    I didn't see anything meaningful discussed in here about AD.

    I see 9 catches for 134 yards, some good playoff performances on top of a high ankle sprain for this season.

    Is there more to why he transferred? seems like he would reasonably expect to be featured next year.

    Scheme? Staff issue? Texas throws the ball less than UGA....

    We are poor. He was apparently torn but ultimately an immediate pay day won out. Rumor is he got 7 figures.

    He's from Texas. Has a child there. We also don't really feature WRs and rotate a lot. He's very good though

    Guy is a stud. Only played in 3 games this year. Was by far and away our best WR when he played.

    Transferring for $, although the stated reason is to be closer to his son.

    This one hurts. Elitish player at a position where we lack anything remotely elite. UT is getting a good one.

    I do. I think a fuck load of money also helps, but everyone compares it to Darnell when its nothing alike. Darnell and his baby mom are together and she moved here with him. AD and his are not and I doubt she was willing to move to Athens to be closer to him. A lot easier to convince her to move to or around Austin from Houston than Ga imo. Its also easier to convince her when he has the money he's reportedly getting

    I believe AD wanted to be closer to his kid. I also believe Texas paid him a lot of money. Which he deserves. I am happy for AD and it sucks we won't have him for the 3peat.

    I thought the kid was in Dallas? If so there's plenty of schools closer than Austin, so money seems to make sense.

    I think he is significantly better and more valuable to the offense than Ladd. Plus, AD plays split end, whereas Ladd (and Lovett) are more slot/flanker guys. Arian is also better out of the slot. Rara would have been the only other proven talent on the outside.

    I agree Lovett is on par with AD, but they play different positions, so not a great comp.

    I love Arian's speed, but he is average at best in every other skill/attribute of a WR. He is also fragile af.

    Have we gotten word back on the facts/allegations in RaRa's arrest?

    I'll miss AD, but as long as Lord Monken stays in Athens, I'll have a hard time worrying about the offense.

    I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but not this part. Ladd was the only guy we used in the slot and at Z, ran every route, plus being used in the screen game and on speed/jet sweeps. We definitely need another X if RaRa is gone tho
