Kirby Smart not looking to ‘manage’ transfer portal in wake of Amarius Mims’ departure
ATHENS —Kirby Smart isn’t one for using energy on things he can’t control, so his attitude on the proliferation of players entering the transfer portal isn’t surprising.

Kirby said it right. These are KIDS.
I'm with Kirby on this......Mims made his choice . Let him go...UGA has a "standard" he could not seem to meet at this time. Maybe somewhere else he can start without all the work involved and development to get more reps.....patience as well. You do what you have to do. This portal mess is a travesty. Has to be fixed.
Mims to Florida State may not be a penthouse to the outhouse scenario, but it certainly is from the penthouse to a 3/2 ranch in a very mediocre neighborhood!
If Mims does end up with the Seminoles, he had better dominate from day one or he will see his value diminished playing in the ACC compared to if he had waited his turn and played at least a year in the SEC.
“I really just focus on the guys that are here that want to be part of our standard and be part of our organization and the culture we’ve built, and that has to sell itself.”
Gotta note, though, that Kirby Smart is a pretty good salesman. ;-) At the same time, framing what's important the way he does is one reason he's such a good executive-style leader.
He tore a page out of the Marine recruiting handbook..."Be one of the Few, the Proud". Enter as a boy, leave as a Man. It's not for everybody.
“I’m worried about the ones that want to be here, not the ones that don’t,” Smart said. “I don’t really think you do a lot to manage the portal, because those are decisions they have to make."
Says it all in a nutshell, right there! Do what you can with the one's that want to be here!
Go Dawgs!
