felt like all the talent kept him away when he first left LSU. Every writer and their mother was certain he was coming to Athens and then he wasn’t.
Also, the DB from Clemson could be the bigger pickup, imo. That’s certainly a position of greater need.

He’s only a sophomore, by definition he cannot be a one and done.

Is anyone surprised? I’m not. When people started talking about these two , I just assumed Kirby would get them to Athens. It’s not possible for Kirby to surprise me anymore. Kirby is like the fucking Borg, resistance is futile.
