These takes on Wingo have to be some of the dumbest shit I have read on this site in a while. Is he a perfect WR? No but this team would have been even worse on offense without him. He is a super athlete learning to run routes.

As your primary receiver, that's not great, paired with unreliable hands.  One of the great things about college football is that the stronger players, defenders in this case, often leave after their junior year, which leaves Wingo as an upperclassman next year, against less experienced players he can physically potentially have even more upside on.

Mosley gets separation consistently. Wingo has the speed just needs to polish his routes. You have 3 4/5star freshmen (for now) who can do who knows what. Bishop looks like a demon. Moore sounds gone. We probably go big game hunting for one in the portal but it won’t be at the expense of a good OL or game changer at RB.

Mosley’s best asset as a receiver is he can read coverages and knows where to settle/escape

There's no "potentially" about runningback. They better go get one whether or not Wisner stays. 

He's just waiting for the portal entries to give him excuse with team. Everyone knows it's coming.

I think the picture is becoming clear that the staff is trying to decide if they want Wisner to be The Man next year, and Wisner is trying to decide if he wants to stick around without a guarantee of being The Man.

Purely business decisions on both ends, I presume.

I'm a little surprised to see Sark say that interior DL is a need, especially in such a straightforward way. Next year we'll have Kanu, January, Watson, Lavon Johnson (?), and then Terry/Sharma/Charles from last year's recruiting class. Seems like you could get a 4-man rotation out of that group, unless they're just really down on Watson and Johnson.

Maybe Sark wants another Cole Brevard type that he can line up over the ball? I think Sharma is the only one of the list that fits that mold, and Sark probably wants another one with experience

Here's my thoughts on our needs. I'm using the excellent Google Sheets roster maintained by @AP101S: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TzoBTIvCXfZIk7Sz3C9txMg0yPvrXyVM/edit?gid=1327300395#gid=1327300395

 

QB: Not a big need. Supposedly Owens is gone. Arch is the starter with Lacey backing him up. I could see going out and getting another Caldwell-type, just for an emergency.

RB: Sark says "potentially". Conventional wisdom says they'll be looking for a potential starter. Expecting this room to clear out quite a bit.

WR: Personally, I could see us passing. We have a lot of numbers here and plenty of needs elsewhere. Latest reporting I've seen is that they'd like to keep the young guys around if they can.

TE: Not a big need, especially if Endries is back. They like the young guys on the roster. Maybe a blocking surface if Shannon moves on.

OT: Starters are set, but how good do they feel about the 3rd option if someone gets injured? Dunno how you bring in a portal option to be your 3rd tackle, though.

IOL: Dear God yes. Dire need. Two guys AT LEAST, please.

DE: Good numbers, and good quality already on the roster. Expensive. I think we're set.

DT: Acknowledged by Sark as a need. Seems like the numbers are OK. Either they must not love Watson or believe the young guys aren't ready yet.

LB: Sark says "potentially". Seems like a need, because you have Lefau, Smith, and then nothing.

CB: Losing Muhammad, but seems like we're in OK shape here with Littleton/Black/Phillips.

S: Depends on a lot of things. Does McDonald return? Is Derek Williams SEC starter quality? Jonah Williams going to focus on baseball? I'm guessing this is why Sark said "potentially".

DL: We’ve been amazing at high pressure short yardage stops in recent years. A big part of that is the ability to trot a fresh behemoth of 0/1 tech out there for one play of all out maniacal effort. Sounds like Sark will be shopping for another one of them.

RB: Just make the one year investment. Please. It will be worth it.

WR: See RB.

LB/DB: If it’s a good fit, then why not.

IOL: Don’t let perfect get in the way of good. There will be acceptable options looking to play up.

Isn't Spence back? I mean I don't care one way or another getting a LB as it will not be enough to replace Hill's play making, but whatever. Atkinson, as good as he may be, doesn't even play the same position, but Barnes does, and well, he hasn't played any. 

Sark will always go to the portal for a WR, regardless of who we have. You can never have enough explosive talent with hands coached up by someone else. 

We need a RB in the worst way. I love Wisner, but I love a RB that can punish people, and he's simply not that guy. I don't think we're landing a Justice Haynes (MOTHERFUCKER!) or a Hardy, and I certainly don't think we're getting anyone close to Love, but that doesn't mean we can't land a potential 1k back. I understand him not wanting to relinquish starter minuttes and carries, but he's a smart kid and he will understand one way or another that winning involves a good running team, and even as an aggy and sooner slayer, he's pedestrian against everyone else. Baxter, I'm sure, will be back, I'm fine with it as it gives him an extra year of getting back to playing shape. He was used sparsely, and I get it. Next season we should hopefully have a stud portal back to go with Baxter, Simon, Clark, and Cooper. Maybe Wisner, but doubt. 

OL is no shit. 

Interior DL is also no shit. 

DB is a bit surprising. Derek Williams just came back from an ACL injury, so I expect him to get back to some normalcy next season. Not sure we really need a DB since we have Black, Littleton, and Phillips to fight with Santana Wilson, Wardell Mack, and Caleb Chester to the death. I assume it's due to age, which I get. Those are all young bucks with little to no experience outside of Littleton and possibly Black. Philips got some run towards the end of the season. 

TE I think we need one even if/when Endries leaves unless it's a guy you can't pass on. Otherwise we still have Washington, Townsend, Winston, but I guess we could use a fouth if they're not some JAG.

I read somewhere (here, I think?) that the plan for Spence next year is to move into the Trey Moore LB role

I also think they'll probably use Atkinson similar to how they used Anthony Hill as a freshman

Durvernay? The on that caught 100 passes his last year at Texas and a lot of those being diving for bad passes?

I know I've been on Surly for too long when I start referencing Surly bits from years past and not everyone remembers it lol

Ah, OK. That makes sense, but Atkinson plays Lefau's position, which is inside, so maybe they just put him there to see what he can do? I just know Barnes is an off-ball LB like Hill, but Atkinson can play side to side as an inside. Regardless, it should be interesting to see how the LB corps shakes out.

Man, but damn, even the Duvernay? I always thought that was a classic, even in my 20s. Am I getting old? Fml
