Since you asked for thoughts... This is the approach I would take tbh, load up on obvious areas of weakness in WR and TE. I would definitely worry that it’s a bit of an over reaction, but if there is one thing you really can’t afford to do as a program it is to have the same problems year in year out. So IMO fixing the offensive skill talent is priority #1.
Would be thrilled with that receiver and TE class, we would get a good mix of speed guys, possession guys, ceiling guys and floor guys. A good blend of diverse talent at a position group that demands it.
Totally agreed- fill our biggest needs at TE and WR with final open slots... DB, DL, LB, RB all have high quality targets in the 2021 class.
Def. worth the risk, the kid can play and given what we have seen out of the WR group, I agree that Burton and most likely Rosemy push for immediate playing time which isn't a bad thing.
No different than a couple years ago when we took a chance and added Speed and Brini as the last 2 signees to fill big need at DB
.
If we are gonna commit that many spots to WR/TE, then UGA needs to throw the ball more than we do and have more imagination in passing game than back shoulder sideline throws.
Not really, they all won’t be ready to play at the same time.
Wren, Smith, and Robinson dont look like day 1 contributors to me at the WR position. All could contribute on ST, but I’d imagine it would be latter part of year 1 before we saw Wren or Smith at WR. Robinson could but he’s got Pickens, Bush, Landers all bringing similar skill sets. This is as much about the future as it is adding 4 immediate contributors (Rosemy, Burton, both TEs).
We don’t have to throw it more, we need to be more efficient when we throw. 25-30 attempts a game is plenty at ~ 65% completion. ~17 completions a game.
Kind of coat tailing this- we are in a win now mode. We have the defense and defensive depth to compete for championships on a consistent basis. Go fix the glaring weaknesses right now. The only way to do that is with numbers. 7 is a big number but even if we only get contributions from 2 of these guys next year it would be a win IMO. We could be absolutely LOADED by the time Pickens and Blaylock are Jr's. Let's flip the room this year.
I'm still shaky with the thought of no RB#2. This year would've been fine with just 4RB's on scholarship but Cook isn't built to take a heavy load and what if White or McIntosh roll an ankle? All of a sudden we're looking really thin really quick. If we get a solid RB2 then I wouldn't have any reservations about this class whatsoever.
Depends on definition of solid imo. Evans is off the table last I heard.
Not sure others are worth mentioning but unless it’s Jase here, are any others upgrades over Smith and Burton and the potential they bring?
If Stroud wants in, they gotta fit him in too. #’s are extremely tight.
With you all the way here. I’d like to see us grab a safety and an inside backer too but sometimes you have to do what’s best for your roster now and not 3 years down the road.
Some of my RB concerns were alleviated Saturday when I was really impressed with KMacs agility. I had kind of penciled him in as a JAG for us but he’s gonna be a player next year I think. If Milton is as good as advertised and Zamir turns to Zeus with another year of getting healthy we will be strong next year at that spot. The bigger bodied backs fit what we want to do better than swift does even if swift is a superior talent.
Also, Kirby has shown that he can find guys on D to contribute immediately. The freshman class this year on that side of the ball has absolutely balled out. So if next year we desperately need some instant impact guys I think we could pull the recruits necessary.
Man soflo.......normally I would say this is the dumbest idea I've ever heard......outside of wc, nyc and dgd ideas.
But you make a lot of sense and it's certainly reasonable to think that this could happen......or at least Kirby is open to it happening.
And it helps that he has some young studs on defense with eligibility left. If defense wasn't this stacked and young......this scenario probably wouldn't happen.
Our biggest needs......O-line and WR/TE. Those two positions may make up 10-12 players (half) of this class.
Is EJ Smith out of the picture? I'm curious to see what Riley does. McCellan would be huge.
Yeah I know this is crazy, essentially placing 1/3 of your class to the same group type. Just feel like it’s worth the risk. Go after 1-2 of the top targets at WR in 21, treat 21 WR like we’re doing with 20 RB.
Why ILB ?
I don’t know but i don’t think he’s good enough to take over the remaining targets, offense or defense.
