    I hope things work out great for AG at Nebraska. I’m not very familiar with that program, I don’t know much about Matt Ruhle, and after two years at UGA I can’t say I know very much about Arik Gilbert. If they are successful with getting him on the field, he will probably be a game changer.

    GO DAWGS!

    (and good luck AG)

    Really glad for Arik, but if he sees the field early/often I’ll have a lot of questions about the standard Coach Rhule is putting in place.

    Well, the bar isn't exactly sky high. Gilbert probably walks onto campus already the most talented player the program has seen in years. If he feels like he's ready to go, what's Rhule got to lose by putting him out there?

    I will be watching to see if the new surroundings of Nebraska wakes this kid up. What a talent - it just seems like he has been walking in a fog the last two years. I wish him the best!

    Maybe he will yet find inner peace that would allow him to live up to his potential. Sorry it couldn't be at UGA.

    Nebraska is a long way from his support group.

    Yep, I hope he finds what he needs. My suspect is that he's going to find that football doesn't have the path he's looking for.
