Jalon Jones in Transfer Portal
- Thread starter GatorGray
- Start date
So f’n what? You guys are light years behind. Focus on that.Franks rsJr **** starter, rated the #3 SEC QB for 2019.
Trask rsJr *** (6-5 235 and a 72% passer)
E.Jones rsFr **** (learning the offense and making good progress)
J.Jones Fr **** --- announced to the xfer portal
Heavy QB Competition, and it's getting harder....
Isn't that why Beck bailed out to UGly, too much competition?
I have not seen a 'reason' given for the portal. Link???
(other than lies and rival speculations anyway)
ESPN recruiting update: (also now a 247 Composite ****)
#6 QBdt Anthony Richardson 6-4 235 **** 83 -- 153/300
In February, Richardson clocked a 4.50-second 40-yard dash time at Nike’s “The Opening” regional competition camp in Orlando. He also impressed as a passer, earning an invite to the Elite 11.
Minus all the nonsense from giddy Dawgs, this is a weird situation.
It doesn't make sense that he would go through spring and then all of a sudden decide to transfer.
He knew the situation when he signed...curious.

Look, being serious AF, we shouldn't be bothered by this at all. He has a wack throwing motion and he wasn't gonna start during his entire tenure here anyway with Franks, E. Jones, and ARich coming in next season. All three of those and Trask too are all better than J. Jones.
Lol, really? Florida is out recruiting us right now? Your higher in the rankings because you more commits not better ones. There is a reason recruiting rankings mean less than crap in April. Because there is 7 months left.
Oh and Akinola Ogunbiyi, and Carson Beck said hello. They were Florida locks weren’t they. Hell Beck was such a lock your genius head coach ran off the qb you had committed for Beck. Then Beck visited Athens and committed 2 days later. And then cancelled any and all visits including his favorite team from 20 minutes down the road. Yeah, y’all are kicking our ass. Lol, be honest you knew for a fact they were yours didn’t ya? I will give ya credit for getting the QB that you liked so much you were willing to drop like a hot potato back, nice work there. Enjoy celebrating all your recruiting prowess right now. Because we will see ya in December, big boys.

I still think there's a chance he stays.Football isn't what it used to be. There's, if I can't beat him, I'll take my game somewhere else and hopefully I'll be the stud on that team mentality. If your starter gets hurt, the backup has already bailed, and the third string is raw. The playing field is gradually getting leveled.
This dude definitely is a regular caller to Paul Finebaum. Taunting a team’s fanbase that your coach has a knack for choking against in embarrassing fashion to boot. That’s another level.
We must be pretty relevant to all these Georgia fans , they can't wait to mock us for losing a third string freshman. I look at it as a loss for sure, but like Ohio State or Alabama , I see this as a sign the guy wasn't confident in his ability to beat out the guys ahead of him. To me that means there must be some talented and more prepared dudes in front of him. This transfer thing is going to affect every top program that brings in top notch talent.
Recruiting rankings mean nothing now yet you dumbasses can’t stop talking about recruiting now, when it apparently means nothing. Pick a side already.
We are your 9th game of the season. If you are lucky enough to go 8-0 (and if you do you will be talking about at least one "escape"), we will put you to 8-1. But we can't control what happens before our game, we might be sending you from 6-2 to 6-3.
I hope you're correct in your prediction. Too early for me to go out on a limb. What's your prediction on the score?
Ugh, no, I thought the same from the time he signed with us a few months ago all the way through spring practice. Not to mention he was ranked lower than the other QB's on roster coming out of high school so it's not like we're losing some prized recruit like a Justin Fields per se.
I agree. The fsu fan base used to be a close second as the dumbest fan base, but no more. As you said, the gap is widening. Kudos to you for recognizing it.
Thanks for admitting that Florida is indeed outrecruiting Georgia right now.
Talent advantage is the only thing saving Kirby, and even talent couldn't bail him out from coaching blunders against Bama the last two years.
Don't forget, the Georgia homers here blamed Fields for that disasterous 4th and Kirby fake punt, not their boneheaded bowlcut of a coach.
Just roll with it, we had to after the fields situation
Fields was a freshman that couldn’t beat out the guy in front of him. Different?
Not the point and you know that. He obviously was told stuff by Eddie or he wouldn’t have signed. But now that he’s leaving everyone is trashing him here.
Current Rivals Recruiting Team Rankings:
5 - Florida
9 - Georgia
Looks like the party's over for bowlcut. That was fast.
Whereas Georgia just lost the QB that Kirby put on the field on the most important play of the season.
Ouch.
I thought the same thing when I first read about it. Mine was just pure conjecture, but you seem to sometimes get access to inside information. Are you sure that's the case?
Going to be tough given the decade-long dynasty Coach Moe has built.

Sounds like he wasn't happy with his position on the depth chart following Spring practices.
Everyone= 1 person now. And trashing is a huge overstatement.
I wasn't as much trashing as I was simply stating what I've thought for awhile but haven't shared heretofore. But when a kid hops in the transfer portal he's in a way trashing his current team, so I feel less inhibited sharing my thoughts on him now. I was never sold on him well before he hopped into the portal but out of politeness and courtesy I didn't straight up share such comments that I've done now.
Now, I am getting some positive, hopeful thoughts on ARich though.....he's got size, speed, and seems like a gamer, apparently can pass too considering his Elite 11 invite....regardless of his 3 star ranking.
In short, (use the link for the longer version)....
Jalon Jones officially entered the NCAA transfer portal on Tuesday.
This was a break that both parties agreed to. Later in the evening, Jacksonville's SportsDenLive radio host and Jones' quarterback trainer, Denny Thompson, opened up about the transfer on the radio. He (JJ) believes he can get a waiver and play elsewhere," said Thompson.
“It’s a hell of a QB room they have there. I think that’s part of it," added Thompson. "I think he’s also a bit homesick” The true freshman had struggled during spring practice. “He’s behind mechanically," added Thompson. "We talked about having him come up to Jacksonville for half the summer to work on his mechanics and when you’re in the SEC you can’t be behind on that.”

Only the clueless twits at rivals still have him as a 3-star.
ESPN & 247 Composite have him as a 4-star, with a 5th star not out of the question by NSD.
Elite 11 invites trump recruiting rankings. Just saying.
The beat down coming to the gayturds will be brutal. As usual, the flawda seats will be empty by midway 3rd qtr.
