Read my post above. I said OL is number 1 need. 
 

Indiana also didn’t play 5 top 12-15 teams. 
 

My difference in opinion is that I think our WRs are mid and not championship level. Wingo can be but you can’t rely on that. If he is your number 2… then heck yeah 

There is also no true NIL cap. That is separate from revenue share. If there is some donor pushback on amount then make room by pushing JAGS out the door. 

Also there is also a rumor going around, some WRs on the roster are waiting on Coleman’s decision.

Id also be extremely happy with Eric Singleton (if that rumor that he is entering too is true)

Hashtag are you back is this your burner??

I don't know that Singleton moves the needle. There was a reason our interest waned after we got him on campus and saw him in-person.

lol happy to let mods here chime in since they can see information 🤣🤣 definitely not him/her. I just have a strong passion about our WRs. Was extremely disappointed in them and don’t see a a championship level group. Hope I’m wrong

Was joking. Only thing I disagree with you on is Mosley he is a stud and will be golden 2.0 and one thing I won’t stand for is Wingo disrespect he was all sec 2nd team even with his issues this year. 

Saying our WR are “mid” misses the mark. Just because you don’t have a Jeremiah Smith or Randy Moss doesn’t mean they’re mid. 
 

We need OL & RB more than we need WR. Period.

I think Mosley can be really good. Does he have the speed of Golden? Maybe a full offseason can do him well. I think Wingo can be a dynamic player. He is extremely inconsistent. Parker Livingstone is a good deep threat but not much more. If he was WR4 then I’d be solid. 
 

We need true guaranteed WR1 IMO especially in a big year for Sark and Arch. You can’t bank on “I think the WR will be good” but you need to “guarantee the WR will be good”. Of course injuries can happen. 
 

If you have seen some posts, I said you may have to make some moves and push some guys out the door. I’d prefer to keep Mosley and Wingo but some guys seem like JAGs to me. Maybe the Bowl game Will change my mind.

If I recall the interest waned because the amount he cost.

We had one of the worst offensive lines in the SEC statistically, especially when it comes to running the football. 12th in rushing offense. 7th in passing offense. 10th in Scoring offense. 7th in sacks allowed. 11th in tackles for loss allowed. 9th in total offense. It is hard to show, but our receivers were above average in the SEC statistically with a poor OL, struggling QB(early) and spotty production from the TE position and a bad run game. Feel free to DYOR. I love your passion, but IMHO it is misplaced when it comes to your thoughts on our WR room. https://cfbstats.com/2025/conference/911/index.html

We can agree on the OL 🤝 Definitely needs to be upgraded. 
 

There is also no NIL Cap and it’s not enforced. If we want to get RB, OL, and WR plus whatever else we can. It’s a function of fundraising and external NIL deals. We will see how aggressive we get. I’m fairly positive we will land a Singleton level or better WR so we will all be happy 🤘🏻

That might be the best player in the portal. Second team all America over Colin Simmons. Certainly moves the needle.

Texas ain’t touching anyone with any sort of season ending injury on their record. Plus, he’s headed to Michigan

Wasn’t aware of that injury (edit: it was literally in the tweet. Doh!). Totally agree on both points.

Duece is a good player. Massive loss for Auburn. Hes a perfect QB for a first year coach to build around

WR wasn’t the root issue in any of those three games (although we did have multiple drops vs Georgia). I’d argue the money Coleman would demand put towards OL gets you the Ohio State and Florida game. We failed to convert at the goal line vs OSU and Floridas D line destroyed us

Threats make you back up. We already know interior OL is on the portal musts list... but lineman don't cost what position players cost... so chill, that's a given. Now... Sark mentioned Dereick Cooper for a reason when he talked about the portal.... pay attention. If you pay a portal guy 1 million plus, you expect 150 to 200 touches. The probability of him getting hurt is super high. A receiver..... probably 80 at the most. In this offense... what would a Cam Coleman be... given that we retain Wingo, Mosley and Livingstone? Is he a need... want... or luxury? I know Ohio St will have Brandon Inniss, Jeremiah Smith and Chris Henry Jr on the field next year when the money is on the line. Name Ohio St's running back rn without Google... and name the starter next year. Arch didn't come back to hand it off 250+ times to one guy. You saw how good he was when the season ended?

Brown is a stud but a one year rental. It all depends on his goals with the building of the program.

This is now the second best receiver in the portal on my list. 

ON3 couldn't find a better picture for this young man than a junk punt?
