Show me the development job Hartline has done with any of his WRs that matches what Pope did with Hyatt.
Chris Olave. 3 star recruit. 1st round pick.
Career 176 receptions 2,711 yds. 15.4 yds per rec. 36 TDs
Jalin Hyatt. 4 star recruit.
Career 108 receptions 1,769 yds 16.4 yds per rec 19 TDs
One could argue that the jump Hyatt made from '21 to '22 was a more impressive feat than Olave's year to year development. But you expect more from a 4 star than a 3 star. I am not diminishing what Pope has done so far and for Hyatt, but the overall body of work for Hartline is more impressive.
Have you seen that statistic updated in recent years? I know we had the lead at one time but things change when you stagnate for 15 years like we did.Tennessee has the most first round picks at WR all-time with 11 (possibly 12 in April). So we are still WRU all-time, to me. However, I doubt anyone has thought of us as such in at least 15 years, which is understandable. But we have some absolute studs we are going to send to the NFL over the next few years, starting in April.
That is a good stat. I was mostly surprised to see most of the comparisons being to OSU personally. I think LSU has a pretty strong case considering they may have the best 2 receivers in the NFL right now in Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase on the heels of the OBJ and Landry era.Tennessee has the most first round picks at WR all-time with 11 (possibly 12 in April).

We need Hyatt to go round 1 big time.
