Jeebus. Talk about piling on.
Former Georgia Tech RB Jahmyr Gibbs announces that he’s transferring to Alabama.
Likely one of the top RBs in 2023.

Ought to be interesting to see who transfers out. This will give them 8 scholarship RBs, 6 of them blue chips. Good luck to Gibbs finding carries.

Agreed. I think we’re ok without him at that position, but I certainly would have taken him too.

Eh, he was far and away the best player on GT’s team but that’s like being the best singer in Milli Vanilli. I’d be more worried about it if he was joining this season because Alabama is so decimated with injuries right now but next year he’ll be just another dude.

Eh, I know he was playing on a garbage team, but he only had two games this year that stand out on paper against the Virginias.

Otherwise he looked good but nothing transcendent. Some games were downright atrocious. He had -10 yards on 10 carries against Pittsburgh. His longest run that game was 7 yards, followed by 2 yards. Half of his runs in that game were negative yardage. Regardless of how bad the GT line is, that’s not a pretty special player (and Pitt was up the whole game so he should have had space because the D was expecting pass). We’re just overselling him because he was an above average fish in a really small pond.

Sure. Not saying he doesn’t belong at Alabama. But he’s depth more than anything transformational for that offense.

On a side note Saban predicted the rich would get richer with the portal and he didn’t like it even though he would benefit.

Playoff in jeopardy? Rumors are swirling that Covid has hit the QBs and one other position group. If true that’s pretty bad timing. Not wishing for it but it may be the end of the season at worst, a decimated roster for the playoff game at best

You left something out:
Zamir White 726 yards/135 carries
Jahmyr Gibbs 746 yards/232 carries
Zeus had 7 receptions on the year. Gibbs had 35. It’s easy to rack up raw stats when you’re far and away the most talented guy on an offense as opposed to a guy who rotates regularly and whose team spent most of the second half all year ahead in garbage time. Zeus is a very good but certainly not great running back and he’d have likely broken 1,000 yards rushing at GT this year with that many carries. It’s not like Georgia’s OL was dominant in the run by any means this year.
