'16 JUCO WR Jeff George (UT commit 6/6/15)

My only comment regarding this discussion is that you don't have to be a major stat-stuffer to be a 'difference maker', which seems to be the debated benchmark here. He doesn't need to be an 80 catch, 1000 yard guy to be worthy of his scholarship. If he's a threat that defenses have to respect down the sideline and if he can help us turn 3 into 7 with consistency, then that's absolutely worthwhile.

My point: not every recruit is going to be a star. Some are recruited just to fill roles (ex. Johnathon Johnson), and if this kid is good at what he's asked to do then that's easily worth a spot in this class.

Guys - nothing has changed since the end of the season. It's not hard. Z stated to the media he was going after 4 receivers this cycle. They are loaded at slot, so they will probably be WR's. So one is a juco that is tall with good speed and catches in traffic with his hands (long arms) per the highlights. Tells you his future is the end zone and sideline routes. He needs to add 10-15 lbs. of muscle, learn the role, go play. That fills a need. That leaves 3 true freshmen to recruit and develop for the longer term.

We need both slots and WRs. it would be nice to get guys that can play both. We are not loaded at slot after this year since we lose JJ, Pig and Von. That leaves Smith that can play both any WR spot. Malone is a guy you can line up anywhere as well depending on the play call. Perry/Bruce are full time slots. If they are better than their ranking as we might think then that would make slot go from undermanned to looking bright again.

George is much needed tall target since You for sure lose North and Croom the year after next and possibly lose north after this year.

Hardeman would be huge since he can play any WR spot but he looks like UGA bound.

It's looking like Overton, Victor, Hardeman, Davis, Mitchell, and Corley are top targets remaining at WR. JG specifically mentioned Davis and Corley as toe key guys he is really after. He was already after Hardeman and Mitchell. 247 days we are all over both Overton and Victor battling for them.

I've personally seen very few people ever question CBJ player evaluations. Certainly not on Pearson, Weatherd and Owen Williams. Maybe a few star gazers on Mosely.

Are you serious? When Butch first offered Pearson, a ton of folks took one look at his ranking and offer list, and completely lost it. It wasn't till Von showed out all year that they shut up...looks like they would learn..but nope...here they are still *****in and moanin.

Yep I'm pretty sure I saw several moaning over the VP and Weatherd initial commitments because of offer lists. They didn't bother to watch highlights or wait for things to happen. Then all of sudden they get offered by all the big boys and then they change their mind to huge is a great pickup. By now people should see that Butch and staff are in most cases ahead of the curve in terms of evaluating kids and getting offers to them. In most cases we are going to be the first big school in the door.

I agree, but an sec starter should be obviously and easily the best player in most JUCO games, so guys who don't stand out in JUCO won't (in theory) stand out in the SEC. There's more to it, but I think that's where the concern comes from over wimpy JUCO stats.

So many things have to happen for a JUCO WR to shine. You need a QB that can get you the ball, a line that can allow a QB to operate, and a fellow WR that can prevent you from being double teamed.

I am very excited to see Jeff ball out here. This was a very high priority guy and someone coach Z described as "special". small forward with elite speed, hops, and hands of glue.... Yes please

His film is impressive he has great hands and body control for such a long and lanky build. He's probably fast too I can't tell. Those long strides have to make up for it if not.

Step aside CP! Not really but could you imagine the threat of another CP like reciever, Dobbs, and Hurd? Not to mention a pretty good TE in Wolf. Just need to fix our OL....

I was unaware we had room to take 4 wr this cycle. There's definately depth in this class for us to take 4 quality receivers. With J George and C Henderson in(both quality), that leaves 2 spots, but Im guessing those twos spots are not set in stone yet. Would love to see us end up with m hardman, k Davis, and maybe j Huntley.

Hoping this guy uses his frame better than Croom does. A different player but still that huge size. He won't be 235 but he could get up to 220.

You lost me on this one.

Best blocking WR we have and if I'm not mistaken was our leading Red Zone receiver last year. Is there room for improvement.....yes, but for no longer than the QB had in the pocket last year, JC had a decent season. None of our WR's had killer stats last year.

JMO of course.

Anxious to see how all the other pieces (RB stable a year older, healthy WRs, a sharp elusive QB, DeBord, Concepts) make that unit look. For the better I'm sure... Can only go up !!
