I watched an Ahmmon Richards highlight on IG and said this is what we need JO JO to be as a first time starter.

The hype has been brewing and he’s been called the next one by Cam. If those abilities are there as many of us believe. Is an Ahmmon Richards freshman year type season possible for JO JO?

I really hope so. Richards was robbed of a long career and a chance at stardom. Really hope Jo Jo realizes his full potential here.
 
Ahmmon Richards story is a crying shame. That dude had that dog in him. Would he have been an All-American? First Rounder? **** man

I don’t think OP was necessarily comparing their styles as much as stating that UM needs that level of production from its 5 star WR. I don’t think it’s farfetched to tihnk Jojo as a sophomore can have the impact that a true freshman did. Especially catching balls from Carson Beck and with no experienced WR ahead of him. Richards was still the #2 WR behind Coley his freshman year (even if he was better).
 
Not sure who is faster but both have the ability to separate with their route running. Remains to be seen if JoJo has that dog in him as AR had that special knack to make big plays when we needed it most.
 
I have a feeling that Jo Jo is either a day one pick or a greentree/sofla legend that never panned out.
Hope he doesn’t become a recurrent cis thread that we argue about for a decade.

Bottom line is we got the wrong teammate who he will always be compared to.
J Smith will continue to be brought up for at least a decade. Unfortunately for Trader, every time J Smith makes a great catch or goes for 150, or wins a Super Bowl; the name JoJo trader will peek its head in the mind of every cane fan. And it’s unfortunate for the young man.
The only way it doesn’t is if he comes close to being J smith. And that’s not happening.

He doesn’t have to be Jeremiah. He just has to be the best version of himself. You gotta remember a lot of beast WR’s don’t have SB’S.

Yep almost like Joe Yearby and Dalvin Cook but worse because unlike Cook we were so close to getting J Smith

Can’t cry about spent money, can’t see-off a sailed ship.

Has nothing to do with crying about the past and J Smith.
It’s all these insiders talking for a year about the things he’s done in practice against a secondary who everyone torched.
I’m know he’s been injured. But we’ve heard too many stories for 2 decades about stuff done in practice that doesn’t show up on Saturdays.

I disagree with this analogy only because I believe Trader will play in the NFL. Cook compared to Yearby was a 10 year pro vs a good college player. I think Smith vs Trader will be an NFL All-Pro vs a productive NFL receiver.

He’s living in the shadow of his teammate just like others have and that’s not a big deal.
But dudes have been talking about him balling and making last year’s sorry secondary look silly as if it was some sort of accomplishment.

You’re saying “the best version of himself” and what exactly do you mean? The best version of Mark Pope was at a marathon gas station.
Yea, he doesn’t need to be J Smith. But he better be the best dammm receiver on the team.

Let’s stop crowning recruits and players that haven’t done anything.

Not 1 person has crowned trader. And he was apparently balling vs all the new corners too this spring so just over look that too? Nobody is going to be smith. Dude like him don’t come around often. Trader was ranked a top 50 player coming out of hs. So the kid has elite ability in his own right. Fans can be excited about what he could potentially do
