I wouldn’t mind if UGA backed off the “unfinished business” stuff.
Mitch Trubisky used the same phrase regarding returning to the Bears.
Talk is cheap.
I'd hate for Gilbert to wind up in Gainesville, but it would certainly make sense after the career that Kyle Pitts had there. But to continue to beat a dead horse, the NCAA and/or the conferences are going to have to bring some order to this transfer business. This notion that kids can go somewhere and basically "test-drive" a school for a year or two and then when things don't go their way for whatever reason, just up and leave without any repercussions is starting to get old. And spare me the talk about coaches leaving on a whim. Yes, coaches do leave for other schools, but 99 percent of the time, their new school (or their boosters) have to fork over some dollars to cover it. Of course, the boosters can afford it, but the dumped school at least gets SOMETHING for their time and effort. With these transfer rules now, the original school gets NOTHING for all the time, money and effort it spent recruiting a kid in the first place and often has to struggle like heck to find a suitable replacement. And to tamp this stuff down within the SEC, I would suggest that if a kid transfers from one SEC school to another, that the school where he transfers to has to give a scholarship to the member school that the kid left. I think that would eliminate a lot of **** business and fan-base ugliness before it gets started. There has to be some sort of consequences here for somebody, somewhere. Either the kid sits a year (my preferred method) or the school gives up a scholarship or two, or it has to pay money to the school that the kid they signed just left. Something, though. These kids now think they're like NFL free agents -- and they are. Go Dawgs!
