I'm coming back to this and a post I made awhile back. They probably did, and so did Evan's apparently.
He made the "because of the new offense they run" comment when asked why he was choosing the school he was going to attend. He was leaning back to us after being favored by the crystal balls to go to LSU ( I posted committed to LSU for awhile back then, oops). His comment confused me. Didnt think we ran a new offese. Seems to me these recruits knew what was up.
I'm not sure that just being told we're going to run a new offense would be enough. Think they would have wanted something more detailed than that. Am I wrong?
I’d be interested to see if Chubb makes any comment about him coming to uga
I think you’re probably right. Just curious how it all works behind the scenes if the deal is not ink’d and announced. Did Monken have any contact with these players to actually confirm the changes? It would still be kind of a tough sell for Kirby to say, “ we’re bringing in Monken, and this is what we’re going to do. The deal is not done yet, but looks pretty likely”.
Also makes you think if this was all in place that far back, it definitely had impact on the decisions of Fromm and some others leaving early as they might not fit well, or see themselves doing well with the new system.
I agree. We all know Kirby is a great recruiter. May never know how it exactly went down, but he made it happen
If everyone was looking for a guy that loves big plays he's the man. He's gonna aim for those and usually has a balanced run game as well.
Just for giggles... Tampa comps with UGA
Peyton Barber-> Zeus, KMac, Milton
Jacquizz Rodgers -> Cook (Edwards/Evans)
DeSean Jackson -> DRob, Smith
Mike Evans -> George Pickens, Landers, Bush, Robinson
Adam Humphries -> KJ, Rosemy,
Chris Godwin -> Blaylock,
OJ Howard -> Siether, DW, McKitty (Tongue)
Cameron Brate -> Goede, Fitzpatrick
Guys like Burton dont really have a comp but will surely be noticed.
Think of how exciting this will be for Monken with these weapons.
Monken first play call in the spring will be A?
Handoff up the middle... just to mess with the fans
Beat me to it lol
then he comes on the speaker and says no that’s too old and moves everyone to a 5 we set with all of them running posts and slants
That would be something too see. Just the thought of that has to make opposing DC's nervous.
I don't think he will make a public comment, but I do think Kirby had to have asked for his input behind closed doors at some point in the last couple weeks. Guessing there was a definite endorsement.
What I would really love to see would be for this new offense to drop 50 in spring game on our elite defense. Kirby would have a melt down.
10 personnel, for all the fans who think our TEs don't get involved enough.
Monken will likely use our tight ends as wide receivers between the 20s. Red zone he uses more 11 and 12 personnel. Darnell and Mckitty will be split out wide and should be excellent targets in the middle of the field.
We will go 4 and 5 wide frequently, often with a RB and/or tight end running routes, many times out of a motion. Also some pistol formation with 2 RBs or H back. Imagine dealing with a Zamir/Newman read option with a pass option to Pickens thrown on top.
Monken will leave no options unexplored. Going to stress coverages and assignments at every level.
The one DV was his wife.
Imo this is THE hire that is gonna get us over the NC bump with ZERO doubt. And because KS is the recruiting king even after Monken leaves n a few years it will have snowballed and along with a dominant defense being a priority; so will an offense that can light up the board.
Greatest time in history to be a DAWG!! Next 5 yrs= 2-3 NC's!
Just good coaching and staff hire. Addressing the only non A aspect of our program with a guy that not only has developed studs, but he can also get even average players open on scheme alone. Got a d a m n good fit for what this team needs. Next year can't get here fast enough.
I really really want to believe you.
I can't see CKS never getting over the hump. N he could arguably do it next year in half the time it took Dabo to win one. If a Natty isn't won in 5 years, there can be no excuses. We just have too many alpha DAWGS . And they're backed up by other blue chips. I just don't see any team in the country from top to bottom has a 2-3 deep everywhere like we do.
