We dont have a superstar WR on our team. We have good depth at that position but no game changers.


wish our fanbase would get their heads out of the clouds and focus on reality.

He hurt his shoulder in fall camp.

Allegedly he would have been in the starting lineup against Michigan.

Shoulder injury in fall camp took most of his season.

He returned to practice a couple of weeks ago.

Well hot damn. I guess Ronnie Powell could've/should've led UGA to 4 straight national titles. Oh..you've never heard of Ronnie Powell? Well that's because he wasn't a gamer, but he rushed for about 300 yards in every spring game he played in.

Chris Black doesn't have a single collegiate reception and you're already calling him a 3 and done Bama fans

I was gonna mention Duron Carter but that's been taken care of already. What about Marvin Shinn.. yet another "next julio jones"?

Ok then I understand why he hasn't played this year. However, if I'm a bama fan, it seems absolutely stupid as hell to burn the guy's redshirt for 2 games, when I can instead get 13-14 games instead his senior year in exchange.

Blee Dat! Saban loves him. Mentioned him by name several times in the fall. And Saban knows talent.

Basically, we have two Percy Harvins now.

Saban also went all out balls to the wall to get Malcolm Mitchell, who chose UGA instead.

Does the fact he went to us make him less of a talent? Is Malcolm Mitchell not as good as Chris Black simply because he didn't go to bama? I guarantee if MM went to bama and had the career he's already had yall would be saying "Well yeah Chris Black has potential, but he's no malcolm mitchell"

Who is the other one? Chris Black hasn't taken a single snap in a college game and he's being called Harvin (who had nearly 7k total yards and 31 TDs in college)..

Please don't tell me you're talking about Cooper

Saban has won 2 titles in 3 years and is on track to make it 3 in the last 4. I think he knows what he's doing. If he plays the kid, he'll have a good reason.

WG_Dawg didn't know who Black was, so I gave him his Bama bio. I don't recall anyone giving a frick about Justin Scott Wesley.

He hasn't played because of injury so at this point we have nothing to go off of but practice. If Cooper has produced the way he has and Black was (allegedly) ahead of him in practice the logical conclusion to come to is that Black would've been good as well.
