2023 Hykeem Williams, 2023 WR (signs w/ Forfeit State)

[Billy D Williams]

I feel like UGA winning it all this past year set up the blue print which is to have a little patience for the boosters/NIL. UGA did have the benefit of being in the SEC East so they could hang their hat on being in the SECCG.

A&M is in the position of anything less than 11-1 is considered a failure but the $ will still be there for at least another class or 2.

True. Ga was lucky Williams blew his acl otherwise . Ga been stacking talent, but replacing those DL will be a tough task for them.

That’s still too much money for an uproven player at a position with an insane bust rate going from HS to CFB.

I’d pay that all day for a portal player. But not for a high school WR recruit.

I can see the NIL market shaking out the sam way as the NFL salary hierarchy.

QB
Pass rush or big MF’er
DB
OL
…everyone else.

Wow, I didn’t know that the cap had flipped like that.

I’d like to amend my statement somewhat, to say that portal WR is worth the money. Still not sure a high school player is.

The new era of Football on offense, is mainly centered around having a great QB & giving him weapons on the outside.

Having a big time QB with a 3-4 big play WR’s has become imperative & this year’s Portal season was reflective of that.

Macho, your avatar has great potential.

Guys who can pass...

And guys who can get after the passer!

A casual fan might think GM's would spend the most money on the guys who defend the big money WR's (DB's)...but instead they're spending it on the guys who get after the QB. (because a good pass rush makes any DB unit looks better)

That salary list speaks volumes.

Going to be interesting to see how these NIL deals play out in the next few years. Hopefully, they are all incentive based otherwise you are going to see tons of busts.... 18 years old kid with lots of money.... What could go wrong?

You mean achieving certain performance bonuses. That implies pay-for-play.

I had thought ...

 

[rustywalkedaway]

This is also because the WR market just got dramatically re-set. We'll see what Aaron Donald's new deal does.

Is this a BMac (that snake) thing with UGA??

 

[htownkidd]

I like how he just conveniently left out his most recent unofficial to us, lol. Almost makes you wonder …

 

[AUcane]

We’ll keep recruiting him but it’s almost pointless at this point

Crazy how top WR’s see UGA’s #1 WR transfer out after winning a National championship and consider them a destination.

 

[joseermonfils]

This is the weirdest recruitment

Getting paid $500,000+ a year to block & you’re not even an OL, fck it, why not ? Lol

$ not really $

 

[caneholic88]

We might not get him but lol at Donk and Financially Strapped U thinking they got a shot..

I get getting paid but sheet go to OSU or Bama and get paid while catching passes if it’s about the money, even if you get a little less paper

Who was the last TAMU receiver who got more than a cup of coffee in the league besides Evans?

Has Jimbo put a single dude in the league at the position who wasn’t a total bust?

OSU, Bama, these places make sense for a WR. Going to TAMU with Jimbo’s “so slow it breaks the SP+” offense is literally saying “I’ll believe any lie so long as it’s told by Andrew Jackson.” It’s possibly the worst offense in college football for a wide receiver since Paul Johnson got canned.
