Breaking: Georgia now has its first post-Sam Pittman de-commitment
Georgia has lost its first de-commitment in the 2020 class with 4-star OT Joshua Braun. Why is he no longer committed? Braun shared that reason why.

Sorry to see you go, but you don't commit to playing for a Coach, you commit to playing for a University. Good luck with the Gators.
EST of luck young man but youCommited to a coach, not a school, was never a DAWG at heart.
The way it's framed here, this really doesn't add up. His commitment was specifically to Pittman, but his likely landing spot now is one of two places where Pittman isn't coaching? He was excited enough to be coming to Georgia that he planned on an extended residency, but his position coach is replaced by another who the family obviously respects, and just like that UGA is entirely out of contention?
Best..
If he ends up at Arkansas, all of this will make a lot more sense, but there's no indication above that that's a likely outcome.
So, Braun and his family were pinning the commitment on the thought Pitt was going to be at UGA for the next five years? That was unrealistic from the get-go! Early enrollee, plans to participate in bowl practices, a five year commitment with a master's in a field UGA obviously excels in. That sounds a lot like a commitment to the school, not a coach.
I agree, somehow 2+2 isn't equalling 4 here..
Bummer!!! Sorry to lose Josh, but I hope he realizes the coaching changes will likely occur no matter where he goes. Good luck young man and go Dawgs!!!
This feels like having a player transfer before he even got in the program.
I don't think he would have had a shot at cracking the starting lineup his first year and if the coach he liked wasn't going to be there why not go somewhere easier to get playing time?
If that were true, the coach would be irrelevant. He'd want to excel for UGA, on and off the field, regardless of the who coach is, if he truly wanted to be at UGA.
I wish the young man the best of luck. BUT, he must not bleed red and black or he wouldn't have decommited.
Da*n ! I hope he doesn't go to Florida or South Carolina ! We have to get him to reconsider !
Funny, he wanted to play for Pittman when Pittman was part of a winning team. Pittman moves to arkansas, and his other 2 finalist are SC and UF? With no mention of playing on a cellar dweller with Pittman as HC..
