This is pretty big. Mims and Vandagriff are both top 10 recruits in 2021 and will anchor the class and silence a lot of the concerns about keeping talent in state

No doubt. We're sitting pretty with several.

Had to let Corey Wren go when Burton flipped. Wren looks to be headed to FSU. Kid can fly.

I liked Wren. With a shift in offensive scheme, we might could have found a use for him (wouldn't trade him for Burton though). It seems like a long time since UGA really knew what to do with a small fast receiver. Even Hardman wasn't used to his potential.

Arian Smith is just as fast as Wren, maybe faster, and more polished a receiver, too.

We have deep threat targets with Robertson, Jackson, Smith, and Burton, for sure.

I think we're targeting a couple burners next year too. (Jaquez Smith and Jalil Farooq)

Agreed. Was hard to gauge Wren's potential watching him in that offense they ran.

Great group of receivers in this class.

Kirby visited and offered Ladd McConkey this evening

Possible late addition for UGA

Ladd McConkey....isn't even rated on 247. Dude is a monster of a player and has flown under the radar. Kirby Smart visited him tonight and offered him on the spot. Sent someone to his game Friday night as well.

247 Profile

He doesn't look like anything special until you watch his ridiculous highlight reel. Where it shows him playing QB, RB, WR, PR, KR, and DB. Dude destroys people on film.

Honestly whoever gets him is getting a damn good kid. I've not been so excited watching a Highlight reel like his in a while.

Opening Clip

Full Highlights


McConkey had a game this year where he....
Threw 2 TD's
Ran for 2 TD's
2 Punt returns to the house
And a pick 6

7 tds...all by him.

Sorry for the long post....I got excited about this player.

If we had to let Wren go then why are we still recruiting receivers?

Great question

Would watch to see if other receivers are offered to see if they're truly after another receiver or not.

No reason to really have 13 on scholarship. Had 10 on last year.

Monken runs a ton of formations with 3-4 wideouts and no tight ends. Wouldn't be surprised to see some roster turnover, especially after spring practice, based on what we plan to do on offense moving forward.

Was told that's 100% up to Monken.
Full control of the offense.


Other '20 guys-

Mckinlley Jackson- Been trying to get him on campus. No clue where that's at, but only heard Bama hear, and that's been the same since even before ESD.

SVP- Dawg

Broderick Jones- Dawg

Kids change of direction is elite ... rather amazing that anyone can fly under the radar in this day and age — hope he signs

First off, what games are still being played?

Second, holy cow! That catch at 3:57! I’m still watching, I’m sure there’s more.

Last, is it bad that I read his name as “McHonkey”?

Any reason this kid wouldn’t commit on the spot? Seems like a no-brainer if Kirby wants you.
