I think this year’s offense and receiving class that we currently have on campus will be the players that the five stars you want to come and duplicate.

Malachi is putting in that work and another special year and he’s gonna set us up for success. Upshaw is looking like he’s campaigned to be his sidekick.
 
Upshaw got next. I know it's really small ****, and obviously he's caught a grand total of 7 passes, but things like this matter. Mensah calling him out by name, saying he's working. And Josh Moore is hurt, so maybe he'd have been at this, but on the whole team, JSN wants to work with Toney (obviously), the literal best HS prospects in the area, and Upshaw. This is the type of setting you bring him to (if you're Toney) when you're convinced he's the goods.

Why isn't JSN in Columbus doing this, oh yeah thats right it’s boring there. Nothing to do there but burn roaches with a magnifying glass

I won’t front and will keep it 100. A kid would have to be a special kind of fool to choose UM over Ohio State if they played the receiver position.

When kids can see themselves in the players, that’s recruiting gold. Finally we have Toney who kids can see themselves in. Bro I think the last dominant receiver we had was Andre Johnson…LOL

Man I am hoping for the receiver room to show out this year so those elite 5 stars want to come here instead of Ohio State

Toney is a smart fool then

also, i think malachi has gotten taller ... he came in at 17 so there was room for more growth ... september seems so far away

That was my observation. When I saw him next to JSmith, I thought he was closer to 5-9 but after seeing him next to JS, he's probably b/w 5-10/5-11

Think about it. Look at the QB’s we had along with the dull outdated offensive schemes. Until last season we haven’t played in any meaningful games.

The last couple of seasons made me realize I was naive as heck. I use to get so upset that top receivers didn’t come to UM

Now I see the light after experiencing what a real team looks like. I see why kids went to Bama and Ohio State.

Crazy it took us 20 plus years to get a dominate receiver from South Florida. Another great year and kids will line up to come play receiver

Yup. This feels similar to when Cam got here but we have way more options

There’s a new QB. If you want the ball you’re going to have to go the extra mile and separate yourself from the pack

This WR room is honestly absurd when you consider guys like Wingo and Spafford making noise

Is this something each player pays to participate in?

Idk if this particular situation or could of been sponsored in some way but they are working wit a trainer so it's fair to expect compensation in some form, these players getting nil for most part (more talking our players)..break bread and invest in yourself..

@Receiverfactory also did camp wit Chad Johnson last year, working wit a ton of the top of NFL guys..

Upshaw is always working. He’s going to be a factor in our offense.

People have been sleeping on him. He could end up being #2 behind Toney before it all said and done. As of right now I expect Toney, Barkate, Moore to be the top 3 but you never know. The room is beyond loaded.

Agree. Although it's great press/advertisement for the camp

Being a Top 3 WR in college as a 17 year old and being like yep, I need to do this camp…that’s some good stuff

JH....the work never stops.....Always that reach for that extra advantage..

Even at the top of your age group you have to work in order to stay there.....good stuff.......
and you know what is outstanding .......... that Mali with all the adulation, and near the top of his game..he still has the mindset to keep getting better, and a desire to grow his potential in order to get more proficient..

Excellent points.
