Regarding Pope hire:

“He’s a good guy and I’m excited to build this relationship with him. I can tell that he’s a competitor and I know he wants what’s best for his athletes. I’ve been talking to him for about two weeks now – really, ever since I got the offer. He called me after getting the job and I could tell he was excited that the receiver room is finally his room.”

Houston, Iowa State, Georgia, Miami, Auburn, and of course the good guys have all offered in the last week.

Florida, Alabama, FSU, PSU, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, and WVU have all offered this week as well. This kid is blowing up.

 

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

Likely the number 1 overall JUCO player by signing day

I'm interested to see if he runs a faster 200M than Cordarelle Patterson

Hopefully he is a better WR than CP.

 

[VolInDayton]

Hopefully he is a better WR than CP.

If he was guaranteed identical production as CP, we would accept his commitment in a heartbeat.

You mean total production as in like kick off returns? Absolutely. As a pure WR only? Highly doubtful.

Can you imagine CP's numbers in this offense?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Can you imagine CP's numbers in this offense?

No doubt.

He had 46 catches for 778 yards receiving for almost 17 ypr…. He also ran for 308 yards….. if he played in this offense…. He would be our most productive receiver and absolutely eat…. Could you imagine having him singled up in our wide splits?

 

[jvols1999]

Feels like he's being slept on in terms of elite WR prospects in this class for whom we were already in the mix pre-Nico commitment

 

[RiseToTheTop]

we're having no problems getting WRs and that will continue

 

[voltn21]

WRU baby!!!

This guy is as important as any WR recruit this class. I think he would be an instant impact player. With Tillman gone and a new QB in 2023 , we need players to make sure we don't take a step back.
