And @jbdawg03 I agree he could add weight but SDE would be out of position for his current type of play.
As i mentioned previously,
https://forum.dawgnation.com/discussion/6352/next-to-commit-to-the-g-2020/p1231
ive watched him play in HS. Great athlete and can pass rush. Does he want to stay in the mix and be a run stuffer, taking on SEC tackles as a DEnd ,do the dirty work ?, not from what ive seen.
247 - breakdown - “Has positional versatility. Athleticism and frame combo points towards edge pass rusher but he could be effective at linebacker or on offense at tight end long term. Plays too high and is not refined. Doesn’t seek contact out. More of a finesse athlete currently.”
Great googly moogly - look at those tree trunks for arms!
Maybe Kirby can...I am just curious about the sudden shift in evaluation about him at this point especially given how his stock has dropped a bit with the recruiting services and with teams that were hot and heavy on him during last summer (Tennessee and South Carolina). We passed on other more highly rated players (BJ Ojulari and Zy Walker) who are better fits at OLB and DE, respectively...yet would pursue someone that is a tweener and who has questions about what he is position wise. I realize recruiting boards change but like the late push for Lundy, this seems like a situation where there were better options at the position available but they chose not to make the effort and stay pat only to start reaching now. This is more true with Lundy than Grimes but given how tight we are going to be with scholarships in '21, would it not be better to just pocket the scholarship rather than take a player who will only be a depth piece and you don't really have a plan for. I describe Grimes this way because it is not as though he was an unknown quantity coming his senior season (his hype was greater last year and summer)...if we wanted him, why didn't we pursue then?
I understand where you are coming from. If you read my post......I don't believe he is flipping to Georgia and haven't read the rumor anywhere except today on here.
My point wasn't about whether he is or isn't considering Georgia.
My point was to be careful not to downplay or call signing a 6'3 240lb athlete "meh".
He may turn out to be "meh" .....but good chance he isn't.
The only FBS schools to offer Mahomes were Texas Tech, Rice and Houston.....he didn't turn out to be "meh".
So are you telling me this guys is the next Pat Mahomes /s
I am definitely not
Pat Mahomes system QB
@CZCashvilleDawg This could be pretty cool at UGA for 2020... the "potential" that is here for "D-Rob" to finally realize his FULL play-making ability, while we see the future out on the field with "J-Rob" and all of this on the offense, with Pickens, and Blaylock, etc.. in Georgia's PASSING game?? How cool is that???
Any word on if Cameron Kinnie is leaning our way? I thought I remember @JeffSentell saying that he probably was leaning away but can’t remember for sure. Any one have any ideas?
If there is a flip it will likely be on DL. I wouldn’t consider any of these options as a “major” flip, which is what has been broadcast by insiders at Rivals apparently.
The Grimes vs. Walker comparison doesn’t really fit imo. Walker pushing 260-270 today. True edge, bigger than Cox was. Grimes doesn’t fit the physicality profile we typically look for and would likely struggle to emerge in that room. Keep in mind we still have guys like AA who hasn’t yet cemented himself on the two deep. If Grimes is in this class, safe to say we mismanaged the position from earlier in cycle. BJO comes to mind here.
Huntley is one that would make more sense imo, but we’re sitting nicely with numbers at 3T DT. We’ll see if Kirby has a surprise in store or not.
Sewell kinda screwed us here. We coulda went full court on Simpson, Bj or Flowe and not been in this position, if Kirby is really looking for another LB. We should make a final push for Burch or Evans and save spots for next year. I’m not even sure why we went after Ladd, hope he works out.
Burch ship has sailed, if not USCjr, hes LSU bound. Evans several current players allegedly stepped forward and told coaches they would prefer not to have Evans "attitude" effecting the locker room chemistry.
Ladd impressed Kelee Ringo, the best CB in the nation, with his ability to cut and create separation. I think he is a guy the services whiffed on rating, and dinged him too severely for his size.
I think the LB talk is just speculation at this point. And how did Sewell screw us? He chose a school he thought he'd fit well at. If the staff is going hard after an linebacker at this point, then I'd have to think there is going to be unexpected attrition on the current roster for them to be doing so.
Have you watched Ladd's tape? He looks like a solid pickup for slot receiver to me. What about his tape makes you think he's not good enough?
It not Ladd it’s that we were already heavy at that position this year. If Sewell wouldn’t of shown so much interest we could of went after one the two instate guys that ended up ranked higher, same with Burch.
To utilize spread concepts we needed more bodies at WR. Also, did you see what happened this past year after we had several injuries to key players at WR? We'll have 13 scholly receivers after NSD, I imagine we see 2 guys leave and we settle in with 11 scholly WR for the 2020 season.
