Was just coming to post about Tuggle. I’m curious if the staff will shoot for a couple of talented young guys that haven’t produced quite yet.

Just curious, why not? Seems like uga fans are upset about him leaving.

Looks like Shanahan is already following him.

Doesn't seem all that fast, doesn't seem all that productive. I don't buy that Georgia fans are that upset, though. Georgia has this talent everywhere.

He was a true freshman playing on the most talented roster in the country. To get reps on a team that deep as a true freshman speaks to a players ability. I know Cignetti has preference of production over potential but I don't think the staff is going to ignore every kid with a talent ceiling as high as Tuggles's just because he didn't put up all-conference numbers as an 18 year old.

Based off posts on uga twitter and forums, no one is losing their minds, but I’ve seen multiple variations of “this one hurts.”

Thanks, I had no clue how talented UGA was.  How do you know how high his talent ceiling is?

Because you don't make the 2 deep at a school like Georgia as true freshman unless you're immensely talented....

The not that productive part of my post came from me reading his HS stats wrong/SR year was omitted. 

I saw 750 yards as his last season and thought it was his SR year.  

And Sarratt isn't a burner either... I'm sure we can get the most out of him.  We definitely have reps available and I do think Omar could play some slot.

Yeah the kid sucked so bad that he cracked the rotation for the #2 team in the country as an 18 year old, the same program that has had 33 players drafted over the course of the last 3 seasons. Brilliant.

Tuggle scouting report on 247

Tall, long, but lean frame. Has fluidity and natural coordination in his movements. That shows up as he runs routes as he can smoothly change directions, but he is still working on his overall route running technique. Has good ball skills and a wide catch radius thanks to length, athleticism and hand-eye coordination. Slippery after the catch and elusive especially for his height. Must fill in and get stronger while refining his game but has a high ceiling. Clear Power Five prospect who still has a lot of runway to play his best football in college.

Recent quote from Daylen Everette, Georgia's top corner and SEC game MVP

"Yeah, Nitro, he's a real good player," Everette said. "He really is a fun player to compete against. He probably has one of the best releases. So that also helps me because I know what to look for and try to stay patient. Iron sharpening iron, he's getting better, I'm getting better. It's just fun to go against him."

But yet used logical reasoning for his opinion.  

Apparently opinions aren't allowed unless they are the same as your opinion?

Who tf said he sucked?

Look....I don't know much about Nitro the "real" person. However, in my NCAA 25 career I did get Nitro out of the transfer portal as a SO and the kid went on to set school records for yards and TD's. Clearly this means he's coming here and will be one of the greatest IU players of all time.

Quinten Joyner from USC in the portal. 

We might be able.to give someone who averaged 7.6 ypc a look..
