There are a few positions where our alleged NIL strategy is going to severely impact our ability to sign top level players. OT is probably #1 on the list. There is a 0% chance a 2024 version of Broderick Jones, Andrew Thomas, Isaiah Wilson, or Amarius Mims are signing with UGA for a pay-scaled NIL number slotted below current upperclassmen. Market rate for a 5* OT is allegedly close to $1M per year.

I am not necessarily saying UGA’s strategy is wrong, but all strategies have drawbacks.



My hope in the off-season is that we open the bank for the top offensive tackle in the portal, pair him with Freeling and have Earnest Greene cross-train at guard in the spring and become our utility lineman.

There’s a significant chance that the top
OT in the portal is worse than a healthy Earnest Greene. Teams don’t tend to let those guys go.

Contrary to popular belief, the amount of true game changers capable of starting for national contenders in the portal is not that high. Top 2 OTs in the portal last year were Zalance Heard and Cayden Green, neither of whom played very well at all this season.

Rusty is more bullish on Wynn...guy from Greene county

Thinks the RB from Lee County sticks but doesn't think we get McCloud

Still leans UGA for Terry

Tavion Wallace...we are making a late charge there

If we flip Tavon Wallace then that goofy arse video of the Arkansas LB coach running around screaming when he committed becomes hilarious

Apparently FSU making a late NIL push for Wallace and Wynn smh

Rumors from SoFl that the Montgomery kid may get processed.

Speaking of rumors, there is buzz that Bobo is stepping down after this year. Take with grain of salt of course

I see how you just slid this in here.


Wouldn't be surprised. But would probably chalk it up to Bobo bashers trying to get their wish.

247 says Florida is making a big push to sign Montgomery. He’s a fine prospect long term, but UGA shouldn’t commit any NIL to sign him imo.

Terry may end up in Michigan sounds like. Bag run deepth

Check that, apparently Michigan made a run at Gibson with a big bag but we held them off.

Rusty said this AM that he still leans Terry to UGA.

We got a legit already plays the position well center in Cortez Smith. We got a solid to above average guard possibly tackle in Mason Short. We got a first round tackle when he loses 30 pounds in Juan Gaston. Not to mention the others. Yea. I’m good with it.

This is why we need a pinned "What is SoFl saying" thread. I don't think that is would siphon viewers off from this board. That place sucks.

To my knowledge Wynn was committed to FSU previously. Not sure if he decommitted at some point. Either way I’d like to have him but as far as interior DL goes, Griffin and Terry are the prizes.
