On the OSU thing, I agree Ransom tripped but if, for example, Dillon Bell was the receiver going at him, he might not have tripped because Bell is an average speed receiver. I think he realized it was that number 11 the coaches told him to watch out for screaming at him and he tripped because he knew if he didn’t turn and run perfectly (or maybe even if he did) that Arian would run right by him.

I know I’m in the minority but I kinda don’t like this. The organization now gets to say “Yall can shut up now we drafted a Georgia guy high” but they drafted one of our least “sure thing” players in recent memory. I LOVE JW but he’s not a sure thing at all. He’s got all the mental aspects. Character. Toughness. Drive. Etc. but the NFL is a size based league. If you’re going to be undersized and excel you have to be a freak athlete. JW is a great athlete but not a freak. I really hope it works out and he’s a perennial all-pro but this is risky.

It’s apparently between us and Ohio state for Beau Atkinson. 6’6” 265 edge from UNC who had 7 sacks last year. Would be good to have a plug and play guy as I think Gabe Harris is more of an OLB jack and so we don’t have an obvious direct replacement for Mykel at 5 technique.

Report came out that Tuggle was doing 107 on the loop where the limit was 65. I can look past 20-25 because most everyone speeds a bit and sometimes overdoes it. But 42!? Insane. He should be gone. As Daniel Harris should have been during the season last year for doing 106.

I kinda get not televising for transfer portal reasons etc but why not have some team crew film it with Scott Howard doing play by play and release it for the fans after the spring portal closes? Win win. No portal advertisements and fans still get to see the game just later.

Has to play one more juco year. Huge talent but off field issues have made it a small miracle he’s even made it this far.

I imagine it’s a “You’re good to participate and play son, but you so much as fart in the wrong direction and you’re gone”

I’ll watch him. My Miami interest will go from an automatic 1 (because college football) to a 2-3

Probably a public opinion test. “Let’s leak that he’s stepping down and see what happens”. Although I used to love Radi, I just about don’t trust a thing he says anymore. His outfit has gotten so big he just says what he wants now.

“Couldn’t afford it”…..possibly

“Chose not to afford it”….more likely

It had more to do with scheme fit than you think. Did we want him back? Absolutely. But not at a king’s ransom.

Also on the topic of Georgia’s supposed NIL budget…the only players we outright have been outbid for have been Justus Terry and Caleb Downs and Downs still likely would have ended up coming here if his dad wasn’t still butthurt that we never offered his brother a couple years ago. Either way OSU offered him more but not by much. Point is Kirby will absolutely play NIL bidding war if he thinks you’re good enough. Obviously our pockets aren’t endless but there seems to be this naive portion of fans (many Georgia fans as well) that think we have all these good players solely on the back of future NFL contract dreams and good vibes. Sure we sell that but we pay too. We just don’t advertise it because we don’t want players seeing us as a big spender.
