Cross is a very good possibility for us now.

Reminder - we need offensive players
2019 WR
I am thinking we will take Elam or Cross plus 2 WR. 8 is not enough to cover injuries so I expect Webb to switch back
Dawg Post says Pickens did OV this weekend, but they think he will stick with the Barn
(Potential plan B at WR, in case Pickens doesn’t workout ? UGA was in on early, when this kid was labeled as an ATH, with some seeing him as a safety. Could be considered as Tongue-Light type player)

“Florida State is still kind of in it, but it’s basically down to Ole Miss, Georgia and Mississippi State,”
If Pickens doesn’t work out (hearing Sat is cut off day on moving forward), I hope staff just takes a grad transfer for a one year rental. Mingo is an OK player, not a burner, don’t see the huge upside. Personally feel like he’s a lesser version of Ridley. Strong hands, capable route runner, but will just be a guy on depth chart. We do need a WR based on bodies, particularly at Z position.
If staff feels good about getting 3 next class, I’d lean to one year rental.
How do you feel about the chances of him picking us coming out of the visit?

Heard late yesterday its all about qualifying and chatter is it looks like he won’t. Theyre expecting some test scores back this week, Saturday will be a fork in road type day. Either keep pursuing or moving on.
IMO we need 3 per year. A one year rental would mean next year we would lose 2 Seniors and potentially Robertson and Holloman leaving just 5 WR. My thought is that 10 is a minimum with 1 senior and 3 per class (assumes a championship team likely loses 2 to draft). Opting for a rental will potentially give us 1 senior, 3 juniors,and 1 sophmore in 2020 then just 1 senior and 1 junior in 2021. I favor going for 2 more WR in this class plus Elam/Cross.
Not usually one to criticize a kid, but it seems like if this was a priority for him, things wouldn't be so up in the air. I'm certainly disappointed because selfishly I want him catching jump balls for us the next few years. We haven't traditionally been in the running for receivers this good.
Good point. Doubtful your scenario happens though. I think there will be 1 more WR taken (or a player that is versatile enough to line up at WR) this year. Remains to be seen if transfer/grad transfer or true signee is targeted. Again, these scenarios are back up plans to Pickens. Next year will likely be 3 WR plus another transfer for a rental.
Staff will not continue to take bodies they feel will be challenged to see the field.
This is probably a dumb question, but Auburn must have a different qualifying threshold if he's still in play for them. Do you know what those specifics are?
Sux for all. Exchanging messages, a point was brought up that I personally overlooked. If a player is struggling to qualify in HS, what’s the likelihood they dedicate themselves to learn the playbook while also taking a class load from UGA? It was a sobering point. I want Pickens talent in this class, but again that point was sobering.
DJ Daniel faced a similiar situation last year. He put his head down, delayed his announcement until he was cleared, then announced. This is what it takes...the chatter is maybe Pickens isn’t doing that.
All players have to meet the NCAA minimum requirements. Most colleges have higher requirements than the NCAA. If he doesn't hit the right #'s on his ACT (my guess is he has avoided the SAT) it doesn't matter what the school's requirements are. If he does make the NCAA cutoff, then the school's requirements may come into play. Auburn (and others) will take a kid that Stanford or Duke won't - school's standards apply there.
