Re: Kyriq McDonald, Scott Meyer, and Anoma Enter Transfer Portal

McDonald is an instinctive good athlete but IIRC he is 5' 9" which for a DB is a little too short for the position. I would think he has not progressed up the depth chart and wants to go somewhere where he can play.
Suttles seemed to indicate that McDonald couldn’t or possibly didn’t want to get it done in the classroom. Indicated he had failed multiple exams.

Re: Kyriq McDonald, Scott Meyer, and Anoma Enter Transfer Portal

Anoma had a death in the family that may be at play in his decision but I still think this is what happens when you waste a year of eligibility and never play a 5-star in meaningful snaps when you have no depth at outside backer.

I think we need to simplify the defense based on who we have on the roster.

Ben Davis and Anoma can't get on the field.....

Mack Wilson and Dylan Moses are ON the field and have no idea what's going on....

It's becoming a serious problem now.

In all fairness they asked Dylan to do CM’s job in the title game which he had never done. Why they didn’t just go with Jamey will baffle me forever. Mack is gone so next man up. I think we’ll be better in 2019 but we’ll just wait and see.

Ben Davis can’t get on the field because of Ben Davis, not because of the defense.

Say it louder for the people in the back.

Re: Kyriq McDonald, Scott Meyer, and Anoma Enter Transfer Portal

Let me preface this by saying this I Hope Anoma stays. I don’t really know the other reasons he is considering leaving, but it has been suggested the defense has been too complicated for him to grasp. I’ve read that in several articles. I really hope that has nothing to do with it, because he wasn’t alone. The failures of the coaching staff have been well documented. The reasons for changing coaches have been well documented. In HS football you can just do your thing and eat, because physically you are just better. It was up to the coaches to make sure the players are taught the scheme , techniques and skill set the players needed to play their positions! It was obvious that didn’t happen as well as it should have. I don’t think Nick really wanted to go into games rotating just 15 players on defense during meaningful snaps. The ‘coaching turmoil’ May be a factor in his decision, but the coaches coming in are better teachers. Just simplifying the defense doesn’t work, you can call a more simple game, but a players responsibilities will still be complex. It’s just Nick’s system.

Re: Kyriq McDonald, Scott Meyer, and Anoma Enter Transfer Portal

I think the responses from the two fan bases are different. Most Georgia fans said goodbye, good riddance to Fields. Especially when his waiver reason was leaked!
UGA fans still blame the SECCG loss on him like he called the fake punt and not Kirby:conf2:

As for Anoma I know someone on twitter had asked him back in December if he was leaving and he dismissed it. Crazy how he has changed his mind so quickly..

Unless he lawyers up and can prove circumstances out of his control. Being from MD, his best bet would be a school within 150 miles of there such as MD, UVA, Rutgers.

If he ends up at MD, I’d say this was planned while Locksley was still here. Really glad he is gone. Never liked him.
Never liked Locksley?

UGA fans blame Fields because Kirby told them "the play was there and we didn't snap it quick enough". UGA fans thinks that equals Fields fault and not a boneheaded call by their great head coach.

Re: Kyriq McDonald and Scott Meyer Enter Transfer Portal

Saw elsewhere his name is expected to now come out of the transfer portal. Interesting...
Jam (of recruiting board notoriety) said he was going through some issues and thought Saban and staff could help him get through. Whether he stays or not let's hope he gets some clarity in his life and can focus on school and football.

My hope and suspicion is because he loves Alabama as his dad does. I'm still pulling for Ben and if the switch flips he could make an amazing difference. But even if not, if he competes and works and perseveres through adversity and still sees no meaningful snaps but graduates from the Capstone then I will be proud of him. He's a really good kid.
