2022 Transfer WR Agiye Hall

[tokamak 6352]

He's been working on his concentration and his hands. Could play this week or more probably next week vs WVU.

Now was that so fucking hard?

[HtownHorn 14485]

Hopefully Hall can lessen the loss of Neyor moving forward. Him and Thompson probably can only be maximized by Ewers.

Going to be interesting how this offense gels after OU when they should have everyone back except for Neyor.

If Quinn doesn't play tomorrow imma go ahead and get a flower order started..

If he's not active by blowU then I'm digging my black suit out from the depths of the closet and make sure the damn thing still fits.

Maybe you’re right about the RRS being Hall’s coming out game. This is 1 of the paragraphs from today’s IT team Humidor report:

 

Spoiler

When we say we like the game plan, it’s usually with the understanding of who could potentially have a big game. You could see a surprise playmaker on offense, which is what this game has often been about. This player had a strong week of practice.

I heard Jeff Howe say today on the radio show that one of his 3 key matchups was Jordan Whittington vs OU secondary.  If they have similar sources, that could be the one.

Maybe. I always forget that Whittington was a 247 composite 5-star WR recruit coming outta high school because he's never had that breakout 100-reciving yards game. 

Hopefully Quinn returning will allow Whittington to live up to full potential.

Hall is definitely ahead of Omeire & reportedly still recovering from his ACL injuries. No way that quote is about Omeire.

IT is still trying to tell us that Hall could have 5 tds and 600 yards by the end of the season. I don't see it, but I'd like to see him get some tds at the very least to keep him motivated.

Yeah, Gerry said today that Hall's opportunities are better with Quinn at QB.  

Might see a few more 4 WR sets against blOU

This is the game I'm hoping he gets his first td. Sark can dial it up and Ewers can deliver it to him 

[Da Fino 2738]

Is this one over? He got some snaps last game or the game before. Pretty sure he was the only wr dressed that didn’t see the field on this game. Sucks. Would love to keep a big body guy like that.

Jordan was 5-97, pretty, pretty close to 100.  He has been balling out when you include blocking.  Great to see after the long wait.

[6th Street 6357]

Time to unleash Agiye. No more Cain

[tokamak 6352]

Nothing to see here, IMO

[6th Street 6357]

 

 

[Huckleberry 32699]

Yeah how bad must Hall be if Cain continued to get targets after that play?

And for all the message board consternation over the playcall and throw on 4th and 2 that was a pretty easily catchable ball that Cain could have adjusted to. Easy conversion (yes a better throw would have been a touchdown, well maybe, we saw Cain's hands later).

I honestly wonder what the story is there. I am not saying Hall is the answer, but he does bring speed/size combo that defenses have to respect. Just his presence can help open up the field. I know he came with a bad rep, but damn how bad is his attitude?

You have to imagine that they will be giving Hall and Thompson some more snaps moving forward. Cain is not getting it done and we need guys who can put pressure on the defense so they can't triple cover Worthy every play.

Thompson was rated high because he's extremely fast, but he was super raw in HS and needs a lot of development. He's also undersized, so I'd bet he's a terrible blocker right now. He likely needs more time. 

[Hornius Emeritus 12419]

Ironically, the Alabama boards were furious with Hall because of ... wait for it .... dropped passes.

Well, I am kind of curious if he’s ever gonna get the chance to drop on of Quinn’s tosses. 

[Sejjr 3246]

Billingsly is always touted as more of a WR than a pure TE. Maybe it's time to use him in that role rather than trotting Cain out there?

Sounds like what we can expect from Ryan Niblett next season.

[mwaadeeb 1152]

Milton is the one that confuses me. He's looked solid when he's been in there.

I don't want to oversell it, but didn't he make an incredible sideline catch that was key in our drive to send the Tech game into OT? At least that's how I remember it but I ain't going to look for it because fuck tceh.

Yes. It looked super-confident as much as anything, in a clutch moment, when he'd had few snaps. Seems like we'd want our transfers to get snaps to encourage more transfers.

I can't imagine he is going to choose to sit out another full season.

Didn't he also play at like 3-4 different high schools before bouncing from Bama after one season?  That would have to be some kind of record for number of different teams in an amateur career.

I doubt he would have to sit out the season if he transferred. And I doubt that he would want to redshirt this season.

It will be interesting how the 1 free transfer rule is enforced in cases like this or Neyor's where they didn't use their immediate eligibility.

I don't follow the portal stuff as closely as most of you... why would the transfer to Texas not count as his 1 free transfer?  Is it just a question of whether the NCAA(?) actually enforces the rule going forward?  It doesn't feel to me like there were any extenuating circumstances during his time here that would make him likely to be granted some kind of waiver.

Fair.  If we actually show him the door it does make me feel better about the rumored internal confidence that we might have a WR or two identified / queued up in the portal.

The one free transfer is 1 transfer with immediate eligibility.   If he redshirts, he'd say didn't use it.  He basically traditionally transferred, and there isn't a limit on those.  It's just more of how the NCAA is going to rule on a situation like that.  It will certainly be something that's challenged at some point.  He'd argue he still has 1 free transfer with immediate eligibility.  In Hall's case it doesn't really matter because he's the only thing stopping himself from getting on the field.  It's more interesting for Neyor as he could certainly want an upgrade of NIL money.

[kevwun 15643]

As others have said, the NCAA is very likely to lose the case when that transfer eligibility rule is challenged in court.  It's not really enforceable given what has happened over the last few years.

Hardship personal issues for Agiye may also help him transfer and not be required to sit out.

Texas has been trying to help him with his personal and family issues.  Keeping him engaged in attending classes while also getting help thru counseling are probably more important for Hall's well-being right now than anything else.

Agiye has a lot of work to do to salvage his football career.  If he transfers after this season, I'm not sure the NCAA wants to block a young father trying to pursue his dream to make it to the NFL.
