Imagine a Two TE set with Washington and Bech, yeah i know Bech is more of a wideout but still


Bech isn't "more of a wideout", he is 100% a goddamn wide receiver that should never be lined up as a TE again in his life.

I believe we got Jacob Phillips day before signing day, and he wasn't a problem.

I don’t care what they do in their careers, as long as we shut them down when we play them.

Bud, the majority of coaches going against bama would prefer to hold advantages over them in position groups. We are going to be playing guys at DB who weren’t exactly our first choices due to discipline and transfers.

Yes I would rather Garner and Brooks and whoever else playing db matched up on a bama true freshmen than having them matched up on jermaine burton

He wasn’t an issue to the team. He wasn’t complaining about reps or touches. He went about his business throughout the year when he could have been a major distraction.

Him not being loyal to a high or college doesn’t mean he’s not a good kid either. People switch jobs all the time for better situations. It doesn’t make them bad people.

He has shown no loyalty to anyone since high school and the UGA fans I've seen, even before he declared, have said he's no a great locker room kid.


He's been an excellent kid. No groans and moans. Suited up every week and gave 110%. He just won a natty, he can go somewhere now where he can get more than 26 receptions. He's too good to get 2 catches a game.

Brennan was on pace to pass Burrow up in the stat column before his injury


Thats fine. But it was 3 games. The only 3 games Brennan has ever started. He's still unproven as a QB. On top of that, it's a new offense under Denbrock. There's a lot of unknowns. If you're Burton looking to show out in a draft year, Bama with Bryce Young is more of a known commodity than LSU with Brennan or A&M with Johnson. So if Alabama is after him as reported, that's my guess on where he ends up. But it's just a guess. Don't take personal offense.

just added FSU


FSU has already picked up two transfers from cali(Johnny Wilson & Mycah Pittman) that i believe played in the same area as burton in HS so this would make sense

With that being said i would love to take him here and with him already having a relationship with hankton seems like we may be in a good spot

Pickens was the knucklehead in Athens.

Burton left LSU at the altar on signing day, so there is some justifiable ill will.

Word on the street is that Burton was also a knucklehead. Teams can have more than one.

Believe he also switched high schools a few times, maybe even once midseason? Guy is a journeyman and hasn't even been to the pros yet

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at USC with Caleb.

Will the stacked WR corp at LSU scare him away is the question.


Scare him away...?


Idk if you've compared our WR room to the school he's leaving (UGA's) but our's is pretty thin relative to theirs. We could use him more than you think with Koy Moore, Deion Smith, Alex Adams, Devonta Lee, and Trey Palmer having transferred and/or in the transfer portal.


We currently have 6 scholarship WR's with 2 coming in:
- Jack Bech 3*
- Kayshon Boutte 5*
- Chris Hilton 4*
- Jaray Jenkins 3*
- Malik Nabers 4*
- Brian Thomas 4*
- Kyren Lacy 3* (transfer from Arkansas)
- Landon Ibieta 3* (2022 Class)


That's compared to UGA who has 14 active WR's and 4 coming:
UGA Scholarship Distribution


Edit: Forgot Devonta Lee hit the transfer portal

Why bother with the star rating? Bech being a three star in high school doesn’t mean shite.

Also not sure what the frick you’re looking at, because Brian Thomas Jr. was a highly rated 4 star and Lee is in the portal.

The Georgia fans in this thread and my friends who follow UGA closely, all disagree with you.

Looks like it will be Bama according to our insider. He'll be elite in that offense.

It’s odd to me that he’s not listed in the 247 transfer portal tracker yet considering it’s been like a week since that was reported.
