Players in the Portal [Official "They Gone" Thread]

[THWUGA]

Let’s be honest - for any kid who wants to leave, they should and shouldn’t be flamed for it. GT did not uphold its promises to them of what this program would be in 2022.

I think that has started to change, and will change more in 2023. But I hold no hard feelings.

I do hope another school needs a punter, however.

If you can’t play here where to you think you’re going? Clemson? USC? OSU? The Falcons? Back to HS to play? No.

 

[THWG247]

Sims is going to land at a decent P5 school. Hopefully for his sake he lands with a coach who can connect with him because he has a lot of raw ability.

interception machine, he would not fare well against SEC defenses. I hope he doesn’t go to a ACC rival, no doubt he would beat hell out of us

Uh huh….

As long as it’s not the first game of the season we play his team. He will be injured after that.

Patiently, waiting on a Shanahan announcement.

eff off.

 

[WreckJunkie]

eff off.

No thanks

I think Sims is going to get a lot of good looks. I think, with the right system (one that doesn't have him running for his life 85% of the time) he can excel.

I’ll put the same energy into rooting for him as I did Gibbs after he quit and left.

I won't be rooting for or against him. I'm just saying he doesn't suck as much as people seem to want to believe he does. He was the most talented QB that was on the roster.

Wrong. He was given the job on day one by a coach who has been proven to be a horrible talent evaluator. We have no idea if he was actually better. Give Any of the other QB’s as many practice snaps and game snaps as Sims was handed and who knows what they would have done. Pyron was clearly better in his first ever start after sitting the bench for over a year. The exact reason Norvell backed off is what we saw over a wasted 3 years. He has no feel for the game and defenses eat him up because his eyes tell them how.

Until he gets hit literally once

 

[JJacket]

I'm guessing, from Key's reaction after the Miami game, that Sims knew he better transfer. He had no home here.

Mccollum hurts a bit. I think he is making a mistake

 

[GTRules]

Same here. Won’t even take a lot of effort.

I actually think Nate will reconsider but hope it isn't too late

Is it ever too late? I mean, I realize the coach might not take him back, but is there a final date for when a player can change his mind?

 

[TechAKnee]

Nate is talented and has proven enough to test the free agency market. Like Gibbs I think he will get paid to join another program.

Damn you. I'm trying my best to not think Tech is just a farm club for the Haves of College Football.

When they commit to another team.

 

[Supersize that order mutt]

When they commit to another team.

Obviously then. I hope that's the only "deadline".
