'20 GA ATH Arik Gilbert (LSU commit)

[onevol74]

Gilbert has real issues

I hope not.

 

[Volitaire]

No need to get defensive, everyone. It’s just a fact.

Nothing like stating facts about a rival team on a Tennessee message board…. “ItS jUSt FaCTs”

I agree with you however the armor will start to crack and it has to start somewhere. With the recruits... they will see it or the boosters/admin will feel the need to replace Kirby if he’s not winning championships. And I hope Clemson beats the brakes off them the first game to shatter their confidence and dreams.

I hope they lose by 35. Lol

Nothing would make me happier than Clemson embarrassing UGA week one, well maybe Miami pulling off a miracle but that's not happening

I'm for whichever result helps us in recruiting, if it even matters. I'd like to see Clemson head down the crapper so we can regain that recruiting ground we used to have

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Cool.

How many championships have they won with all those 50 4 star players on their roster?

They must have won 1980. That's the number I keep seeing.

Gilbert has real issues

I feel sure his REAL issue is that he just hasnt been able to catch some sweet passes from his buddy Bailey. That issue, at least, Huepel could solve right quick.

 

[Nashvegas31]

What do you know? These are just rumors you are saying.

Not trying to call you out, but I've not heard anything like this in regards to him. He's actually ahead on college credits and everything.

Josh Pate from 247 last year had mentioned there are some very serious off field issues with this kid that everyone hopes he figures out. It has been mentioned a lot on LSU side it’s drug and mental health related. Its so sad when a kid hasn’t even gotten his career really started before screwing it up.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I hope not.

Agreed. Although it certainly seems like he is dealing with some things. Hope it’s nothing bad and he can get it worked out.

 

[Mrpeabody8888]

We want no part of the Gilbert mess. His issues are too much trouble, for a new coach to deal with. I’m not sure he plays anywhere.

 

[goooooovols]

The fact that Gilbert has big issues doesn’t mean Kirby is “losing the team”. Lol they have like 50 4 star players on their roster. We have like 20.

Is there really that much of a difference between 3 and 4 star players? I seriously don’t think so. A 2-3 star rated well coached Cincinnati team gave Georgia everything they could handle… happens all the time.

UGA, Bama, Clemson are recruiting on a whole different level than everyone else.

bailey isnt playing here

Exceptions don’t prove the rule. While strange games like that happen every year, it’s not the norm. Teams loaded with 3* players typically don’t win anything of significance. Data doesn’t lie. The teams with the highest rated players usually win the most.

Cue the meltdown.

A good Georgia is a way bigger issue than a good Clemson by default.

 

[Dudleys87]

Am I the only one that isn’t impressed by Pickens? Sure he shows flashes of how good he can be but more often that not he disappears.

If he committed to playing hard every play he could live up to the hype placed on him.

He got locked up by Bryce Thompson

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

He got locked up by Bryce Thompson

He gets locked up by a pre-K spelling test.

 

[Dudleys87]

He got locked up by Bryce Thompson

With an injury. Pickens just isn’t Green at Georgia level dominant.

Not trying to call you out, but I've not heard anything like this in regards to him. He's actually ahead on college credits and everything.

I haven’t heard anything with regard to drugs, that’s just speculation on my part, and maybe unfair speculation. But I have heard he has real deal mental issues, like bipolar, psychosis stuff. I certainly don’t have any insiders or anyone official telling me this, but I‘ve heard this from LSU and Georgia folks and it’s not exactly a secret in Twitterland.

And let’s connect some dots…, LSU, not exactly an arbiter of virtue and morality, not only allowed him to walk, but sorta held the door open and handed him his hat on the way out. Soon after, he commits to Florida who was wide-eyed and willing to accept what many bill as the next Kyle Pitts, and after only a few days of accepting his commitment, there was a weird, unexplained decommitment and Florida completely stopped pursuing him. Then he commits to UGa and now weeks later, he’s not with the team. Something’s up with the young man and it’s deeper and more complex than a bad attitude and indecisiveness.

Yep, we should always pull against GA, even more than FL and AL imo...we used to get alot of great players from that state and we need them to come crashing back to Earth and start going 8-4 again

 

[ACvol3]

Cue the meltdown.

Is he pronouncing his name right? I thought it was pronounced Eric… he’s pronouncing it a-reek

 

[Adam Sandler]

They will still be equally as good as they have been without those four.
