It's 2025.

We live in a world where Georgia fans invent "We didn't want them anyway" narratives around 5-star QB commits they expect to lose to Vandy. from 247:

"I’m not worried… Gunner has 1 more year, then Pugs will be amazing… then Wade.

Curtis seems to have a lot of Carson Beck in him from personality standpoint. Sure lots of talent, but wants to be the man immediately and he paid and then spend it on stupid stuff to feel a need that won’t be filled by stuff. Let him go… we have what we need."

But we can also say we chose Brandon over Curtis. There are tiers to this. Vandy isn't Tennessee.

I won’t co-sign not wanting Curtis, but it’s not a make-or-break signing. We wanted Arch. We wanted Raiola. We had a good shot at both but ultimately got neither. We might get Curtis, or we might not. We have guys on the roster now that I’m excited about and we have guys committed that I’m excited about, too. Can’t miss on all of them, but neither does UGA have to sign somebody this year.

Curtis has flipped before and he may again. I want him to end up where he wants to be—both for his sake and for UGA’s. If he signs in Athens, one of the guys currently on the roster will probably leave. I don’t want him to come for a year and then leave. He isn’t going to be handed the starting job.

My guy you don't go, "I'm not saying I didn't want him anyway but I didn't' want him anyway."

You've got guys who haven't even signed yet hitting the portal. What's the temperature really like in Athens?

The current discussion is more about not running off someone who is expressing an unpopular opinion.

There is a way to do it that doesn't offend the locals. Try that. Don't expect to be thanked, admired, or affirmed for it. When you say something, say it again, and again, defend it to the death, get mad, and then threaten to leave it's just tiresome. Then it always falls to the standard range of complaints...echo chamber, contrary views unwelcome, just being real, etc. Ad nauseum.

You bring occasional bad news but generally do it in a way that doesn't bother me. "Basillio said...". Done. I honestly haven't stalked your posts, so maybe this isn't true, but I don't remember you defending it, or patting yourself on the back when it proves to be true, or getting mad or offended when people attack Basilio. You don't make yourself a target. Some do. Then complain bitterly that they are.

There’s more talent than minutes. Guys will transfer. That’s the reality we live in, and it happens every year. If players want a starting spot no matter what, it’s probably not the right place for them. If Curtis wants to start as a freshman, that’s going to be very hard to do. Identifying that issue now is much better than identifying it in 10 months.

I think Curtis is very good. I hope he signs. If he doesn’t, the sky isn’t falling.
