Transfer Portal 2023-2024...

[Bpilktree]

I want to be optimistic, but we don't have a DC yet and the players still have like 25 days to transfer. Agree that it's encouraging we haven't lost too much on the defensive side yet, but I imagine there is still a ton of work to do to solidify the current roster.

It isn’t really 25 days though because of school drop/add deadlines. You can go into portal but there isn’t anywhere for you to go. You can’t be registered at Alabama then do spring activities somewhere else. Once they past the drop/add period most everyone has to wait til Spring anyway til they can actually join with other schools programs. Now that doesn’t mean people won’t leave after spring practices when they see where they think they are but will open up portal for everyone in the country.

Yeah it’s horrible

Basically Kirby wants TRob for whatever players he can bring. Nothing more.

To me, that’s sad.

Latest Tweet from Low regarding Downs says he hasn't made a decision yet, and it depends on who we hire defensively. Losing TRob to UGA will factor in...

UW starting LG is in the portal. Bio says that he can play either G or RT.

I don't believe he was in the two deep on the depth chart and probably hasn't played much. However, he might have potential.

I think he would regret leaving. He’s the starter here. He has to start over there.

From what I have read, UW might have to field trainers next season at the rate of transfers and de-commits.

I feel kind of bad for them.

I feel bad for the fans of these schools. All this is taking the fun out of college football.

He's perhaps our best player on defense. He could be a captain.

And there is no guarantee that happens at a new place, no matter how good he is.

Downs would start day one at any school in the country

No there is no guarantee of that.

What’s sad is TRob being willing be used by Kirby in that capacity. If you were offed the full DC role and decided to stay at UGA that tells you all you need to know

It's a recipe that could blowup in Kirbys face. Things start going a tad bit wrong and TRob and G Schuman start butting heads, it could get ugly. Kirby's desperate because no doubt he saw how much they slipped from what was supposed to be a sure thing three-peat. They looked very human all season long...

That’s what I’m referring to. Basically you’ve been offered huge money to run the show here, or go over there and be co-DC just to be used to pull in Alabama’s players.

Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

His Tweets are almost always spot on. If he's posting it, Downs is gone.

Welp…huge loss in the secondary but life goes on

He may be the best defensive player in college football this year. He is that talented.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

Man. Downs is so so good. That's going to hurt

Entering portal and actually leaving are different things. Downs waiting to hear who our DC will be. So who is Michael and what has he said that was spot on?
