Arik Gilbert is back.

Gilbert was supposed to play a huge role for Georgia last fall but left the program early in fall camp to deal with personal problems. To Kirby Smart’s credit, he stuck with the Marietta native, who rejoined the program back in January.

Georgia lists Gilbert as a wide receiver, although we understand he’s going to need to get his weight down lower than what it is. This spring will be huge from the standpoint of getting back in the shape he’ll need to be this fall.

If he can, Gilbert can help make up for the loss of Burton and give Todd Monken potentially another huge offensive piece.

Man i hope it works out for him. He is a top 3 round talent but he has to play and learn to be a teammate and accept coaching.

No ody uses his body type and skill set more than we do so we are the best spot for him.

Put a full-time counselor on him and keep his mind straight.

Hope the kid can get his issues resolved as they are, as a player and more importantly as a young man...

I will be the Negative Nancy.

He has completely crapped out on two schools now, I will believe it when I see him on the field. I am hoping he keeps it together and becomes an All American at UGA, but once bitten twice shy.

While this is true, Gilbert at least talked with the HC and staff and made a good decision. He stepped back from the game and seemingly worked on the mental issues that affected him. Now he is back in school and working with the coaches and his teammates. We will likely know be the season opener id he is fully back to what his potential says he can be. Let's all pull for him.

I'm a negative Nancy too. I think team chemistry is very important and don't want one guy to foul it up. We already have 2 stud tight ends so not sure if they will move him to receiver.
