45 day period from portal opening this time I believe. RaRa is gone. Forget about his ***. Feels like Zavion is going to come back but we'll wait and see.
I’m thinking Zavion realizes he got some bad advice and may come back if we let him. But that ship may have sailed.
They can sign anytime they want. They are not locked in until they enroll. I keep hearing Z is going to Louisville. Heard nothing on Rara. I thought Z was coming back a few days ago. I hope he does.
RaRa has narrowed it to OM and UGA. It's going to be OM. If he can get over the sporadic brick hands, he will do well in that offense.
I suspect that based on what we heard at yesterday's Leach event, he wasn't very friendly to people entering the portal. Paraphrasing, one of the speakers said that in coaches, he looked for passion that translated into loyalty. I can't imaging that he had much fondness for unloyal people on the team. I don't know how you take a guy back who tried to leave. How can you expect that not to impact the locker room? His commitment to give the proverbial 110%, etc.?
There’s a window where the portal closes that aligns with the enrollment deadline at most universities. I’d expect them to name a suitor by early January-ish at the latest.
There's a portal window, but there's also a deadline to enroll in classes wherever they end up. So they have until that point to announce.
If any of our players have any ideas of using CML's death to extend the period to their benefit, I hope they just get out expeditiously and not lean on that. That would be a sign of a really sad human.
As Drebin stated the enrollment deadline is the transfer deadline. I think its odd they are not announced yet. Pastures must not be as green as they expected.
I would take Zavion back if he wants to come back. But I think the standard policy should be if you enter the portal, it's a 1-way street with pretty limited exceptions.
17'em, they "quit" when they walked into that portal to go find a better school, better deal, better team, better whatever, they QUIT.
I have more compassion than that. There are a lot of reasons kids think they need to leave, and most of the time it’s probably not that they hate their team or the school. Things change on them too— coaches get fired (Moorhead) and suddenly the system they thought they were playing in doesn’t exist, etc. many are trying to make it to the next level and want a system that works for them.17'em, they "quit" when they walked into that portal to go find a better school, better deal, better team, better whatever, they QUIT.
It’s a two way street.
Especially Dillon Johnson with the stunt he pulled entering the portal.17'em, they "quit" when they walked into that portal to go find a better school, better deal, better team, better whatever, they QUIT.
Agreed it will be OM. The portal will be their new Flipmas circle jerk and they will certainly pay more than he is worth to win the press conference.
Does Georgia genuinely have a spot for him? Not to come across as bitter, but while RaRa was clearly one of our better receivers, his 247 ranking would be one of the lowest from the last 4 years for UGA. It's just hard for me to imagine them putting together a lucrative NIL package for RaRa
He would be the third wide receiver for UGA. At best. But they throw to tight ends as much if not more. He's apparently a head case. telling both schools that he's coming. This may be an addition by subtraction
Rara was on again off again which is why he left. I imagine he wanted more praise than he was truly worth. Leach wasn't impressed with 2 or 3 good plays a game. Zavion or Elita? I would like to come back. I know for sure he wanted more receiver playing time and he woulda got it in 23. But we will keep on truckin without them
