What to make of Georgia football transfer portal and recruiting drama
It has been a very noisy 24 hours for Georgia when it comes to the transfer portal and recruiting front.

I’m impressed with what I’ve seen with Akayleb Evans. Don’t be fooled by the fact that he played for Tulsa. They had 3 losses last season in very close games against nationally ranked Oklahoma State and Cincinnati in the conference championship game. We all know how tough the Bearcats were and Tulsa only lost 27-24. I dug deeper into the stats and Akayleb had an amazing 9 tackles (8 solos) in that game. They also lost the bowl game 28-26 to the same Mississippi State team that almost beat us. This young man would be a great pick-up and he has 2-3 more years of eligibility. Go Dawgs!!!
Folks, just goes to show you how quickly things can change in the world of the crazy transfer portal and when it comes to 17 & 18-year old recruits who are trying to make BIG decisions out of high school. Expect more of this kind of thing going forward - especially when it comes to the transfer portal. It's the wild, wild west out there fellas!!
This is why I don't get to hyped when commits are announced. These kids start getting heavily recruited way to early to place a lot of stock in their commitment. I understand that early recruitment is a must but I just wait until they show up on campus and hope they stick around. It would be nice to hold on to Bear but you have to keep moving in hopes of finding real talent that has put enough thought in to it and knows he wants to play for the University of Georgia.
Also Bear Alexander: " I feel like a ‘Dawg already. But like I was just telling Coach Smart, I have red, black and white running through my veins.”
Once again I have to question Connor Riley's take on the DB depth at UGA. "isn’t much behind projected starting safeties Lewis Cine and Chris Smith"? Speed, Ringo and Brini all have the size to play S and are all bigger than Chris Smith. Put those 3 with Smith, Smith and Cine and UGA can go 6 deep at S w/o counting freshman. Makes you question Connor's "agenda" with these articles. Or it is a lazy take on the DB position.
