Go Dawgs!!! Just keep on winning.
“He checked the box every time for the right kind of kid, the right kind of competitor. He’s embraced the part about learning,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said of Puglisi.
Ryan Puglisi will quickly develop into a great QB as part of the best CFB program in the nation. We probably won’t see much of him in 2024 while Raiola is the struggling starter for the Cornshuckers, but after a couple of years he will eclipse Raiola as one of the best in the country. When a 4 star joins the UGA football program he should immediately be considered a 5 star because of the level of development that he will experience.
GO DAWGS!
You're missing the point. It doesn't even matter if KH had ANY influence on DR's flip. The fact is KH made the call to DR's dad and tried to influence a top recruit. KH took the initiative, that's really bad and unethical. It is not his place as one of the major voices of college football to try to influence a top recruit and it shows an obvious lack of professionalism and a major bias. The fact that he hasn't already addressed this means only one thing, he and ESPN are circling the wagons and coming up with denials, excuses, or both.
I still think we dodged bullet with DR.
If KH is guilty of something then let someone else deal with it.
We have an excellent QB room going into '24 and the best coach ever in CKS!
Go Dawgs!
I never cared much for herbsteit, too much mouth! I like him a little more, if this is true,,Raiola seems self centered, hey Dylan, enjoy that pass blocking ,,,I'm a Puglisi fan. He has all the attributes of a great quarterback. He'll fit right in and be a team player, like Beck. Go Dawgs!
I'm pretty sure the conversation went like this...."You know Dylan, you should forget Georgia, they don't pass the ball, Saban is retiring from Bama...you really need to consider a team like Ohio State or maybe Nebraska."
Lol he's still so butthurt from a loss in 1993. I hope the next GameDay is met with nobody in the background and boos on the side so loud that it drowns out his voice everytime he opens his mouth. As for DR he transferred from 3 high-schools in 4 years with 3 different commitments... good riddance. KJs flip from fsu when DR flipped to Nebraska told me everything I needed to know. I've never liked KH, he literally has the same dialog in every game, just repeats himself. The fact that he called a recruits dad should say enough/ he needs to be investigated and sent to CBS where he belongs.
Let this please be the last time Raiola gets coverage on this page. We’ve presumably got our team, and I’m far more interested in who takes the field to whip the Tigers than who bolted, transferred or didn’t sign. Beck-Stockton-Puglisi. Go Dawgs.
Exactly. Doesn't matter, which Teams or players are involved. Kirk crossed a line that "shouldn't" be crossed....if you want to maintain the illusion of "fair & unbiased" coverage. Whether it's true or not, is immaterial at this stage. The perception is..."he did it".
These days....if it's been electronically speculated on Twitter or YouTube or Facebook or any of a thousand Podcasts and confirmed by a "knowledgeable source",...it must be true...Lol. This will hurt his image, in any case. Which also effects his ability to communicate in the booth. You have to have the trust and respect of the audience, at the very least....IMO.
If it weren't true....I think we would've already gotten a statement from KH or ESPN...or, both. Due to legalities....it's "crickets". Lol
Herbstreit tries his best to appear objective and unbiased. He’ll refrain from making picks of the games he’s calling, sitting there trying to look humble and honorable. What a joke 😂
There should be some repercussions. There probably won’t, but some effort to maintain appearance of neutrality would be appropriate. Using that platform to criticize is one thing but to influence players to flip or transfer is another.
Go Dawgs !!! Beck, Stockton, Puglisi, DGDs and Ready to win Championships !!!
Herbstreet is and has been a piece of crap anyway. An arrogant biased mouth like the rest of the ESPN crowd. Pollack was the best thing they had and they were to **** and fired him.
Not a fan of Herbstreit or Desmond. However, I do like Reece. Also, McAfee really doesn't care about Georgia either way. He is just a showman and you have to understand the personality to realize he will do whatever he thinks will help his ratings. People watch him to see what stupd and outrageous things he will say. That's who he is. I am not a fan but I get it. He is college football's version of Howard Stern without the strippers.
As far as Nick Saban joining the Gameday crew I think that is a good move. Nick is definitely not anti-Georgia and I believe a big fan of Kirby Smart. So between him and Reece I think Georgia will be adequately represented on Game Day.
The only thing that matters is winning. If we are winning we will be in the conversation regardless. Just Win Baby!
IMHO dad might have been just trying to take some of the heat off of his son's wishy washiness. Sort of like, "yeah I wasn't going to try to influence his decision one way or the other but when freaking Kirk Herbstreet says dude ya gotta do this! You have to listen. He's like da Godfatha of College football for cryin outloud!
Herbstreit did this for only one reason, to weaken Georgia. Ohio State is trying to make a run, but this will not work out the way he expected!
Gunner will end up being a better qb than raolia and we may end up being juju.
Go dawgs!
HaHaHaHa! Godfatha! HaHaHaHaHa!
Best scroll of commentary in a long while. Herb is wed to OSU....does not like Georgia or the SEC. Not surprised he would pull a stunt like he did with Raiola. Same old Herb. LOLOL.
