11' GA TE Jay Rome

[yont sum iss?]

they already shell out too much for Bubba's Bail Bonds to afford JC

True.

It's hard to read that article and not think Rome is going to UGA. Most have assumed so for a long time though. I'm just glad that we have done well enough to be in his final two. However, I no longer see us getting Rome.

our two biggest offensive needs in this class, aside from whatever oline we can get, were a speedy rb and a dominant TE. and now I think we're getting neither.. thank god for bray and co.

You don't think Clear fits the bill?

there are 6 tight ends in the rivals top 100. one of those has the best chance to be a dominant tight end. Could be someone come from lower ranking to be one but not likely.

the 6 are:

# 21 Nick O'Leary
# 38 Austin Seferian-Jenkins Washington Commit
# 45 Jay Rome
# 48 Jace Amaro Texas Tech Commit
# 51 Eric MacLain Clemson commit
# 81 Ben Koyack Notre Dame commit

best chance at a "dominant tight end", this group IMO

:disappointed:

maybe if he stays at tight end, which I for one hope he can. Everything I've heard is that he'll get his shot but end up on the oline.

Matt Milton may move to TE. Could be great.

You think Rome ends up at Georgia Larry? Based on that article on ESPN, it seems a surprise if he's anything but a dawg on NSD.

What about O'Leary? I doubt we have a shot with him?

I would be a fan of that.

Could he run block though? I could see him as a solid pass catcher, but asking a former WR to be a good run blocking TE is asking a lot. What Tennessee really needs is an effective run blocking TE. That is why Clear is such a big priority. Heading into next year they dont have one on the roster. Rivera can make some plays in the passing game but he is a very poor run blocker.

I haven't heard much on O'leary but last time I checked he was most likely staying in state, We could get Fulse after his JUCO/Prep stint he could be very good

yes on Rome.

haven't seen O'Leary's name linked with us so I guess not

they don't believe he has a frame to put on necessary weight for TE..

 

[UGA insider]

O'leary is FSU bound, has been for a while now.

 

[volunteerlane]

FSU will end up with the #1 class

 

[Montrell Hardy]

From seeing him, I thought the same thing. Definitely doesn't look like a TE to me or a future one at that, unless you are lining him up in some certain spread passing situations where a TE might spread out wide.

I can't remember where I saw it, but somebody on VN said Daniel Hood (6-4, 275) would be moving to TE next year. He was a TE in HS.

And still won't do jack crap with the class once it is on campus.

Richt plays the religion card to death. Jesus should be on the payroll at UGA.

Definitely gets joke of the day.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong.

Biggest offensive needs are offensive line (which we will get) and another tight end (Cam Clear). Other than that, defense should be the biggest priority.

Rome can run block watched him alot this year. Just checked his Facebook page and he said 50% chance he commits tomorrow at Under Armor game. I told him i could see the Bray to Rome connection in the checkerboards and the Band playin Rocky Top all night long. GO VOLS

Hmmmm... Is this true? Larry? Anyone?
