re: South Carolina WR Juice Wells entering transfer portal

Bouie was not an NIL bid.

He was a favor to a booster in Bainsbridge who cared about the kid.
It was a last ditch lifeline to help the kid.

Bouie would have never been brought in if it wasn't that request. As it was, the leash was short.

Will Kirby do someone a solid like that again in the future? I don't know. But it was not anything that I had seen in the prior 7 years.

This list shows that a third of Georgia's top 21 NIL earners are freshmen, and an 8th was Smoke Bouie (transfer). If this is accurate, your entire premise is bullshite.

I will say that the upper class numbers could be pretty good numbers.

Someone at On3 confirms that a portal ILB at Ohio State makes X amount. They compare that number to the skill/potential of players at UGA.
Georgia may not always be the highest bid. But I would bet that retention bid is a lot closer to the high bid than what is offered a kid out of high school.

UGA is not trying to be "cheap". UGA is trying to be smart.
