Tigerpro2a 5,650 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Louisiana Transfer WR Kyren Lacy had a good visit with us. J Lee thinks we have a great shot, but he is planning to visit LSU. That scares some folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like TEs are becoming so athletic, and some WRs are getting so big... like, what's the difference anymore, really? Kelvin Benjamin was more TE than Landen King is, physically. King is definitely leaner and probably more athletic. I'm basically considering him a WR at this point, given our depth at TE and WR. Sorry for all the words. Only meant to say I'm with you. And thanks for the additional info about Billingsley at bama. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d send him to some WR training camp over the summer and really go all in on converting this guy, because we need no depth at TE.

I wish the Falcons had made the playoffs so that we could watch Kyle Pitts some more. King is almost certainly no Kyle Pitts, but I feel like that's the blueprint. 15 yards per catch! That's 3 more per than Travis Kelce. Heck, that's 3 more per than Amari Cooper. (randomly selected, "pretty good" WR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(randomly selected, "pretty good" WR) Pitts is a freak of nature to me, but I think we’re going to have to rethink what that means. There’s olinemen dunking b-balls and doing crazy vertical leap splits these days. Seems like half the NFL could be considered “freaks of nature “ now. Can’t imagine what the next generation will be like in football/sports. I hope we can start getting our fair share.

W.E.D 11,070 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 So we essentially have week to fill out most of our spots, anyone think we're on track to do so? 18 HS/JUCO kids ~3 Feb HS kids 2 current transfers (Calzada/Jones) That leaves us with 9 total spots left for the portal. I'd imagine we want at least 6 or 7 of those kids signed and on campus next week. Anyone got a clue if we can meet that? Seems our best shot/needs would be DB - Oregon Transfer LB/Edge - Unknown OL - ULL, Cornell, WKU QB - Caleb or Hoover kid if we want another young guy or if there is any UGA QB fall out WR - ULL Kid That would be 7 with 2 remaining spots for spring transfers. Seems like that would be our ideal plan at this moment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I don't think Hunter Johnson (North Western) is one we will want to pursue. Initial fan reaction has not been particularly complementary to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt BH wants that headache to be honest. If the guy had work ethic problems in that system at uat, he wouldn't cut it here either.

One of the things I like about Harsin. He does seem very Saban-like in the fact he runs a pretty tight ship and doesn’t seem to put up with any BS. I feel like that has been missing from the program for a while, and one thing that led to a lot of issues. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very hesitant to give Saban any credit by calling it Saban-like. I suspect many if not most football HC’s fall in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
