I agree this year felt like an underperformance especially on the offensive side. I think our d-line will be border line elite next year. Our LB’s will be great. Hopefully stokes comes back cause our corner’s will be great as well. I’m a lil concerned at the safety position cause we have unknowns there. I’m thinking Reese and Cine will start but nobody knows until spring and summer workouts. I’m a lil concerned on the o-line based on new guys and I think CML will bring a new blocking scheme to this team as well so idk how long it will take those guys to adjust to it. Rb’s we have elite talent there but nobody looked like the next guy up after swift so right now we don’t know who will be that guy for us. And the biggest question mark and the most important position on the field is qb, nobody has a clue on how anyone will perform if Fromm declares so I do have concerns but not talent concerns. I think our coaches can coach em up to an. 10-11 games next year. I’ll add this I really want our qb’s and wr’s to practice all summer long together and build a connection cause we know what LSU did over the summer.
I think losing the 2 Safeties is gonna be a bigger deal than anything (considering our lack of pass rush from our DL in the CKS era)
Also
We have less WR depth heading into 2020 than we did at the start of the 2019 season (post Holloman departure). Went into the 2019 season with 10 and right now are projected to only have 9 for 2020.
4 new (14)
2 lost (12)
1 injury (Dom) (11)
2 unsure if they stay in the position (Tongue/Blount) (9)
2 with 0 production through 18+ months on campus (Landers/Bush) (7)
That leaves Kearis Jackson, George Pickens, Demetrius Robertson as your only WRs heading into 2020 with any kind of productivity.
IMO we NEED 2-3 grad transfer WRs & D’Eriq King.
I signed in 1985 and I can say that Johnny B Good was an exaggeration........but only slightly
When do updated player rankings for 247 come out? Anyone know
WR based on current facts
Total of 12
It'd be beneficiary for Fromm to return if you think you can work the run game back towards what it was in 2018 overall (and it's not just having better depth at RB, it's also getting the interior run blocking back to what it was and WR blocking). In that case pulling back some in games in doubt on passing more (but not totally), would work and put out a good offense.
That doesn't necessarily mean that I'm not going to let the backup QB run offense (which was the other thing seen in 2018). If there's garbage time I'd let Beck come in and run offense for more than a couple drives.
If you're doubtful though about where you think the run game is going to be, then I do say it's time to move on and potentially take your lumps.
At least as of now before I've seen other moves (NFL, besides the ones that I feel comfortable about saying, coaching moves like if Grantham stays in Gainesville for one example, etc), I'm kind of wishy washy on how I feel about this.
Top freshman RB talents are usually ready to play. If Zeus isn't his old self, you can get a fair bit of run from Milton/Evans if needed.
If Kindley and Cleveland stay (at least right now it sounds like he will), when they've been themselves they've been very good at run blocking.
Then on the other side...
Transitioning away from Pittman's style of blocking might be an issue as I remember transitioning to his style had some shaky results in 2016.
If Grantham walks from Gainesville, and there's always a chance it happens with how he rolls, I'm going to be very nervous about what happens in Jacksonville. Kirby's defense does "own" Dan, but from how I see things, Grantham's way of calling defense has been very costly to Florida in these matchups and I'd probably say even more costly than how Dan does vs Kirby.
At least for now, besides the Florida/Grantham question, I'm doubtful about any other problems besides that trip to Tuscaloosa until I see more information.
Part of me thinks that having new guys taking over (on offense, in particular) will necessitate a more simplified offense....which will hopefully result in more slants and short passes....which will then allow our more talented, speedy WRs/TE/RB to make plays in space.
I like our odds of performing well with this scenario. Just hope the team puts in the effort to make those connections and develop trust with each other early on.
They just released updated 247 composite rankings on 12/15. This reranking wasn't from Top247, so must have been ESPN or Rivals updates. Last year there were 247 composite rerankings on 12/14, 1/15, and 1/31 (1/31 was due to Top247, the others were Rivals or ESPN).
Holy smokes. Jumped on to catch up and had 51 straight (and long) off topic posts. There are other threads on here. All love, but ****, fools.
(Yes, I do get the irony that my post is also off topic.)
People talking about what we might lose in personnel tend to skip right on by our inside LBer group it seems. If we lose Rice to the NFL as expected, then we are replacing both starters there too. Granted, we have a deep and talented ILB room, but experience lost is still experience lost.
With only hopefully 1 spot left there is little else to post on here. Most of the posts you deem off topic relate to determining the most needed position of that recruit. It is far more important to fill a perceived hole than whether that player is rated 120, 150. 200 or even 250 given. The need can and will be determined in short order whereas the real ability of the recruit wont be known for 1-2 years or more.
@SoFL_Dawg
Confirmed EEs are:
Carson Beck, Warren Brinson, Jalen Kimber, Kendal Milton and Justin Robinson.
Burton is a maybe... some clearinghouse stuff.
CKS did say "5-6" EE's so that would make sense. Beck and Robinson are already there from what I heard.
Evans would make 6 and CB now stands 12-6 UGA with latest addition (Biddy - Ark insider)
100% agree, I just cant see the offense being worse.
We might lose LeCounte but defense should be better next season. Next season shouldn't be a down year. Albama is the only game that concerns me. We have Auburn at home and Florida is just overrated. We shouldn't lose to anyone else on our schedule (hopefully we don't have another SCjr game).
Appreciate the Fromm and other personnel analysis. As one who stands to learn more from listening than talking, I can only add some life lessons.
Human nature is to be somewhat overconfident to predict the future. We assume a stock is going to continue to move in the direction it has. Prior to this season we conjured whether anything short of a Natty was a failure (we were not that close, did not for see injuries at WR).
1978, 80, and 2017 are examples of great years after sorry years. Could happen in 20.
What’s taking rusty so long to drop his cb on Evans?? Thought those guys got rewarded by earliest to submit?
I've shared this with you but I'll share it with others.
I'm higher on Jake than you probably are....but you make some very good points.
I just don't think that college football.....especially in the elite programs.....is designed for a young man to be the starter for 4 seasons. It's usually best to move on.....
Georgia is recruiting elite players.....if they are good enough to start as freshman......play 3 and declare. If they need time to develop then red shirt, learn and then leave or graduate.
It helps to continually fill the pipeline if it isn't getting bogged down.....
And it's especially difficult to play a high profile position like QB for 4 years....they naturally get special treatment and it can rub some guys wrong...especially the younger guys.
Any thoughts on who may be calling the plays? Kirby alluded to possible offensive changes. Given CML’s work with Rich Rod would he be an option as an analyst or on field coach?
Great post.....please post more. We need more quality posters
I agree with this......and Kirby may not really know where his biggest needs are until after the Sugar Bowl.
