I really hope this works out for him. He’s been a DGD and I’ve hated to see him injured for so much of his time here. My impression from afar is that he has handled all this well. So best of luck and thanks for being part of some great seasons!
Dom Blaylock, Kearis Jackson two of my favorite Dawgs. Course ALL the Dawgs are my favorite Dawgs !! Hate to see them go but I know they have to do what is best for their lives. Now in total ( and Selfish on my part) contradiction to what I just said I sure Hope Ladd and AD will decide to stay. But if they go, No there sure won’t be any animosity on my part. They to have to do what they feel is best for them. I’d just love to see them in action along with the other receivers both new and old. See what the receiver room can do behind a new QB whether it be Beck, BVG, or Gunner. Success and the change from success can sometimes be some what painful. I’ll always be grateful for the wonderful memories ALL these Dawgs have given this ole codger !! Wish Em All the very best that life has to offer. Go Dawgs !!
Sounds like Bryan McClendon is cleaning out the WR room. Look for a big change in the offensive style, next year. My God...they're gonna be better than 2021 & 2022.
They could've competed against most NFL Teams over the last 2 years. Next year...they could go to the Super Bowl and win.
Not ready for Ladd to leave he’s one of our best weapons. Defensively hate to see Blaylock go also hasn’t been same since injury
Good grief @rxmaster let me list it from the NFL itself.
PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for the draft, players must have been out of high school for at least three years
And we see that Adonai Mitchell graduated high school 3 years ago:
Graduated in 2020 just like CJ Stroud, Bryce Young and Darnell Washington: https://www.maxpreps.com/nv/las-vegas/desert-pines-jaguars/athletes/darnell-washington/?careerid=jc43q89rtitee
What is your basis for continuing to say that Mitchell is not eligible for the draft? Please tell us. Because - as has been stated several times - NFL draft eligibility has nothing to do with when Mitchell earned NCAA eligibility and joined UGA. Or anything having to do with the NCAA at all ... the NFL doesn't even require you to attend college in the first place, plus they have drafted players from NAIA schools, from JUCO and from overseas (the CFL and rugby players) and even former Olympic sprinters. Now Mitchell isn't coming out because he has barely played: 18 games for 560 yards including only 9 catches this year. But he could if he wanted or needed to.
As for Ladd McConkey, there is nothing for him to announce. Redshirt sophomore WRs don't leave for the NFL off 50 yards per game unless they are impetuous or are facing academic/financial/legal problems. Kearis Jackson is leaving because he has done his 5 years and even has his degree. But for McConkey the combination of his average numbers - 770 yards - and measurables (6', 185 lbs, 4.5 40) and UGA's not playing an offense that resembles anything that is done in the pros makes him a 5th round pick at best. With a strong 2023 season - get that 50 ypg up to 75 - in a more conventional offense he can get up to the 3rd round (and also get his degree).
Umm … Darnell Washington was in the 2020 recruiting class … Mitchell was in the 2021 recruiting class. 🤷♂️ They didn’t graduate high school the same year.
But, I enjoyed your rant.
I think Mike Griffith just enjoys the attention of saying things in the most controversial way he can. Much like “Details scare in care accident” …
Why ? Why say it that way ? Because it’s his not so subtle snide way of writing things. I guess he thinks it’s cute. 🤷♂️
Bro you have to do what you have you do. You got 2 rings and you will always be a Dawg. Without those injuries you were well on your way.
Hate to see him go. Good luck to him (except if he goes to another SEC school :))
Gotcha! I do seem to remember that article now. Obviously, we all hope they will stay.
"Ladd McConkey, yet to announce future intention
Adonai Mitchell, yet to announce future intention"
If I understand correctly, the deadline (midnight on Monday 1/16/2023) has passed for underclassmen to announce their intentions to declare for the NFL draft. The deadline for entering the TP is midnight on Wednesday 1/18/2023 and will open up again on 5/1/2023 for about a two week period. If this is correct, I think we can assume that McConkey and Mitchell intend to be on the UGA roster for 2023.
GO DAWGS!
I hate to see Dom go but he was down some on the depth-chart. I hope McConkey returns. I would like to see what Ladd could accomplish with a full year while hopefully being 100% healthy.
I hate to see him go too. Seems like a really good kid. WIsh him the best!
Can't blame Dom. When he was finally back to full strength Stet rarely threw to him - probably because he was more comfortable with McConkey, Bowers, and Mitchell.
Good luck Dom!
Dominic Blaylock is a gifted player who has been out played for the past 2 years. He could have done a lot next year. If I were he, I would go to Texas. At any rate, so long.
