Rosemy is the front runner to land the second WR spot. Staff has told Rosemy he’s reminds them of a more explosive Riley Ridley at this same point in their careers. Robinson and Rosemy gives staff the physicality and playmaking combo they’d be looking for.
For now we still believe 3 WRs taken with the third spot being filled by Henning/Wren/Arian Smith. All are tremendous athletes and al have been told staff sees variations of Mecole Hardman in their game. Regardless of ranking, I do feel Smith is the elite athlete here capable of playing both offense and defense but Wren reminds me most of Hardman. Henning is probably the most ready to contribute currently.
This is my 6/1 mock. note the last line

B BranchD Green-WarrenIf Flowe is a go then we drop Burroughs (doubtful) or Green-Warren
Thomas, Wilson, Cleveland, and Kindley are the ones that could declare early. I believe Hayes is the only senior. So lose 5 through the draft and eligibility. No idea on who would transfer but losing 7 would require picking up at least 6 this cycle.
On the subject of RB some have said that we won't get Milton and Evans due to the depth in the RB room. I would point out that in 2014 we got Chubb and Michel even though TG3 and Marshall were only rising Juniors (2012 Class). Let's hope that history repeats!
I like the mock. On OL I think a player who can potentially be a C will be prioritized if the number stays at 5 (this is based on very recent chatter). For that reason I like Van Pran there. If 6, I like both SVP and Raym and this likely subtracts 1 from WR.
Trusting staff on confidence with Burch but there is zero chatter coming out there. The confidence remains however so it’s blind faith in staff with Burch.
I do not believe Green-Warren gets in unless Williams tells staff no and I don’t think that’ll happen. Williams game is very similar to LeCounte.
Add a ILB. I think it’ll be Sewell as of today but Flowe looms large here.
Staff is very high on Burroughs FWIW. This one needs to play out.
Cliche alert, TE is likely the most fluid position on board. It is believed that there’s zero separation between the staffs top 3-4 targets, however as Gilbert is a local kid, he’s being prioritized. We do think it’s a first 2 to commit and shut down situation here.
@Denmen185. Depth chart is not frowned upon by Milton or Evans. Keep in mind that staff is prepping to lose Fromm after the 19 season. Whoever the QB is in 20, the offense production will look similar to that of 17 where it’s 60%+ run game as they ease that QB into the fold. There will be plenty of carries to go around.
Zeus will be in money year and likely the starter.
Cook will get meaningful carries but it’s unrealistic today to think he’ll avg. 10+ carries at any point for UGA. He’ll get touches, not carries necessarily.
Kenny will get carries and he is better than Herrien and Holyfield ant this point in careers.
Milton and Evans will push for the two deep with Milton likey being primed to roll based on size, style, and EE.
Both Zeus and Cook are likely gone after 20 season barring injury.
No, early NFL
👀👀
I realize it's purely semantics but I keep cringing every time I see Rosemy comped to Riley Ridley. Not saying it's not a good comparison but I guess I'm an outlier in that while I liked Riley and think he can be productive in the NFL, he IMO wasn't really great at anything at UGA. Give me a comp to get excited about at least. I guess I'm like BA and fall for the flashy guys lol.
I will say that Hankton is coming into make or break time as the additions of Blaylock, Pickens, and Tongue gives him plenty of talent he may have been lacking until now. And if he's the one making the calls on the targets then he's using some rope. I have no clue if Robinson is going to be great or not but if he really was our #1 target no matter what, then it would seem we are saying we see something others don't..ie..it's a risk. We also don't seem to be very worried about getting in on the true 5 stars this year.
I'm truly not criticizing Hankton or saying he doesn't know what he's doing: just that we should have a much more definite conclusion on his performance starting pretty much now.
@scooterdawg Pickens was a 5 an Blaylock by all intents and purposes was a 5. Rosemy is a fringe 5 right now by most as well.
Three WRs drafted last year. Yes he didnt recruit them but he coached them up.
Im sorry but Hankton is not on a short leash or a make or break cycle / season.
Pretty rough on someone who has only been in the program 1 year. If you are rating him as a recruiter it's like saying Mazzone was weak at getting top long relief talent during the Smoltz, Glavine, Maddox era. He did add a great talent in 2019 class.
The plot thickens - what are the "evil" twins up to? 😀
