I think all of you that take Hubbs' word as gospel might be in for a surprise next week regarding Mr Patterson and his top two.

I have some small insight into this situation. Mama wants her boy close to home. The only schools that qualify are UT and UGA. Both have stud qb's, both have a solid reputation for producing WR's. Unfortunately for us, the crotchsniffer's have both more recent success, a more stable HC'ing situation, and less of a depth chart log jam at WR, both on campus and in this class. I think we'll make it interesting, but in the end, he goes to jawja.

There is no logjam here at WR. There isn't a lot of depth behind JH and DR, and with CP, he will be the 3rd WR from the start. Chaney will not want to have him sitting on the bench, and will very likely use 3-4 wide sets much more frequently with him here.

Don't forget Croom as a redzone target and Pig as a slot speedster as well. Bowles is still a wildcard in my mind, but having all those guys + CP = SCARY passing attack for our opponents this year. Now, if we can just figure out that whole running thing...

I am very anxious about the WR's in this class, but realistically, I don't count on any of them making a major contribution the first half of the season.

I guess you are basing this on the word in Auburn, correct? If so, just remember that CP seems to love everyone.... and UT's staff isn't talking. If Worley would talk then he would be an interesting source for this guy.

Do any of you think that the staff has told Patterson to hold off until signing day so we don't run any of our young WR off? I could easily see them telling him you know your going to start but these young bucks will know you will too once you come here.

Definitely a possibility

Not saying I know if CP is coming her, but I know coaches have done this.

I'm not saying it's a done deal by any means. I'm just saying Hubbs is wrong about his top two.

Which is to say, he doesn't have a top two in any way.

You say you get your info from Trooper right? I highly doubt the kid is gonna tell him AU isn't in his top 2 regardless if it's true. Just sayin.

Just curious - why do you say that Bowles is a "wildcard"? I've seen similar assessments from other posters, and I wonder why he's overlooked as a potential high level contributor at WR in this class. He's far and away the highest rated WR prospect in this class (at least if you follow Rivals). I know that Croom's size and Pig's athleticism have a lot of people excited (for good reason), and there's the possibility of Bowles projecting as a DB. Any explanation, though? I'm not necessarily disagreeing with posters' outlook for Bowels, but I'm probably more excited about him as a WR prospect than the other two, personally.

Bowles gets no press because he just comes in and quietly does his awesomeness. But his recruitment has been silent as a church mouse. I wouldn't trade any of these three for another WR in the country.

Even then, you're looking at three freshman WRs. That's why the staff has been trying to sneak in another 2010 high school graduate to add some experience, and Patterson is a real talent. The trio of Patterson, Hunter, and Rogers could teach the trio of Bowles, Croom, and Howard how to be truly great.

If Bowles had pretended to be open to other schools, he might have gotten a 5th star. There has been zero hype or drama around his recruitment.

Yes, he'd be the 3rd WR from the start. Do you see how that would not play as well as UGA telling him he can be the no. 1 or at worst no.2 target from the start? Ultimately, what we think doesn't really matter. I've heard from a very close family member that they like UT very much, but that the depth chart and the numbers at the WR position were probably going to go against us.

Auburn doesn't even have an established QB yet, so I don't see them the other choice. We all know that their NC was 90% due to having Cam Newton at QB. Guy is in the Pro Bowl as a rookie. Thank you Lane Kiffin :banghead2:, by the way.

I've said it before and bears repeating; he would have a harder time making an impact as the No.1 for UGA (getting double-coverage as well as the opponent's No. 1 Corner), than he would playing ALONGSIDE...not behind...Hunter and D. Rodgers. Those 2 will command the opponents best DB's, leaving Patterson mismatched on safeties, nickel backs and LB's.

The OC is always going to look to exploit a mismatch, and that means CP will be getting as many catches as JH and DR, quite likely. Those three help each other because teams can't (afford to) commit extra safety help to stopping any one of them.

I can literally see the fits these 3 guys present to a defensive backfield. Bray can look off the safety and routinely find CP beating his man down the seam in the middle.

I think this is a very valid point.....I am sure that this will be explained in detail to him....and family.....If he comes here opponents will always have to worry about him and he demands attention.....Thus running game will open up and Defenses will have to adjust.....Hunter, Rogers and Patterson on the field at one time would be a nightmare for DCs....Reminds me of FL in the 90s.

I agree. They'd likely move Da'Rick to the slot if Patterson comes. Talk about having 2 on the outside that can stretch the field and Da'Rick with his physical nature would be a nightmare for defenses in the slot. And none would likely ever face a double team.

id rather see Da'rick stay outside , he's basically unjammable and doesnt need to be off the LOS to get a free release.

All I'm saying is not every recruit is Gabe Wright, or DeAnthony Arnett, or Mike Davis, etc.

Cordarrelle doesn't talk to the media much, but when he does, he makes a point to be honest and straightforward. When he says he loves all his trips and all of the five are basically even, I am inclined to believe him.

Well, tell him and his mom that, then. And of course, the counterargument is that while UGA doesn't have a receiver that's as good as Rogers or Hunter (really, who does?) that both T. King and Malcolm Mitchell are more than good enough to make an opponent think twice about doubling Cordarelle---so he will rarely have to face double coverage, and he'll be targeted the most of anyone on the team.

I'm sure we WOULD make him a baller in this offense. But UGA can, and HAS sold him as well or better on what happens there. And all that matters in the end is what he feels and believes, and I can tell you right now, the Patterson group feels like he'll shine brighter at UGA.
