Georgia's latest Transfer Portal miss is as confusing as it gets

One of Georgia's top targets in the Transfer Portal this offseason was Vanderbilt wide receiver Tre Richardson. He is coming off a season with the Commodores where he finished with 46 receptions, 806 yards and seven touchdowns.

He is the exact player that Georgia needs after all of the departures in their wide receiver room. The Bulldogs haven't lost any receivers to the portal, but they did lose Zachariah Branch, Colbie Young, Noah Thomas and Dillon Bell to the NFL Draft. Those departures gave Georgia no choice but to hit the portal hard, and Richardson was one of the first receivers that UGA brought on campus.

Unfortunately Georgia did not win his recruitment as Richardson announced his commitment to Louisville on Friday.

Losing Richardson to anyone would've been tough to overcome because he is the perfect player that Georgia needed for next season. But losing him to Louisville is really tough to see.

Louisville is not a program that is anywhere close to Georgia's level. Richardson originally planned to visit Texas after his trip to Louisvile, and it would've made more sense if Georgia lost Richardson to the Longhorns because Texas is actually on UGA's level. But Richardson chose to go to Louisville even though Georgia was the first school he visited, and that is hard to understand.

The good news for Georgia is that they've already one wide receiver out of the Transfer Portal in Isiah Canion. He comes to Georgia from Georgia Tech, so stealing him from the Bulldogs' in-state rival is a fun win.

But Georgia will still need to go out and add at least one more receiver out of the portal. Richardson would've been the perfect addition, but the Bulldogs will unfortunately need to go look elsewhere now.
