Gilbert was lost because we couldn’t showcase any kind of passing game because we simply didn’t hve the personnel to do so. He wants to play a flex TE position and we couldn’t demonstrate that we could do that whereas LSU was able to show that in spades with Moss and their big receivers.

True, but Burrow is gone and Brady likely won't be there past next year. Of course that doesn't answer the questions we have.

It’s not for lack of trying, just couldn’t convince the kid of what he was wanting to see and he made a smart move to go with a program on the rise in an offense that can guaranteed use him the way he wants to be used

If you want to lay that at Kirby’s feet for mismanaging his receiving group I won’t argue with you; Kirby fricked up

Makes sense and I think Gilbert made a good decision as long as they have a QB next year.

I really dont understand what these people are going for. nothing negative as yet to happen today. everyone we thought would come is in, and we are still in it for big names

Good insight. Makes sense.
Translation: our offense needs to evolve to attract top offensive prospects.

is it all freaking possible to just talk about recruiting on this thread?

we're still recruiting Blaylok and D-Rob?

Dude, it's ok to have both positive and negative opinions about different aspects of UGA's current team and the kids coming in. Most here who've seen my posts should know that I'm usually more positive than warranted about our prospects and it's often comes back to bite me, but I really do try to be honest.

Now, you're free to try and police people's posts, but unless you're going to go through this thread and make the same comment about other posts that are 100% unrelated to recruiting I'm going to assume you're saying I shouldn't give my opinion like everyone else. . . and then I'll politely ask you to STFU.

Oh they do.

Perhaps a little bit of the shine is off Kirby.

This is obvious to any objective observer.

Anybody that wants Gilbert over Washington is a real idiot. Go compare them. Washington is a program changing TE. He can't be guarded. He blocks like a damn bulldozer.

Also Rusty just said at the moment he is hearing stroud is leaning even more toward UGA.

---

LSU should want Gilbert over Washington, and he should want to be there over UGA. Their passing game will work very well with a kid with his skillset and tools.

A kid with more a traditional TE tool bag will fit perfectly with UGA. He's a great blocker, and he'll be a perfect outlet for Fromm. There's absolutely no way this team won't exploit the middle of the field with a 6'8 target abusing opposing LBs. Currently there isn't a great 5-15 yard option between the hashes, so he'll get 80% of those targets.

I think UGA is an awesome option for Washington if he wants to make an immediate impact and get national attention.

ETA:
This kid is the #1 target if the main goal is to improve the passing game next year. He'll make more of a difference than any of the WRs on the board.
