Transfer Portal: Who's Coming and Going (2022 Roster)

[smokey_wasp]

Suddes is no longer on staff at GT. Not saying him following someone doesn’t mean anything though.

I don't think this is true. I think we would have heard.

 

[Heisman's Ghost]

Keep believing that.

I intend to as losing games means a whole lot more than any other factor.

 

[Billygoat91]

I'm apparently out of the loop. When did that happen?

Nothing happened.... Just sensationalism going on...... Goodness, we are all in full meltdown mode

 

[CINCYMETJACKET]

Since he’s finishing his degree first, I really can’t fault him in any way for this decision. He must have worked hard to be able to graduate in 3 years, and by all accounts he was a great teammate. With a Tech degree in hand, he deserves a chance to see where his football career can take him before setting down. I wish him nothing but the best, and (as stated in his farewell tweet) he will always be a Tech man.

There is also the possibility that Yates is looking to pursue a graduate degree that Tech doesn't offer, or other schools have a program better suited towards his specific interest, or he just didn't get into Tech's graduate program for his desired course of study. Has happened before with athletes at Tech...

Just thankful for Yates' contributions to our program and wish him the best in his academic and athletic career moving forward.

Sims lucked out he didnt face that ND and UGA defense or we'd be writing about 5 more INTs easy. Guy is a turnover machine

He needs a QB whisperer, the kid has all the talent you could hope for. I really hope we land an OC who can maximize his potential

 

[Roswellgoldmember]

Wow. Lame post.

Yea, pathetic.

 

[JacketFan137]

Yea, pathetic.

y’all have to keep this same energy for the anti-sims brigade. yates is a good kid, plays hard and have nothing but positive things to say about him as a person but we have to be honest that he was the back up for a reason.

yates mistakes are ignored and everyone wants to run sims out. makes no sense and is unfair to both

 

[JacketFan137]

Am I the only one that finds Yates transfer reassuring? If Sims was transferring out or Pyron decommitted, then he would still be a solid backup, but if both return, there's a good chance he gets bumped down to third string QB.

yeah i think this says sims is staying. hopefully he does. a new OC some o line talent and he could be great. i still believe

 

[HouseDivided]

I’m sure his uga bound

He had a pretty nasty split from his commitment with UGA from what I heard. Doubt he ends up there, but wouldn't be shocked either.

This new transfer rule is Armageddon for college football. They players leaving teams are a rapid pace. Like all the experts are saying they aren’t going to be enough spots for these kids to. Most will not be heard from again. It good for players like Gibbs that’s done good with there previous team but it’s not going to be good if you are a player that’s hadn’t done anything for a few years at your previous school.

The people in charge of there school rosters management is sure as hell going to earn every dollar of their salary nowadays,

I agree. For some they will have a humbling experience of their “open market value” isn’t near what their self perceived “skill level” is when their phones aren’t blowing up with multiple offers from various schools asking them to come play for them. However that may be a good wake up call for them to dedicate themselves to their academics or to their team and make the most out of their current situation. If their current coaches forgive/forget without processing them out due to the player “exploring options”. Tricky so make your choices wisely.

Somebody better tell him

I don't think this is true. I think we would have heard.

I stand corrected. Who was it that left to join that marketing/PR firm?

For some reason I thought it was Suddes. Obviously wrong though. Apologies.

That was after the first season I believe. His name escapes me at the moment (I have zero interest in looking it up), but CGC used to joke about having to mention him in every presser according to their working contract.

It was like Stancito Stancoto. Outstanding graphic designs plus a mafia consigliere.

i wish yates was better but he just wasn’t close to good enough for this level. hope he goes to KSU

He may have been good enough for this level but his OL certainly was not so we will never know.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

He may have been good enough for this level but his OL certainly was not so we will never know.

As we nit-pick and argue about the ability of this athlete versus that athlete I am struck by the view from 30,000 feet that tells me there was not an athlete on this entire team who realized their full potential.

 

[GT_05]

I appreciate Yates and Sims but they led us to a total of 3 wins. Debating their merits at this point is analogous to debating if Jaws 3-D is better than Jaws the Revenge. Yates is leaving so I really hope Sims stays with us and matures during the off-season but I’m not ready to hang my hat on his future performance. CGC needs to do some magic and find us a great QB.

Or provide proper coaching to a great QB that we may already have
