Your retort is lame. FSU won and kudos to them. Paying recruits is 100% legal and above board now but your take and the one you quoted trying to downplay the NIL angle is a fake out against what actually happened.


I never downplayed the NIL angle. My point is...because of NIL, Georgia fans should stop claiming we are the pick of any recruit. SoFl is right 9 out of 10 times. I get that. But things happen with NIL and to come to this board and claim we will definitely get any recruit is short sighted. We have had egg on our faces because some posters have said this about Phillips and about Bolden. Seems like some folks would learn from their mistakes and not continue to make them time after time after time.

This recruit was for sale to the highest bidder and FSU made the “all in” bid on commitment day at this game of poker and raises and re-raises between FSU, AU and UGA.

Which only reinforces what I said above. Our fans need to stop beating their chests and acting like we can't be beaten. I don't pay attention (as a whole0 to who has been doing that, so I don't know if it was you or others. But our fans (some of them) deserve the embarrassment when they claim we have a recruit, then they pick someone else. No matter who they pick or why they pick them.

Every fanbase on this site is misrepresented at some point or another - not just UGA. It’s just that UGA is on top now so they are more hated just like Bama was a few years ago.

Lots of overconfidence, false bravado and trolling happens every day in every post - bragging and trolling are two different things - and each fanbase does both - I thought UGA would win with KJ but have been following recruiting long enough to know there is no 100% lock. UGA fans only have to go back one recruiting cycle with the shock of legacy RB Justice Haynes to Bama - to illustrate nothing is a lock - even when you believe it is.

UGA is no more or no less guilty than every fanbase about this stuff. Folks are just a little more perturbed by it.
