He has shown potential then, not a hit. A hit is a player like Berry, Rogan, or Jones.

Yes, the one on the sideline where he was spinning and juking and not holding onto the ball.

I played against Hawkins 4 times in HS and never thought he was anything special. He was slow and soft. I was shocked to hear that the vols has signed him because I thought he'd be more of a 1-AA or D-2 level player.

If the only three categories are "hit", "still has potential", and "total whiff" ... I would grade Creer as a hit. The fact that he saw the field as a freshman says he was a hit. It doesn't mean that he will necessarily be an All-SEC back...just that this was a good choice as a recruit.

Yeah, because rushing for 214 yards and an 18.7 yards per return average is definitely a hit. Oh wait, he did have a couple long runs against Southern Miss and Louisiana-Lafayette. He'll be good, but he wasn't anything special last year.

you guys are way off. Creer is a "hit". In the time he saw the field he produced. I can wait to see him get about 20 carries in one game.

So..then he was a hit as far as recruiting goes...

I only see one guy arguing otherwise....

I think he'll be good, but I don't think he really proved anything more than DeAngelo Willingham did. I'd rate him closer to Willingham than I would Eric Berry, Dennis Rogan, and Gerald Jones.

obviously AF was the focus last year and will be again, but Creer showed me enough in his limited carries that I am predicting stardom.

But until he shows the "predicted" stardom he still has potential, right?

Source? Before I comment on something I'd like to know where it came from.

Calling Creer "A Hit" at this point is absolutely ridiculous. Perhaps players should be required to actually perform consistently at a high level ON THE FIELD IN AN ACTUAL GAME before being labeled "A Hit".

Campbell and Maples are probably right about the same level right now in terms of predicting their future at WR. I think Maples did a bit more in th O&W game. Personally, I think Maples is faster and has better hands than Campbell. But at this point I dont know if either one of them will ever crack the WR rotation without a rash of injuries above them on the depth chart.

And the guy that wrote that said one more year and Berry will be a 1st round NFL draft pick. Is he Maurice Clarrett? You have to play three years.
