Spring which wasn’t seen by 99% of this board.
Spring which was 99% rumors.
Spring against guys you already know their weaknesses
Spring against a new DC and ~6 new DBs
Spring pratciSe… PRACTIsCe?!

This is why you wait until the rounds are live.

So he isnt playing because he didnt do well against competition outside of practice against his own teammates? This was gleaned from like the 4 snaps he's gotten this year?

I think its important we somehow get the best out of JoJo. After Zayquan Patterson leaving, and JoJo lack of development, my concern is the Chaminade pipeline, as we already see Cooper leaving SOFLA for Texas too. Hoping its not a “thing” yet, but something to monitor.

It’s hard to have development when the player isn’t practicing hard or putting in the work behind the scenes.

This post is pure nonsense

1. He wasn’t by far the best WR in spring camp

2. His issues are not injury related

But go ahead and cook

This right here, and what people don’t seem to wanna accept is this, he was getting passed by the younger guys before the injury even happened. Obviously things can change, but as of right now, I don’t see him on our team next year.

I don’t get it with Jojo - he was called out a couple weeks ago for his effort.
How does he get comfortable with his place to begin with? Seeing the work ethic CJ and MT brought to the team once they stepped on campus didn’t register on his radar back then?

We could really use a stronger #3 and now we are waiting to see who is going to step up from the group of Marion, Josh Moore, Daylyn Upshaw, Ny Carr, Jojo, RayRay, Chance and TJ? It’s probably Marion at this point by default, but hoping at least Moore gets some more run.

It’s too bad for Jojo. Just shows no one can take things for granted. Keep grinding.

Marion has done a good job as our number three receiver. It’s all propaganda that he isn’t pulling his weight there. He’s blocking his *** off and can stretch the defense with his speed, that’s all we need there. Oh, and he catches the ball when it’s thrown his way.

Literally all I said was that I disagreed with @JHallCanes comment about all his hype came from just one play in the Bowl game. Regardless of who/where the information came from, he was 100% getting a lot of hype in spring ball. At the end of the day, there is still an opportunity for Trader to have a role in this offense. Every day, people on here have been hoping someone steps up and locks down that WR3 spot — now’s the time.

Wide receiver, number three spot has already been locked up by somebody, his name is Marion. Not Jojo.

Or maybe they were just good bc of physical ability and j smith was the only one who had the grind in him

yea I was hoping he could be poor man’s Stacy c
Bc even though he got hurt every play he would at least make a play
When jojo missed those long passes against notre dame and one of them he ran the wrong route I knew he wasn’t him
Vs gabos who’s cooking dbs and breaking off routes for Carson

You think it's really that locked down? He only got one reception against Florida and zero against FSU. Marion may end up holding onto it, but I find it hard to believe Moore or Upshaw couldn't easily take his spot over the next few of weeks. My point with Trader is if he wants a role on this team this season, now is the time to step up
 
Top 3 WRs r Daniels, Toney, and Marion. Whether JoJo was injured or not he didn’t do enough to take that spot and isn’t doing enough to challenge Marion, regardless of the reason. Still plenty of season left for him to start contributing.

I was always worried about JoJo and his ability to stay healthy, every camp he got nicked up. I didn’t put much stake in the bowl game or spring camp as well, fall camp > spring camp.

On a bigger note high school WR recruiting has been mid for a while. When’s the last time we had some legit speed at that position or a guy come out of highschool put up 400-500yds? Besides Toney.

If they were in line to take his spot within a few weeks, they would’ve been getting more snaps. So unless they make a huge jump mid-season that is Marion’s spot. Marion is not perfect so if somebody can’t challenge him that’s says a lot about the room in general.

I know for a fact it is. I’ll repeat it again, Marion is putting in the work and practice and is completely bought in. Also, Marion blocks his *** off on the field, which is a must if you want to play in this offense. Also, Marion has take the top off the defense speed, and that is something the opposing defensive coordinator has to adjust to when he’s on the field. Which of course gives more opportunities to Tony and Daniel’s. Those are the facts, my friend.

I wasn't disagreeing or arguing with you at all. We need someone to solidify that WR3 spot, and I'm glad it is Marion. He's got a special skillset, so hopefully Dawson uses him correctly

My points are:
1- Who saw the practices that led to the hype?
2- What is their qualification?

This is cap. There was absolutely no talk of him getting passed until he got injured in fall camp. Then all these rumors started. Before that the talk was like him and toney was the best 2 wrs. The talk all spring was about how good trader was looking and the work he was putting in
