NIL $ucks.
I don’t even care anymore
Isn’t that special…guess he isn’t as excited about Mediocre Mike as some of our fans.
Capt. Dribble off his own foot is gone? Yay! I bet he averaged more turnovers than assists.
Demary was not a true point guard, I'm sure there's another thats eager to take his place.
Big disappoint, but he almost left last year. Our biggest weakness this year was the absence of strong outside shooting, and Demery was part of that problem. I frequently thought Demery had the ball in his hands too much. Despite this you can't question his heart because to wants be more successful. I hope he stays, but with better outside shooting and point guard skills. I don't understand those who are down on Coach White. He's not the best, but he's the best we've had in a long time.
Just sick and tired of all the transfers. Don't even like to look at these sites anymore. I love the way we are supposed to support our athletes when they cut and run at the slightest chance for more money.
I wonder if this is a financial decision or he just wants to go somewhere else ? Bc if UGA just isn’t supporting the basketball program NIL wise it’s not going to matter if Bob Knight comes back & is our coach. Not that White has a clue. Bc he doesn’t
Best we’ve had in a long time? Mediocre Mike has a lower winning percentage than Mark Fox and his Georgia best T-11 pSEC finish this year would tie him with Mark Fox’s worst finish in the SEC while at UGa, so if you mean Mediocre Mike is the best we’ve had since Mark Fox, I’d agree with you. Certainly Georgia with all our resources and in-state talent deserves better than a coach who is almost as good as Fox…
Once again, the fans are paying the price. I heard so many stories during the ncaa first round about players that are playing for their 4th college team. That is ridiculous. There should be a limit set to this transfer portal mess. This is only teaching these “kids” that if the going gets tough, just run away. Well, the real working world doesn’t work that way.
Fond memories…sure. I've been a big critic of Mike White this year, but it's impossible to cobble a championship team together when these so-called team leaders constantly have one foot out the door. If you manage to sew together the right pieces you might go on a magical run. But it's not his fault. Demary has no chance in the NBA right now. Not a true point guard and too streaky a shooter. But this is today's game. Have enough money, buy a winning team.
This is the new reality of college sports. UFA after every season. Guys are grabbing the money and putting themselves in the best position to get exposure to the next level. Most of these guys did it in high school too. Are you surprised? It is happening all over. Did you blame Kirby Smart when the latest 5* player (Damion Wilson) left the football team?
NIL is making college sports (especially basketball) a group of haves(willing to excessively spend on NIL) and have nots (not willing to spend excessively on NIL).
UGA had a competitive team this year. Beat FU, St Johns, KY and lost to AU by 2. I'd say White did about as much as he could with what he had. The slow start against Gonzaga was disappointing. After the slow start UGA outscored Gonzaga over the final 30 mins. They fought to come back. That alone say a lot.
Well, that REALLY sux- I was hoping he would be a real leader for next years team but I guess NIL has ruined that for college sports
Not surprising. Perhaps we were a better fit for the NIT as a building block. Regardless if we returned to a system where a transfer had to sit out for a year it might slow down this mass migration for whoever pays the highest. As the rules are I cannot find fault with their quest.
As if one and done didn't make me not watch college basketball enough...
