We are in desperate need of an outside receiving threat, especially when we go up against Louisiana and some other solid defenses. If Holloman was able to play for FIU last year, I don't get what would hold up him playing for us this year, unless something happened in between?100% agree. Losing Yarbrough is huge. If you review key drives & key plays that sustained those drive from last year, almost all consisted of a clutch pitch and catch to #13 on the outside. Our bevy of slot receivers are great but we need a vertical stretch to run the offense effectively. It is cool that Holloman pick Liberty mainly due to his relationship with MW. Chemistry is important when you need a 7 yard out to keep the drive.
I literally think he could be the difference between winning or losing 2 games.

There is not much a school can do now to block a player's first time transfer, but apparently after that they can, if they are willing to risk the potential blowback of getting that reputation. I'm not nearly as worried about our WR position as it looks like some here are. We have everyone back but Yarborough, and as talented as he is, he really did not contribute much due to injuries. A healthy Frith and Lofton, and progress from the other guys, and I think we'll be fine.ballcoach15 wrote: ↑August 6th, 2021, 1:56 pm It appears that FIU shafted JJ.That's the impression Freeze gave in the text of the press conference.
