What in the world is happening?
Everyone is freaking out with Fromm, and then Mayes, leaving the program. Relax - inhale slowly. Good. Now, exhale slowly. Repeat until your blood pressure drops to normal (or close). At sixty-two, I, a UGA graduate, have seen a lot of football. The ship is not sinking. We have plenty of talent on the offensive line, and will get a good QB through the transfer portal, should we wish. It is all about coaching and recruiting. We have a great coach who is an even better recruiter (same as Saban) who is surrounded by great recruiters. We will be fine - if you stop hyperventilating, for fans we need, if only to have the money it takes to hire and keep good coaches.
Makes zero sense and I'm pissed off.
Trash.

OK all you "chicken littles". You can't predict the future, why worry about it? It's only a game....
Feels like Jeremy Pruit has his fingerprints all over Mayes transfer portal move.
That's what you call purely reacting with emotion, he's sitting out a year with one year left. Not a very smart decision IMO.
Love some of the positive attitudes, JimDawg, and others. Things can change quickly, for the better....
Surprising we haven't heard the "crushing" news about Evans on DawgNation.
Dawg365......Herschel Walker regretted not coming back for his senior year....true. Heisman and natthy winner!!!! Fromm just wanted out...as most of the team and receivers are totally new. Fromm was at the end of his college days not the beginning. But, you can bank it that he talked it out with Smart first. So Smart has known for some time. Hitting the transfers. They keep a lot from us outsiders..we are definitely some of the last to know...lol I do believe we will likely lose at least three games maybe more. Just thinking. Kirby will be on the hot seat again. NCAA football is mercurial to say the least....you cannot bank on anyone! Very little loyalty except to the NFL.
Now this one was more disappointing than Fromm's exit.
While I'm not a chicken little, this one does hurt. Sounds like a family decision, but whatever the motivation, all this OL depth is being put to the test.
This one makes no sense. He likely would graduate in Dec or soon thereafter and would be potentially a top draft pick in 2021. Again, this may be more with house cleaning that CKS started after the LSU game. I personally feel Pittman moving on was a good thing. As CKS said after the Sugar Bowl, he felt the O-line had under performed all season. I think that's been the case for four years.
He will probably seek to be eligible to play this year. Since his position coach left?
Coach Luke has said he wants the OL to become more athletic and that is very good thing. That could very well be the reason for Cade's decision. The thing about road graders is they only move well in one direction...straight ahead. Very seldom did the Dawgs have numbers at the point of attack this year. Broderick Jones will be the perfect LT in Luke's scheme!
It'd be interesting to know what REALLY happens behind the closed doors. You never know on these type of things. Just like it's always best to be "laid off" vs "fired", it's always viewed as a players decision... but it might be that Mays was told that he wasn't going to start as part of a quicker-more-mobile OL. Who knows.
That was unexpected. Just curious... did this happen right after Fromm announced he's leaving? Is he home sick?? Strange.
You're right in 'you never know what happens behind closed doors', but I don't believe Mays would be told he's not starting at this point... I mean, spring practice hasn't even started. With all of the O-line attrition, they really need Mays as an anchor on the O-line. I do agree that our O-line as a whole was oversized & couldn't get out of stance quick enough to dictate where the run was going, but one lineman isn't going to make or break the philosophy of the O-line.
No offense and no football teams (2020) campaign can sustain the attrition that as transpired over the last 5 weeks on the offensive side of the ball...
We will be replacing 8 starters and 3 or 4 heavily rotated players this fall and potentially even one more Off Lineman (Big Ben)
Do you want proof of what happened this past year on our supposed dominant offense.... Please reference the two starting receivers and one starting TE that bolted early into the league along with a 2nd string half starter running back named Holyfield. .... This past years painful offense was dreadful and at times an incompetent attempt at keeping up with competitors fast changing and high scoring Off machines.... Ie. LSWHO!
Reality of the know:
Right now today the East has become a 4 horse race.... UF, UT, SC (All three hv returning QB's) and UGA . Yes are DEF will be a machine but Def's don't win championships anymore.... High scoring OFF's DO and as of today our offense is in SHAMBLES!!!
OK so Bleacher Report says Cade's Dad is suing UGA and a chair manufacturer. Apparently, Cade had his pinky partially amputated when he got it caught in a folding chair at a UGA event. He's expected to transfer to Tennessee. Could this day get any stranger?
