'13 GA CB Shaq Wiggins (Transferring to UT)

Talent isn't the issue on the backend..... Martin, Osbourne, Warrior, Abernathy and TKjr had offers from everywhere. Gaulden is a dog period. The incoming freshmen all had a big offer or two. Talent isn't the issue....

Let's hope Warren is better than Martinez
 
Congratulations? Not trying to piss in everyone's cornflakes here. I think he's a talented undersized DB, but I don't think he's quite the difference-maker some on here are projecting him to be. I know his stats and have watched him play at UGA and UL. My opinion is well informed, but it is still just my opinion. I would be happy to be wrong.

Well, since he is essentially a "free" player as far as roster spots go, I hope we get a chance to find out. He very well may not be the answer at CB. Let's see
 
He might not be Deion, but if he came here he would provide veteran leadership and basically would be giving 110% for his final season with likely NFL aspirations.

Definitely hope he comes here.

Whatever happened to Deoin Bonner?
 
Unfortunately we are in really bad shape at CB, so any addition like this would be welcome. They've done a horrible job in recent years with CB recruiting. Hopefully that changes with Warren now on staff. Justin Martin is probably the only guy on the entire roster who has high level talent there.

Osborne has talent, I think he can still be very good.

Could not agree more. Now that we have a secondary coach with a proven track record their talent can and should show. I am very excited to see our defense this season, because I think it will be greatly improved with the additions of Warren and Hoke.
 
Does he just count against the 85 total number of scholarship players since he's a Grad transfer?
 
"It's just a great situation and environment," Wiggins said. "They have great fans and it's really good football. Tennessee plays great teams and they already have great players. It was just a good feeling. I prayed about it and I was going day by day and the ability to think and go over it with my family, Tennessee was just the right place."

"Me and Alvin are very similar in our personalities," Wiggins said. "We have been knowing each other for a while now. We know what the process is like and what the feeling is like to go from school to school. Going to JUCO in Kansas or going to Louisville and sitting out a year. We have always stayed in touch and he gave me good insight on what he thought of Tennessee and the coaching staff."

"(Justin) Martin is from Atlanta and I've been knowing the Berry boys since elementary school," Wiggins said. "I pretty much know the boys since I was coming out of high school. Todd (Kelly) Nigel (Warrior), I've known them all for a while. So it did make things easier with the fact I've known them. I can adapt to anything."

New defensive backs coach Charlton Warren has made a big impact in a short amount of time with his current group of corners and safeties. He relates well to players and is very well thought of in football circles. Wiggins has just been around him during the last few weeks, but he's already seeing what Warren can do. "I like how he explains things," Wiggins said. "He knows the in's and outs of the game of football. He is big on the mental aspect of the game with the coverages. He wants to make me a better player."

"I think I'll bring someone who has experience," Wiggins said. "I think I bring wisdom, confidence and energy. Just the ability to make plays and win. I think I'm a good teammate."

I'm all for the Mods changing the Thread Title to get that "UGA Commit" Cesspool verbage off there and change it to UT Commit. Who's with me?......
