“But I just think that I’m not really a good fit for the school.”
If this can't get Kirby Smart to realize that his approach to offense must change radically, then I believe he won't be the Head Coach at Georgia for many more years. Recruiting is ultra-important to him and here's a top level recruit who he has been after since before he played a high school game saying he didn't feel like he fit.
The SEC west has been the vanguard of the conference for awhile now and , like it or not, they are starting to go the way of the Big 12, high powered, air-raid style offenses, with okay defenses. And that's where football is going. The reason why Florida has caught up to Georgia so quickly is they are the only SEC east team which is attempting the same style.
I hate to say it, but the design of the Ga's TE room, is just a place where dreams go to die. CKS should just be honest with them and tell them "we need you to put on 60 pounds or so, so you can be a more physical tackle". That is what he uses them for.
I really hope the offense does more in the coming weeks.
Gilbert does know that Burrow is not going to be there next year, right? So, the offense may want to be the same, but will it?
Will just have to wait and see.
Go Dawgs
I honestly don't believe we will get either one of the top guys we are recruiting at tight end. The question is, why should we? How long have we heard we are going to get the tight ends more involved in our offense. We don't throw the ball down the middle to anybody. I know if I were being recruited as a tight end I sure wouldn't go to Ga. and essentially play an offensive line position which is what it has turned into. Sorry folks it ain't happening!!!!
@ CEPH (and all others) we will get at top tight end. Take it to the bank. Gilbert may not like the LSU offense as much when Burrow isn't there. That's what he sees now. He thinks it's the offense that's making them good now. It's the QB that's making them good now. Let's see how good LSU does without him. The sky isn't falling on UGA with all this....our offense is so terrible talk that's been going on. We haven't been able to make the TE a big part of our offense because we haven't had one that's great as a receiver. Good, but not great. It's looking like we will get another top 5 class, maybe even top 3 again, with a great TE included. If we beat UF and have no major injuries, we will roll the rest of the season. I have to say, that's a BIG if. Not very confident this year. Hope I'm wrong, DAWGS need to get fired up!!!
Well, if you believe what he said literally then it sounded like UGA was never in the mix - sounds like Bama would've been second. Everyone blames our offense, but honestly at his age, I don't think kids really are interested in lying. They are instead swayed by smaller things like how good our/their cafeteria is. The weather could affect their decision. Their mood for that day. Who knows. Not every kid makes the right choice and clearly Fields in where he needs to be now and I don't think anyone would argue that he should've picked Georgia.
So... lets move on. I'd be more irritated if Zachary Evans (RB) chooses LSU vs us given how successful our RBs are.
The real reason for Gilbert and these difference maker type players is obviously this ridiculous offense that Georgia is running. Watching Bama & LSU with their high scoring and exciting Offenses, why would any superior athlete want to play snail ball. Kirby better wake up and quick!
I'm happy for the guy. He wants to go to LSU.
So please, DawgNation.com, take his smiling mug off of your front page.
