Richt’s Comment On Transfers

I'm sure McKitty was kicking himself after watching Herndon this year and then seeing the lack of depth when he got hurt. But he made his choice and now we made ours in Mallory and Jordan.

From Day 1, Richt wanted a UM offer to mean something again. If you pass on it, it will not be easy to get it back.

Richt is no dummy though - if there is a kid available and we have an immediate or future need, he will consider it. Just last year he was putting the bat signal out looking for a grad transfer RB. We took a grad transfer CB. We are possibly taking a JUCO DT this year. There's just no reason to take a transfer who will sit out a year unless he is elite, especially with the class we have coming in (and their ability to help immediately) and the talent available next year (which helps with roster management across classes).

I think these are different situations though. It's different when you have been recruited and then turn away only later to beg to come back.
