85 receptions, 1519 yards, 13 touchdowns, 17.9 yards per reception: he will be the primary target for the Hogs this year. He will likely finish his career with big numbers before earning his big NFL contract. I can't figure out if you need glasses or if you just need to remove the orange-tinted ones.
Did he have all those numbers from last year?

So in 3 years he has around 400 more yards than Da'Rick did in one season where he was without a decent qb for half the year and where he was doubled all year because z. Rogers was the 2nd best WR.

I think you're helping my point. Who was stealing Da'Rick's receptions. Zach? Arnett? Rivera? Rogers was targeted 115 times, more than any other receiver in the conference. 31.4% of the time the ball was passed, it was passed to Rogers. He caught 58.3% of those passes. He had more targets, more often, than Alshon Jeffrey, Rueben Randle, Jarius Wright...let's be honest; the numbers are inflated. I'm not saying Rogers isn't good, but remove the orange colored glasses and look at this clearly. Cobi Hamilton was targeted 58 times, caught 58.6% of those passes, and he was only targeted 13% of the time. He averaged 9.3 yards per target; Da'Rick averaged 9. Had Hamilton been targeted as often as Da'Rick, he would have put up similar numbers according to the stats. He had half the receptions and half the targets, so of course he had half the yards. Call them 1a and 1b if that makes you happy, but don't dismiss him simply because he doesn't have a Power T on his helmet.
I spend seven months a year in Arkansas, so trust me when I say I've heard their names before! Lol
UTGH i respect your opinions and think very highly of the info you bring. That said, you have to acknowledge that he MIGHT be 4th string here behind JH, DR, amd CP. He fits right in there with those guys, but he's not a forgone conclusion over our big 3 (assuming CP is as advertised)

And if you take out 1 game vs new Mexico he has under 400 yds for entire year. Fact is Da'Rick would not be overshadowed last year at Arkansas like Hamilton was. Also to your point on Rogers 9 ypt.... with it being even remotely that close when he is getting double teamed, targeted by a crappy qb that is throwing it up for grabs in Simms and Worley, etc.... Just furthers the point.
Would you start him over jarius wright, who led the SEC in receiving, or joe adams? They were both seniors with more experience is why they started ahead of him. Also Greg Childs was predicted to be the 2nd best WR in the SEC preseason and started ahead of him for a number of games early. Don't see how you could predict that so matter-of-factly. Im not saying he couldn't do it though.
I would be ok with hamilton being 3rd...they arent that far apart imo.
