SEC QB quick to reach out to Arik Gilbert after TE's decommitment from Florida
Arik Gilbert is back on the market and one SEC quarterback isn’t wasting any time in recruiting the 5-star tight end.
Tennessee QB Harrison Bailey tweeted at Gilbert on Sunday afternoon after the class of 2020 5-star announced he had backed off his recent transfer commitment to Florida and was re-entering the NCAA transfer portal.

Come Ball FAMILY.
— Harrison Bailey (@HBailey_05) February 28, 2021
Bailey and Gilbert were high school teammates at Marietta High School and led the program to its first Georgia state title in over 50 years.
Bailey tried to recruit Gilbert via social media in January when the LSU tight end entered the NCAA transfer portal. Bailey was obviously unsuccessful the first go around.
Maybe this time, with a new coaching staff on Rocky Top, Gilbert will give UT another look? You certainly can’t fault Bailey for trying to add an elite pass-catcher to his team.
Don’t see it happening, but I’d be happy if it did. Wondering why the sudden change though? Academics?
Do academics still factor in the switch from student athletes to professional athletes?
This is already dumb!!!! Listen the kid could have chose to lose with Tennessee before he committed to Florida. This Tennessee QB is starting to look desperate!!!
PS. Harrison Bailey isn’t even the guaranteed starter at QB!!!! Arik you know where home is!!!!
Negan
Bobby, dumb would be for him to come to UGA. UGA has no proven offensive minded coach. None. All you got is Kirby realizing his can’t build an offensive trolling the transfer portal, begging for players. Bailey is a 5 star and knows who Heupel is. Only coach out there that Saban has formed his offense after UCF’s model. You have no QB on your team of Bailey’s ability, so why to go UGA? LOL.
UGA only has the best QB in the SEC (but not because of anything Kirby has done – if anything, he’ll make him worse). If Georgia doesn’t win the SEC this Fall, I’d be shocked.
He looks just as desperate as you and other GA fans begging him to come when “could have chose to lose with” Georgia before he committed to Florida and LSU initially. Lol. You are doing the same thing he is except he actually plays. You are just a known troll…. This shows your level of intelligence “Negan” Not a good look for some who calls themself “Bobby the Brain.” Also, who puts a signature on a SDS post? You realize your name is at the top right?
LOL. If Gilbert ends up at the Dumpster Fire in Hillbillyville, that WILL be a shock.
Prepare to be shocked dumba$$. He’s a vol!
“Delusional” truly is spelled H-I-L-L-B-I-L-L-Y.
Delusional…hmmm like the HillBillies that cheer for the Georgia Bulldogs…that haven’t won a National Championship since Dinosaurs roamed the Earth lmao…try again retard
@Lord of the flies……..UGA has dominated Tennessee for the last 30 years or more!!!!
Negan
Corch. Two things. Your not Negan from the walking dead, nor were you probably born the last time UGA won a Natty lol. Their only natty lol. Historically, UGA was never a football powerhouse. No real long history. A mild temporary flirtation in 80’s lead to one natty and that was pretty much it until the last 5 years or so.. lol. But it took a collapse of TN and UF for you to ever make any kind of noise and still, that noise is a .. weird.. choking sound..lol
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, delusional is actually spelled Corch Irvin Meyers, New USC Trojans Corch (2020)
LOL
Why on earth would anyone want to play for the lowly Viles? It will be a thrilling battle for the SEC east basement for years, between Vandy and the nation’s biggest dumpster fire. UT will be lucky to win a single conference game next year. Gilbert didn’t like the beating Alabama put on LSU, and quit after the game. I seriously doubt he wants to sign up for that kind of loss every week at a program as worthless as UT.
So why do you care?
He didn’t say he cared.
Well at least he’s consistent, unlike his Bulldogs.
Is Texas back yet? Everyone is still waiting.
Dirty South. The last time you probably asked that question is just before the last time UGA faced Texas and embarrassed you with a long, lanky slow QB.. LOL. Its bad luck for you to ask any team that question, clearly.
LOL
When will Texas stop hiding from the Aggies?
UT lets the hollywood (lower case h) clown hang out on the sidelines during the games. You better hope your new coach does a better job than he did with the Falcons. He won’t have the talent advantage at Texas that he had at Bama.
Always the bridesmaid
Vandy doesn’t even get invited to the wedding so there’s that.
SEC123……Vandy fans are NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK!!!! Until you finish better than LAST in the SEC. YOU CAN’T EVEN TALK!!!!!
PS. What will you humanoids say after UGA wins it all and you can’t say 1980 anymore??????
Negan
1980…1980….1980….1980….
Negan, you’ve been spouting that “UGA wins it all” far too long now. Get your head out of clouds and get back to reality. Nineteen eighty!
