@lucydog…college football is really just entertainment. You're paying and watching a product. Now, I am an UGA grad, so I do know your heart and soul goes into cheering the Dawgs and trying to win these games. BUT, the rules have changed and the overall product has improved. The competition is better, and there are more matchups that are simply better. SO the entertainment product is better.
Just keep enjoying the Dawgs. From everything I have read, Georgia has just about as much NIL and Collective money as the other top teams - they just are a bit more particular about where and how they spend the dough. Spend it on Retention or TP? It will probably take a few seasons for Kirby to figure out the best combination of using funds to retain players and also get them from the portal. Also, the revenue sharing monies will be coming to all the teams sometime later this year, so that will add more $$ to the overall budget. We won't win all the battles for retaining players and getting transfers, but hopefully we will win out enough to remain a top tier team. But yes, it will be more challenging than previously. The best recruiting class won't necessarily bring you a National Championship any longer. You've got to retain players and get transfers too now. There won't be any more football dynasties that win Championships year after year. I think those days are gone for good. Bama's record run with Saban is safe.
Honestly, my biggest concern is that just like Saban, Kirby gets just sick and tired of dealing with the headaches and added stress of new college football landscape and calls it quits.
@1SICemDAWGS1 you bring up a very good point. OSU paid DL #33 and #44 to come back in'24 but are not interested in paying to bring back Kanu in '25.
He thought, "I'll see where I can get "a raise" and then go back to OSU for a better deal. " Only OSU apparently said "no thanks". Makes me wonder if he is worth what he wants. I also wonder if Justus Terry anticipated TX bringing in other DL from the TP that may impact his playing time?
IF you have watched the NFL and how teams deal with free agency you have probably noticed that big money NFL free agents usually wash out after a year or 2. Many times FA's do not live up to their big contract in year 1. It seems more times than not NFL teams regret the big contracts they give out to free agents before the contract is over.
I don't know how to take this article. Informational? "Whoa is me", UGA missed out on another transfer? Or, "you fans better start kicking in more to the NIL collective if you want to remain competitive"?
Its all good imo, developing our own has worked great so far, the process. Let's grow up some pups with huge potential, have some growing pains but come the last half and quarter of next season, we will have some beasts on the DL. Then come 2026, the DL should be a major strength.
Also, this was framed, I think, as a loss for Georgia, and maybe it was, but I really don't know how much or how little Kirby & Company wanted to win this battle. Regardless of our opinions on the players, and regardless of how they're seen by the ranking people and/or other teams, what really matters is how Kirby ranks them. If this was a big loss for Kirby, it was a big loss for the Dawgs, and for me, but I don't have any information on that subject.
Go, Dawgs!
As of yet, the kid is anunproven commodity. Your Jordan Davis's don't grow on trees.
of course he committed to UTx, they get very persuasive $$ when they want someone.
