I think Gilbert would make a bigger impact on defensive side of the ball for some team, much more so than on the offensive side of the ball.
Arik Gilbert is a freak athlete who will make some fanbase really happy really soon. I hope it is our fanbase, but I also love DW and TJ.
Give me 2 of 3, I don't care which.
I realize neither AG or DW will be red shirted - but TE is about the most red shirted position in college football.
TEs are rarely ready - they may be ready as a receiver or ready as a blocker - but they are rarely ready for both.
AG and DW will probably play next year - but neither will be ready.
AG may be more ready now. I don't know and doubt anyone else really knows. And I'm sure AG will be awesome.
But once fully developed - how in the hell do you cover DW?
Given who we have at TE, Darnell or Theo or Arik or whoever we get will have to be ready year 1. And no , hard to cover a perfect pass to a 6’7 TE on a skinny post . I think all are developed enough physically to be willing and ready blockers year 1 also.
I realize they will need to play year 1. Not suggesting they won't. And I'm confident they will be adequate.
But the TE transition is difficult - more difficult than most realize.
Hands in the dirt, blocking down on Dlineman ready ?
I also think a few here are sleeping on the TE prospects we brought in last year. May not be able match up athletically with these 2020 guys but could very well turn into good TEs for UGA in out system.
Not ready to block down on a d-lineman, but probably ready to run a few routes.
And I agree, UGA got 2 good te's in this past class and those 2 will be fighting to play opposite Fitzpatrick next season.
Everyone seems to want the shiny new toy and often disregard the one's from the previous class. Same scenario every year, it seems. Just the nature of recruiting and wanting the best players at each spot.
The three are as physically ready as can be for high school seniors and incoming freshmen. Sure they might struggle against elite upperclassmen on the line, but they will be further along than most . They’re all huge, wont be giving up too much weight on DE’s. Just need to be getting taught the proper technique. Hartley should be excited.
All 3 of those te's would benefit from a redshirt year. The proper technique that they probably lack is what could get our QB killed.
Those guys aren’t getting redshirted
Not everything is for public consumption. All that’s important is that Gilbert will be a solo show wherever he winds up. Would take a miracle to pull him and another one of those guys.
Why isn't everything for public consumption? Because.....some will crucify @SoFL_Dawg for sharing it and others will crucify AG for what was shared.
They aren't going to play together - leave it at that.
Probably not, but probably not playing a ton either.
I've had my fill of guys like that. Glad he's the best athlete/ready made player whatever.
Gimme the team players and guys who wanna be here without being begged
