    Is there a RB that we have been recruiting harder than others outside of Evans? I know there are 4 or 5 names floating around, but who is the guy that was next on the list? My gut says Chaney and I think we could flip him from the U way easier then even getting a seat at the table for B. Robinson. I truly believe that kid is all Texas. It's a shame about Evans though. I really hope that kid figures it out and lands somewhere that he can grow. You can have all the talent in the world, but your head and attitude have to be in the right place else you might not get to show it.

    If we earned an official from B Robinson I'd be surprised, and if he committed to UGA I'd be something similar to surprised but way more...

    Evans has rare talent, and it is way too bad for everyone involved things went the way they went. Time to move on. We're going to be fine, and we are still getting a physical freak in K Milton...Hindsight being 20/20 I really, REALLY wish we would have gone all in on the Georgia boy Tank, but I definitely see the reason we went hard in the paint after Zach. Sucks for all involved.

    If there was a physical altercation it’s the coaches fault? Without even knowing the details? Impressive

    Wait, are we really moving on from Ringo? Or is this fake news? I haven't seen this posted anywhere

    No. He was trying to make a point and used it as an example. He did use the /s.

    According to someone who's name rhymes w/ "Musty" - Evans is still a take. Makes sense as why else would they send Dell out to Texas.

    Fields absolutely made the right call - he was too talented to sit and anyone begrudging that kid and his family from moving on are just wrong. I know "the waiver, the waiver"....nobody on here knows the whole deal on that and some media hack put it out there - neither Fields, his family, Kirby nor anyone else official did - NCAA operates under a cloud and the transfer portal is what it is.

    Fields is ballin' - let it go and be happy for him. If you can't - that's on you.

    My 15-year old daughter - a die-hard Dawg, thank you - saw the Ohio State highlights as we were watching football Saturday, and huffed out loud. I HAVE NOT made any - ANY - comments about this entire situation at home. Just haven't - I haven't intentionally left it out of conversation, we just always talk Georgia and our players and rarely discuss anyone else (except Clemson - she will not wear Orange, and that's her call...).

    When I asked her why she reacted that way, her comment was "He was one of us, he was supposed to be committed, and then he left us. There's just something wrong with that..."

    My response (just to be contrary): "Can't you just be happy for him?"

    Her retort: HUFF..."I guess" HUFF...

    I changed the channel.

    That was her natural reaction. I am glad it was. Is that jealousy? Maybe. Is that sensing something is off about this whole deal? Maybe. Is that the wrong reaction for a 15 year old to have? Maybe. Is part of that loyalty to the Dawgs? Absolutely.

    There is a slice of reality where she can "let it go," and still not be "happy for him." I am OK if she wants to live there.

    Yeah after reading all of the takes since SoFl made that post... I'm going to reserve comment until we see what happens. I'm willing to believe that we'd give up on a player, if it truly results in a major altercation. I'm also willing to believe that they understand these young men are 17 years old and can make mistakes. If it wasn't isolated then I believe that it is justified. I have a hard time seeing our coaching staff giving up on a young man because of one incident, especially if it didn't lead to anything physical. But again, everyone, these are rumors, this is a young man, and you guys need to save your hate or vitriol for someone else. You guys don't know him or the situation. I hope that this young man finds success and maybe it comes as a Dawg, maybe it doesn't but let's hold off on the judgement of these young players, football is often all that they care about and can be very emotional for them, especially for the ones who are not used to losing.

    Yes, I read several of your posts regarding this topic. I've also read posts by others with as close of ties to the program as yours. They've all said to ignore what was said regarding Evans.

    Carry on.
