"UGA turning into CU. Sad": Fans have wild reactions to Kirby Smart's latest signings from spring transfer portal

Kirby Smart is gearing up for his 10th season with the Georgia Bulldogs. So far, he has led the program to two back-to-back national championships and three SEC titles. Last season, the Bulldogs finished with an 11-3 campaign after winning the SEC title showdown against Texas.

With the onset of the spring transfer portal, Kirby Smart is utilizing this opportunity to revamp his roster for the 2025 campaign. The Bulldogs have lost QB Carson Beck, who has left to play for Miami, while top defensive stars like Jalon Walker and Myke Williams declared for the NFL draft.

However, according to On3, Kirby Smart's team has already made big moves in the portal. They landed three big signings- RB Josh McCray, DL Joshua Horton, and LB Elo Modozie.

Fan shared their thoughts and perspective on Georgia's transfer portal moves in the comments. Some of them criticized these moves in the portal made by Smart's team.

"Georgia turning into CU. Sad," one fan commented.

"I have also just received word that Athens PD just landed 3 inmates future inmates for reckless driving!" another fan joked, citing disciplinary problems within the team.

"Program in decline," this fan wrote.

Others were excited to see the Bulldogs in action with a new and revamped roster in place.

"Kirby isn't playing around. How about them Dawgs?!" one fan said.

"Kirby absolutely cooking on Easter Sunday," another fan commented.

"Got all 3 of our biggest needs in an hour," this fan said.

The biggest acquisition for the Bulldogs is linebacker Elo Modozie. His arrival helps fill the void left by the departure of Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker. Last season, with the Black Knights, Modozie recorded 34 total tackles, 6.5 sacks as a defensive starter on the field. He has two years of collegiate eligibility left.

Kirby Smart left unsatisfied with spring practice performance

Earlier this month, Kirby Smart held a press conference after the team's practice session. He talked about how the players had to improve their game on both sides of the ball.

Kirby Smart said that while the energy levels were good, they have yet to reach his standard of expectations. He then praised the offense for showcasing a better performance than the defense during the scrimmage.

"Spurts of each," Smart said. "I mean, we had couple explosive runs. We had a lot of two-three yard runs that, you know, one guy misses an assignment, one guy makes a play. I think the energy level and passion on defensive side was ahead of what the offense was in the run game. But still, the offense dominated in the red area."

"But it's not where it needs to be on either side of the ball, to be honest with you. We don't run the ball well enough or stop the run. I think a lot of that comes from physical mentality."

Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs begin their 2025 campaign with a season opener against Marshall in August. It will be interesting to see if he can win his third national title with the program.
