How I Would Rank Them

Bobby- what’s your gut tell you about how fast Wingo will see noticeable field time?

Depends on what kind of spring he has. If he's healthy, takes ball seriously, I think he'll play early and often. I don't think he'll start, but I think he'll get himself in the mix.

He has something that Sark is going to want on the field and that no one else really gives him - speed combined with legit outside size.

Christian Clark looks like the best RB choice has signed at texas

I like them all. Tre Wisner is one to watch this spring. Not sure how, but like Clark, I just think he's a baller.

When someone like Dubose is "ranked" so low it looks like he's a scrub and I doubt that he's a scrub...maybe RATE 1-100 instead and that will give you a better idea of what sort of class you REALLY have

That's fair. Dubose is no scrub. The issue here is injury. Before his injury, I'm not sure if he isn't in top 5.

Not to bring up bad moments from 2023, but I wonder how much a taller WR would facilitate a different approach in RedZone scheme and available options.

As I understand it (based upon what Bobby, CJ, and others have stated) the problem with DeBose has not fully healed from his Jr year injury. I think we all believe that if DeBose is fully healthy he would be a plus contributor by at least his 2nd year on campus. 

I would have Butler and Black much higher. Butler is going to be a star. Black was just too low for a kid who was once a 5-star.

Keep in mind, this is just one man’s opinion. Granted Bobby has more experience in this type of evaluation than all of us combined but he is not infallible, as he has said. However, I would tend to go with his opinion over my own observations. When it comes right down to it, this is a beauty contest. Do you like blondes or brunettes? Do you prefer size in a WR or speed? Beatles or the Rolling Stones?

I think its just as much on Sark trusting his QB not to turn it over so that we don't limit the targets to RPO inside and fade or whip to the pylon.

That said... With the experience on the OL (and I hope increased nastiness at G with either Hutson or Neto hopefully taking over for Hayden at least on the GL) the run game should be able to finish drives inside the 3 with TDs and if that happens more regularly, the bootleg, or play fake to a stalk and go Helm/Niblack becomes deadly.
