A word of advice, once you know they are flipping don't do such an extensive article on them, it is not worth it to your readers. I don't care know about their production unless they become dawgs. Not bitter just not interested.
JMO - This is the way it's going to be from now on. A player commits, and then a desperate program or just a program with unlimited funds will swoop in at the last minute with a financial offer these "kids" can't turn down. It's obvious that Kirby makes a difference in getting the most out each player and a team as a whole, but a lot of players are just looking short term and getting as much as they can now. I wonder once these kids sign with a big NIL deal attached, how much motivation they will have. I also think that portal additions are becoming just as important as signing a great class. I'm not sure how much I'm going to follow recruiting anymore. Go DAWGS beat bama!!
I wonder if this kid even bothered to watch his new team play their arch rival last weekend…..obviously not (but I bet he can afford a new Lambo now)…..good luck up north
I don't think incoming freshman should get any NIL money until they've done something during the season to deserve it.
Unlike Curtis, I don't think this Marchese kid was EVER truly committed to UGA. He almost decommitted in June, but even when he publicly stuck with us, he kept talking to Michigan. And from other media, it seems that when reports surfaced early on Wednesday that Michigan was going to lose a prized WR recruit to Stanford, the Marchese camp REACHED OUT TO MICHIGAN to gauge their interest in him. So basically he (or his people) reinitiated the contact with the Wolverines at the same time he should have been signing with the Dawgs. I mean, as recently as Monday, he was still claiming he was a Dawg, but this tells me he wasn't all in. Did he get more money? Undoubtedly. But it's also clear to me that this kid really wanted to play for Michigan and as soon as a true opportunity to do that presented itself, he flipped to it. But better we find that out now because this dude just screams, "future transfer portal." Hopefully, we can find a WR or two in the portal ourselves who can come in like Branch did this year, and hold us over until some of the younger guys we signed last year and this year, and can take over. Go Dawgs!
This one hurts, have seen him play several times. He’s a player! Michigan got a keeper right from under our noses.
I don't disagree with you, but I really don't think he completes his eligibility at UM. He seems like a kid who can be easily enticed with more money, and someone is ALWAYS willing to pay more, even if they only have enough to pay one kid (like Maryland). I know it's not the end of the world, but I like to win at everything — even recruiting. So it bothers me when we lose a kid (or in this case, kids) who were committed to us for so long. But as always, Dawgs on top!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am so numb to flipping to us and from us. These kids are no news in my book until they play on the field playing big boy sec football.
until then…. Makes no difference if he’s a 6 star.
Not bitter, just tired of wasting time following this version of days of our lives
The hand wringing over these "commitments" will drive a man to drink. My advice is to trust who UGA signs and be done with it. We are spoiled with the Kirby Smart era and everyone wants more. And more. I get it. But enjoy the ride Dawg fans. The game has changed and Kirby and Co. will navigate it. We may not win every game, but we'll always be right there. Can't ask for more than that.
Parents.
$$$ always wins in this day and age! All this BS about relationships is just that; total BS!
It gives the guys something to write about when someone commits years in advance but like many have said that is just pretty words until their name goes on pretty paper
Yup. I jumped straight from headline to comments.
This is Kirby’s way. He will not pay premium dollars for premium players. So when UF, LSU, and Bama do, we will find ourselves with classes below the top 5. Then Kirby will lose games against equal equipped teams.
Best post of the year! Hands down!
Simple,,,,Direct… Agree💯
