Still looking to add more this year. It's really kinda perplexing. Lot's of young talented guys on the team. Yet we keep adding more and more and more.

I think there are also a lot of young WRs who I think can get it done. I don’t see how the Arkansas WR would be more reliable than the untapped talent we got now and we got lots of talent. It is time to start utilizing it. The USC guy had lots of speed that’s for sure. Latest I read was the staff has not decided yet if they are going to use Seth as an inside possession guy or an outside deep threat FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside deep threat please but then I don’t want him to get pigeonhole either. I just don’t understand why we can’t use a guy in multiple areas if his skill set is sufficient for it.

Unless there are some personal problems that we don't know about, the cupboard of wide receivers should be full to overflowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about blocking, but I thought he actually mixed up his use of TZach and Coates pretty well. Schwartz is faster than TZach and a better pass catcher than Sammie. Seems like a no-brainer. Lol. It's funny to think about all the no-brainers that have turned into brainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying the staff is right or wrong but their reasoning for going after the WR from Arky & ultimately taking Zach Farrar from Younstown St. was because they felt there wasn't a big & physical WR on roster.

AUApostle 7,651 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Still so many unknowns at the WR position tho...Are Stove and Hastings still SEC caliber after major injuries? Why hasn't McClain gotten more touches? Can Sal catch consistently? Will Matt Hill live up to his potential? Jackson is still an unknown. We know we can count on Williams and Schwartz...after that who knows what to expect? And who has a good relationship with Gatewood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird 60,571 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Gus seems to have an identity crisis. If he wanted a dominant run game, then we should've been bringing road grader OL, Run-first QBs, and power runners...but we haven't. We've instead brought in, what seems like, 37 wr in the last 3 classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Lol, there it is. Right on time. Gus will never trust his WRs. That's all it is. They'll never be good enough for him. My goodness, why do they keep coming here??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 3/8 are athletes who should probably be on defense, and the remaining 1/8 are special talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is fine but why is this the case? If that is a need then you need to recruit sufficiently . That is one of my biggest beefs with the staff. I hate the say it but I would be shocked if either of those guys make much of an impact on the field . The guy from Arkansas wasn’t a big deal when he left to their fans, who usually rant about everything. I think there was a reason for that. Granted they had suspect QB play. Unless there is a can’t miss prospect , I don’t imo they should be losing roster space for that. I could be 100 percent wrong in my feelings lol. Wouldn’t be the first time. Like UGA signed the #1 DE JUCO prospect last year. Yes get those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't bring in a Grad Transfer like him with the expectation of him not making an impact. If so that's a waste of a scholly & an enrollee spot.

DAG 33,997 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Sorry for ranting guys. I am really trying to stay positive but when I hear things like the staff is trying to figure out if Seth can be the guy? What the hell? What is there to figure out with that one? If it can’t be done seek help! You’ve been doing this now for the last seven years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doubtful things will all of the sudden change, because if this staff saw those glaring deficiencies then they'd have fix them yrs ago and they wouldn't find their arses on the perpetual hot seat.
