Obviously not a coach, but as a fan I am happy with what we have. At the very least, we have 3 heavily recruited QBs who WANT to play at UGA. You can’t buy or teach that! Stetson was a walk on and turned out okay. Chances are our backups can do the same. They’re practicing against some of the best in the country everyday. Iron sharpens iron.
This young man has handlers. Maybe his parents TELLING him what to do
-after the bowl game “I’m coming back to UNLV”
-a few days later - transfer portal
-a few more days - GO DAWGS!
-a couple of days later- USC has always been my first choice
-this time next year- the cycle will start over
Ok….. you win
best comment I’ve read !
Kirby's still looking for another QB. These other teams better look out when the next transfer portal opens. There will be options available...
OK please take my comments with a grain of salt. This Might have been a blessing, his flipping. A ship has to have an anchor else it’ll drift all over the place, also needs a good compass to guide. Sounds like he has neither at this point.
Second thing is more of a question than statement. Kirby is a Big Believer in training young guys up. I mean he’s stated that a gazillion times during his tenure. SO again just a question. Why not go with the three Scholly QBs you do have and Train the Preferred Walk-On guy up ??
C. Ginn should be listed as a Very Preferred Walk-On as he Would be the starter at Allot of D-2 schools and Might even be at some lower tier D-1 schools. I don’t mean to beat this drum to death but he did lead 4A Perry HS to a State Championship win.
He’d be your number Four guy, couldn’t he be trained while he waits behind Beck, Gunner, Puglisi ?? Then you’d have Four guys that Really want to be Dawgs and Really give their all !!
Kirby knows Much More than I do. And in Him I’ll trust. But as a dumb recliner coach I don’t get the hysteria to find another scholly guy This year. With ALL ( and I mean that) due respect to Puglisi if you lose Both Beck and Gunner to injuries the 2024 season would be in Huge crisis anyway right ??
Puglisi would give his All I’m confident, he’s a great athlete and will probably someday be great but he’s to inexperienced. That said there’s little to no Assurance that Even a scholly QB could salvage the season IF Both Beck & Gunner went down just sayin……
Follow the money.
Time to put restrictions on the portal
Someone finally read the tea leaves... A Mountain West QB in the SEC? Dude, this is the major leagues here; we play big boy ball down here. It's better to leave now than after an SEC defensive lineman or linebacker plants you on the backside and you have snot bubbles coming out of your nose... As Dirty Harry said, "A man has to know his limitations."
I'm guessing the final push was from Bear, "it's too hard over there man, come here, enjoy the money, we ain't gotta win".
I think everyone - including the media - need to start using a different word other than 'commitment ' when a player claims he wants to come play for a team.
Why not just say that "as it stands today, I am leaning towards the University of _____ to start/continue my college football experience "....
Let's be honest, once the NIL Collectives get involved, the kid could end up anywhere.
“That’s something we have to think long and hard about,” Smart said in December. “Our hard number is four. We want to be at four, and we’re not at four. So again, we’ll look at our options and see what we can do there. We would like to be at four, but that’s our goal.”
I was surprised when this guy committed to UGA knowing he didn't have a path to QB1. I'm not at all surprised that he has decommitted. I cannot imagine any QB in the transfer portal who is worth having would be content with being QB4 (or even QB3). I have watched a lot of UGA football and I can't remember any time that a QB4 has seen the field during a game. Jackson Muschamp got some mop-up duty action in the Orange Bowl, but he was QB3 in that game after the departure of BV. The need for a fourth QB is for multiple practice drills so that all of the WR's and DB's are seeing action instead of waiting their turn in line. This is nothing to be concerned about, I believe we have a preferred walk-on QB who can handle that duty.
GO DAWGS!
Exactly !! Agree !! Again I’m just a dumb recliner coach. But it would seem to me that C. Ginn the preferred walk-on guy would fit that bill perfectly. Doesn’t Kirby remember Stetson ?
I agree. He was never going to be QB1 here. Even if Gunnar got hurt next year and then Beck got hurt he might 'temporarily' be the number 1 but we would quickly get a better transfer portal guy to supplant him.
I am not a fan of getting a portal guy unless he has QB1 potential. The walk on qb we have coming is probably as good as this guy. I'm glad he is not coming. He was never good enough imo.
So be it. Good-bye Maiava and Raiola. You both made the right decision.
We need quarterbacks who are ready to truly COMMIT and FOCUS and want to compete and win! We need quarterbacks who want to be part of the legacy Georgia Football is building TODAY and not what some currently unranked schools did decades ago! We need quarterbacks whos names we can pronounce! 😁 GO DAWGS!
I've seen the NIL reference several times as part of the reason he flipped. I don't know the finer points of NIL but I would doubt as a QB4 type talent there would be much in the way of significant monetary reward for his services.
