Lagonza Hayward

Hillbillys making recruitng waves this cycle.

 

I initially thought thread title was a horrible mis-spelling of Lorenzo Lingard. Lol

 

I think it's Lagonza.

 

When I read Laganzo, it made me think of the Muppets for some reason lol. Gonzo!!!!

 

Tennessee is loading up on DBs after what we have coming back next year at WR. I believe Jeremiah Smith will be a Gator next season.

 

Have four. Rivals rates three as 3 star. Not too concerning. hijack: I'm thinking how many 4 star DBs we've had over the past few seasons NOT play well. What IF our WRs and DB groups play on an entirely different level this season?

Jeremiah Smith, why?

 

What's up with Jeremiah Smith? The receiver?

 

Can’t see a transfer as long as Brian Hartline is there developing first round WR draft choices

 

I guess it’s the money that they are getting paid to go to Ohio State. We had a first round receiver last year too. It’s not like he’s the only coach in America that can coach wide receivers?

 

What good is a great WR coach when they have no QB?

 

Ohio State Has Now Had More First-Round Picks at Wide Receiver Than Any Other School | Eleven Warriors

 

Over what period of time?
Didn’t do them much good in Glendale did it?

 

They've won 2 championships in 25 years all because of their run game and defense. Their WRs get great stats due to their weak schedule but fall short in big games.

Football is a line of scrimmage game. It’s nice to have great talented players but if you get your ass whipped up front, all the receivers in the world are not going to help.

 

Time and time again.

 

I really started following UF In earnest in ‘87. I remember those early 90’s years thinking wow! This team is so close!
Seeing some of the names posted above bring back memories. Thx.
