'22 TN WR Isaiah Horton (Miami commit)

[tnhunter 10]

Was Tillman an elite receiver when we took him?

Development for $1000

Development for $1000

Yes. And if Horton is a guy our staff believes they can develop into an elite player, then take him

Not at all.

Refresh my memory - did we take 5 receivers that class?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Don’t know. But I’m glad we took a guy like that late who ended up being one of the best receivers in the SEC and will be absolutely dominant when he returns next year.

I don't think people understand that this offense operates best with different WR types. It's not all about pure speed. In the SEC you need physical possession types as well. Guys that can beat press coverage.

Sure - if but you git one (or two) of the other receiver commits.

You don’t spend 5 initial counters at receiver. This ain’t Madden.

I guess it depends on what they think of our receiver room, and how many they know who may transfer out.

It doesn’t depend on that. They’re not taking 5 true freshman receivers this class.

Even if literally every current receiver left - they wouldn’t.

Guaranteed. Feel free to carry on with that thought though.

Cameron Miller is more of a utility type than a pure WR. You can put him in the backfield. Move him to the slot. Flex him out wide....etc

Ok

Smooth route runner the game I saw him play in.

hell, he wasn’t elite in 2020.

No, but teams hoping to build championship caliber teams don't do it taking fliers. We have a top tier wr class regardless of stars just looking at thier tape. This kid isn't at their level so if you use it on a receiver use it in the portal for a game ready kid IMO.

 

[Mr French]

He fell in our laps after we struck out on a bunch of other receivers. We wouldn't have got him had it not been for Clay Helton calling Tyson... not like we were recruiting and really wanted him.

I mean, this kid would be the highest ranked of all of them

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

If our staff wants him, I want him. Take 5 receivers. Who cares

We need receivers bad anyways. I’m with you.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Yes. And if Horton is a guy our staff believes they can develop into an elite player, then take him

I’d take all the receivers. Right now we have two that couldn’t catch a cold if it was embedded in their DNA…. Freaking Hyatt and Ramel…..

Would be shocked if Ramel doesn’t hit the portal after the bowl game or after Spring ball.

Agreed. Such disappointments I hope Hyatt gets his ish together. Kid could be an NFL receiver if he would get over his fear of contact and work on his hands. I mean, receiving gloves today are basically stickum he should not drop the ball as much as he does.

I mean, I said regarding the tape that's viewable our current receivers are better including Webb regardless of the stars
IMO

I think Hyatt needs to really really hit the weight room and have someone shoving food in face every hour l/other hour.

Can’t agree more. Kid is a stick.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Visit and is he a take?

No and no

Davonte Smith was small. He doesn't have to get heavier but learn how to break jams.

Well then he needs to get stronger he is lacking somewhere. Also, Davonte smith played like he was big. Hyatt does not.
