plenty of freshman qbs have played sec football and done well. barring injury you get 2 years from Nico and off to the league if he is what everyone says he is.
with NIL and portal, counting 2 years out is fool’s gold imo. Different than it used to be. If Texas or ATM or USC Oregon want to buy a significant contributor they can. I see it happening that if a team plays another the following season they could be enticed to buy a player to improve...
who cares, 11-2 doesn’t mean squat in the sec. . What that means is you didn’t play in a championship game. I don’t get why people think this is some badge of success especially since the Vols couldn’t build on it. UGA got stuck with the 1980 tag because they went 10-3, 11-2 multiple times...
Look at the recruiting rankings for the 5 years prior to Kirby, Georgia was 12, 12, 6, 7, 9 contrast that to the Vols - 17, 21, 5, 5, 15. Not a lot of difference, make no bones Kirby was the catalyst for UGA.
