Jermaine Burton, Mecole Hardman speak out on transfer from Georgia to Alabama
Former Georgia wide receiver Mecole Hardman shared his thoughts on the transfer of Jermaine Burton
Comments
Hey, I feel the same way, when we play them I hope we shut him down, but every other game he plays I hope he balls out of control. Its his life, Go chase what you after young man. Bet on yourself!
My advice, stay healthy and you’ll get more catches.
I don’t understand all the angst about Burton leaving. No one can deny Bama has had four first round WRs the last two years and maybe Williams this year. To put Burton in that company is a stretch! To even suggest he is a thousand yard receiver, even more so.
If he was in the same class of the Bama first rounders, he would have gotten many more targets. Those guys were virtually impossible to cover and spent their college careers running free in defensive backfields. Many of Stet’s runs were pass plays with no one open and Burton on the field
The much more likely scenario for Burton at Bama is he will be the same receiver he was at Georgia.
Bama had 5 receivers move on to the NFL SINCE 2020. Metchie, Williams, Waddle, Smith and Bolden. Get it right, since you guys can't seem to repair your website.
My God, where's the pride?
It's $$, pure and simple. He THINKS he will get more NFL attention by catching passes from the Heisman winner. I don't think it's a good move, but as he said, it's his career. If our WR room stays healthy, with all the new guys coming in, we'll be just fine. I'm sure we've got at least a couple of Bowers and McKonkeys coming in that we just haven't seen play yet. Get Hines to coach them and it will be a scary position group.
Do I wish he stayed? Yes. But he has to look out for himself. We don't criticize who we receive from the portal, so we shouldn't criticize those we lose. But I still don't like it. Wish him the best in his stats.
Burton is honest....he is not a team player....he is a Burton player...have seen plenty of this type. More power to him as they say. Have a romp with Bama until you again meet the Dawgs....then, well, you'll see.
Team and loyalty mean nothing to a lot of people in college football now.
Has anyone ever thought about what bringing him in says to the wide outs already at Alabama? Perhaps this move may encounter some controversy in Tuscaloosa…..🤔
Id rather have a group of guys playing as one as opposed to the Miami heat syndrome. Also, if Burton ends up thriving he would be the first nonqb to excel elsewhere after transferring from UGA
Hopefully, this is over and everyone moves on.
Please no more stories on this Dawgnation.
Being yet another college football player incapable of writing a coherent sentence, another possibility for Burton’s transfer could be academics.
@Vetdawg your statement is not true. Jermaine Johnson was the ACC Player of the Year this past season at FSU. Hardman simply asked a question. Burton has a right to answer any way he pleases -- or not answer at all. He did NOT, as the story said, make his reasoning clear for the transfer. Anyway, Go Dawgs!
Credit Hardman for speaking his mind. The Dawg in me agrees with him, but the fan in me sees Burton as in charge of his own destiny, and a guy who helped bring the natty to Georgia. And in that vein, I agree with Chris Milton- hope it works out for Burton... as long as it's not at Georgia's expense!
For many that may be true.....but not for Stetson Bennett! Go Dawgs!
Excelling at FSU ….. sorry forgot about the ACC.
if you look at the top receivers this yr in the NFL (kupp and Adams), they hail from power programs such as Cal State and Eastern Washington. These kids have the right to transfer to wherever they like, but with life all decisions carry consequences. Also, if these players get their feelings hurt now, wait until they get to the nfl and live completely under a microscope.
either way . I agree.
go dawgs!
