Dre Kirkpatrick, Jr. had a great game today in the all-star game. Of course, Williams was MVP. No stage to big for him. Really hope we hang on to him.
He is shaping up to be an Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley type WR1. I know he will only be 17 years old next season, but Coach Saban may not be able to leave him on the bench next year. His talent might demand reps.

No doubt, he will see the field next year. I think 2025 we will return to a mire passing attack with Sayin throwing to Williams, Hale , French and Odom and others. The return of the Rydeouts?

Don't forget Niblack. The only reason why he's not getting more touches is due to Milroe not quite there in surveying the field. Hopefully he continues to develop and our passing attack is elite again like it was with Tua, Mac and Bryce

And we have 4* TE Caleb Odom coming in and he is similar in skills to Niblack.
TJ, what's crazy is that Odom is ranked even higher than Niblack and his potential is off the charts! But if you listen to our fanbase, Bama doesn't attract top TEs. Not every school is lucky enough to get a Bower in their class. I think we'll be good at that position for awhile and if we continue to use them in the proper manner, elite TEs will be knocking down the door. Btw, Dippre was a great addition to that position and deserves to be recognized!

I re-watched the game with Georgia this afternoon (raining.) We would not of scored the last t.d. if not for Dippre's block and helping pull Williams in the endzone. Just great effort.
Dippre is everything you want in a TE. He blocks, he's physical, and he has good hands. He will thrive in the NFL with a good system.

I`m the first to admit that the alien is/was extra special for UGA. I also think that they schemed him into being an integral part of their offense. Hell, I would have too. Having said that, I`m uncertain as to whether or not we`ve ever schemed SPECIFICALLY for a TE like they did for him. Then again, I suppose the argument could be made that we`ve never had a Bowers!

LK schemed for OJ Howard. Irv Smith and Michael Williams were also very good...they were integral parts of our offense but not the focus as Bowers,

I would take OJ Howard over Bowers every time. The dude was freaky FAST! :cool:

I would like to add the fact that Georgia's WRs haven't had the same success or development as Bama's is why their offense was so dependent on a talent like Bowers. He and McConkey were their only true passing threat. It's a good thing both delivered for them.
