More serotonin surge

This one makes me uncomfortable.

Did anyone else see that Fran just signed on with a NIL PR firm? First NCAA coach to do so. They will help promote his ideals. Cutting edge in athletic coaching.

More on Peal -- article from a Georgia writer:

Former Georgia DB Chris Peal announces transfer destination, to reunite with Fran Brown

Former Georgia defensive back Chris Peal has found a new home. And he’ll be pairing up with a familiar face in former Georgia defensive backs coach Fran Brown.

www.dawgnation.com

Was the #85 overall rated player in class of 2023 / #9 rated national CB recruit that year from On3, per that article.

On paper I think Fran handled this portal window exceptionally. Held his chips and brought in some really high level targets in the second window.

Love the strategy of snagging highly rated kids at big time schools seeking more playing time.

Kcsu gets his fix.

Peal was needed pretty badly. Needed another GAM in the corner room. Doesn’t have the experience of Lewis but has a lot more elligibiiity and a higher ceiling.

I would guess he is in the two deep by the time preseason camp ends.

 

[CbusCuse]

Guessing that since we've heard nothing here Fran isn't interested. And he's coming off labrum surgery.

I believe his labrum surgery was prior to the 2024 season according to this article. Unless he has since had another one.

Love the strategy of snagging highly rated kids at big time schools seeking more playing time.

Especially when its a kid that had some injury issues that likely set him back from developing more and winning more time on the field. As long as he's healthy now that is.

Hopefully some of you never doubt Fran's mastered of the portal and things portaling.

We put it on the list, he delivers.

Fran friggin Brown

I mean seriously right?! This wouldnt be happening with anybody else we’ve had or would have is what I’m thinking. In this horrendous, wild, wild West, NIL/portal era It’s keeping me engaged as a fan, not sure it would be the case without him.

Whomever here phrased the line, “the portal giveth and the portal taketh away” was spot on. I wasn’t so sure on the “giveth” part and was worried it would just take away our best/great players with the “giveth” part being Colgate, Albany and directional Michigan type players, but it’s proving not to be the case, thank God.

Just amazing and franfiggintastic.
