    This was a bad idea from the get-go.

    I wish the young man the best as he continues his journey. I hope Kirby and company learn that when a kid passes up the opportunity to sign with Georgia initially, do not give them that second chance. I am saying this as my opinion to say they did not want to be in Georgia from the beginning. If they did, they would have signed the first time. Plus, Georgia has proven they do not need players out of the transfer portal. The team went 13-0 and is playing in the CFP. You get better buy-in from players you recruit than out of the transfer portal. It shows trust and the coach's commitment to making them better players.

    Of course, we can't really do anything more than speculate. Considering the amount of support that he appears to have gotten at UGA, part of me wonders whether it's a matter of needing to be in a smaller program with less pressure. That doesn't make much sense, though, as even a college run at a smaller program is something you'd think would be geared toward the LEAGUE. I've said more than once here that we don't have any right to his business, but you do wonder what goes on in people's heads sometimes...

    It's a good theory. I'm not sure it adds up with his teammates' celebration at his touchdown this season, exactly, though. I'm also not sure that CKS would have kept someone who didn't meet the standard on for so long, or go out of his way to tend to his needs. So, maybe there really is just something going on with the guy that doesn't have so much to do with his behavior or entitlement. Unfortunately for us, just like with the question of how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know.

    I'm surprised Mike didn't find a way to get Jeremy Pruitt's take on this subject...

    Brings back a memory....back when I was in the dating scene.....I met and dated so many talented, beautiful women, invariably most were like AG, Butterheads......everything was GREAT, But Her Head. I can't imagine where he'll go but I do wish AG well.

    I completely get where you’re coming from on this. I would ask you to think back to when you were 18 and ask yourself if you wish you could have had a mulligan on something.
