'22 FL WR CJ Smith (Georgia commit)

[Vols1117]

Idk if he’s said officially yet. Some of Heupel’s statements and him not participating in senior activities makes me think chances are high.

Would be great. Giving another quarterback time to get ready

 

[UTMVol76]

Yeah I haven’t felt this good about an upcoming season since 2016. That season was a disappointment, I don’t think this upcoming season will be.

This may sound crazy, but this years team reminded me of the ‘94 team.

I think just having Hooker in there with the wide receivers and working on timing and everything will help as well. The offense should get better IMO next year.

They also kept the playbook simplified because it was a new system for everyone. They will open things up more next year.

Perhaps Hyatt replaces Velus Jones as the kickoff and punt returner.

Uhh no thank you. Not unless you want him being tackled immediately as he gets touched.

Someone started it with Basillio saying the coaches don’t like the talent at WR. Sure they did not tell him that. Someone said they would have played more. Just because they didn’t play more does not automatically mean they won’t be ready next year. We used to do it that way all the time. The seniors got the most work because they were ready. The more you get then the ball, the bigger their numbers, and then look what recruits see. And the coaches are recruiting better players at all positions not just WR.[/QUOTE

Basilio has a habit of saying BS like that. Someone may have told him the coaches don’t like their WR but in reality no coach is going to tell anybody that Basilio knows that. He says that to just generate conversation. Means nothing really except it’s not true. If Calloway and others had that feeling or was told that by Burns or Heupel they would have been in the portal a long time ago.

 

[jlbvols]

So had Hendon decided if he coming back yet ?

Not only Hooker but Cade Mays as well. Their NFL ratings are projecting a low draft. Hooker I think is definitely back and Hubbs is saying Cade may come back as well.

Not only is Velus fast and elusive, he's hard to bring down, he breaks tackles.

Exactly which Hyatt does not do. That’s not someone you want back at Kick Returner.

Or sprints out of bounds

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Or sprints out of bounds

I understand running out of bounds if you are cornered. But dude always just manages to step out lol. He will have a clear sideline and do some type of juke move and manage to step out. It’s insane. Never seen anything like it.

I think Hyatt and Callaway realize it ain’t the scheme or school or coaches… they held themselves back. Going to another school won’t fix what they need to fix.. sounds like if a WR transferred its holiday but again his issue is health not coaching

This. Each of them had opportunities to get ample playing time but just could not execute.

Sometimes?

He’s also proven he can’t catch footballs.

That’s awfully strong statement.
I wouldn’t say he can’t catch them, he just has a very good immunity towards them

Is CJ Smith a take now? And his level of interest in us

Depends on who you ask. Fans- yes take everyone
Talk show speculators— a wait and see
Coaches—- No one knows but them.
Interested in us — yes , how much

Velus had 6 catches in 2019, 22 in 2020 and up to 52 in 2021. .Why don’t you root for Hyatt to succeed? It took Venus until his senior season to really excel. Why not let Hyatt have the same chance?

Velus would have succeeded in 2020 if they didn't wait until the last 3 games to throw him the ball.

Looks very talented… thinking good fit

Which is not a quality I want in a WR.

Florida just lost another kid lol.

And the sit at number 79 in the recruiting rankings on Rivals with only 7 commits. Man, you just hate that for them don't ya?? Lol

Who’s not rooting for him? Seems like a good kid from a good family. I hope he does great but, you have to bring in talent at all positions then allow the cream to rise.
