re: Former Pitt WR, Biletnikoff winner Jordan Addison spotted working out with Bryce Young

Because rumor has it he was in contact with multiple schools prior to entering the portal. There’s a reason why his team mates and head coach at Pitt is trying to blow the whistle. Pitt Head Coach has attempted multiple times to reach out ti Lincoln Riley and he won’t return his call. He is not happy how it went down. Now granted no coach will be happy losing one of the top players in the country, but again rumor has it he was being recruited and was even given an NIL offer of $3 million prior to entering the portal. But rather true or not this entire pay for play thing got out of hand the very first day the courts ruled it was ok.

Sounds like Pitt boosters need to stop being poor.

If the kid contacted multiple schools then how the hell is that tampering by another coach?

I’d think any high level player that’s looking to transfer would do some canvassing of his own before jumping in the portal.

Honest question and although it will sound like I am taking a shot at Alabama, I don't really mean to be.....

Is Alabama doing a bad job of developing WRs, or are they not evaluating them properly? It would appear as if y'all are taking 2-3 WRs from the portal this year and Williamson last year.

Baker already transferred to UK.

Yup. I hope he does well at Kentucky.

Yep. Do-gooders solutions almost always destroy what they are intended to"save" or "improve". That's because they are invariably grounded in feelings or emotions rather than common sense or reality.

I think they made some bad evals on the 2020 class I believe it was. Javon Baker, Thaui Jones Bell, and Traeshon Holden have done nothing. They should be the one starting now and none of them are playing, most are gonna wind up transferring out. It's too early to tell about the 21 class, but they show promise. 22 class should be legit.

Thanks. I knew y'all usually got some highly rated guys, and with all the transfer portal rumors it caught me off guard.

Alabama’s passing game has been better than Georgia’s at least 7 years and had numerous first round draft choices and first team All Americans , including the 2020 Heisman trophy winner. Apparently Georgia’s most productive wide receiver thought it would be in his best interest to transfer to Alabama. In other words that’s a troll or a really dumb comment.

My comment had nothing to do with Georgia or our success recruiting WRs. Alabama always has out recruited us at WR, and we have never gone to a full, all out passing offense like Alabama has.

Burton going to Alabama says more about the situation at Alabama than it does at Georgia. Burton was one of my favorite receivers we had, and I hope he does well.

But my comment was not dumb....or it was dumb only if you think I was making a comparison to Georgia's WR situation.....which I was not. Try not to be so sensitive.

A player and more importantly their parents aught to be gauging interest and a landing spot for a player before he enters the portal. I can’t imagine how a guy would be treated by his coaches, trainers, team mates if he jump in the portal and no team picked him up and he had to go back to his coaches and ask to be back on his original team. It would be embarrassing as hell and likely not good for team chemistry.
