2024 2024 WR Joshisa "Jojo" Trader (Miami Central)

[Bunker Mentality]

Wasn’t so much talking about recruiting ( other than the fact it would give Mario another year to find a top QB ) as I was having a stud 5th year QB to lead the team cause as of right now unless you’re counting Emory as a top QB there’s not one on the roster and getting one this year doesn’t look imminent.

I have no doubt Emory will be much better by this time next year.
Very intense when it comes to this football thing, and he showed a lot of leadership qualities in limited reps on Saturday.

Did he end up at the OSU game like the recruiting websites reported?

Their reporters don’t spring leaks.
Maybe someone connected on here can verify or deny.

If he went to the game it would have been reported unless OSU made him wear that stupid Butkus mask.

 

[GojiraCane]

Meh… I’ll take him as a secondary option we need a much much better QB than him…

Don't sleep on Emory. He's the son of this guy:

Speaking of Chance and JoJo being in sync, @One9 captured this in the Spring Game Visitors thread

Visits - Spring Game Visitors (April 14, 2023)

Is it just me or does every recruit Miami goes after want to take at least another 5-6 visits other places before committing? I mean even the low 3 stars want to make sure Rutgers is not the choice before committing it's just bizarre. It's April I probably would want to take visits as well exp...

I think it was @Cribby who said things are more on the same page with us than they were a couple of months ago. Hoping this is another Reuben Bain type situation where he just waits a while to commit to the good guys.

Chance, Trader, Duff

Please Please Please Please let this become reality! The wonders that the above would do for our WR situation cannot be fathomed.

We want at least four IMO. I'd like five. We only took two last cycle and they are both small.

But they are going to be very good.

What’s wrong with small receivers? If they can catch and get open, that’s all you need. Big receivers tend to be overrated, slow/stiff and become busts more frequently

Nothing. They have their roles. You also need receivers with size so you can run your whole playbook. They have their roles too. You need a complete WR room. Which is why UM has desperately been trying to add a playmaker with size this off-season.

Height definitely matters in football. It's only one of many variables, but let's not pretend it's not important. Top WR's this year, as ranked by 247:

 

[DTP]

In the modern passing game, a wide receiver who can consistently make contested catches is worth their weight in gold. Most of the guys who are beating DBs for 50/50 balls are 6' and up. Not that smaller guys are worthless. They definitely have their role but usually short guys have to be open to make catches where you can throw it to a taller guy who's well covered and he'll still make the catch.

You arent lying there, but to be clear the model WR has changed a bit from the towering Megatrons of the world to guys that are around 6 feet and have the flexibility to be moved around the LOS and create instant separation. Jefferson, Chase, Kupp, CeeDee, Wilson, Devonta, Tyreek, Waddle, Diggs and Amon-ra arent big.

We get those three and take whatever flier they want in a 4th, I’d be good.

Yeah the 6'4" guys aren't as en vogue these days but those guys for the most part are still 6' and up. It's tough to have a bunch of 5'9" receivers who aren't Tyreek Hill fast.

Another Rasta Edit. IMO, coaches are targeting certain players w/these edits.
