    That’s a Bad, Bad scenario, losing Both Beck & Raiola !! But I will say this don’t underestimate Gunner Stockton. I think if and when he’s givin the keys to the O he’s gonna surprise some folks !!

    The other thing is one would think FSU will be losing some folks to right ? So that would even things up some depending on what positions they lose. This Portal stuff will drive you nuts if you let it. Guess we’ll just have to see where the chips fall. Go Dawgs !!

    Raiola would make a Huge mistake going to Nebraska !! And I mean Huge !! Their a dead end road. It’s his life and choice but he’d fare By Far better to come to UGA. But like all of us he will have to do what he thinks is best for His life, I sure can’t knock him for that.

    College football has been destroyed...there is only greed and more greed in this ceeespool

    Why in the world would Carson Beck even think about going Pro? He has one year full time experience at QB at the university level. The Media is falling all over itself trying to bait players with the next greatest thing. Media is part of the problem with where the sport is today.

    Schools and Coaches brought this on years ago with allowing coaches to not honor contracts/commitments. Passed those options right on down to players. Why not!

    It's a mess and only the strong $$$ survives or competes. Reap what you sow.

    Maybe Raiola realized at Buford the south is another level of football. He’ll be playing top notch talent every week once he starts (assuming he redshirt) and he’d rather go to Nebraska, play early and play lesser teams and put up huge stats.

    Division One, major college sports, especially football, are an out of control dumpster fire! The frightening thing is we only see the black, acrid, oily smoke rising above the fire totally unaware of the numerous toxic elements fueling the growing blaze. Considering that those responsible for controlling & extinguishing the flames are blinded by their own greed & desire for more wealth, power & control, I fear that what arises from the ashes will resemble “Hydra” the multi-headed offspring of Typhon & Echidna with poisonous breath & blood so putrid & virulent, even its scent meant instant death.

    Beck leaving would be a mistake- Bowers going is a no-brainer but Beck needs another year. Raiola moved here to play at Georgia- if he did that to his family and THEN flipped, I don’t think we want him at Georgia anyway

  • kylnmeg10kylnmeg10 Posts: 542 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    The raiola thing, I'm not shocked. Like stated elsewhere, he's been to 4 high schools. If he flips. It'll be his 3rd commitment. If we get him, great, but also it's kind of a double sided sword(fields). Not enough playing time and he bolts anyways.

    And like other people have said, Beck should stay another year. He's not quite there yet. He faltered at the end, either by play calling or quite possibly falling into the chatter about how good he was.

    And I like the thing about Leonard. He's a tough kid. I watched the Duke/Clemson game and the kid has heart.

    Personally I don't think Beck leaves but if he does Gunner Stockton won't miss a beat, he will be an exciting QB to watch IMO. As far as Raiola goes, put yourself in the mind of a teenager, regardless of what he does the beat goes on. Everyone in college football is dealing with this insanity, Pandoras Box has been opened. The game us old guys grew up watching is gone, my interest is waning as well. Yawn....

  • BrooksieBrooksie Posts: 645 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    My interest is also waning. As days of old you could cheer as a player worked his way into a starting position. It still happens but is getting more rare as time goes on. If they are not part of the starting rotation by their 2nd year, they just might move on.

    if rules don’t change, I can see there being tiers of teams where the top teams always pull from the portal to get a proven player and the lower tier teams almost become a developmental league.

    im not against players having options and getting paid, but it seems like there is no loyalty and any rules associated with transfers and NIL only help the teams with the most $$$.

    the “sport” is now a business and it will become harder to be engaged if this continues

    College football is rapidly turning into a circus act. No commitment should be looked at as a sure thing. NIL has made college football much like the NFL, in that if a team wants a certain player, then that team and its boosters and the NIL collective will come up with a better contract than the other team. I suspect that if Raiola does a deed flip, he will take some of the top commitments with him; at least that's the speculation from some of the top pay sites. If that comes to fruition, the conjecture and speculation is that Georgia's class will lose its number one ranking and fall to as low as sixth, with fourth being most likely. All of this is occurring on the cusp of early signing day, but it is what it is until it isn't.
