So does OT now become our biggest portal need?

[DaddyChad]

Are Simmons and Lott gone?

I mean I’m not sure on this bc I thought Mincey was back but both are supposed to be back. T West mentioned Lott specifically coming back in an interview after the bowl game.

Go get the center from Alabama let him be a guard and a backup center. Get the guard from Ga. that is supposed to be interested. Problem solved.

He gone! Coach Heupel won't play this game of change your dance partner once you get there. Dance with the one who brung ya! Don't forget he just told us I'm returning and now...
Get the point of being wishy washy?

I'm sure we'll take him back If he wants back. See Baron last year.

How about we get the best players regardless of where they are or what number of stars they had coming out of high school?

Nope! Baron didn't play with "puff the magic dragon" at the possible jeopardy to his teammates. Mincey cost his team with selfish weed moment. This is twice that we know of selfish decision making. If,just saying if, Heupel lets him come back if he begs and pleads. There will be one of the shortest
Leashes ever made.

Logic and reason are not welcomed by many here, my friend. Watch your step.

I never post in hope of remedial growth by the naysayers, but to provide balance for visitors to assure them the dark side is STILL a minority and will not go unchecked and are among “the everybody has them” segment of our fan base.

Before the Mincey announcement, I had a DB, and a DE as our most important needs. But now, I think it’s OT.

Yes, by far. We could use a transfer at running back as well. Sampson will need some help that can produce immediately.

Staff reaction to each and every guy exiting via the portal will be the only valid path to an answer. Managing to the 83 number is what it is. Until we have reason to believe that the staff does not have a greater than or equal too solution, already on the roster or by addition, negative speculation by a fan is a negative with NO VALUE ADD. Got to have a hole to fill a hole. Spring practice can POSSIBLY supply some answers, portal offers others. If we have a MAJOR hole the May portal could still be in play, especially with the networking among the players with some upwardly mobile talent seeing opportunity at a high profile program. Lamenting now is just plain weak.

It’s not necessarily negative. It just is what it is. Heaven forbid some of you be realistic. This will be a yearly deal with NIL. Decent/good players will leave and some here will be screaming it’s for the best, recruited over, rah rah rah. The reality is we’re gonna lose players yearly we didn’t wanna lose.

Tate Ratledge is not coming to UT. Another year at UGA or pro, thats his options at the moment. His sister is at UT and he trolled her a couple weeks ago with a post of a photo of him in Neyland. Not happening with him

So it would seem…

All-American Tate Ratledge announces he is returning to Georgia football for 2024 season

Georgia offensive lineman Tate Ratledge has made up his mind regarding his future, as the offensive lineman announced he would be returning to Georgia for another season.

With Lott, Thomas, Hobbs and Eason I wouldn't consider DT a 2024 position of need in the Transfer portal...

 

[DaddyChad]

Welp supposedly Heard will visit this weekend after all. That will be Heard and Pounds and the kid from Kansas as well. Be nice to add two of those three

 

[VolBalla2014]

You guys are going to lose your minds if we don't get everyone that you want. I can't wait.
