Haynes King

[dduncan4163]

What yall think about Haynes King? He damn near but UGA last season and the kid is a leader. He does have injury issues but I'd be all for bringing in. I think Huep and Hanes could get this offense purring.

Haynes…Chaney’s favorite.

Nothing burger. He’s legit. Don’t see him entering the portal tho. He’s found a home at G-Tech imo after that swamp experience in College Station.

He'd have to sit out a year

 

[butchna]

He'd have to sit out a year

Georgia Tech isn’t in the SEC.

 

[dduncan4163]

He'd have to sit out a year

I thought you only have to sit out if you transferred in conference? He played for Ga Tech last season

 

[NATHAN05]

He'd have to sit out a year

Only if you transfer within conference.

I watched him play last season and when healthy the kid balled out. He could barely stand and he damn near beat UGA. He's a helluva leader and a vet to boot. Doubt he leaves but money talks.

Well, at least it would make the Gtech game that much easier lol

More seriously, Haynes is pretty good with a 71% comp rate last year and took them bowling the 2 years he has been there.

Those who know, isnt GTechs offensive scheme more like Heupels now? I know its no longer the triple option but IIRC, its a pro style spread.

He seems to be a quality person too. I expect we could get him reasonably priced and still make it sexy. $1.2-$1.4?

 

[Rocky Top T]

Avery Johnson from Kansas State would be good too

Did he go into the portal or are you prodding someone to tamper. Not much of a passer IMO not the CJH type of QB but tough as nails, not a good fit for spread O.

It's a Read Option with the emphasis being the run game. It's a different scheme of course but it wouldn't be a huge learning curve I wouldn't think but I'm no coach either

I'd take him in a heartbeat

Portal opens up Wednesday.

Portal opens up Wednesday.

I know that but has he made his intentions known or is this just a hope/guess

[BigOrangeTrain]

No thanks. He is mid at best.

 

[Volanta]

I'd take him in a heartbeat

Oh like his game too. If you had to choose between King or Johnson who you takin?

 

[Volanta]

I like that he’s older. 24. Older players seem to pick up the system more quickly.

 

[volfanhill]

No thanks. He is mid at best.

Is what we have mid?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Avery Johnson makes the most sense. He's the best I've seen out of the names mentioned so far, but doesn't like he'd be interested.

Well, in that case, I’ve got a year of eligibility left and I’m waaaay older than King. I’ll pick up this offense in two shakes of a stick. Of course, these days I run about 7.5 40, throw the ball about 40 yards if my shoulder doesn’t get dislocated in the process and I’ll do it all for the low, low price of a year supply of Buc-ees brisket sammiches.

Honestly….ill take it!

Probably Johnson if I'm honest
