Non bias opinion

[Themadcane]

JJ--the playmaker potential
Thomas--santana moss potential
Smith-- brett perriman potential

I take them in that order

Thomas > Jeudy >>> Smith

Yep. Thomas is facking beast. His cuts are lethal, he literally slow baits a defender, cuts and is 5 yards up the field before they can move

Jeudy is far and away the best WR in country. I like Thomas, and was an outstanding pick up for us though. But, don't get carried away here.

Film doesn't lie.

UA practice film, game film, and UA practice reports from analysts watching him makes a case for Thomas being the best. We have one of the fastest receivers in the country, a developed route runner, can score whenever he touches the ball, and most importantly can catch.

@tpres The real question that should be asked is what do Smith and Juedy have over Thomas? Height? If Thomas was 6'0" with no academic issues, he'd probably be a top 10 player and number 1 receiver in the country. Dude is too hard to cover.

Aside from his Hudl highlights and the aforementioned UA reports, have you seen his camp film? Unbelievable!!! No corner was able to cover him at The Opening and camp circuit.

Check at 1:08, 2:40, 4:02, and 5:12

Simply put, he's too hard to cover

End thread. Dude is the #5 wr on scout, #6 on 247 and #8 on ESPN and Rivals. That's with grade concerns and being short. He made Juedy non existent in the UA game, Deion Sanders was screaming for his dbs to double cover him literally before the first TD. So what happens next, he makes the best dbs in the nation look silly again.

Love Thomas, but the best receiver we've gotten in years - to this point - is named Ahmmon Richards.

Love that 4:02 mark, where he just burns Surtain Jr.

Non biased opinion? As pure wide receivers I would rank them:

1. Jeudy
2. Smith
3. Thomas

But, we already have Richards as the #1 WR, so for Miami...the list changes from "Whose the best WR" to "Who can give us what we need".
I think we all can agree that right now our offense has a "Need for Speed". We also need a spark in the special teams (Hopefully Richt doesn't throw another Malcolm Lewis at Return Specialist). When you factor in the needs of the offense, and team as a whole, the list can be flipped.

Fastest, most dynamic player who can be a threat if he touches the ball would be:

1. Thomas
2. Smith
3. Jeudy

How you rank them solely depends on what you're asking.

Who would I rather have for this current Miami offense?

Thomas > Jeudy > Smith

Who would I rather have in this recruiting class?

Jeudy, because when it's all said and done, this trend of south florida WR's thinking that "all the best ones go to Bama" need to stop. Getting Jeudy (knowing how bad Saban wanted him) would have been huge for now and the long run IMO.

As somebody who argued against using Corn on KR/PR I think we've now got enough talent to start putting some talent in those positions. I don't think berries deserved half the crap he got, but it's time to put a dude out there who's a legit threat every time.
