What’s the skinny on Jojo Trader?

It is not that hard to figure out. JoJo is being disciplined for something, don’t know what it is but he has been disciplined by denying playing time, Look at all the signs…
1. He was the most talked about WR coming out of the Bowl Game and Spring Practices
2. He played some snaps against ND but had no catches to speak of.
3. Suddenly he disappeared from sight. He didn’t even show up on the sidelines to 2 straight home games.
4. After BS injury rumors, Mario says in multiple interviews that he is healthy and will be available to play.
5. He continues not to get on the field.
6. Mario suddenly changes the message saying he has to earn his snaps on the practice field.
7. He is finally in uniform at FSU but doesn’t play.

These are all signs of a Coach handing out discipline for some type of transgression. I will not speculate about what the issue might be but the signs are obvious. JoJo is too talented to give up on and I hope whatever the issues are, they get worked out. I hope we see him get to show his ability on the field as there is a lot of football left to play. I am rooting for him to succeed.
Excellent. One thing to keep in mind, is coaches love when players respond after being in the doghouse or being called out. All it takes is one or two good practices and a couple good plays in the game to be moved up in the rotation. Long season remaining.

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.

if you need talking too right now at this point in the season, then you have some problems, meng.
Hate saying this but I don’t see him playing this year. He will redshirt and hit the portal shortly after the season ends. Again I hate saying this before anyone wants to rip me but I get those vibes.

I see him playing on Friday or Dawson wouldn't have brought it up. Why would he?
Presumably he was answering a direct question about him. They’ve said for a few weeks that he’d be available with the implication he was going to play. Would be great to see him actually get reps though this time if the coaches feel he’s ready to play now

That quote was in response to a direct question from a reporter regarding Jojo.
 
Marion has made 1 mistake all season and has made the most out of basically every touch he gets. Daniels and Toney are the clear cut 1a and 1b.

On top of that Tony Johnson and Moore both looked great against USF.

Where is the need for whatever fantasy of Jojo you all have in your heads? It’s really simple - He isnt good enough.

CIS scouting department has spoken. Sorry guys, Jojo is done.

Tho since you brought up Marion, you should know he didn't start as a WR for basically 4 full years and barley played. Good thing he didn't listen to people saying he wasn't good enough

I know we're all full of ourselves right now, but no team is ever good enough to just say "we don't need that guy" about a WR1 talent.
