Fun fact: Latu had more touchdowns this season than Billingsley had the last two seasons combined and only around 100 fewer receiving yards.

That's because he's better..

Neither one was good though

Complete fucking bum smh

The return of Slade and Latu. That’s all that needs to be said.

Wonder what kind of grade he got, I never saw him going pro after this season. Think another year will serve him well

Good! Really glad to keep his experience. Inconsistency was his biggest problem, but he never looked like he was half-assing it.
Hopefully one of the young guys will step up alongside him. Also wouldn’t be surprised if we grabbed someone from the portal.

Saw a rumor on CFB earlier this week about Darnell Washington transferring because of Bowers being so dominant. Obviously could be someone spewing nonsense.
You heard anything about this doc?

I’ve seen the rumors, but only on message boards. No idea if it has legs

Really wild that he was tied for 2nd in TD catches among Power 5 TE. I think he can develop into an even better TE with another season at Bama.

He wouldn’t be drafted if he left. Glad to see him back

Awesome. Said it the other day, he’s only played TE a couple of years. He’s a good athlete. He will be good

Good for us. I mostly liked what I saw from him. What could've been had he not gotten hawked Monday night though...

I love that guy. I feel like he could be a beast if we'd just throw it his way.

He needs to catch it consistently enough

I think this is a smart move by Latu. He converted over to the offensive side of the ball and wildly exceeded expectations, but he needs to show a lot more consistency. I think he would have been a very late pick this year, but with even marginal improvement, he could elevate himself into the middle of the draft, more than likely. The biggest difference with him and Billingsley this year was simple -- effort. I can't recall a single moment in the year where his effort appeared less than 100%.
Glad he's on board for one more go at it!

Where else would he go? But seriously, he had the best hands for us in the ship after JaMo went down

ok...

He’s shown flashes, I think as he continues to grow as a TE he will become more consistent and end up being a force at the position.
yeah, he definitely doesn't have as high a ceiling as Billingsley, but if he can become more consistent and limit drops, he has the tools to be a solid A- TE, which as you said is a force to be reckoned with at the position
Someone casually dropped a Darnell Washington transfer to bama rumor the other day. Where the at? This just rumor there any smoke here because that dudes a tree.
A ton of Georgia insiders have been saying it for a month
I know we recruited him big time, dudes an ent, like a literal hobbit ent. Georgia just had no idea how to use him or cook, in our offense they’d be monsters.
I saw that too and I feel like the first step that needs to be taken before I take that seriously is for Washington to actually enter the transfer portal. That would be quite the pickup
It would be a massive get, Georgia didn’t know how to use cook or hkm. He’s a ducking ent, Bruce gonna be like Gandalf storming helms deep with ents when we get the Georgia rematch next year
Fuck TE, Darnell Washington is 6’7 280, out that boy on the line and have him go to work at RT or DL
Ceiling not as high, floor not nearly as low
For sure
