Yeah, not sure I’m buying that he’s “homesick.”

No kidding, the "homesick" is an excuse to try to get a waiver to play immediately next year.

LSU's passing offense is currently 19th in the country with true frosh quarterbacks.

Georgia is 69th.

Hes got the most receptions and the most yards on the team. You would think that would be a reason to stay . Maybe brennans career really is in jeopardy . They had a chemistry going . He did with Finley too. Idk he may be homesick though ,its a different world down there, lol to say the least

It is more common than one thinks. The onset separation anxiety induced depression isn't the sole domain of normal college students and military boot camp recruits. Athletes seem like kings of campus, but sometimes struggle more than most when they realize they are no longer the biggest fish in the sea, their HS personal game isn't as strong in college, and they are held accountable for making team meetings/practices, class times and courses reqs.

I'm sure that anxiety is worsened when personal expectations of team outcomes and role may not have come to reality. Derek Henry won a Heisman at Bama and almost transferred

You're not wrong, happens all the time. But when people get "home sick," they transfer to a school actually in their hometown and live with their family typically. Yes, it happens a lot with college freshman. However, unless Gilbert plans on signing with Ga Tech, he's not going to escape that situation of being away from his family on a daily basis.

That's what I was saying..you all know good and well that lsu was a hell of an offense with brennan. Weren't we a top 7 offense in the country when we were healthy with brennan and terrace?

You can say what you want about the defense,but we would be one hell of an offense with brennan ,which we were ,so that's been proven.

I'll say it again,brennans injury took a, bad, or a very much down year , and turned it into a catastrophe.

So happy he’s about to tell LSU to frick OFF!!!

Well if "homesick" is code for an offense that blows arse, he evidently isn't learning his lesson if his destination is UGA.

I believe he transferred for family reasons. I may be wrong though
