Excuse me? I'm not sure what this comment means but I have to guess it is a dig at the South. You do realize this is the University of GEORGIA playing in the SOUTHeastern Conference, don't you? The greatest school in the toughest conference so yeah, there is some pride here, in the state and the conference.
And no, I do NOT wish him well at another school. In his life, sure, good luck, I hope he earns his degree and makes a good living using it but I hope he regrets this decision every day for the rest of his life. I do not wish anything bad on him but yes, I hope he realizes what a terrible mistake he made when he jumped ship.
I get it when you are number 3 and just can't get past the studs in front of you because they are just better and will be there your entire career but this kid had everything he needed to be successful. I don't for a second buy the notion that his playing time would be limited UNLESS he came back expecting something based on the past and sat back and tried to coast. If that was the case, then he wasn't what we needed. If it was about money, it is not what we wanted.
I'm over it. He walked away from the opportunity to be a part of history. Best wishes to him.
Buh bye.
Your particular bias is showing.
In an ESPN article about him, he said UGA wanted him to be a third down player for pass rush, but he wants to be, and thinks he has the ability to be an every down player. Says he'll get that at USC.
Bear quote from ESPN:
""I feel as if there wasn't a significant amount of snaps [at Georgia]," Alexander said about why he entered the portal. "I was more of a pass-rush specialist in year one, so coming into the spring, I wanted to be in a position where I could show my versatility as a player. I felt like I wasn't able to do that at Georgia. I was a third-down specialist, and I'm more of a first-, second-down player. I can play every down."
By his own words, interpreting, the issue was others above him that he didn't want to fight through. (Plus the money probably.)
I couldn't care less about this selfish player. He supposedly got into a fight with team mates-NOT a team player. You need to cut out the cancer for the team to thrive.
@EricDawgs21, as an educated "Proud Southerner" you can take your Confederate comments and go join Bear somewhere else.
It's all about race with ERICDAWGS1.
The portal giveth and the portal taketh away. We can all wonder what might have been but, no one should lose sleep on any of those transferring out. If they don't want to be here.... get out. This program is in now in a position to be picky not only about talent but also about "fit" in the locker room. Based on the comments I have seen, Bear was not a "fit". His comments reflect a sense of entitlement. He is complaining about not getting enough snaps on a team full of talented players that had put in their work over the years and earned it ahead of him. The kid was a freshman but sounds like he thought he could show up and take snaps away from others who put in the work based on his star status. Is it surprising that he chose USC - a team that ranked 117th in defense nationally last year? Big fish. Little pond. Limited work required to get on the field.
Another thing to consider is we're still over on scholarships. CKS and company know what they're doing, attrition has to take place, there's only so much room at the inn....
First three sentences, some new information.... the rest, pure cut and paste!?
Well stated, and VERY TRUE.
AMEN!
Plenty of African American men were also Confederate soldiers. Funny how easily some forget this FACT..🙄
