The comparision to Ducking kinda shows what we are talking about. They had very similar stats except that RaRa had 150 more yards. He's more of the big play guy. His over 14 yards per catch proves it
What are you talking about Bumphis had over 14 yards per catch his Soph year with almost identical numbers as Rara with Relf at QB in a running offense. Bumphis over his total time at State, his production dwarfed Rara's. But even a Soph year comparison Bumphis was as productive in a totally different scheme with a non-throwing QB. When it comes to production we've had several that have produced more. Now there's no question he could be great his JR / SR year but to date, which is all we have to go on, we've had multiple guys produce at his level the last 15 years.

He literally completely disappeared in half of our conference games. 3 of those teams had bad secondaries. This is playing in an air raid system where we throw the ball a gazillion times per game.
We will not miss RaRa for even one second. Good player who will be very easily replaced in this offense. Good luck to him wherever he lands.
Is disappearing his fault? He's not dropping the ball like others consistently have done.

Meh screw him. Don't care that he goes and won't certainly miss him. If you don't want to play for us then you are the same as an OM fan in my eyes....

Assuming he comes back, Will ZT play on the outside?

Yes he did. He dropped TWO sure fire first downs on third down against LSU. Ended up being very costly. We did not have a receiver step up and be THAT GUY last year. He may not even start at Georgia. Will wasn't near as good as he needs to be, but RaRa hated physical cornerbacks & 100% disappeared at times. In a perfect world, we improve at QB AND Receiver in 2023.

If you look at a football game as a war, you simply need the best killers with attitude on the front line whether they are good workers and good team mates. I bet the Alamo was filled with some of the biggest assholes in history but they were good at what they did? I believe that fellow elitedoggers are probably on point but I still believe that RaRa has done something not seen in a long time at MSU and that is produce on the long ball, sacrifice himself over the middle, and win the contested catches when thrown to. This is something seen from opponents that have beaten us in the past. Those receivers were possible assholes with bad attitudes: good Alamo material?
Hahahaha

Dominic Lovett just committed to Georgia as well. The 3rd leading receiver in the SEC. RaRa "might" provide good depth for Georgia 😭
