'25 GA WR Travis Smith (Tennessee commit)

[HoleInTheRoof]

We’re gonna return to being WRU.

careful out on that limb fondadong.

True statement…but UGA has had 3 pass catchers (Pickens, McConkey, Bowers) drafted higher than any of UT’s since CJH took the reins.

And that’s basically what it boils down to in any WR recruiting now between UT (stats and recognition/college system) and UGA (do the no name work/pro style system)

Whew! Thank goodness you came along and put a couple of qualifiers that paint uga in a better light. I mean, after all, what is unabashed UT enthusiasm doing on a Tennessee forum anyway? Doesn't everyone understand that uga needs CONSTANT praise or their fans start to get all sad and depressed?

Thanks for keeping it pro uga. That was a close one.

It was smart of UT and Travis to delay the signs he was coming here until after the ON3 ratings update. This way he doesn’t drop in the ratings until the next update for committing to the good guys.

That’ll change. Heup walked into a dumpster fire while the talent was just handed to bowl cut.

Just what we need, more Georgia nut huggers clogging the recruiting forum.

They will crawl back under their rock when they start losing. The they will call into the radio stations crying. It is what they do best.

Only one I recall is aj green

George Pickens, Ladd McConkey, Jermaine Burton, Adonai Mitchell...all these guys were drafted in the last 3 years though Burton (Bama) and Mitchell (Texas) transferred.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

UGA people love to talk down to everyone they feel superior to, which includes everyone in the SEC except Bama. They have a Middle School female level of jealousy toward them.

None of them are very good or elite by any measure. None of them were in the ballpark of green.

Careful…you didn’t trash an opposing team so the PAC12 Vol is gonna come accuse you of being a VolDawg

Pickens is a baller. Just doesn’t have ideal makeup between the ears

 

[MarcoVol]

I think that’s the point though. You don’t have to have the gaudy numbers to get the NFL scout attention.

Don’t disagree. But damn Heup’s offense would be so much more fun to play in as a WR

And lack of production at uga

And lack of production at uga

True but he only dropped in the draft bc of his lack of maturity. That and an ACL injury

None of them are AJ Green, but he's one of the best receivers to come out of the SEC in the last 25 years, too, so if that's the barometer then very few WRs anywhere will measure up.

Plenty of room left between AJ Green and being a good WR, though. Not sure anyone called them elite, but all four guys were day two picks in the NFL.

Plus they played during the time of an All-World TE.

Incoming “Didn’t want him anyway” post from UGA posters.

Blow it out your ass nooga

“It’s the system” blah blah blah. Easy to look good when your whole team is better than your opposition at every position and nobody can afford to double team any of your players.

Be gone troll.

 

[PA Vol]

Smith, Gass, Perlotte, the two corners and rb makes for a solid haul from the state of Georgia. If we somehow pull that large OT, even better. Half of them UGA want/ed.

 

[Smackdaddy46]

This man is all Vol. signed up for VN to say this. YW.

Guys I told you this three weeks ago. Relax it’s in the bag.

 

[onevol74]

UT doesn’t even have the most WR’s drafted since 2010 in the SEC East! How do you claim WRU?

Probably because we are the only SEC school that has ever had 3 WR drafted in the first round in the same year.

Well Kirby is going into Year 9, let's table this until Heup is going into Year 9 and see if your statement will still be true. Highly doubt it will. Still no 1st round WRs doing that time.

Still a crazy stat though.
