Theo/Darnell every day of the week
Speed/Size is unmatched
I look at it like this. All 3-4 are elite TEs. I know it’s not the best thing to do but I try to imagine where they’ll land if they don’t go to UGA. I’d rather Arik go Tenn than DW going to Alabama. Where as, Theo will prob go to PSU.
Cam Large is more of a traditional TE and not a flex, not to say he cant catch though.
We have been in on him for awhile now and i believe he was at Gday and Scavenger Hunt.
Between the comments from @ilovemaya about his interaction with Washington’s family yesterday in Athens and Washington’s own Insta story pictures, feels like spending this weekend with this core may have a pretty profound impact on his thought process. Seems like a number of this weekend’s attendees similarly came away with a different sense of what it would be like to be part of this team/university vs what their college list may have looked like just a few days earlier.
From everything i’ve read/seen, Ringo in particular looks and feels like a silent commit who is actively working to get some of these other guys into the fold (Washington & Evans specifically)
@SoFlaDAWG wasn’t kidding when he said this class could be EPIC (!)
You should be excited about him, because otherwise you would be disappointed about not landing 2 top 5 TE’s, which would be kind of ridiculous. Also, we need a larger TE...we’re not entitled to Washington.
I mean, I know you’re right. And maybe my post shouldn’t be taken literally. Whoever we get I’m sure I’ll be excited about, I’m just trying to get some info on a process that seems to have a lot of moving parts.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen all of the recent posts, but basically, the thinking is that’s Gilbert and Washington may not be on board with playing together. With that in mind, Theo and AG are probably too similar players, and since AG is the priority, pairing him with a guy like Large makes more sense.
If this is the case, I would rather have the staff pursue Darnell and Theo. Arik can go play WR at bottom-dweller UT. Darnell has shown us nothing but love recently.
Yeah, I understand that. AG is an elite in-state guy though, and he is seen as the most ready to contribute immediately, which I believe is a big deal for our staff considering who is leaving and our depth chart.
On a personal level, I really like Theo Johnson though, so I understand.
Good gosh o mighty, over half a million clicks so far, congrats FPD.
Honestly I think you're under estimating their HC. I'm guessing The Lizards go 8-4 at worst, 10-2 at best.
I've never thought we'll land both Gilbert and Washington. It's seemed pretty clear for a long time we're far more likely to sign Gilbert, which will be dandy. I think he has slightly more potential and he has real love for the program.
I'd love either of them but just looking at that wingspan of Washington, he'd make a heck of a security target while we're potentially breaking in a new QB next year. Ultimately, I do think Gilbert has the better max upside.
To be clear, both have real love for UGA. Independently, they both would choose UGA first, today. Collectively, it’s a work in process and it’s Hartley’s job to help them see the light.
I won’t make a definitive statement on this but I doubt we miss on both Gilbert and Washington and I hope both play together as the most ideal combo for us. Either way, the love is real and will work out for all involved.
Is Arik tentative on being a duo because his major catch-up is how much he is gonna get the ball?
