'25 GA S Lagonza Hayward (Florida)

[SagginVawls]

Well that's a kick in the nuts.

So much for his whole "I remember who recruited me first" bit. Annoying, but it is what it is.

 

[JCVol00]

This is a terrible loss any way you spin it, he was going to be a day 1 contributor, or at least be a contributor by the end of next season. Bad bad loss for the staff

 

[headhunter15]

Our best db this year was a portal guy

Don’t think that’ll be the case year in and year out. Still have to recruit and develop elite high school talent.

 

[MarcoVol]

You can't rely on that though. Ask fsu

FSU has good players. Lacking in program culture.

 

[MarcoVol]

I don’t understand why we have all these players who really looked no where else all summer, didn’t visit anywhere during season and then 10 days before signing day they want to leave.

Has been happening in recruiting since the beginning of time

 

[JCVol00]

No worries guys, we will just get another project who wont see the field until his rs jr year at best and will waste a scholarship spot in the mean time!

 

[Weezer]

Wonder if anyone else decommits? I mean, other than Smith.

 

[SGMVols]

The best DB, WR, TE, OT, and arguably DT on this team are all portal guys

Yes, you can depend on the portal to build a team

FSU sucks because Norvell sucks as a coach and they don’t have a qb, that’s it

 

[PowerT.]

You can’t keep relying on the portal do build a roster. You have to recruit and build through highschool to maintain success. Portal helps you fill gaps.

How can you be so young yet so damn miserable? Grow a sack

 

[BbwVol]

Another problem relying on the transfer portal. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying the sky is falling. It's just a big loss.

our HS recruiting is just fine.

Smh

I agree other than Dbs and oline

 

[Weezer]

Huge loss IMO. Think this kid is gonna be good, and it's gonna suck seeing him be good somewhere else. Probably Georgia.

Frustrating seeing our one good db commit leave, gotta think, I was in 1st grade last time we made the seccg

lol by all means, go on and worry. Meanwhile I’ll trust the guy in charge (who has taken us from train wreck to competitor in short order) to figure it out.

SECCG literally doesn’t matter anymore. We’re in the playoff. Be happy we are back

Needs to be changed to a regular season championship like basketball

Too bad they won’t do it

 

[mitzustu]

Headed to UF. They are rolling. Insult to injury.

The part about FSU’s QB is true- don’t know why they went with DJ. But I do believe in some development in your program. You can’t just rely on the portal every year. Bru is in year 3- that takes development. Our QB, RB, 3 OL, a bunch of DL, LB, and 3 in the secondary are all recruited guys. Plug and play.

 

[SGMVols]

No, they will get a transfer who will be in the 2 deep from day one

UGA has never wanted him. I think UF

I hate to use them as an example because of the weak schedule they’ve played, but Indiana brought in 30 new guys this year and it worked out well for them. New coach didn’t hurt either
