If it was half as bad as you make it sound the coaches would have grabbed somebody out of the portal.

-Bernard looks like much more than a JAG on the aday film.
-Prentice has been solid for two seasons.
-Law has never had a chance to be featured but he has shined in the roles he was given.

Then you have two all-world true freshmen and Henderson.

To me that looks like 3 guys we know we can count on and 3 more guys with really big potential. Its not a doom and gloom situation.

I agree that Bernard is more than just a dude but I think he's not a 1WR. I think that label is more apt for Prentice based on two years of production. Law is a big play waiting to happen but I don't think he's a 2WR.

We will need to hit hard on on Odom and Williams and Henderson needs major growth to be a contributor. Henderson missed some gimme catches in the spring game. So I'm cautious. Odom didn't have much spring game production but he looks the part. Would love to get to watch an Alabama version of Mike Evans.

That was also before Hale went down.

I doubt they are going to just take "guys" out of the portal either. We have "guys", we just don't have a WR1 and I didnt really see any of those in the portal after Bond went to Texas.

I think pre-injury it was going to be Hale / Bernard / Williams / Prentice or Law with the hope that Odom emerged at the Flex WR/TE spot and they probably felt like that was good enough to ride with. They seem to like the Cole Adams kid as well so he could end up pushing for time as a possession guy.

Again, I'm not saying we won't get production or that guys now in the pipeline that cant turn into a WR1 eventually. I'm just saying that we don't have anyone on paper that's keeping Kirby Smart up at night yet and its been a long time since thats been true.
