Everyone is talking about Agiye Hall but man I was really impressed with Traeshon Holden.

Had a few drops but other than that he looked solid. I think we are gonna be better than people think at WR this year.

Agreed and I also liked what I saw of Thaui Jones-Bell. He's a slippery slot receiver. Plus we didn't get to see Jacory Brooks and Leary.

I like Bell and Holden a lot.

By seasons end I think Hall will be our #1 WR with either Metchie or Holden being #2, just based on last year and we saw at A-Day

I'm not sure there has ever been a better college wide receiver corp of the last few years so I don't expect them to be that good this soon, but I am very optimistic.

I hope these guys are not like some who have had stellar ADay games to never see the field in the fall. Got to admit I am excited about Hall . Seems like we have one or two who do well in the A Day game or “turning heads” in fall camp and then just don’t get a lot of time for whatever reason

The exciting thing is, there are still lots of questions that will be answered this summer. It's really hard to come to a unanimous conclusion after Saturday because of how many players were held out. Plus there are several players coming in this summer that can make an impact.

Jones-Bell was very impressive and has barely been mentioned. Hall’s catch radius is insane, that kid will be 3 and done, was very impressed with his hands.
Slade also impressed me too, I thought we would see more of Baker.

Yea when I saw he was 6’3 I figured he would be a big bodied possession type but he looks very athletic and smooth . Nice weight for his size

A few drops will keep him on the pine.

Give him a little time... Probably nerves... He'll be a good one...

That catch for a TD(Replay would have caught it) at the pylon on the fade was Unbelievable!!....1-handed. You wont see a better one all year!..I dont know how quick he really is in and out of his breaks,or how polished a route runner he is yet. But he is a Big Body and seems to be pretty physical with some shake...I like Bell also,and it will be VERY interesting to see how The 4 rookie WRs progress over the summer as they continue to learn how to play the position...RTR...

I worry about Baker and whether the lights might be too bright for him. He always seems to get rave reviews in practice and training but it hasn't seemed to translate to the big stage yet. It seemed like last year he might be in Metchie's spot and this year I thought he would have a bigger impact on the spring game. I really hope it works out for him and all comes together.
I don't know why but Holden reminds me of ArDarius Stewart. Not necessarily in style but I just think he has the potential to be a reliable 2nd/3rd option or rotation receiver who will make some key plays when his time comes.
There is so much pass catching potential across the wide receivers, tight ends and backs. I am really excited to see how it shakes out in August.

I think our WR group will be fine either way. The running game will be so good paired with the arm and brains that Bryce has, and someone will be running open every play. Too many weapons for the defense to lock down every play. Similar to last year in talent, just won’t be quite as explosive as the new guys learn. 2022 could rival 2020 though offensively.

Watching John Doe break-down A-Day and Hall is a special talent for sure

Hall is the best receiver on our team. He’s just gotta get in the playbook, and get reps. He’s a freak of nature future first-rounder.
This freshman crop of WRs is similar to the class with Jeudy, Ruggs, and Smith. We need to get them on the field with Metchie, and put Bolden/Holden on the bench.

It's too early to talk about who is going to start and shine this year. We still haven't seen three of them play and all of them are highly rated 4 and 5 stars. So we have to wait till fall to see how it shakes out. Hall and Holden definitely can play at a high level.

Rewatching the spring game and the throw by Bryce that Holden can't hold on to in the back of the end zone on the first drive is a hell of a throw.
