WR Dont'e Thornton (Oregon transfer) is visiting this weekend LOL commits to Vols

[WeBallinBoyz]

When do the win total odds come out for the 23 season? Seriously asking

Spring/early summer

There’s something that caught them off guard with him non football related but let’s be real , this is like the 30th outside wr to not come and a former player for Mario. At this poInt nobody cares, the proof is in the pudding . It’s year two and no wr wants any part of this place , portal or HS.

Remember last year I was saying there was a narrative about Mario and offense out there ? I think it’s safe to say it’s a tad more than a narrative now.

I agree UTK is where he’s trending but last I heard he had one more visit planned.

Is Mario going to address it or is the plan to be UGA-like on OFF?

You say that about UGA but they recruit stud receivers and just got two proven studs from the SEC to portal in. Of course you want to be able to run and throw equally well, but that doesn’t mean you can do it without stud receivers.

Mario doesn’t call plays nor design the offense.

This is a Gattis problem. Hire someone else who has a creative offense that features the playmakers and let him do his thing.

There’s going to be more kids coming but at this point I’ve seen enough to know I’m not holding my breath. Tbh I’ve never seen anything like this , then again yes I have lol. Manny with Lb’s and Cb’s pre T Rob.

There is zero chance that Mario isnt aware of the negative impact Gattis is having on WR and QB recruiting

 

[Cane6]

WR recruiting thus far:

Seriously, retaining so far the OC that led record setting bad production is mind boggling. Who needs rivals when you can destroy yourself this easily from w/in? Oh, and then you double down by having said coordinator also be your position coach/recruiter for the room you need badly to be improved.

Jerry Sandusky could recruit better WRs than Gattis

Understood. I am a patient man but what is he doing about it?

I wish I had @Baba Yaga's gif editing skills.

 

[JennStrawley’sBabyDaddy]

Wtf is Gattis still doing here

 

[Fluffhead]

This is a Gattis problem. Hire someone else who has a creative offense that features the playmakers and let him do his thing.

It’s a Mario problem by letting this linger and the questions and narrative continue about what he wants in an offense.

His actions disprove your notion

A Gattis problem is a Mario problem. Mario is responsible for everything that happens in this program.

Jesus Christ

I literally said hire someone else. Of course he is.

 

[U_Canes]

Mario thought he could out recruit the elephant in the room (Gattis) while he took his time making a change. Big failure on his part, he let his ego in the way.

What reason do we have to think he’s making a change other than wishful thinking?

 

[Torocane]

Can't disagree with that.
There is zero value to having him still employed. An open OC vacancy is better and more productive.

Its certainly a strong argument, and further elevated when the guy doesnt even appear to be recruiting. What is he doing then?

An open vacancy at least gives hope.

Lol it starting to seem like at this point it's fix the oline to give the WR'S as much time to get open.

Some positions are more important than others. However, you cannot have a position group that is a zero. We have seen this with LB. Even with excellent safeties and DL, one cannot completely overcome nonexistent LB play.

WR is a zero.
