It'll mean culling two from the current roster.

UGA could sure use a Playa (home state for Noah). Tom just might feel the burn if this next season if his group doesn't show major improvement

Come on down to T'town.

They aren't being considered. The decision is made so let's put it this way. They weren't being considered.

Are there any allowances made for the Covid extension?

Are there any allowances made for the Covid extension?

Yes, applying to the three who are leaving; Petty, Jones, and Reese getting an extra year without penalty. They 'could' have 16 theoretically.

There's still the 13 cap overall when it comes to the under-classmen.

Bama

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Gurley scored 15 against Bama this past season and 21 against auburn last season.

The 21-22 team is going to be deep.

So who will be leaving?

So who will be leaving?

So, this is the roster as it stands at the moment with these additions.

Ellis
*Gurley
Rojas
Quinerly
Shack
*Wilson
Ambrose-Hylton
*Burnett
Gary
Miles
Primo
*Bediako
*Davison
*Holt
Tchikou

While Oats loves what Rojas gives in effort, I would suspect he might be on the move. Who would be the other?

Tough question, because I saw talent in every one of our bench players last year. Whether it was speed, agility, athleticism, hops, they all had something I felt would contribute.

I can't get over how much talent he has brought in. These last few transfers I'm not as accustomed with, but Davison is gonna be a fun one to watch. Him, Quinerly, and Shackelford are gonna destroy some teams this Winter.

My major concern is our defensive loss in Herbert. We are sorely gonna miss his length. Weren't many guys, even NBA talent guys that could shoot over him last year and he was also able to kill their driving shots with that same length. Maybe coach will take that into consideration?

Gurley looks to be a more athletic Bruner to me.

 

[alabama mike]

Nice additions with the transfers.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Everyone wants to see upgrades in our talent, but I hate to see kids who have committed to the process rolled out. It's part of the growing pains of building a perennial championship caliber team, but it's still tough.

 

[mando]

I would speculate Rojas as well but there were some cleanup players that would likely go first.

On this Gurley kid he may come in and be the best of the group. Say that basically because he brings experience. That is one thing we were losing with Petty, Jones and Reece. Will need some leadership when things get tough. Not sure if Gurley will step up but he does come with a little more seasoning on him.

Roll Tide!!!! "Can we just be a championship school" Nate Oats.

Seems as though Langston Wilson has decommitted.

Seems as though Langston Wilson has decommitted.

It really kinda sucks, but I hope he finds a new team, or does another year of JUCO (which is an option), and ends up better off down the road. Seems like a really good dude who had to overcome quite a bit just to play the game. I think he'd have been a fan favorite in Coleman...