I think Negan you may be the delusional one. In another comment you made you said UGA has dominated UT in last 30 years without any facts to support that claim. But here are a few facts for you. It has taken the worse 20 year span in UT football history for UGA to pull ahead only by 2 games. UGA is 25-23-3 in history. And to speak about the last 30 years didn’t UGA lose 9 straight to UT between 1989-1999. And Butch Jones is considered one of the worse coaches in UT history and he beat UGA twice. And during this span of UGA being 25-23-2 against UT in history UGA has only averaged 21.04 per game in history between the two. I wouldnt exactly say that’s dominating by no means.
You should send the UT administration a Thank You card for being incompetent for the last 20 years. Without the worse stretch in UT history UGA wouldn’t have had a chance to be winning the series currently. It only took the last 20 years fir UGA to pull ahead only by 2 games. And then UGA fans beat there chest like they are a traditionally rich football history with only 1 national championship in School history. Lol.
And oh I almost forgot. The last 30 years UGA and UT series is tied 15-15. How’s that make you feel that UGA is 15-15 and UT has been below average for last 20 years in Football. Lol.
Any fan that says certain fans can’t speak are the ones that know their team is doomed. If we followed this rule, UGA shouldn’t be allowed to speak for another 40 years, starting in 17 when they at least made a natty appearance, thanks mostly to luck and playing Auburn to get there, in avoidance of playing Bama. lol. So all are welcome to bash, banter and speak their truths.
The team you support has no weight on your ability to speak your opinion on a public website
I wish you would stop using the West Point logo, your comments embarrass everyone with an Army background.
So you think you are the only person to have ever been in the Army? Maybe you should stop using uga since your comments pretty much an embarrassment to dawg fans.
You gotta be some kind of stupid to call Knoxville Hillbillyville when compared to Athens where sheep and cash are in short supply..lol. It will be a real shock if UGA ever gets an offense. What was left of any offense left with Fromm.
A good coaching staff will out out that dumpster fire crotch. It starts somewhere. And don’t act like UGA is a power house. I’ll tell you like I told the other village idiot. UGA is 15-15 against UT last 30 years and let Butch beat y’all twice. It took 20 years of UT playing it’s worse stretch of football in school history and finishing middle to lower half of conference ever year during that span for UGA to even break even after 30 years lol.

Interesting
Neagen is notorious for making predictions and untrue narratives to suit what he wants to spout of out of his mouth. There are usually no facts to back up the check that his ass cannot cash. All you have to do is look at his post history to prove that. Then when he is wrong he changes it all up trying to confuse everyone so to not look like the village idiot.
Arik’s mother Akiba Gilbert played college basketball at UNCC.
His grandfather played basketball at Jackson State University.
LOL
At one point in time those peaches would be insulting, but now they might represent an unrealistic goal for lowly UT.
I swear if this kid goes to Tn we all know that the, end of the world is near
Why? Your D has been so bad, that is actually made A&M think they should have been in the playoffs! LOL. Mullen isn’t Steve . There is no great offensive mind at UF. There is only the desire to throw the ball and little else. We are about to find out what life is like there with a newbie QB and how many wins hail Marys can get you.
tell me how many td did tn get in all their games combined?
and what kind of defense gets melted by Kentucky?
gwhite, this post clearly shows your complete lack of knowledge when it comes to Mullen. His entire career as an offensive minded coach revolves around running the ball. It wasn’t until he came to UF that he had to completely alter his playbook to fit the skills of 2 QBs that the previous coaches recruited who didn’t fit his style, and he was still able to produce one of the most potent offenses in the nation last season. Now you will see him resort back to what he’s done for years since he has the QB he recruited that can run his full playbook. What Mullen has done in the last couple of years just strengthens the fact that he’s an offensive genius. Not many coaches can flipflop styles depending on who’s behind center and have success either way.
If he goes to Knoxville we know what’s not in his head…brains.
dude this guy cannot make up his mind…..ever
I predict Prime Time writes him a check. Well, not necessarily Dion but somebody in Mississippi. Just a guess.
lol
LOL
Does anyone believe Arik really knows what/where he wants to go ? He’s sounding like a locker-room problem.
well i mean he probably gonna go to Bama (well thats where all 5 stars that want a natty go)
Bama doesn’t really need him, and he seems like he has some issues. Either drugs, or academics, or both. I also do not know if Bama had the scholarship to give him.
Who would want to go to Tennessee with Chancellor Plowman still there? She caused a lot of the problems that are about to rain down on that team.
I assure you, Alabama does not want/need him.
Actually, Bobby with no brain, the record with Tennessee and Georgia for the last 30 years is 15-15. That is with Tenn. being a dumpster fire for the past 12 years.
Clearly this kid has issues. He will go where the most lenient coach is who allows him to do what he wants. What a waste of god given ability bc his attitude and maturity. Sad to see. The next Antonio Alfano.
