Day Drinking is fun .... who you talking to ?
Yea, Radi loves his "We told ya so's" and taking any opportunity to dress down the collective fan base for differing opinions.
Hah, moved to the appropriate thread. one day I'll learn I can't multitask
He also loves talking over people who actually know things like Coach Donnan
So I'm aware that Wren is super fast(track guy). I looked him up awhile back when I heard his name come up and well..I didn't specifically put in Hudl but...lots of 100m track stuff are mostly what comes up.
Could be great. But we were just talking in another thread about instate guys. Are there not any fast track guys instate who we might have to fight off Tech and Georgia State for or do we need to get one out of NO?
Yes, I'm a broken record but I'm down with Justin Robinson, another guy who we apparently see more in than the recruiting services. We also didn't steal him from ASU/Houston and I've heard good things from people who have seen him.
@SoFL_Dawg said that you can't teach speed which is true, but there have been plenty of fast guys who couldn't learn to play WR well, particularly track guys. I don't think anyone, myself included knows much on this guy: I heard Mecole from one guy and Imac from another. Mecole was a 5* and Imac, I love him, but he's a guy we remember as Dawg fans, but noone else does.
I don't get it, but I'm not getting paid the big bucks. I'm aware I'll get crap for saying that, but if this was any other position that we were competing for a 3* against basically noone for when there's other guys still out there, it would raise more eyebrows.

You sir, are a prophet, I assume, of course that you are indeed a dude... /s
FWIW, I'd love to have Gilbert but out of the guys we have committed or are in the running for in this class, I'd be the least upset if we missed on him.
Maybe Coley is going to revolutionize the TE position at UGA, but to me the best TE in the country isn't going to put us over the top. If he wants to be a Dawg I'd love to have him but frankly no matter how good he is I think we'll be fine with Washington, the Canadian kid, or another highly rated guy.
I DO find it amusing that the guy who barely used our last 5* TE is now the OC who is going to feature Gilbert in some exotic way....
Speaking of WRs, the Rivals UGA guy brought up Xavier Henderson out of Miami as a possibility. Are we talking to him?
Similar thoughts. I am wary of "Athletes" and in many ways prefer positional specialists even if they don't have quite the same talent. Don't get me wrong but even Mecole, who was exciting to watch, could get under the ball and had good hands but I recall few if any times he went up in traffic and came down with the ball. That to me makes the difference between a good and great receiver.
For that reason Johnson and Carr may prove a better fit than Gilbert and Washington except in our pursuit for #1 class ranking. I will be happy if we get any 2 of the 4, after all the purpose is to win the games not the recruiting battles (although talent certainly helps).
He's a really fast WR out of New Orleans. Only a 3* so not a lot of attention from the sites near as I can tell. Runs track. I think Jeff had a blurb in his info dump thread.
Yeah, I looked him up on 247 and saw he was CBed to Clemson but it was Jake Reuse who brought him up so I was curious.
