Photo emerges of Kirby Smart, Cade Mays embracing following Saturday's game
In the Georgia-Tennessee rivalry, Cade Mays was the biggest offseason.
Mays transferred from Georgia to Tennessee in January. When the news broke of Mays entering the transfer portal, Bulldog media revealed that the Mays family was suing UGA over an incident during a recruiting visit which resulted in the amputation of one of Mays’ father’s fingers.
Mays was in headlines throughout the offseason as Tennessee fans campaigned to #FreeCadeMays. Mays had his initial NCAA waiver request denied in August. After the denial, Mays’ lawyer Gregory Isaacs stated that the appeal would focus on the “toxic environment” at Georgia.
Tom Mars, Mays’ original transfer attorney, fanned the flames when he ripped Georgia for not supporting transfer waivers.
Despite everything, there isn’t appear to be bad blood between Mays and his former head coach, Kirby Smart.
Seth Emerson of The Athletic shared a photo of a postgame embrace between Mays and Smart:
Why would Baby Mays hug the man responsible for creating such a toxic environment for him in Athens that he literally had to flee all the way to Knoxville to escape it and better his life?
It doesn’t make sense!
I saw that as the teams mingled. My first thought was that Cade gonna catch him some toxicity. My second thought was maybe the kid should’a quit listening to his dad and brother.
It’s all good. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t want him starting at RT over McClendon or RG over Cleveland. Would you?
He’s a guard, plain and simple, and that’s where he belongs. Pruitt seems to think so as well. A brawler in the run game, a turnstile otherwise.
It is all good. Neither are as petty as you.
Glad to see they have no hard feelings. After all, its not Cade’s fault his father AKA Pinky Stump, is a low life looser who’s willing to do anything to get a free pay day.
I really feel bad for Cade. His father has put an ugly stain on his sons career.
We shall see about what kind of bragging some do after the Bama game come Saturday. I got a feeling that someone else will be chided about losing the “big one”…..again.
Excellent point. When do the vols have their next ‘big one’ against Georgia State?
Bama will have to back up your trolling because your Vols sure can’t..
Ouch! That one hit the mark!
Couldn’t disagree more, atnvol. That defense is nasty.
Bama is about to suffer through a 2-game losing streak.
