ATHENS \u2014 Kirby Smart knows that from this point forward, there is only one way to improve Georgia\u2019s roster. <\/p>\n
That wasn\u2019t the case a season ago, when the spring transfer portal still existed. Georgia went out and added four players <\/a>after the conclusion of spring practice, while seeing four players exit the program as well. <\/p>\n Smart, thankfully, doesn\u2019t have to worry about that this time around, as rule changes set up just a single portal window in January. <\/p>\n \u201cWith there being no spring portal for us, it\u2019s actually brought some sanity to your roster being your roster,\u201d Smart said in a radio interview with 680 The Fan.<\/a> \u201cNow that could be positive and that could be negative because there\u2019s a lot of coaches out there that would love to, \u2018Oh man, I\u2019d love to get this guy or get that guy or kids would like to move.\u2019 But now that you\u2019re fixed, it puts a little more pressure on.\u201d<\/p>\n Georgia isn\u2019t the most aggressive team when it comes to the transfer portal, something Smart acknowledges. Georgia added only nine players via the transfer portal in January, but also lost only 12 players. Georgia had the fewest transfer additions and departures among SEC teams. <\/p>\n The Bulldogs have liked what they\u2019ve seen so far from Clemson defensive back Khalil Barnes and Georgia Tech wide receiver Isiah Canion. Saturday\u2019s spring scrimmage will be the public\u2019s first chance to see those transfers in a Georgia uniform. <\/a><\/p>\n But Saturday also gives the viewing public the chance to see how the likes of Talyn Taylor, Jah Jackson and Justin Williams have all improved since the end of last season. <\/p>\n
