Kirby Smart addressed his dilemma at the star position in his recent presser.
 
 
“The way we are practicing, Tyreke (McGhee) is really our star but he is on a split field when we split them up. So he practices that corner and he practices at star, he is taking reps at both places because if we lost a corner right now, he might be the first corner in the game, but he is our star if we played today.
 
Now Deangelo (Gibbs) and Richard LeCounte, especially Deangelo, has a body more like Mo. I mean, you’re out there playing on Charlie Woerner and he comes to block you, do you want a 160-pound guy or do you want a 205-pound guy? That’s pretty obvious.”
