Without a doubt. This rift started once Evans said Texas wasn’t ready for that next level. There was blowback from that to his HS staff. Clearly that staff didn’t communicate well with Evans and he was humbled on national TV; it could’ve been handled better.
Regardless though, the benefit of the doubt was given after the first physical altercation. You can’t do this type of stuff. He did the exact same thing again after having an “understanding from Kirby because he’ll shoot you straight”. That quote is from Evans.
Folks will be mad, disappointed, etc. Could our staff make it work? Probably. I think Kirby is sending a message to future croots and current players more than anything else. UGA has a standard, staff will support you to help them get and maintain that standard. They will be flexible and get you help but if you’re making the same mistakes, your talent will never overshadow what UGA is.
Finally, I think this is really bad timing for Evans too. Kirby has been recently frustrated with several players on campus for failed tests and academics. That fuse was likely short and then they found out Tuesday. Game over.
It would, but we really know that he is “Dancing on the Ceiling”
It was the hs coaches the entire time. They are real pieces of $&@! I’m hoping that program is run into the ground and the coaching staff is fired.
That coach doesn’t deserve to mentor or train anything living. He ruined a kid that wanted to get out of a bad environment and forced him back in. Speaks volumes.
zach I wish you the best in a your college career, and will hopefully cheer for you in the future NFL.
Here’s my question though: why? Do they know something we don’t? Do YOU know something we don’t? Like I understand the kid has had his issues but wouldn’t we rather him be our project than someone else’s? Take him and if he’s an issue then let him go next year. I just don’t understand
I took it to mean no need to go hunting when you already have THE bird in your basket..not saying they should have gotten Tank but that they were set already.
I’ve posted everything I’ve heard in this thread this morning. “Knowing“ is probably too strong of a description.
Staff knows enough to make a decision to “walk away” from a top 5 overall talent in this class. Not an easy decision I’m sure.
I always kinda got the impression that Kendall liked Zach and was cool with Tank but not itching to play with him. And that Mr. Milton was maybe annoyed at the attention Evans was getting when Milton was always solid and working hard. JMO.
You’re right, my bad. Read that completely wrong. I’m doing too much.
I mean, Tank is a DSGB...not sure how much him and a Cali guy would hit it right off.
I think Kendall would've gotten along with whoever else they brought in. Classy kid.
SoFl_Dawg - thanks for everything you do and post. It is disappointing to lose Evans but it is what it is. Time to move on. I wish others would stop hounding you about this. You have said all you can. I can’t wait til your next big scoop on a different recruit. Thanks again.
No thanks. IMO. But if Kirby and Dell want him I trust them. Think that bridge is burned anyway
Since you know what happened please let the rest of us know. I am not sure how you can talk about the coaches like that unless you have information the rest of us do not have.
