I can't say since I am not a member of the team. I will say that last year during the second half of the season that something was definitely going on with the team. They seemed on edge and no one was talking.
The one thing I've noticed is that most Georgia people take it personally when anyone suggest that there might be a problem. Even on this board just the mere mention of racism or (god forbid) BLM is met with threats
One thing to keep in mind about Reese’s transfer and request from the NCAA, the NCAA still hasn’t ruled on it.
So I think Otis is telling the truth about the things he experienced, but with UGA being so willing to share their findings, and willing to release them with Reese’s permission, it seems like it’s a NCAA issue as to why he still isn’t eligible.
I thought Otis said Kirby was doing something to keep him from getting immediate eligibility (paraphrase). Did I miss something?
So much assumption and generalization in that statement. How were the cops racist (playing devils advocate)?
You KNOW they are racist for pulling over a black man twice?
Ok.
Calling him out. I gotta blame this one on "Lame" Kiffin. He's always trying to stir the pot. He thinks he's so woke. Just gotta laugh.
“Threats”
No he mentioned Smart convincing him not to leave the team early.
Edit: He did say Kirby said he'd support his decision to transfer and play immediately
I said cops were racist? Didnt know I said that... 🤷🏾♂️
I think it's this suggestion that if a cop pulls over a black person, then it's racist. That seems to be one of Otis' primary claims. He was pulled over twice "for no good reason". My son said that all the time when he was that age and kept getting tickets for speeding.
But you're assuming he didnt say anything about racism there. What he did point out was he was pulled over, searched, and not only did he not get a ticket he also asked for body cam footage that they couldnt provide. Best I could say is sketchy. He pointed to two racist things that are fact based the cop stuff is ridiculous and sad.
Man, I really hope somehow everyone's able to come together soon. As a fan base, football team, nation. The division in our culture is so blatantly obvious its even showing up on college football message boards. I hope Otis has a better time at Mississippi where he can probably play more thanks to a lack of talented depth. I'm also glad that CKS has been so responsive to the social issues that our players have brought up to him during this past 6 months. It sucks that we won't ever really have a chance to know if these accusations are true or not (not the ACCPD accusations because I 100% believe that happened), but it will all be fine eventually. Kirby's the man for the job during these times, and I'm glad we've got him. Three days 'til kick off y'all.
A student calling you a name is not grounds to declare an entire university as an unhealthy or racist environment, or whatever they want to call it. I went to a primarily hispanic university my first year and was called all kinds of names. Otis is implying there is a systemic racist problem at UGA simply because he got pulled over a couple of times and some dumb-azz student called him a name and there was some vague whipping incident. Hardly the stuff that demands waivers.
@SoFL_Dawg how is this affecting recruiting right now ? Has there been any blow back of chatter ?
