'20 FL WR Malachi Wideman (Tennessee signee)

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

The kid is a receiver and the coaches are very much counting on him to pick up a lot of the slack from losing Jennings and Callaway. They are excited about him because he was an all-star against the defense on scout team this past season. Like BigorangeBoy said, he hasn't even practiced on defense since last Spring.

Not from practice reports. He catches everything.

Interesting, I had thought he was running solely at WR too, but then I saw some recent film footage of him working out in the weight room and he was working out with Trevon Flowers, Theo Jackson and Kenneth George (all of which are DBs) and now this latest projected D depth chart shows him at FS. Of course any projected depth chart from Vols Wire means little at this point and could just be complete guesswork, but one would think they would be a little more up to date than that.

I very much like where we stand with him as of this evening.

why am i so afraid of “as of this evening” BVS?

FWIW, Dan Haralson took that photo...

Crazy things happen in recruiting especially 24hrs until Signing Day.

Lane does not deserve anything. I want him to crash and burn.

In light of the Kobe Bryant tragedy, that probably wasn’t the best choice of words.

We wish him little success... how’s that?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So if you and AV are right it will be a great day for us and a horrible day for FL. I like that a lot. Any other SEC teams you think will not do well Wednesday?

Thanks, I guess. Not trying to offend. I want him to get relieved of his duties on the tarmac.

 

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

What a reciever haul if we add Beckwith and Wideman to Hyatt, Calloway, Holiday, and Gibbs(now eligible)

Forgot Velus Jones. He’ll probably be the most instant impact guy out of all of him. Think we end up turning him into a draft pick

Got me then. Maybe they was letting him catch a bunch so it will be easier to get them INT. on defense.

 

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

Ole Miss will close strong and land wide receiver
Malachi Wideman
, possibly Evans and down the road perhaps
Leonard Manuel
. Lane Kiffin will do a great job selling this offense to recruits and I expect defensive improvements in the 2021 class as well. Oh, and don’t be surprised if they steal Marc Britt from Florida.

this is the same guy that said Florida would have a great early signing day and it ended up awful for them

They literally went 0-5

same

same

Ehh I’ll be happily surprised if he is anything more than a return specialist

 

[Nashvegas31]

Why would Ole Miss want to flip Manuel when he is going ju Co?

 

[wuwh_08]

Something he is definitely used to doing.

Filming?

 

[dcm3w]

I'm okay with that. I'd rather have a solid non-starter be our return guy due to injury risk.

I think we'll be okay at the WR position but the real question is can we get them the ball consistently?

 

[VolForLife83]

Fan: What have you done for me lately Nieds?
Nieds: My bad, I had a down cycle. Just Tyler Baron...
Fan: You SUCK!

Baron was coming regardless, be honest

 

[butchna]

Baron was coming regardless, be honest

Like Cade Mays? Honestly didn’t appear so for quite awhile and it required a heavy recruitment.

 

[LittleVol]

I like Neids. Think he's a really good recruiter. But people throw elite around on this board way too loosely.

He was the #2 Ranked recruiter for the 2019 cycle. He is one of the best.

 

[LittleVol]

This years “recruiter rank” supports this comment

No coach is ever consistently ranked in the top 10 year after year.

So if he gets back in the top 10 for 2021, will he all of a sudden be good again?

 

[LittleVol]

Agree. So many idiots and wimps think they’re flexing and being “real”. Bunch of morans.

* moron

But yes, you're right. People are very silly.
Pruitt and this staff have a roster ready to compete for Atlanta in just a little over 2 seasons. They're doing a phenomenal job.

 

[LittleVol]

You never know with these kids....but we have put ourselves in a position where we clearly make the most sense as a player who is serious about winning.

Yes.
Pruitt has our defense stocked.
And now the offense is very soon to follow.

 

[thunder5]

Why would Ole Miss want to flip Manuel when he is going ju Co?

Because it looks good on paper...Kiffin is all about the hype

Lol I was referring to Atleast being in the top 50 with the kind of hype he gets,which I consider elite and being where he’s at it shouldn’t be hard if he is indeed (Elite) but he’s not even in the top 300 this year last I checked,and his only committed recruit is Tyler baron So TIFWIW champ.
