Kirby Smart expects, understands heavy football loss in Georgia, don’t panic
ATHENS Don’t panic in the Georgia Football building, and certainly no surprises.
Coach Kirby Smart has often said that part of acquiring elite talent is inevitably many players qualifying themselves for the NFL draft as underclassmen, especially with many starting their careers as early enrollees.
So it was an expected reality that the predicted 2022 NFL Draft first round picks Travon Walker and Nakobe Dean would forego their senior years, and likely Lewis Cine would also leave early on the second day (second or third round).
Those announcements all came on Friday, along with news that George Pickens, a potential first-round NFL voter, had indeed considered himself for the 2022 draft, as DawgNation first reported Thursday night.
The four talented underclassmen join a group of nine outgoing seniors, eight of whom have already accepted Senior Bowl invites.
Zamir White decided to leave on Friday and will likely be invited to an all-star game, if not the Senior Bowl, possibly the East-West Shrine Game.
Smart also said last Tuesday, the morning after the Bulldogs defeated Alabama 33-18 in the CFP Championship Game, that players would leave and some would go to the transfer portal.
Well, have several kids… go to the portal we’ve had conversations with that stopped that, out of respect for the team, Smart said.
I loved that. Well, have that. Everyone will think that’s terrible. But in some cases it is even a good opportunity for children.
Indeed, and with the COVID-19 allowances no longer in effect, teams are expected to have to go back to 85 scholarship players.
That’s a balancing act for Georgia, which Smart says has 16 or 17 early enrollees on scholarship and on campus.
The Bulldogs are expected to have more attrition this weekend.
That list in the portal currently includes:
CB Jalen Kimber
CB Ameer Speed
CB Lovasea Carroll
DB Latavious Worry
WR Justin Robinson
W.R. Jaylen Johnson
Smart and Georgia have been active, albeit very selective, and have also spoken to players in the portal.
I know people don’t understand, but other teams are 10 days behind you because they’re done on January 1, your competitors said, Smart said. And you go, wait, what are they doing? They were trying to win a national championship.
Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett is one of those who may or may not be back with the Bulldogs. Bennett said he will only come back if he can trust the decisions made by Smart and the UGA coaching staff.
