I disagree. He had some really good runs. Think the coaches just favored Miller a lot more. If Miller goes pro, Haynes woulda been the starter. If he goes to Ohio State, he will definitely get a lot of touches. I’d take him over BRob right now

Singleton wants a big bag. Also appears not to be interested in even visiting us so don't think he will an option unfortunately

Respect the hate he has for us though.

That’s nice, but they play different positions and not comparable at all

I’d prefer Key from Kentucky over Singleton. I like his size and blocking. Also, probably get his buddy from Kentucky too

Plus his girlfriend is on the Softball team, so we get some extra motivation from him and maybe less NIL needed

I'd take both lol but I get what you mean.

Singleton taking over the Dom role would be fun to watch.

Any warm body at X is probably higher priority though.

Singleton can really really run and is a natural receiver. Reminds me of McConkey.

It would be the best NIL get possible for us.

Imagine how the locker room would be if a player came who they knew demanded big NIL…

The locker room also wants to win. I'd imagine having to watch our receivers hold the team back this year has been really frustrating for the players too. We know we need some better wide receivers. Our players really really know we need some better wide receivers.

Missed the point completely. That’s like freshman coming in demanding more than established players. Singleton comes in and demands huge money - more than anyone else in the locker room. Does that promote harmony?

Whats a big bag? Starting receiver at GA gets more than GT for sure, and Georgia has more to offer than most teams in the SEC.

He will be compensated, but Kirby won't overpay because he doesnt have to. Let poorly run teams waste finite resources

Rumors of 2 million+

We do not offer more when it comes to WR production

We’re not going to be able to get WRs who really make a difference without paying more money than we would to most positions.

While that may be, but what is one thing Kirby’s teams are known for? Does me come before mission or team?

Comparing him to an incoming freshman, eh? You don't think our players already know who Eric Singleton is and what he can do

That and an extremely high talent level across the board. We need players who are capable of playing at a high level across all positions. That includes positions that cost more money. It would have been cheaper if we had evaluated and recruited HS receivers well, but that didn’t happen.

Why not ask for 50 million? Lol. He's not getting that anywhere.

I guess a better question is what's the market for the kid. Unless folks are just burning cash UGA will be one of the best offers

We're not in his top 5. Other boards say we reached out but then backed out after hearing NIL request. He won't be coming here.

Yeah frick that.

Bring in Key and call it a day. We need an X receiver and he fits the bill perfectly.
