Arik Gilbert Rumors

We heard the rumors about Arik Gilbert being interested in transferring to UGA and asked around.

There is SOME truth to the rumor. From what we’ve been told from someone who would definitely know, he has been in contact with our staff/players and is very interested in playing in Athens. He’s also interested in returning to LSU.

I was told that we’re not overly confident in getting him to Athens, mainly because of his academic issues. LSU is likely the only one that can get him in IF they’re able to get some of the classes he quit turned in to incompletes so he can finish them up.

I would say the chances of him being in Athens are very slim. It wouldn’t take a miracle to get him in, but close to it.
