'24 VA LB Chris Cole (uga commit)

[Sos]

I believe we will see a good number of these UGA commits in the transfer portal within the next 2 yrs. When playing time isn’t what they thought it would be.

 

[NighthawkVol]

First time reading this thread since he committed. There are people here who think Tennessee’s performance against Austin Peay affected his decision.



We have some real “fans” on this board.

Every game is a showcase. Huepel doesn’t have a final 4 appearance or a state with UGAs talent. That means every visit and every touchpoint with top 100 players matter. TN didn’t live up to that yesterday. We either have a standard or we don’t. We want to be on GA’s level, then stop qualifying poor performances, and yesterday was, with excuses.

We can just enjoy where we are currently as a program. This is the best part. Fighting, scratching, clawing for wins. Close games. Underdogs vs the programs that currently set the “standard”.

I’ll take every W. Ugly or not.

Speaking of, that UGA program you want to be so bad had ugly losses to lesser teams before they eventually broke through.

In 2020, they were smoked by FL.
In 2019, they lost to USCe.
In 2018, they had 3 losses.
In 2017, they were smoked by AUB.
In 2016, they were 8-5.

What?

How can you say that when we beat them 30-13 with a very low energy output?

We didn't shut them out or score 63, so what are you talking about???

We weren’t getting Chris Cole even if we beat them 63-0. Pretty simple concept.

 

[GroverCleveland]

Anyone notice that during the commitment, his dad and the gentleman sitting next to him were the only two who did not clap or seem to have any celebratory reaction? What was up with that?

 

[Orange.]

GA troll shows up and tries to get everyone to watch the announcement that we skipped for a reason. smh.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Kind of forgot this kid was announcing yesterday, oh well

And when they realize Kirby is a terrible person who has no morals

 

[GVol1966]

Why in the hell did he show up this weekend end if he already had his mind set to go to GA

To see how bad we wanted him. $$$$$ change minds.
Evidently we didn’t want him that much

 

[Sos]

He is a dog… F*^k him. Good luck. & move on. I believe we’ll see him in the portal.

 

[onevol74]

Guess he did not like our pajama party.

I hope Chris krincole rides the pine into obscurity there

Man, my info was off surrounding Cole’s visit. I really though we’d land him. Turns out, Cole knew he was committing to uga but came on the visit because Lewis asked him to give us one last look. So he visited out of respect to his friend. He told the coaches and they still wanted him to come. He did really enjoy his visit. USC offered a significant bag, but the development at uga won out. The way the coaches handled this has us sitting soundly in second, so if there was a change of heart or a portal entry in the future, we are well positioned.

Cole has really good athleticism, can cover well and he reacts and gets downhill quickly. 40 times say he is a step slow and probably needs to add 15 pounds while getting a little faster to play at a high level in the SEC. High football IQ. Doubt we see much of him his first two years at uga. Will he have the patience to grind it out? Not a bad thing to finish second.

It sucks to come in second, obviously but this is really important in the transfer portal era. You never know what might happen in the future.

At least he told the coaches before hand instead of leading them on

Kirby has one loss the last 7 seasons to a team that wasn't good enough to make a NY6 bowl, 2019 USCe. Every other team they've lost to, other than his first year, was a pretty good football team. Honestly that is a level I'd like to get to, where you have to be a pretty good football team to beat the Vols. Think how much better last year would have been if we just held serve and beat USCe. We'd have probably been in the playoffs.

That's hasn't really proved to be true up to this point other than highly ranked QB's that were beat out repeatedly by a former walk-on QB. Everybody loses some players to the portal, but it's not like Georgia has been losing a ton of guys.

I don’t know how it compares to many others, but they lost 15 last year. 7 were 4/5 stars. 8 were on defense. 4 star edge, 4 star LB, 5 star DL. We certainly don’t lose that kind of talent.

Yeah sounds like a good dude, who is committing to play for a total a$$hole

My hatred for UGA far exceeds my hatred for Bama. Bama was the standard and for almost a decade. UGA just out talents everyone and acts like they've always been a juggernaut. Worst fanbase and coach in college sports.

Pretty sure every ranking for worst fanbase that I see is Tennessee/Ohio State at #1 and #2. As for coach, Kirby has a long way to go to catch Fulmer.

I’m sure that’s what you see on your doggy board. Shocker

Did he look at their depth chart?

This is very wishful thinking. Georgia has lost some players to the portal but outside of AD Mitchell (transfered for family) and Bear Alexander (personal) what highly sought after players are leaving GA?

They lost 15 this year in portal and according to On3 and 24/7 a number of them were very highly rated as high school players (check it out.) Logic dictates not all of these blue chip players they are signing this year will work out at UGA. NIL and portal make it too easy to go. We’ll see. It will be interesting to watch.
