National media weighs in on Jermaine Burton transfer from Georgia to Alabama: ‘Interesting’
Georgia football wide receiver Jermaine Burton transferred from Georgia to Alabama on Sunday night.

Saban is salivating..........!
Jermaine isn’t in the same class as Arik and I think he knows there is a huge possibility that Arik plays next year. Also, we need to wait and see who gets Jermaine’s scholarship. Only time will tell as Kirby sifts through the portal and we may pick-up a better player who wants to be a Dawg.
We’ll see if he can stay healthy. My bet is no.
Interesting…..
now on to JT
Be careful about the bridges you burn.
(Don’t) Let the door hit you on the way out.
Perhaps I'm suffering from nostalgia, but I yearn for the pre-NIL and current transfer portal rule days. If Jermaine wants to admire his future stats as Terrence Edwards claims all players like to do, then good luck at Alabama where I suspect there might be a better chance of him getting 500 yards next year versus if he stayed at Georgia. That said, these gyrations brought on by the governing bodies, the coaches, and the players are driving me from the game. I no longer know the coaches and players since they are only around for a year or two, and I have a difficult time tracking the team that seems so radically different from the team from a year ago. I guess I just don't understand how all these changes are for the betterment of the game. Consider me a fan who is questioning my longer-term commitment to being a fan of the game of football. Sad.
I'd take that bet but nice try finding something to dis the kid.
Meaning, what exactly? Have you seen the portal lately? But you want to threaten a kid for no reason? That's on you, not him.
Saban is more no nonsense , short fuse than Kirby. Burton better be ready to step it up a couple notches. UGA needs to be ready to pounce on 1 of the 2 AL wr's that hit the portal this week. AL cherry picking guys at will. The grass isn't always greener.
More power to him. But although I believe Burton is a good receiver, he is not in the same class as Williams, Mechie, Devontae Smith, etc. Simply going to play for Bama and with Bryce Young won't automatically put him in that class. Will his game get elevated? I suspect that it will. Will he be a first-round draft choice? I doubt it. Go Dawgs!
JB went from 5th rounder to 1/2 round. He will get 1k yards no doubt.
It seems like most of Dawgnation is upset about Jermaine's transfer to Bama.
I hate to see him leave, but playing with Bryce in the Bama offense that showcases its WRs seems like a better situation than at UGA for Jermaine.
If Kirby wanted to retain Jermaine, he should have done a better job of convincing him why it would be better to remain at UGA. For instance;
-make the case on how UGA's offense will be better for him than Bama's offense
-make the case on how Stetson will be better than Bryce at targeting him
-make the case on how Jermaine's TD receptions will be equal to Bama's top receivers
-make the case to Jermaine on how he would receive just as many targets at UGA as he would have with Bama
It appears that Kirby could not present an attractive case for UGA's pass offense that could convince Jermaine to remain at UGA.
Kirby is going to have to fix this somehow.
Go Dawgs!
Agree with you 100%.
Next season, we will ask ourselves why he couldn't have had WR numbers like those at UGA?
Just watched the 1976 UGA/ Florida game. When they guys played for the love of the game not to play at the next level. Pretty crappy situation today. It will kill the sport.
