Hard to talk about a kid with almost zero film of him out there. I have no clue what we are getting out of him besides bleeding orange. Prob worst offer list of any commit we have.

Schools often shy away from offering kids they know they have no chance of flipping. Why waste recruiting efforts and resources on someone you can't get?

Is Creamer definitely projected as a wideout, or does the staff have him lined up somewhere else?

Also, why does it seem like no one is talking about this kid?

Set to be an EE, so we will hear some stuff about him in Spring practice. Seems like a WR/TE hybrid to me. Hopefully he can catch some red zone passes and block for some wr screens.

SIAP but I found this interesting:

Vol Commit - Neiko Creamer wins Rivals Mid Atlantic MVP (Posted on 4/9/13 at 9:38 am)
5.7 *** WR Neiko Creamer wins the Mid-Atlantic Rivals camp MVP award. A fourth star sounds likely for the Vol legacy and current commit.

LINK

quote:
The Tennessee Volunteers should be excited about Creamer's potential. At 6'4, 220 lbs, he was unstoppable on the outside. Whenever his team needed a completion, Creamer was getting the ball. He was open on deep crossing routes all day. Creamer knows how to use his big frame to box out defenders and has an impressive vertical leap to be consistent downfield threat. With his great frame, Creamer could grow into a hybrid tight end in knoxville.


WR fap threads, engage.

Runners up.

2. Jamil Kamara - WR 4 star (106 overall)
3. Juwann Winfree - ATH 5.7 ***
4. David Sills - QB class of 2015. unranked.

Yes please.... Teach a few of our guys while you are at it.

I don't know any exact numbers but North has Rogers beat in just about every category. He has more catches and yards than Hunter, however Hunter had more TD's

Of course our 2010 receiving corp was much more experienced than the Freshmen led corp of 2013. That isn't the only significant difference but one that suggests comparison of raw numbers might not be all the meaningful. North was THE man this year; Hunter and Rogers were bench warmers much of their freshmen years not because they were no good but because we had 2 seniors ahead of them.

2013 Freshmen North leads receiving with 38 catches for 496 yds and 1 TD

2010 Senior Moore leads receiving with 47 catches for 981 yds and 9 TDs

cfbstats.com - 2010 Tennessee Volunteers Receiving

In 2010 Hunter and Rogers were mostly relegated by the seniors to waiting in the wings and our QBs passed for almost twice as many yards that year compared to our woeful performance passing this year. If you look at the game logs from 2010 our per game passing yardage took a HUGE jump when Bray relieved Simms so not just Hunter and Rogers but the entire receiving corp enjoyed a major production improvement with a prolific passer in the pocket. This year regardless of who stood in as the QB we and North were stuck with at best a Simms-like passing performer all year long.

North didn't have the benefit of having a very experienced tandum of seniors to pave the way. North will be a good one. Very dissapointed in the production of the others. Pig is decent, but will never be a game breaker. Bowles is a 4-star talent with 2-star output. Another in a long line of busts at UT. Croom needs to get real and move to TE.

North was also learning his position which he seldom played in high school.

Chaney threw the ball deep A LOT. Especially once he had Tyler's arm on the field. We abandoned the run. We have been handicapped with QB play thus not making it fair to compare North's FR year to Da'Rick or Justin.

Ok gotcha.

Your first post went straight over my head

Jones is expected to log more miles on Tuesday as he's expected to see D'Andre Payne and likely Neiko Creamer as well. Don't be surprised if Jones spends some time up in the Virginia, Washington D.C., Maryland area tomorrow or Wednesday as the Vols continue to make an effort to make that area more of a priority moving forward.

I hope he can block for some WR screens too. I have seen DBs blow by Downs several times this year on that play.

I saw someone on here compare Downs' injured knee to that of a 70 year-old man. After watching him play, I'd have to say that's an accurate assessment

I would be mildly shocked if he isn’t moved to TE. For no other reason than he’s getting huge, and specialized mainly on offense. But whaddoIknow? Who knows what he’s gonna be when he grows up?

Neiko Creamer knows what college football team he'll suit up for and has for over nine months.
He isn't having a second or third commitment ceremony and isn't flirting with other schools' coaches.

This weekend, the Tennessee commit educated himself further on what's in store once he arrives in Knoxville in his last trip south as merely a prospect.

"This visit was different because it was a true official visit," Creamer said. "You don't get to really do everything when you just go on an unofficial. We got to see coach Jones' house. We got to go out on a yacht on the river. We got to eat some great food.

"We had a great breakfast. We had waffles, French toast, omelets, bacon. We had cheese grits, the southern thing. Then, for dinner, we had chicken fingers, chicken strips, burgers, stuff like that. So, it was pretty good."

At 6 feet 4, 212 pounds the Eastern Christian (Md.) Academy could grow into a variety of positions as he matures or he could hold steady and play wide receiver.

"Right now I'm playing wideout," said Creamer, who is 100-percent committed to the Orange & White. "We'll see if I'm like a special type of wideout or there's a special position for me. But, coach Jones is a mastermind. If they need something special from me then he'll figure it out."

When the athlete first committed back on March 11, he was one of less than half a dozen players on the pledge sheet with Tennessee's 2014 class. That roster has grown exponentially and the Vols are No. 2 in Scout's team rankings.

"It's going to make me better as a player. Most importantly, it's going to make the team better. Coach Jones has several positions under his belt and this is just another one and now he's on the SEC level. When you have great coaching and a great recruiting class coming in, you know it's coming."

Taking that next step in life has the Scout three-star excited.

"It's just a great feeling," Creamer said. "I'm just excited. I'm ready to represent myself, my family and Vol Nation."

The Wilmington, Del., resident arrives on The Hill in January. Creamer doesn't yet know who his roommate will be.

"I don't really mind who I room with as long as they're clean," he said.

Several numbers were vacated by a double-digit number of Volunteers playing their final game in Lexington last month. However, Creamer is nearly set on selecting a digit that wasn't previously occupied by a scholarship player.

"I think I'm going to wear No. 9," he said. "I'm all for a different number. I saw 9 available so I grabbed it."

Creamer is one of several legacy prospects joining Big Orange Country in 2014. His father is Andre Creamer, who played on Rocky Top 1984-88.

I will be completely shocked if he's moved to TE.

Butch don't mess with finesse TEs.

Unless Creamer can come in and dominate at the LOS and Mash OLBs & DEs, I wouldn't look for a move to TE.

Please, check out what His blue print has been for TEs... big guys which can block down and lock up and whip Edge defenders.
