Very well said.
" Who knows? Before it's all said and done, he might flip back. Or, we may not care if we ever hear about him again. Go Dawgs!".......DallasDawg, my sentiments exactly.....He sounds just like Bear 2.0. Being the #1 TE having played for the Packer Hogs in Moultrie, GA and going to FSU, He can relish in the knowledge that he'll be a 5 Star HS TE for the next 3-4 years. I'm of the opinion that once a player commits then decommits, before he could ever recommit, he'd have to convince KS and TH his heart and sole was absolutely committed to The G!
"calls a 17 year old kid he's never met before "self-centered" and "afraid" if that's not being disparaging then you should probably invest in a dictionary."____@CClayC88
Reading is fundamental (RIF).....He didn't say Alexander was "self-centered or afraid"....he said, "IF THEY'RE too self-centered or afraid to face competition". Referencing ALL recruits and current players.
You are the one that applied those labels to Alexander, because you chose to read it that way....or because the labels fit, in your mind, so you assumed that's what he was saying.
The Poster is "not wrong" and didn't reference Alexander by name. Maybe you should invest in a book on English Grammer. Lol...and, the words "self-centered" and "afraid" are not "disparaging words"....they are descriptions of human behavior possessed by the vast majority of Earth's population. "Afraid" and "self-centered" can be a positive or negative... depending on application.
And...BTW...Alexander is from Texas...not Tallahassee. Doesn't mean he doesn't have a Cousin or something in Tallahassee...but, it does mean that Florida is not his "home". Just sayin'..
A person that sets out on a road and commits....then, when things don't go their way or get a little tough, quits and changes direction...is technically, "a quitter". If you find being called "a quitter" disparaging and don't want to be called a "quitter"...then don't quit. Lol
There are no family issues. They flat out said.. "he's leaving, because he's not happy with the amount of playing-time he's getting". Basically, the same reason Jermaine Johnson left...to go to Tallahassee. Mims also looked at....Tallahassee, before changing his mind and returning to UGA.
If I had to guess...I'd say, Florida St. is poaching the Bulldogs...and, now they've got TP/NIL to help em out. They'll get caught sooner or later.
"If he wasn't Bulldog material then why was Kirby recruiting him in the first place?"_____@CClayC88
Kirby has a "miss" here and there...just not as many as his fellow HC's.
I got one better, for ya....Why didn't UGA recruit Wil Anderson? Anderson wanted to attend UGA...but, Kirby wouldn't or couldn't offer him a scholarship. Why?
Nobody's "Perfect". Lol
DAWGS will be fine, no need to panic. If any position group can take a major hit like this, it is the loaded TE room at UGA. Best of luck in Tallahassee young man..GoDAWGS!
