Everyone knows Beach is a coward troll that can't spell. It's UGA not IGA. It's came in 6th not cam in 6th Beach. Lol What an idiot.
MontanaDawg, I agree with you totally on that 2019 LSU team. The meaning of my post was, in today’s game, UGA couldn’t attract elite WRs, even with an offensive like LSU’s 50 points-per-game juggernaut. We don’t attract the elite WRs because we don’t spend frivolous money on players (yet).
also we ask our WRs to focus on blocking first. I think a school like Ohio just lets them fill up their stat sheet. Juice isn’t worth the squeeze at UGA for these guys.
@99nout -"I said it in a prior post and I’ll say it again. Noah Thomas regressing at UGA and going UDFA is a bad look for the program."
Noah was rated as the number 40th best receiver in his Sr. High School class. THere were 36 drafted receivers this year. I could agree with you if his ranking had been higher coming out of HS. Seems just on the pure HS rankings alone that he fits in well being an unrestricted free agent. You'd have a better case for Branch regressing or maybe more just not being what the Pro game is looking for in size than for Thomas. Thomas having the length and speed saved his bacon. Isaiah's quickness in space overcame his short arms and limited route tree capabilities.
Would having more targets at UGA catapulted Thomas into the 5th or 6th round? Maybe. Some of that's on him and some prehaps on Bobo's/Gunner's scheme and ability.
In the first 3 games last season Thomas only had 5 targets. Obvously there was a lack of chemistry/trust coming out of fall camp when throwing a deeper pass than there was when throwing the WR screen. We ended up utilizing BRanch in the same way he will be utilized at the next level.
@reddawg1
You make a good point about high school rankings.
I was comparing output from A&M to what he had at UGA which was a noticeable drop.
I think your last paragraph is the most salient. We either don’t have the qb or the coaching to throw deep balls.
Which will turn away a lot of receivers. Especially if they’re getting paid more elsewhere.
Tickle me pink if we even remotely return to the smothercating defense of 2021-2022 and replace all WRs with what may well be the best TE room in UGA history.
