'22 TN WR Isaiah Horton (Miami Transfer)

[Big Gucci Sosa]

The Horton loss seems to be more about perception. It sounds like they like that Canadian receiver better as a player.

Yes. All perception based.

Meh

Meh

So I am an assistant coach at Oakland HS and I can tell you Horton had all the physical tangibles to produce highly at the Power 5 level. However, if there was one criticism he had received in multiple camps is the ability to set his feet early out of breaks and having a lack of top end speed. Great at high pointing and very physical though

I’m removing my CB for Isaiah Horton to Tennessee.

Probably a good call. Great kid but Horton has mentioned going to schools with a a completely new change of scenery as well (Miami, UF etc) so the announcement soon shouldn’t shock anyone

if people didn't copy and paste, this board wouldn't know anything.. people would be sucking at the AV tit trying to get false hope/info..

Yeah I don’t understand why people hate info so much……everyone is free to judge wheth r they trust the info or not.

 

[volbeast33]

I really like Horton. Not my call but I will be disappointed if we did not go all in.

I have quit trying to judge talent…. Some of my bigger misses….. thought Randall Cobb would suck at kentucky( I watched him every Friday night)…… thought Derek Barnett would suck and be much worse than some of the other DL we were bringing in…… thought Khalil McKenzie was going to be an absolute beast…..thought Peyton Manning was picked as qb bc of his last name bc imo Brandon Stewart looked better.

 

[TrippieRedd]

someone sell me on that Elic kid....I don’t see it.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

I predict we flip a big name WR in December once the world see the on field productivity of our WR's. I got Velus over 700 yards, Hyatt over 1k if he stays healthy. Calloway/Tillman/Keyton/Jett over 1800.

Recruiting is an inexact science. Someone could be a star in one system, but a career backup in another.

Very Callahan of you.

Just guessing but none of us know….. his highlights from 2 years ago….. who knows how he has grown as a player since that time?

The coaches have seen him and evaluated him in person, so I'll have to trust them on this one.

Staff wasn’t that high on Horton. Miami went all in and we didn’t.

Went all in:

I totally get this and totally trust our coaches.

I hope they end up proving our trust in them is correct.

I mean, I definitely trust three things (in this order)

Rodney Garners eye for DL talent
Josh Heupels eye for QB talent
Kodi Burns eye for WR talent.

I would add both our LB coaches and Martinez into the conversation as well...I'm wait and see about RB, TE and OL although I would say I'm cautiously optimistic...

I love the fact that most of our offensive staff has coached together in the past...after seeing how our "thrown together" staffs have done over the past decade I'm very much a believer in chemistry and continuity amongst a coaching staff

RB coach has been a pleasant surprise IMO. Doing a good job in Memphis/Mississippi.

I’m in a lot better place with Martinez than I was when he was a candidate. Still not full on trust wise.

Too early to say on Burns IMO

I’m removing my CB for Isaiah Horton to Tennessee.

In that case, I’m upping my confidence level to 10 on my balls
