Jermaine Burton transfer shows why Kirby Smart, Nick Saban warned others about transfer portal
Georgia football saw Jermaine Burton transfer to Alabama on Sunday.

Maybe if Kirby starts signing 2-Stars, nobody but us will want them.
Hey y’all Please forgive the waaay off topic on my part. I’m not a NFL fan ( I quit caring about them quite a few years back). I sure don’t care about anything coming out of L.A. BUT being as it’s a Dawg that is QB for the Rams and a possible Super Bowl win………. Well gotta pull for Matt Stafford !!
The move to Bama makes sense for Jermaine Burton.
Bama consistently produces one-thousand-yard WRs, but it’s been 20 years since UGA produced one.
The one-time-transfer rule worked for players like Jermaine, which allows him to go to Bama, where his skills are better used than at UGA.
Bama is a much better choice for elite WRs than UGA, but UGA just won a National Championship without elite WR or QB play.
The transfer portal does make roster management more challenging, but I am confident that Kirby will use it to make improvements as needed.
Go Dawgs!
100% of blame can be placed on the NCAA. The TV show Ballers was completely correct in calling them the most "corrupt organization in the world". The moment they gave Justin Fields a free pass with high profile lawyers like Tom Mars and giving in to fear and greed and doing it all behind closed doors - it was all over. Preventing kids with LEGITIMATE reasons to transfer only made things worse. The combination of that plus refusing to share any of their revenue forced the Supreme Court to allow NIL deals and the old college football is dead.
This year is definitely different for us - I don't recall players on our team transferred to SEC schools before and definitely not for Bama.
The Portal CAN absolutely be a good thing. If a player transfers from a Top 5 program and winds up in an unranked, lower tier school then it's a Win-Win. This means they clearly aren't likely going to be a starter and we can often free up a Scholarship slot.
I would like to see the coaches of Top Recruiting Classes (Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, etc) agree to not sign players from other Top Recruiting Class schools. This is in all of these school's best interests. It's not in Bama's best interest to take a Georgia recruit as we can also do the same to them. Top Recruiting classes have far more to lose than to gain. If someone like Burton knows they can't transfer to a Top 5 or even Top 10 school, they aren't likely to leave.
It's too late now but me thinks Kirby should have tried to score more points late in the third and the whole 4th quarter. I know it would have been piling on but look where it has gotten us as far as the best receiver's perception of UGA. We don't throw it, much.
The genie is out of the bottle.
This likely will not turn out for well for JB. I wish him well, but in the 2021 and 2022 recruiting cycles, Bama signed 7 players with 247 recruiting rankings higher than JB's 2020 ranking (#15). 5 of those were in 2021. Also, I'm pretty sure Bama still requires solid/consistent perimeter blocking by its WRs. Not a strong suit for JB.
Win some, lose some! I hate Burton is gone, but we will have some good WRs this year - GO DAWGS!
Hey Connor favor please. If you have this info readily available please post it. How many pass attempts did Stetson make Regular and Post season ? If you’ve already posted this I apologize. For this post I just need to know the number of attempts. Thanks in advance.
SB 280 pass attempts. Roughly 20 per game-Young basically double that.
I bet Stetson alone not counting JT made allot more Attempts than some might think. I didn’t say completions. So why does he throw to Brock Bowers so often ? Well because Brock Finds a way to get open. And if the ball is even vaguely catchable he Will catch it. Why ? Because he’s willing to stretch out to catch the ball which is many times very painful. Also willing to take a wicked hit he Knows is coming !!
So to all the WRs already at UGA or considering coming to UGA are you gonna Compete and Challenge Brock to have more balls thrown your way ?? Or transfer ?? Or decommit ?? If your those later two sounds like your afraid of competition for passes against a TE, albeit he’s a Fantastic TE and you might end up Watching him on Sundays !!
No QB that I know of can throw the ball and catch it to !! It’s the WRs responsibility to get open and then catch the ball when it’s thrown to him. Had George Pickens been healthy at 100% I’m confident that he would have cut pretty deep into Bowers number of targets. George is Willing to stretch out to make the catch or like Bowers take a wicked hit. That’s why he to will play on Sundays.
