I hold no ill will against the guy, but to point out that his accomplishments were noteworthy enough that we missed him at Tech is probably not accurate.
Again, two things:
1. I'm not pissy. I am simply calling you, and anyone else who says the same thing, out for demeaning the accomplishments of a student athlete. You can argue the merits of quality difference between divisions, and whether or not an athlete is deserving of said honor, but dismissing him out of hand because of his school is silly.
2. I never said we missed him at Tech. I was refuting the OPs assertion that no former Tech transfers made an on the field impact with their new team. Vad clearly made an on the field impact. As for missing Vad, I was one of the first voices saying that I thought we'd be a better overall team with JeT running the offense.
@Supersizethatorder-mutt and I held this very conversation shortly after Vad transferred. But whether or not we "missed Vad" was not the point of my reply.
All this to say, I don't know why EB is transferring out of GT. I really don't care unless the reason proves to be troubles within the team itself. Every individual must do what they think is best for their future. I hope EB finds success wherever he goes, unless he goes to uga. With his talent level, it's very possible we will be hearing more about him one day.
