If Cook and others gets hurt , Wren can fill in that spot if needed.
I agree......Wren should be able to handle his 10-20 touches......per season.
With you here. My next question was what kind of impact loading up on pass catchers on '20 has on '21 class. We've seen how quickly these guys can make an impact, too. Where would we be without Blaylock and Pickens this year? Makes even more sense if we think any of our other current WRs aren't in the room next year (position change or transfer vortex).
We're sitting at 16 right now. I'm going to assume we can squeeze 25 in the class. That's 9 spots not counting a Zirkel blue shirt- so 10 spots if we BS Zirkel.
RB2
Smith, Burton
Washington, Johnson/ Henderson
Burch
Ringo
That's 7. Leaves 2-3 spots for BPA:
Stroud
Dexter
Maybe we look for a JUCO DB? What if Fromm stays and we don't need Stroud? Just still a lot of uncertainties I guess. Need dominoes to start falling so we can map this thing out.
Just read on rivals this morning that they are expecting manning in this class, said things have heated up a lot with stroud, mentioned burton and dexters under the radar visits. Also mentioned the reed Jr visit that jeff posted. Smith visit was mentioned as well. Where do we fall short at if we add an additional three dbs to this class
With that said, Bama did not start throwing the ball more until 2 years ago, when they had a STACKED WR room. No one expected them to flip their philosophy that won them 4 championships under Saban (Same philosophy CKS has right now).
Put all that speed at skilled position spots and you have a lot more balanced of an offense. I believe this is what Coley, Kirby and Hartley have aimed to do. They run heavy now, like 2017, because the WRs weren't at the same talent level as they are about to be. Our best WRs, Cager aside, are green as you can be and are still contributing. But 1 year under their belt with all of these 7 potential pass catches coming in... it instantly flips the spectrum.
I don't believe Kirby would go against the run like Saban has the past couple of years, but I do believe Hartley will keep his promise to DW and TJ, and I do believe that Coley will want to stay in prime position when it comes to recruiting WRs. With that said, 2020 and beyond should be expected to see a more balanced gameplan with 55-45 Run to Pass. In my opinion anyways. MAYBE 50-50.
I wish i was more bullish on Burch. Really feel like mamma wants him to stay home. He is close to Boom as he goes to high school with his son. Just feel like he is being sold on Cola pretty hard. Not to mention all of the smoke about LSU. I hope to be pleasantly surprised but have been let down a few times this period so I am remaining on the "low expectations" side of things. Florida and LSU finishing season so strong is sh!tty for us, honestly. Dexter would be a monstrous flip. If the info about a surprise visit is true, I am shocked. I thought UF's season would have been enough to seal that deal. All this being said, Kirby is best in the business and I have complete confidence he will do what he does best!
Its a good question, but probably better off asked in the 2021 thread, after this class is done. Moving parts change answers to much at the moment
It's beginning to make sense why we haven't had any commitment news for so long. ....
Probably our 2 top targets are in this class.....Ringo and Washington.....but have specific times they want to announce. Gives us 18.
Then there are so many uncertainties........it's reasonable to think that Kirby doesn't know the exact number yet. Is it 22, 23, 24, 25.
Playing this weekend may help solidify that number......if Georgia doesn't win.....and it's going to a normal bowl......some players may make some decisions.
Finally, Kirby may be holding a couple of spots for certain players.......i.e. a possible Dexter or Burton flip.
There will be some major surprises in 2 weeks.
About sums it up
Dont know the class size # but 23 has been mentioned the most. You guys can map out the names and see how tight it is. BS for Zirkel still on the table but not a guarantee.
I feel like defense will be addressed next year so the offensive focus this year makes sense. Defense is stacked and just needs pieces to continue success. Offense needs wr makeover as has been stated. I don't think the staff ever thought everyone would leave last year. If one of Hardman or Ridley stay to go along with JJ, we're not even having this discussion. Heck, if JJ is here to go along with Cager again we aren't having this discussion. In those scenarios, development wouldn't need to be rushed and it would not be as critical as it has turned out to be.
Everyone's gut feeling on Theo? Would love to have him in this class. Seems like such a hard worker and a future NFL star.
Heavy dose a salt with this but was told we are the reason he delayed announcement a week or so ago. He loves us but also wants to be closer to home.
If production wasn’t an issue on the field, I think it’ll be over.
Still UGA and PSU here “I think”. Can’t go wrong with 50/50.
I'm starting to hear more about him on other sites and that's usually a good sign. Those guys like their click-bait for sure but when they start to consistently write about players it's usually a good sign. Also they're writing more about him now than in the past. Another positive
