Anyone else think Kirby is already starting to leverage and sell kids on building their brand as a way of getting compensation via the likely upcoming rules change where players can get paid for uses of their likeness? Pretty damn slick if he is..


Any recruiter worth their salt was already doing this for life after college. With change coming, it’s an easier sell. The marketing/branding opportunities in the ATL area are much greater than Baton Rouge/NOLA.

Coca-Cola (Powerade) is headquartered in Atlanta. I would imagine that would be one of the first companies to test the waters along with Gatorade, Nike and the other apparel companies.

Since no one else seems to want to say it as it pertains to the branding, Atlanta is a black mans dream for marketability. Seems obvious that's what he's trying to say without directly saying it. Tons of avenues to get involved in whatever ventures appeal to you. Seems he has bigger dreams than football.

The shitting on LSU part is just a kid trying to rationalize his decision when he really has nothing pertinent to say. Same thing Jarrett did. Upset because coaches leave then UGA loses coaches(even though it was pretty well known Coley wouldn't be back) and it's no big deal. In other words, he bought what UGA was selling. It happens
