So Kentucky is a player now in this NIL world of NCAA Football.
Never again will we SUCK. Some schools will do well and some wont. We will.. they wont.

Thanks @Grumpyolddawg for throwing us a bone! We can definitely use some Georgia studs on this side.
He was in the 21 class, someone here said the 20 class was the last class with covid option. The 23 season was his 3rd. I just can't remember if he RS in 21 or not. We played alot of people, but that year we had a ton of LB talent
I can't tell if that was a dig or not. I just tried to give the best description of them I could and to be fair with it. We actually had 4 LB transfer, one to Arky who played a little, another to FSU who started a handful of games but didn't produce much and another to GT who I didn't know was on the team. And of course JDJ.
Don't think it was a dig but a compliment.
As an aside, I'm very envious of GA's OL class. That's a type of class UK can only dream of.
And, while no one was watching, GA hired Donte Williams away from USC to replace Fran Brown. Williams is a highly regarded young coach who is a helluva recruiter. Good job!
Thanks, I don't know how good the OL will be but there are some huge kids in the group. The only one I have seen play is the kid from GA. and he has some serious conditioning work ahead of him. Well all do probably but this one needs to drop about 50lb. May need a couple this fall for depth, but none, baring injury will be counted on, we have 6 returning that played lots of snaps in 23.
Losing Fran Brown was a blow, but getting hired as a head coach of a P5 teams hard to turn down. I am not familiar with Williams and was concerned about his coaching considering USC's defense. But got Muschamp and Kirby so it's covered. Did read he was a top flight recruiter.
No dig, intended.
Just a poor attempt at humor.
Of the 4 who have transferred, I think we are getting the best.
Williams may be more of a recruiter than hands on coach at this point of his career but he was USC's interim coach when they canned Helton a couple of years ago so somebody there thought he was pretty bright. Was known to recruit the SoCal/LA area with great success.
No doubt you did, He is a very good player and better teammate.. And no not a poor attempt, just sometimes my post are not taken how I mean by some that seem to be waiting for a misstep because I am a UGA fan posting here..
I think it was just a fun comment in response to someone thanking Grumpy for Pop.
Yeah!
UGA is the new Bama!
I expect we will soon see Kirby’s last name spelled: $mart!
I'm very excited to see this guy in Blue!
How do we think this will play out though? JDJ is a MLB and we already have Jackson there. Jackson is a run stopper who struggles in space. I've read the same thing about JDJ. Unless we somehow scheme around this weakness do you think both of these guys will start together and we try to get our 11 best on the field at the same time or does JDJ start over Jackson? If so, who would take the WLB spot? Rayner?

D'Eryk Jackson will return for a COVID season and start again at Mike LB. Pop Dumas-Johnson has prior experience playing Will LB at GA and will take over that position for Coach White in 2024. Daveren Rayner will probably return for a COVID season as the primary backup. Behind those guys, the younger developmental depth includes Jayvant Brown, Glenn Godfrey, Devin Smith, and Steven Soles, all very talented. Devin Smith will soon be a starter. Bottom line, we are better off now at the two ILB positions than we were in 2022 even though Wallace is leaving.
Good to hear about the inside blitz, Wallace was excellent when we brought him so hopefully it remains a strong point.
That slimely Hew Freeze made a comment about Kirby working the phones late Tue night to flip a kid from FSU that freeze thought AU was getting, and he had given a silent to Kirby a month ago. Didn't come out and say it but said Kirby was dropping bags, so what if he did, it's legal unlike it was when he was doing between hookers and OM. But much like Jimmy Swaggart he has repented not because it was the right thing to do, but because he got caught.
Makes sense. We are over the top on tackle to tackle even though many play the game largely in space now. If you notice what uga did with us this year it was play wide on the perimeter. We can’t do it.
I tried to be fair and honest with my opinion of JDJ's skills and give you guys an idea of his strengths and weaknesses. Will be surprising if he isn't on pre season all SEC team. Got no sour grapes to spew on him, good player who wants to play more snaps than he was likely to get with UGA in 24.
JDJ in the middle behind Silver & D Walker should mean runs up the middle will be quite few in 2024
