Jehlen Cannady, one of the surprises of G-Day, enters transfer portal
ATHENS — One of the more impressive players from G-Day, Jehlen Cannady, is now looking for playing time elsewhere as he has entered the transfer portal. Jordan Hill of Dawgs247 was the first to report the news.
Comments
Cannady looked okay. I believe he was a walk on. As a walk on was there a scholarship involved? With Singletary and Humphrey , the 2 highest rated CB's recruited in the '22 class, coming this summer Cannady's best option is to try to find playing time elsewhere. He has some skills. Good luck to him.
“The guys that want to be here, we’re going to coach them,” Smart said on the transfer portal. “The guys that don’t, then we’re not going to chase after them."
What an arrogant p***k. If they transfer IN, they're cool. If they transfer OUT, they're scum.
The Little General can be a pain in the rear at times. Why not just move on and wish everybody well. No need to do the "those that want to be here" dance as if they've violated some sacred code of Dawg Land.
Nothing wrong with what he said. It is true at any school. If they don’t want to buy in and work for their turn, they are free to leave and no use in begging them to stay. There are plenty of others that want the opportunity. That arrogant p***k also just guided the Dawgs to a national championship so I think he is doing ok. I think so called fans can transfer OUT as well, if they feel the desire.
I agree. And CKS comments don't apply to guys like Cannady. CKS was talking about guys that are on the fence and not sure if they really want to be at UGA and all that is required to be at UGA. UGA is a top program not much different from other top programs. UGA is probably differentiated by the family atmosphere and closeness of the team and coaches. But being part of a team/family has responsibilities. CKS is looking for guys all in for UGA team.
Cannady was a walk on. I never heard of him before G day. Like Tymon Mitchell I'm sure that Cannady would love to stay and play. But that just wasn't going to happen. UGA still needs to have a few more players transfer to make the 85 limit. Whether "encouraged" or not , Cannady made the smart move to seek a scholarship elsewhere where he can play. Same with Mitchell.
I can probably speak for most people here when I saw "**** Dude?!?". Go somewhere else.
Best of luck to you. As an unrated walk-on with a championship team, competition will be intense and not everyone can or should stay.
If he was not on scholarship, his departure will not affect the 85 limit. Regardless we wish you well on your transfer
MAybe he can pick up a scholarship somewhere else or am I missing something? We're over the limit as it is. So, a free ride and more playing time seems like a good deal to me. Good for him if he can get that.
Go get a scholarship!
This. I mean if we can't even offer a scholarship to Dan Jackson, who actually started games last year, and played well. Then why stick around? No fault in him wanting a scholarship. Good luck to him.
Best Wishes to him!
I was unhappy with this news until I saw that he was not on scholarship. Maybe his play during G Day offers him opportunities to get a scholarship that are not available at the University of Georgia. I do not fault him at all and I fully support his decision. I rarely agree with the transfer of player on scholarship. I feel that a financial commitment was made and agreed to but, in this case, do what is best for you and your family and be the best you can be.
Just not against us.......
