Recruiting pitch from Kirbs ... "we don't have the talent at WR we need." If you saw his press conference following the LSU game that was his "line" about why UGA struggled in that game. "We had four NFL receivers last year and we don't have that this season." {sic} I'm not going to go look for the video. If I run across it this morning I'll post it here. It's arguable it was a "throwing receivers under the bus" kind of tone which led me to thing "where's the development."
Here is something that was posted by a Georgia guy that supports your thinking. A breakdown of the recruiting rankings of Georgia vs LSU wide receivers.
”#13 Robertson, #24 Pickens, #36 Blaylock, #130 Jackson, #196 Bush, #196 Tongue, #324 Blount, #346 Cager, #383 Simmons,
#13 Marshall, #84 Chase, #112 Palmer, #126 Sullivan, #166 Dillon, #166 Lee, #448 Jenkins, #608 McMath, #2164 Jefferson
Yet LSU's receivers look like world beaters and apparently our receivers can't run proper route patterns or catch the damn ball.
Give me a break on blaming receiving depth. Blame the damn coaching. Looking at you Cortez Hankton.“
