    Adam Anderson should be on some NFL team roster right now

    Well this young man is not far from the top of the recruiting rankings. And, from what I hear and read, he was highly recruited by several including Kirby. I guess I am a bit stirred over this loss....among many others. I over-reacted I reckon....as many of these young Turks will likely decommit by December, yes. Until they sign....

    Hey, UGA gave it one helluva shot and I give them that, but this kid had Oklahoma deep in his heart and was practically begging Oklahoma to give him just the smallest reassurance or reason to still choose them after his position coaching change. It stings but, like I said, this kid just could not, not go to Oklahoma.

    That being said, until UGA starts being more prolific at passing to WR's, I would estimate, guess, this is to be expected 75% of the time. If JT was starter, you would see more receivers coming to UGA and Burton would still be in Athens. It is what it is and you cannot blame receivers for wanting to go to a school like Oklahoma, etc.

    And that being said, as long as UGA is in the playoffs most years, everything is going to be OK. I do not have a problem with having the best TE's in the nation catching the passes(and blocking)instead of the best receivers. As long as it works out. But when UGA has a better passing QB and a more WR friendly offense, most of the best receivers are going to go elsewhere. And that might be OK, with all that we do have on both sides of the ball overall, because its better than most all. 😉

    #350 ranked player at best according to recruiting publications, and #50 something WR, and he is a top recruit? I know he was recruited by several big schools, mainly for his speed. Speed is useless if you can't catch the ball.

    You been drinking again or is it anger issues? UGA is fine. I will take UGA's overall roster over every other team in the nation, except 1 or 2 that have more experience or defensive depth. Don't forget the defense! Would you like to trade defenses with those teams? Enjoy the ride for pet's sake! You just won the Natty LOL!

    The articles are more than likely pre-written awaiting the young guns decisions. Jeff seems to invest a lot of time and energy with these recruits and at the end of the day there is always the possible flip or two, thus always show the love. Well except to the gators and those barn boys

    Yes, UGA has put 10 WRs in the NFL versus OU's 9. But two things.

    1. Blue chip recruits want programs that have a track record of developing players at their position to be high draft picks who go on to have 10 year NFL careers. It is the 3 star players who are looking at programs that give them the best shot at merely making the NFL.
    2. UGA signed top 10 recruiting classes for 15 years under Mark Richt and has now signed top 4 classes for 6 years under Kirby Smart. With the exception of a few years following their 2000 national title, Oklahoma didn't recruit at that level under Stoops or Riley. So Oklahoma's putting basically the same number of OL, WR and RB in the NFL as UGA - and far more QBs - despite signing much lower rated recruiting classes does make choosing to go there savvy.

    Why all this background, and fluff for someone who committed to another school? Give him creds when he commits to the G. Don't waste our time, on other teams commits. If they change their minds, spend some time, giving them some air time.

    Stop hating on other people, I for one thing Brent has earned this and I hope he does well for him and his family. Stop losing sleep over a WR who has #45 at his position. Go to a Florida Gaytors page for that type of negativity, you would fit right in over there!

    Mark my words...Kirby will flip 2 players thought to be locks, but went elsewhere. Oklahoma won't win 8 games this year.

  • My_Dawg_RyanMy_Dawg_Ryan Posts: 405 ✭✭✭✭ Senior

    God your logic and arguments are laughable! Of those 10 drafted, none of the UGA have done anything to separated themselves as a top WR in the NFL...Pickens is still a ?. Our last best WR that went into the league was A.J Green over a decade ago. OU has Hollywood Brown, CeeDee Lamb, Sterling Shepard, etc. who were 1st or 2nd round picks. Please for the love of God do your research!

  • My_Dawg_RyanMy_Dawg_Ryan Posts: 405 ✭✭✭✭ Senior

    Lol, I agree! I remember just a 3-4 years ago, UGA fans were complaining on why we don't use the TE's and how we cannot get them...but now we have all the talent in the world in the TE room but now everyone is mad the WR's are 5 Stars...your can't always have it both ways, we have good WR's, they might not be 5 stars, but they do the job. Stop stressing UGA fans and R...E...L...A...X!

    NO Sarcasm from me here, or me trying to be Mr. Know It All, cause I sure Don’t, and I learn new things all the time. But there’s allot of dismay among quite a few Dawgs fans at the Seeming lack of success at WR. I’ll explain the Seeming in a moment. But let me first preface and then ask a question. Brock Bowers is a Known commodity right ?? Darnell Washington same thing right ?? AND as great as those guys have been they are No Where Near their ceiling !! So which of those would you trade off for a 4 or even 5 star WR recruit coming out of HS ?? And our RBs, would you trade Kenny Mac for a 4 or 5 star WR recruit coming out of HS ?? OK my point you ask ?? Even the Mighty Bama don’t get All the greatest players at All positions !! Of Course like most Dawgs fans I’d Love to see us land a couple of sky high potential WR recruits !! Would be very nice !! But I have to be realistic and just know that the Dawgs ain’t gonna land All the very best HS players !! But just LOOK at what we Do have in the TE room, the RB room, the O Line, and as far as Potential pretty much All the Defense !! The thing I see coming from Dawgs fans is a fear or worry of not being able to stretch the field. Well I’m not That concerned over that issue as though they might not have been 4 & 5 stars out of HS but we have WRs now that Can stretch the field !! Lastly and this is a repeat of what Some Dawgs fans here have said, the recruiting season is Far from over !! Plus if it gets down to it Kirby can look at the JUCO ranks closer Or dip into the Transfer Portal more than he has in the past. Our beloved Dawgs are gonna be just fine !! And they Can and Will be contending Very Hard for another Ntl. Title !! Go Dawgs !!
