ohhhh.

 

[JRVOL11]

but do we really need him though?

but do we really need him though?

We got open spots.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

He’s electric though. This kid, Tillman, Hyatt and Bru would be nasty. May even be able to help in the return game. And would give the freshman WRs a little more cushion to grow. Plus already knows the offense.

already kind of deep in the slot tho

Hard to tell. Looks like he's only had one strong season, granted it was the one under Heupel. Dealt with some injuries.

It would be telling if Hype really wants him, otherwise...not going to care too much.

We lost Javonta Peyton and we lost Velus Jones Jr. Two seasoned vet playmakers on the offense. I think it’s worth kicking the tires here alongside adding Bru McCoy.

I guess so, but not any proven depth. I don't remember how many portal spots we have, but I could think of much worse players to fill it. Especially as a 1 year guy. Gives us some nice cushion for the freshman and next class.

 

[Devo182]

Saw a 247 (national so...grade of slaw) tweet earlier saying our biggest portal needs were WR/RB/OL.

Maybe just me, but I feel like DB and LB are much more imminent needs. Pieces of the offense feel pretty replaceable due to the scheme. Not saying to pass up on a BIG time WR/RB/OL.

Bru would be a nice add. But 2 WRs seems excessive in this offense that creates WRs out of thin air. Jmo

We have 23 committed rn.

Iirc at some point VQ started throwing around the idea of 28-30 total commitments. So 5-7? And if more guys enter the portal, maybe that changes. Seems to only be an 85 issue at this point, otherwise we could've taken the whole 32 afaik.

I mean...I think WR is an unknown until someone else steps up. Yes, Tillman is solid. Hyatt has been inconsistent. Theres not really anyone else proven. I think you have to give yourself some solid options, and preferably not while forcing your freshmen to grow up too quickly. Squirrel, Merrill, Webb, Cameron Miller, Nimrod may be great. But they're still super young and need time and leadership. I'm okay with transfers to provide time for development and growth from the younger guys.

Are we? Nobody has really proven anything, this kid has actually put up numbers..

 

[NoogaVol96]

If the staff wants him then I’m all for it but if not then we will be just fine. I just figured I would share since there is some ties there.

This kid was in the J. Payton role for Heupel at UCF. Not a slot receiver.

 

[Jake Tate]

but do we really need him though?

Yes

 

[NotoriousRPP]

Would take the spot we had reserved for Neyor.

 

[AresTheVol]

Would take the spot we had reserved for Neyor.

Neyor was our receiver opposite tillman, which would now be bru

Good to see you back Notorious.

I meant spot in the class. Not on the field.

We won't take another receiver I think, wouldn't make sense

 

[NotoriousRPP]

Never really left. Just took a break from posting. Didn’t realize it had been over two years.

We lost 2 of our top 3 receivers from last year. Outside of Keyton no one else was playing. You can be hopeful that someone steps up but if you can add a proven player, you do.
