I met Carl Pickens when I was really young and visiting the indoor practice field... he was the only guy there who actually went out of his way to hang out with the kids, ended up racing him in the 100 and playing touch football.

Also, where are Les Miserables?

i agree with the thread title. this kid's name just will not go away. someone posted, before he arrived that the staff was very excited about him. thought that was a good call.

I am a firm believer that this kid may be our best WR as is. There's no telling what we might witness from him in the next 3-4 years. With all the top notch wideouts the Vols signed last year a few are bound to be sucessful at this level. From what it sounds like Justin has the desire to be great on and off the field. I will be sporting a Justin Hunter jersey in Neyland this year.

I remember when Tee Martin set the UT record for consecutive completions, but it only recently occurred to me that, he had receivers then who were not dropping the ball. I am going to go back and see if I can reconstruct who those receivers were during that streak, and I hope our current ones do that kind of job in helping their quarterback(s).

Rogers and Hunter are both atheletically very gifted. Milton is the type of receiver that brings that physical presence with his large frame. All will have to play this year which will bode well for us next year.

Meachem Swain and Smith were a good combo, however ther was only one of those guys that was really a dominator (Meachem when healthy) on the field. I dare say that atheletically this group of 3 is better overall than the Swain, Meachem, and Smith trifecta. This will help out our QB's alot and hopefully since we now seem to have multiple deep threats at the WR position our runninggame may open up better than we thought.

I agree. Hunter, Rogers, and Milton will be better than Meachem, Swain, and Smith IMO. And It's not even gonna be close

Poole is the playmaker. We will suprise a few this year. Oregon is our pivotal game...

This was before the spread, so you only played about 4-5 WR's. I know Peerless Price, Jermaine Copeland, and Cedrick Wilson were the main targets.

He’s tall,” Baggett said. “He’s rangy. He has huge hands. He plucks the ball out of the air. He has very good ball skills. He can cut on a dime. He can accelerate. All the things you look for in a great receiver, this kid has. I’m just looking forward to coaching him and seeing how much better he can get.

This makes me even more hyped about our WR's! I just hope to God that we have, at the very least, decent QB play!

Thats lofty praise from a VERY experienced long time NFL Coach. the kid obviously has great skills but whats even more positive is to read about his attitude. Reminds me of a Larry Fitzgerald at Pitt. :peace:

I haven't read much about Denarius Moore. I thought for sure he would be making strides this season. Does anyone know how he is doing?

Moore and Jones are like Hardesty last year. Everyone talking about how the super freshman (what was his name?) was gonna jump him and take over. Moore and Jones are doing work and gonna be fine... maybe even very good. Moore can fly, just no one talks about it anymore.

True. I was there last year when he made that 4-5 yard flight into the endzone for a TD against Georgia. Loved it!

Moore is a legit deep threat. I think that Rogers and Hunter have the speed to be deep threats too.
