Georgia LB in the Tansfer Portal
Brenton Cox, former 5 star. Any chance we go after or no? I've heard others say we're needing another backer.

Might as well since we won't be needing the scholarship on the grad transfer punter we thought we were gonna get.

Considering he was arrested for possession in April, and my UGA friends are saying he's been booted for drugs, "entering the transfer portal" is really his only option.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

What a joke that was. Dude was injured and only played in two games the season they are denying.
These guys just made a rule about 4 games giving you a redshirt ������

If the coaching staff wants him, and can put him on a tight leash, why not. Cole Smith could probably use a scholly though.

Cox has a bad attitude, told his coach to 17 off when he called him to ask why he was late.
Praise The Lord and Go Dawgs!!!

This is what I would do. Hell we got to take some chances since we can't compete with Georgia and ALabama for 5* players head to head. We have to get them any way we can get them. Even if it is a 20% chance he works out, we have to take that chance IMO

So you are saying he is Ole Miss bound?

He is going to play somewhere and chance are he will play against us.
I will say this I don't believe anything I hear about a guy. If I wasn't a State fan and didn't know the truth, all I would have known about Simmons is he beat the shit out of a girl ans stay away from him. There is always more to the story and usually someone has butt hurt and the full truth doesn't get out.

Back when OM was riding high on recruting, I would say it would pretty much have been a guarantee that they would have pursued him. Like I had said in the past, I think something happened prior to the COI Hearing or possibly while it was going on, but more likely prior too. The NCAA investigators had enough evidence that they could have really burned the OM football program, and made them an example for other college football programs to look at. OM had what was known as the best law firm in the country to deal with NCAA issues that they faced , and the other lawyers (sfaff, boosters, etc) they have at their disposal ain't too shabby either. I would say that "The Network" is smart, as they don't want to bring the NCAA's attention back to their campus, and wouldn't touch him with a 20 foot pole. Now, if this changes and they do pursue him, then I may change that "smart" comment.

Who cares what this dumb ass does.

Some folks in this thread crack me up. The pearl clutching over a guy smoking weed is pretty mind blowing. Some of y'all would shit your pants if you knew what the character concerns were for guys we've gotten to play football at State. It's a college football team, not a church league. I want my DL to be borderline crazy. They have to be to do the kind of stuff they do 11 months out of the year. Go look at the DL of some of the best defenses we've ever had-you think those were choir boys? If the guy can play I'd be giving him a call. If we were concerned about character concerns, we wouldn't be taking 8 JC guys this year. Behavior outside the facility is manageable, ability is a scarce resource.

And besides, if he's a problem, cut em. We can't get a guy like him straight out HS, but we can take a chance when one presents itself

What I am hearing from my UGA folks is that he has major locker room issues and this was a final straw situation. I don't think most people care about the weed. It's more about things like his sideline fight with DAndre Walker last year that have caused problems.

Kind of like Jeff Simmons, Chauncey Rivers, Montez Sweat, and Jon Abram last year. Sure am glad we gave those guy a second chance.
