'24 MO WR Ryan Wingo (Texas commit)

[unfrozencvmanvol]

So we can't get the recruits until we beat them on the field, and we can't beat them on the field until we get the recruits!

PS. I do agree we made a big step last year!

We can beat them for recruits, it's just tough sledding right now to pull somebody they really want unless we have some real good in with the recruit. We've just got to keep rebuilding our brand with recruits. Last year was our first double digit win season in the memory of most of today's high school recruits. UGA has won double digit games most of their lives.

GA just won 2 national championships, and they pay more than anyone. Nobody should be surprised if they continue to get the top recruits. Especially knowing KS will try to get players just to keep them away from us.

Bear Bryant/Nick Saban strategy. Have to fight through it, but it’s countered these days with the portal option.

 

[Skullbone]

Meh. Screw Georgia. We'll get them sooner or later. There's plenty of fish in the sea. They can't take them all.

Yep

People talking about fails is comical. We are battling for recruits at the top of the food chain. We may not win the battle for most five stars, but we are in there finishing 2nd in most cases. That says something to the recruits that feel like they should be a 5 star and have a chip on their shoulders. When we miss, another 130+ teams missed as well. We all want to dethrone UGA and continue to take down Bama, but that work is mostly done after signing day. We will get ours, but not winning recruits head to head with UGA is not a fail.

Wingo: 'Coach, you told me i'd be the top receiver in SEC as a freshman. If I chose Gawja over TN, that you'd throw the ball 40 times a game!'

Dumb: 'Aha yup.'

Wingo: 'Coach, you've thrown the ball three times in 6 games.'

Dumb: 'Aha yup'

Wingo: 'All I do is block', 'coach'. 'coach...'

That gif is freaking hilarious. Please see my notice of acquisition below.

Assumptions. The same assumption made about Alabama.

It’s comical at this point.

 

[jakez4ut]

Good grief. Do you never get tired of acting like a 8 year old girl?

 

[LittleVol]

If he can't see Tennessee is perfectly suited for his skill set.
Then God bless him lol.

Let him go to UGA where he block and get owned by our big physical DBs!

Absolutely true but I'd like to get hold of some of the pixie dust they use to motivate and develope talent. They must have stolen it from Bama when KS bolted to UGA. There for a while it didn't matter what coaches left Alabama, they just kept winning Natties. UGA is doing that now.

 

[1989Vol]

We don’t know if they have a QB that can stretch the field better than Bennet. We just know they have some highly rated options. Something UGA has ALWAYS had yet Bennet out-performed them all. I expect regression in Athens. Hell they almost have to regress. Can’t get much better.

It's their defense that nobody can beat...............it's not their offense. We averaged 45 pts a game until we rolled into Athens.
We scored against many of their backups with 3 minutes to go in the game and thought we accomplished something. If there is regression for them, it won't be on defense. This is what WE NEED.............a defense with DEPTH. That is what wins National Titles.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

How can they be the leader for Matthews, Wingo, Jefferson and then they have 4 other WR committs? Are they gonna sign 7 or 8? They don't even throw the ball to the WR.

Success. NIL. Under the table money. Elite coaching staff with elite recruiters.

I mean they averaged 41.1 ppg in ‘22.

3rd in SEC in pass ypg @ 295.8, more than Bryce Young and Alabama.

Don’t think they lead for Matthews as of rn.

 

[1989Vol]

Translation: "We don't know how to develop QBs, so we gonna run the ball ALOT!"

That makes zero sense.

Biletnikoff U Thanks Jalin Hyatt

I'd trade every stinking individual award we have for a single East Division Championship.
Dont give a squat about the Biletnikoff or any other award.
I don't "feel good" that Hyatt won the award vs watching our rival gloat with their 2nd straight national title.
I want a SEC Championship and the chance to win a NC.

That is exactly what every football fan in the nation wants. It’s very rare.

In the meantime, I am beyond ecstatically thrilled that one of our great receivers finally got the award he deserved. Let’s get back to WRU, baby!

Thrilled that JH proved everyone wrong that wrote him off as a failure.

Nothing will ever take away the ecstasy of his 5 TDs against AL.

The success of him and HH led to getting the #1 player and best QB in the nation last year. Which is needed to get to where we want. His commitment led to an excellent class with some excellent players. As they say on Rocky Top, the future is bright.

But you can choose to be miserable if that’s your desire.

You wouldn't have to read many of my posts to know I agree with this sentiment. I would only add that getting players who can win national awards like that is a step in the right direction toward winning at a high level. Not the only step needed... but one of them.

That is something that the best Defense in the Country does. It give the ball to the Offense so they should score a lot of points , even if their Offense is only average.

Right there with you! Sucks seeing multiple different sec rivals win championships and you haven’t sniffed one in 25 years… hopefully that changes.

Getting Wingo would be great. If he goes somewhere else it's not a death sentence to our program, we will be fine.
