You inadvertantly admitted to everything.



Honestly, that's much better than openly lying about the situation. Recruits and parents aren't stupid. When they see obvious lies trying to explain things, that's going to make them question.

You'd be better off saying that Georgia is going to get the best RBs and play the best. The others are going to be left behind and that's best for the program. Pretending kids are playing more than they are...or that it's a good thing that they aren't playing...or that they don't want to play...or (worst of all), they have a chronic groin injury that prevents them from playing more but not bad enough to sit and heal are really, really bad arguments.

In the end it won't matter. Neither Emery, nor Emery's dad are going to read this and change their mind. This is a fan board. I just don't see the value in coming here and being dishonest about the depth chart issue. Next year is going to be even worse with Emery and White. It's going to make an already overcrowded situation more crowded.

I’ve never implied anything but that. My point is that the Swift carries situation is not absurd. It’s actually easily explained.

Yet here we are, talking about a UGA RB’s carries in 3 lopsided games.

When UGA starts playing SEC games, against better competition in closer games, then we will see how many times Swift gets the ball per game.

If that number stays around 5-10, I’ll get the worry there and would absolutely bring that to Emery.

I think we should be saving Swift for our more important games so I’m all for keeping him healthy and letting him show out later.
