Graves and Curtis to WR....who's with me?
Graves and Curtis to WR....who's with me?
Curtis yeah i hope he does get moved to WR....Graves, not a chance8 WRs on scholarship....talk all spring about Gattis being unimpressed.....suit yourselves
Yeah and Clarke too..Graves and Curtis to WR....who's with me?
Could've been downplaying the situation....idk for sure but there's always a game being being within the game by these coaches.8 WRs on scholarship....talk all spring about Gattis being unimpressed.....suit yourselves

I'm not putting anything on Gattis but it was rumored that he was displeased with the WRs in the spring. It may not be a problem since we're deep at RB and TE and can use Knighton, Parrish, Arroyo, Skinner in the passing game. Brashard excelled lining up at RB. Jacolby George looks pretty dynamic with the ball in his hands. The aggregate talent on offense is very good but Gattis must get creative unless he can extract a lot out of what looks like an average WR corps.You're putting that on Gattis? A little premature, don't you think?
I'm concerned about not having a blazer. And I'm concerned that Washington and little Seymore are the only 2023 WR commits. I'm not panicked about Gattis.
Seymour won't be in this class. He's going to have to have a spectacular summer and senior season to stick in this 23 WR classYou're putting that on Gattis? A little premature, don't you think?

Mike Redding -- Top 200 kid, offers from multiple SEC schools, The Opening, UA All-American
Xavier Restrepo -- Not highly ranked but has produced at this level, albeit not much. Nobody expects him to carry a WR room, but very reliable, good hands, strong, can be a very good college WR and we have a sample at the college level to back that up.
Keyshawn Smith -- Not highly ranked but several P5 offers out west. Probably served more as a WR3 than an alpha, but has proven he can contribute. Likely not a stud, but not JAG either. Rotational kid, at worst.
Romello Brinson -- Top 150 kid, offers from everyone
Jacolby George -- Top 200 kid, UA All-American
Brashard Smith -- Top 250 kid, offers from everyone, Army All-American
Frank Ladson -- Was good enough for Clemson out of HS, #39 overall player in America, 30+ offers, The Opening, UA All-America, etc.
Isaiah Horton -- Multiple SEC offers, blue-chip prospect, should have the size to compete right away
This isn't even mentioning one of the best TE rooms in America, and one of the best RB rooms in America with MULTIPLE kids who are well above-average/elite pass catching backs. Rooster can be deployed as a de facto slot WR/scat back, Citizen has WR skills, Parrish caught 21 balls last year as a backup (We haven't had ANY back catch 21+ balls since Mark Walton in 2016), Chaney can certainly catch, DMoney has been praising Thad's receiving chops on here for 2 years. So TE is LOADED with pass-catchers. RB is LOADED with pass-catchers.
Do we really think ALL the kids I listed as the WR room suck? There's gotta be SOME talent there to polish, no? Even if we can get good production from half those kids, and they can be counted upon, we should be OK. I certainly am on board with the staff in wanting another WR. We do need someone proven. But assuming we add nothing to this room, I really don't see how this situation prevents us from attaining our realistic goals, unless we have the worst luck on the planet and every kid I listed above is a donkey.
I agree with this poster. Some of you guys are painting this room like this is the year we had Brian Monroe taking snaps at WR. Every guy in this room had big time offers maybe except for Isaiah Horton. Smith, Mello, Ladson, George were prime time. KSmith was a late bloomer and Restrospo is proving to probably be the most reliable in the room.Mike Redding -- Top 200 kid, offers from multiple SEC schools, The Opening, UA All-American

Malik Curtis should move to WR. Leave Graves at CB. Curtis can be what they were hoping to get out of that UCF transfer.
It seems like people get caught up in whatever the narrative of the week is.... If it's reported that the room lacks a true speed WR well that must mean they're all turtle slow and can't make any plays whatsoever....Mike Redding -- Top 200 kid, offers from multiple SEC schools, The Opening, UA All-American
