He said if he was allowed to transfer last year he would be playing, did someone hold a gun to his head?
So for those saying "no other players experienced this", several retweeted his tweet and Kearis Jackson seems to be confirming it, at least the interaction with the police. Kirby needs to get way out in front of this right now.
Bet if he was a starter at UGA he wouldn't be saying such things.
The biggest problem with his accusations, is if he hadn't been bypass by other players he would still be at Georgia, now that he has transfer to another college he comes out with all these accusations, not before, but after he has been told he would have to sit a year, now if he had been allowed to play, he would have never mentioned any of these events, there are racist in all colors everywhere in this world, but to use this just to get playing time, I'm sorry, but it falls on deaf ears, because I know that it's being used for his own personal agenda.
Seems like the transfer portal has now become an excuse for a player to drum up unprovable accusations against their former team/teammates/coaches in order to obtain immediate eligibility. I hope someone can back up these claims Otis is making.
I'm sure he's heard racial slurs at UGA (just like he would most anywhere else sadly) and I'm sympathetic to that.....but my take on this whole thing is that he's trying to leverage this into immediate eligibility just like Justin Fields. It's now become a strategy for many of these kids when they don't get what they want (thanks to immoral attorneys representing them). I doubt UGA is holding up his case...the kid is looking for someone to blame. So Otis blame the incompetent NCAA and stop the bad mouthing of one of the best schools in the country giving you a free scholarship and a chance to make it big in the NFL....you couldn't cut it at UGA and that's your issue not UGA's. This is not a good look for recruiting!
I def wouldn't go to any school in Mississippi but hell but i can understand him leaving if he had to deal with students being racist bc its there at uga. They just shut down a frat bc of racism. Maybe he did tell the coaches but since Kirby only lets minimal info out the program we'll never know. We did have a racist playing qb for 3 yrs. Jake Fromm sry ass
So, other than a policeman, whose going to say something racial to Otis Reese? Just sayin. Just a case of "it worked for Justin." Does he really believe Mississippi doesn't have racists? The race card trumps everything today , sadly. If you deny allegations, just proves you're a racist. So, they say.
The only thing I'd like to add, well two things, is none of us knows the truth. For all we know, Otis Reese's complaints are spot on, and the fact that he didn't bring them up earlier doesn't mean that they are not true. And if true, they need to be investigated. But the other thing, and someone else mentioned this, is that several of the Black players STILL at UGA retweeted his post, thus amplifying it. And so I wonder if they did so to just say, "hey, we support our boy getting the chance to play right away," or are they saying they agree with the claims he's made, INCLUDING that CKS did or is giving him a raw deal? That would be good to know. I'm almost sure that Kirby has addressed this with those players, or perhaps the entire team, because underlying stuff like this will divide and destroy a team far quicker than any COVID diagnosis.
When you don't have proof of a so called injustice, you yell racism. If he had left UGA for almost anywhere in the nation, but Ole Miss I would have thought he really had a case. I don't know if the state is still as bad as the movie portrayed it in "Mississippi Burning", but the school still has a Rebel mascot..
