FAFO Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago I’m sure a lot of keyboard warriors will be pissy for this thread. but out of curiosity i looked up Zachariah Branch stats with his UGA debut & couldn’t help to see Zion Branch lead the team in Tackles…. i was prettty stunned. i didn’t think he could play at the level of a someone i thought to be getting real minutes on a UGA defense… anyone else notice that? or watch the game?

Bunk Moreland Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago The ridiculous thing is that we didn’t want to “throw away” a scholarship at Zion Branch, but we ended up with a free scholarship over the summer that we gave to a non-contributing walk-on LB (no offense to him). Maybe Sark didn’t buy into Branch or didn’t think he fit his system, but that feels like a huge missed opportunity given the lack of explosiveness in our offensive skill talent. 1 Quote
Atticus Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago You think a scholarship used on a walk on is worth the same ($$$) as a scholarship used on Zion Branch? Who did they even play? Quote

Ace_Rothstein Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago As a guy that was high on Zachariah Branch coming out of HS, he got passed over at USC for a reason. If anything Riley should have just benched him sooner. Makai Lemon is an absolute dawg and just a way better, and more complete WR. Same goes for Jakobi Lane. Riley’s offense is relatively simple and Branch was having trouble running the correct routes, catching the ball in key moments etc. Are we sure we really wanted to throw a boat load of cash at a guy that doesn’t profile as a polished, refined WR? i get this thread is talking about Zion, but i think it’s all related and relevant since they were a package deal. 2 Quote
