After reading the probable cause of his transfer.. I retract my comment posted earlier. If your dad is actually that ****, and can't figure out how a folding chair operates and sues because of HIS OWN STUPIDITY, I cannot respect anyone who associates with a 🤡 such as this. He showed his true colors, and his lack of education, not suprising considering he attended UT. And now the son follows in his footsteps.. Bye Bye and don't lose a finger, and sue again, when the door hits your Butt on the way out.. Timeline of events looks like an evil scheme to sucker easy money, nothing more. If not, they would've never let their son enroll at UGA, let Pittman announce his departure, lawsuit filed, son decides to transfer.. How convienent. I see a UT education pays off after all 😂😂😂

Yeah, 2 years ago... Son gets a new coach, and now he wants him to transfer. Let me reiterate my point from earlier. Shouldn't have even wasted uga's money on him. Not UGA's fault that he didn't pass chairfolding class at UT. Guess Fulmer must've bailed him out then like he's trying to do for Cade now.

We Easily had the most talented and underperforming OL in college football. Pittman was a fun guy and great recruiter, but a mediocre on the field coach. In fact, the players were agreeing with me a week ago when they talked about how active Luke was at practices compared to Pittman’s passive and carefree approach. I’ve never been impressed with our OL, especially with all their talent. As the ESPN analyst observed a few days ago, the Sugar Bowl was the best performance by UGa’s OL in over 2 months. Pretty impressive since we were minus 3 starters. Sounds like Matt Luke gets the credit for this success. Go Dawgs

It all comes down to " Coley ", these players are tired of being put in a position to fail. You can not be great in college while running a high school offence. Every team in the playoff runs a wide open system, maybe they are on to something.

Crushing?? Crushing from a recruiting view, not from a fans view of the program. This guy is a mess. I mean, he was suspended ...TWICE... from his HS team this year, including one of the finals. Who does that?? With someone as 'talented' as he is, how could...or WHY... would a HS coach suspend his likely best player on the team...TWICE???
UGA doesn't need distractions, they need solid, dependable people that will make good decisions.

OK so Bleacher Report says Cade's Dad is suing UGA and a chair manufacturer. Apparently, Cade had his pinky partially amputated when he got it caught in a folding chair at a UGA event. He's expected to transfer to Tennessee. Could this day get any stranger?

No offense and no football teams (2020) campaign can sustain the attrition that as transpired over the last 5 weeks on the offensive side of the ball...
We will be replacing 8 starters and 3 or 4 heavily rotated players this fall and potentially even one more Off Lineman (Big Ben)
Do you want proof of what happened this past year on our supposed dominant offense.... Please reference the two starting receivers and one starting TE that bolted early into the league along with a 2nd string half starter running back named Holyfield. .... This past years painful offense was dreadful and at times an incompetent attempt at keeping up with competitors fast changing and high scoring Off machines.... Ie. LSWHO!
Reality of the know:
- NO QB on the roster with ANY MEANINGFUL playing time: A former walk- on who received a scholly due to no other choices but him to sign, a former 4 star with a health situation unknown to all minus his family and the team, and a high 4 star Freshman on campus with zero PT. You cannot deny this is a desperate situation and Kirby will have to pull gold out of a place where the sun don't shine DAWG alumni and fans....it's a bleak situation today no doubt about it!
- Running Backs: Zeus... can he step up and be a every down type of back with two major knee repairs? He has improved but as we all know...there are questions marks. A junior who has played but can number #4 make the transition to a full time back? A soph with great potential but almost no first string reps and a true Freshman.... I know my gut tells me this is a good group backs with tons of upside but in Kirby's 5th season there are huge questions with this group simply stated.
- Offensive line: DEPLETED STARTING 1st STRING is the only word one can describe UGA's vaunted once Great Wall as of Wed Jan 8th 2020!. Who is left with reps.... We got one starter returning Trey Hill (Center) and two rotating guys Salyer and an unknown with Ben Cleveland who basically dropped out of school this fall and now is academically ineligible to play. He is a crap shoot if he ever plays another down. Are their highly regarding current roster players and not yet signed Off Lineman available? Yes, but folks as we all know.... experience matters and our Off line in 2020 is not going to have much in that area....a painfully sober FACT!
- TE... A deserted unit with almost zero experience.... The kid form Marist played but did he do anything other than block? The other TE from Cobb tore his knee two years ago and has zero PT I think and an huge up- side TE from the desert of NV.... Oh boy is this a great way to go into 2020.... I would say NOT!
- Finally the .... Receiver Corp. We go one stud (Pickens), a number 16 who has shown almost zero as a BullDawg vs.h is Fresh year out WEST production credits...where is that player? I will be waiting for him to drop another ball! Another starter that has a torn up knee...we all know first year returns are not that great but 2nd years are better. a few other rotating route runners with a bag of inconsistency amongst all of them. Yes, 3 or 4 big time receivers with a great upside.... can they step up in Mercedes vs. VA and two weeks later inside Bryant Denny or with AUB in town early Oct?
Right now today the East has become a 4 horse race.... UF, UT, SC (All three hv returning QB's) and UGA . Yes are DEF will be a machine but Def's don't win championships anymore.... High scoring OFF's DO and as of today our offense is in SHAMBLES!!!

You're right in 'you never know what happens behind closed doors', but I don't believe Mays would be told he's not starting at this point... I mean, spring practice hasn't even started. With all of the O-line attrition, they really need Mays as an anchor on the O-line. I do agree that our O-line as a whole was oversized & couldn't get out of stance quick enough to dictate where the run was going, but one lineman isn't going to make or break the philosophy of the O-line.

