JHC was the only one that really concerned me, and mainly because I thought he may be able to bump down to LB and give us some speed there.

Neither Langley nor Wiggins had really done anything this spring that indicated that they would be significant contributors in the secondary. That could have changed in fall camp, but I wouldn't have bet on it.

Matthews is a separate case entirely. I won't speculate on his situation.

I was excited about Langley's size but then South Carolina happened.

JHC was rated a 98 by recruiting services.
Matthews a 96.
And Wiggins a 93.

You can't remove that level of talent on a defense and say that you don't feel it. Or that it doesn't bother you.

You can say that they didn't achieve anything at UGA.
They started in the SEC as true freshmen.
That's an achievement. And it absolutely leads to a quicker development and indicates possibly a higher ceiling in the future.

Pruitt is going to have to deal with this attrition. And it is absolutely not going to make his coaching job any easier (recruiting job... possibly. But the talent dip on the field makes his job much, much harder).

Langley impressed early enough to start and Wiggins was such a cerebral/instinctive corner. Even Bama corners take a couple of seasons to get their footing. Both those guys just needed some experience under their belts.

To indicate these subtractions are light is wrong imo. With that, I still think Dawson is good enough to hold down the 2nd or 3rd corner spot. One of Parrish or Fenteng (if not both)has to be a solid contributor and we'll be okay in the backfield. It's the safeties that is the worrisome position imo. |I think JJ Green eases some of the sting from Wiggins departure.
