Re: Former Georgia defensive back Joenel Aguero announces transfer to Ole Miss
@JTM22 Simple really. Were Aguero considered a 1st, 2nd or 3rd round pick he would have entered the NFL draft. Since he isn't - and since his stock isn't going to change much next season by staying at UGA anyway because he doesn't have first 3 round talent, size or skill - he is taking more money from the Ole Miss collective than the UGA collective is willing to pay.
UGA will win more games than Ole Miss next year. But it is 3 more wins versus - spitballing here - $350,000. Which one of those is going to be more useful to him 10 years from now? It would be one thing if UGA were like Clemson in 2017, Bama 2019, UGA 2021 or Ohio State 2023. But it is difficult to propose that UGA is going to be a contender to get through a 12 team playoff without a major infusion of offensive firepower. Where's that going to come from? There isn't a Ryan Williams or Nick Chubb in this recruiting class. (The skill players in the 2025 class were higher rated plus there were more of them.) And Smart is getting the same low profile offense guys from the portal as usual. The big time portal prospects like Cam Coleman never considered Georgia and even 2nd tier WR Tre Richardson chose Louisville.
Not saying that Talyn Taylor and Thomas Blackshear won't be All-Americans next year or that Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens won't put it together to become a 1000 yard rushing duo like UGA had with D'Andre Swift and Elijah Holyfield in 2018 (the good old days when UGA's top 2 RBs had 6.5 yards per carry and even the 3rd RB, Brian Herrien, had 6 ypc. This year? Frazier had 5.5 and Bowens 5.) It is just the likelihood based on comparing that UGA has coming back on offense to the other contenders isn't enough to deter a transfer from a guy who already has 2 SEC rings already. A 3rd SEC ring followed by a first game playoff exit to a team that has the difference makers on offense that UGA hasn't had since 2023 (when there wasn't enough of them, only 2, causing UGA to lose the play-in SEC title game when they were hurt) or $350,000 more dollars?
You might not make the same decision. (Then again, do we know what type of decision that you would make if you had to decide on enough money to pay your parents' mortgage and your siblings' college education?) But it is very understandable why Aguero would.