It'd be interesting to know what REALLY happens behind the closed doors. You never know on these type of things. Just like it's always best to be "laid off" vs "fired", it's always viewed as a players decision... but it might be that Mays was told that he wasn't going to start as part of a quicker-more-mobile OL. Who knows.

Coach Luke has said he wants the OL to become more athletic and that is very good thing. That could very well be the reason for Cade's decision. The thing about road graders is they only move well in one direction...straight ahead. Very seldom did the Dawgs have numbers at the point of attack this year. Broderick Jones will be the perfect LT in Luke's scheme!

This one makes no sense. He likely would graduate in Dec or soon thereafter and would be potentially a top draft pick in 2021. Again, this may be more with house cleaning that CKS started after the LSU game. I personally feel Pittman moving on was a good thing. As CKS said after the Sugar Bowl, he felt the O-line had under performed all season. I think that's been the case for four years.

While I'm not a chicken little, this one does hurt. Sounds like a family decision, but whatever the motivation, all this OL depth is being put to the test.

Dawg365......Herschel Walker regretted not coming back for his senior year....true. Heisman and natthy winner!!!! Fromm just wanted out...as most of the team and receivers are totally new. Fromm was at the end of his college days not the beginning. But, you can bank it that he talked it out with Smart first. So Smart has known for some time. Hitting the transfers. They keep a lot from us outsiders..we are definitely some of the last to know...lol I do believe we will likely lose at least three games maybe more. Just thinking. Kirby will be on the hot seat again. NCAA football is mercurial to say the least....you cannot bank on anyone! Very little loyalty except to the NFL.

Everyone is freaking out with Fromm, and then Mayes, leaving the program. Relax - inhale slowly. Good. Now, exhale slowly. Repeat until your blood pressure drops to normal (or close). At sixty-two, I, a UGA graduate, have seen a lot of football. The ship is not sinking. We have plenty of talent on the offensive line, and will get a good QB through the transfer portal, should we wish. It is all about coaching and recruiting. We have a great coach who is an even better recruiter (same as Saban) who is surrounded by great recruiters. We will be fine - if you stop hyperventilating, for fans we need, if only to have the money it takes to hire and keep good coaches.

I have my answer(I think) for why Jake's not returning. It's called a whole new offensive line and a group of new receivers.

I saw the Mathis kid in the spring game and he is impressive. Beck is on campus and can be a good understudy and QB in waiting. Don't count out the Dawgs yet. Our defense will be as good as it gets and will keep us competitive and in every game until the offense matures. Hey, it can't get any worse than Fromm's last four games before the Sugar Bowl. Let's face it, Baylor was an overrated #7.

I didn't see that coming, but when you think about it, it does make some sense. I was starting to think that Cade was all he was cracked up to be. He was exposed a couple of times against Baylor on national TV.
On further reflection, a lot of our offensive problems this year started on the offensive line. As big as they were, they were never able to generate a push off the ball and open holes for the running game. They were pretty good in pass protection just because they were so dang big and hard to get around.
The good news is that we have a lot of 4* and 5* recruits, up and down the lineup, to fall back on. If Clemson can win a Natty with a freshman QB, why can't we?

This is baffling since Mayes was certain to be a starter and likely get all the playing time his body would have allowed in 2020. Nothing against Mayes or any named player but it often feels like people no longer have loyalty or a love of anything but themselves. I wish the trend were for getting wisdom from God and not society. The world says to only be concerned about yourself. I hope some of these kids realize the grass isn't always greener and if you work hard as a team player-you will be rewarded.
Where are the stalwarts, the Chubbs and Michels when you need them to lead the next class. Fromm will one day regret not coming back for his Senior year, I guarantee it!
I'm off my soapbox. Sometimes the view is better up there!

I don't know, I watched Mays get beat repeatedly against Baylor and he never impressed me. Same for the rest of our vaunted "great wall". The fact is, we came into half our games knowing what the other team's defense was going to do and we still couldn't block. Coaching? Yes, but also player ability.
I hate losing so many, and losing Fromm hurts a LOT, but I'm not as bothered by our O-Line rebuild. They were overrated all year and never showed me they were deserving of praise.

This one is puzzling? Mays would be inline as a full time starter next season. Why transfer and likely have to sit out next season?
Luke did a masterful job in short order getting the makeshift O-line in game winning form for the Sugar-bowl. I can't imagine he would be Mays problem...

This is 100% indicative of Kirbys lack of focus on the offensive side of the ball and poor hire after poor hire since Cheney/Pittman. He finds everything he needs and keeps all his studs on defense but can’t get the job done on offense. He’s got to get him and offensive mind and take his thumbprint completely off the offense or we can kiss these elite recruits and 12 win seasons with championship aspirations goodbye. Thanks Kirby, dare you to prove me wrong.

It'll be interesting to see if we get a grad transfer QB -- perhaps coaches are looking to change the scheme somewhat? Even in that case, it seems like Mays would still fit the scheme. I'm really curious to see where he lands.
Of course, he could dip a toe in the portal waters and then stay at UGA... maybe.

Here it goes.....they are bailing on UGA. I thought of all of the Dawgs, Cade would remain loyal...now anything is possible...what made Cade jump? Fromm leaving? Things are just beginning to go south on the Dawgs!!! Lots of newbies, yes, but newbies. That's college football. I am more than certain now that the CFP is just a dream...a one loss is also. Kind of sick at heart. These new kids will have to step up early. Fromm leaving iced it.

Yeah something isn't clicking all of a sudden. Something big is going on with the offensive side of the ball. Lose 3 lineman to draft, one who may not be drafted. Now another to, more than likely, Tennessee. Fromm is leaving, can't blame him now. We ain't gonna have an o-line by Friday. Are we completely changing our offense behind the scenes? "Rebuild" year here we come. 8-5 season on the horizon.
