Ahmarean brown has entered the transfer portal

[RhoChi]

Makes me wonder if it truly was "family issues". USC is further from florida than GT

Wow - sees a dumpster fire and wants to jump in.

 

[GTRock]

Well there goes your "to be closer to home" excuse...

Funny, we have a couple guys leaving there to come here, and AB leaving here to play there.

 

[smokey_wasp]

Who said anything about full support? If they wanted to transfer I would not publicly bash them. I am not happy that AB is transferring. But I am also mature enough not to need to bad mouth him about it.

If one of those guys transferred, Collins is the one who would get bashed.

Is that what we say to our inbound recruits?

 

[boger2337]

Or this is a Jahmyr Gibbs issue. Somebody else became the centerpiece of the offense, and he didn't like it.

Gibbs looked the high 4 star part in his playing time this year.

Ding ding ding. I think this one is a winner. I also think he realized his skill set would be an asset not a focus on the team anymore.

 

[boger2337]

I hate to say it, but in 2 years we won't even remember this. He doesn't have a QB at SC, he basically is getting the same type of HC in Collins at SC. He is also going to a team that will have equal or lesser talent across the board than GT.

I respect his decision. It just seems odd to be sold on the Kool-aid at SC. Miss State? Ole Miss? Sure. SC? No.

He would of fit in perfectly at Miss State in their air raid.

Of course not. We didn’t just fire everybody on staff. LOL.

My guess is there is something else going on we don’t know about and not just playing time.

Brown was one of the bright spots in a dismal 2019. I'll miss seeing him. Best of luck.

could be but the way the WR's played the last few games it could be CKD .

I keep hearing CKDs name pop up. I'm starting to wonder if there is some validity to it.

Its bad when the announcers of our games say our WRs were quitting on their routes and running them half speed.

Luke Doty will probably be fine for SC next year. A top 100 recruit who showed promise in his limited playing time. Assuming Bobo can hang on to Stockton then you have another top recruit coming in as well the year after that. They will be fine at QB.

In the W-L column there's a hair's breadth of difference. I mean, CGC preached worlds biggest transformation ever then promptly came in and went 3-9 with a loss to the Citadel. 2019 was a dumpster fire for GT yet we viewed incoming transfers as guys figuring they could help out. I think we should give the same grace to AB. USC(e) has money and sells out their stadium routinely. If Beamer is half as good as his dad, he'll find some success there.

I mean, comparing a program who fired their entire coaching staff due to consistent bad performance issues to a guy that retired from a Hall of fame coaching career is quite the stretch. You’re absolutely correct that Beamer. could turn out great. But it’s year 1 and he only has 3 years to turn it around.

 

[smokey_wasp]

I think we are still way ahead in terms of what we have lost and gained in the portal, but it's naive to think it won't bite us from time to time. No ill will.

Why a program is a dumpster fire matters not. In either instance, a recruit is entering a situation where there is not a lot of assurance but with the possibility of a fresh start in a "new" system.

From one bad program that is an afterthought in its home state, to another
