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?
Crushing?? Crushing from a recruiting view, not from a fans view of the program. This guy is a mess. I mean, he was suspended ...TWICE... from his HS team this year, including one of the finals. Who does that?? With someone as 'talented' as he is, how could...or WHY... would a HS coach suspend his likely best player on the team...TWICE???
UGA doesn't need distractions, they need solid, dependable people that will make good decisions.
It all comes down to " Coley ", these players are tired of being put in a position to fail. You can not be great in college while running a high school offence. Every team in the playoff runs a wide open system, maybe they are on to something.
We Easily had the most talented and underperforming OL in college football. Pittman was a fun guy and great recruiter, but a mediocre on the field coach. In fact, the players were agreeing with me a week ago when they talked about how active Luke was at practices compared to Pittman’s passive and carefree approach. I’ve never been impressed with our OL, especially with all their talent. As the ESPN analyst observed a few days ago, the Sugar Bowl was the best performance by UGa’s OL in over 2 months. Pretty impressive since we were minus 3 starters. Sounds like Matt Luke gets the credit for this success. Go Dawgs
Yeah, 2 years ago... Son gets a new coach, and now he wants him to transfer. Let me reiterate my point from earlier. Shouldn't have even wasted uga's money on him. Not UGA's fault that he didn't pass chairfolding class at UT. Guess Fulmer must've bailed him out then like he's trying to do for Cade now.
This is just too much
