Even with the transfers there’s an insane amount of talent in the DB room
Wonder why he left AM? Hope he is a good fit to the culture and he better be ready to work his tail off.
Rumors of home sickness, it happens. That’s what brought Arik back and we saw how that worked out. I am not thrilled that CKS is pulling in so many TPs. Hard to ignore talent, I get that, but last thing we want is a chemisty lab accident like Bama went thru this season…Kirby says his team is not about entitlement, I believe him. If these kids TP’ing in have to earn the field, go Dawgs…
I agree. Unsure how I feel about all these transfers. And this one was suspended for breaking team rules last year. We’ll see.
He had repeated team rules violations. The final straw was him and a few others smoking weed in the locker room
Puzzling why Kirby would take a chance on this one but if the Brenton Cox saga shows us anything, this kid will be on a short leash. I hope he makes the most of another opportunity to get it right
Had a feeling this was gonna happen when announced the portal. Kirby really went hard after him last year.
Any team who has enough NIL money can buy a recruiting class. TA&M proved that with the highest rated class ever.
Signing players is one thing – developing those players is another.
Smoke will get developed at Georgia. Looks like a great addition…
