WR Sharod Johnson transferring to FIU

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[SUforme]

305 yards in a not very good group of WR in general. Shows the lack of recruiting/development of players.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

He was just never reliable.

Of the Johnsons, losing Nykiem last year probably hurt more.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Interesting that he thinks Devaughn Cooper is back. I thought he was out of eligibility, but he wasn't mentioned as a graduating senior.

It’s never a good situation when you lose your Johnson.

Hoping he got his Cuse degree and good luck moving forward Sharod!

 

[phil77]

OK

He's being called a "grad transfer".

Looks like he gradded.

He does have another year, think he got a Med redshirt or something along the way.

Didn’t know cooper had another year.

Arizona:
2016: Injured in training camp and redshirted
2017: Played
2018: Played

UTEP
2019: Redshirted (Played 4 games)
2020: Played (Covid)

Syracuse:
2021: Played
2022: ???

I guess if he was granted a waiver because his injury in 2016 was pre-season, then we're good to go.

But what if you lose your Johnson in the portal…hmmm…

Seeing that breakdown, presumably the 2019 season he had to sit out as a transfer. And if 2020 is a wash due to COVID, then he's only played 3 seasons that count -- two at Arizona, and 1 at Syracuse.

Which would give him 1 year of eligibility remaining.

Ya I would agree, there was likely another waiver, might have been for the 2019 season. The Rutgers lax goalie got something similar recently.

He actually played in the first four games of 2019 before suffering a season-ending injury.

His whole career at UTEP doesn't count.

If Cooper is back, I think it might be better to play Jackson outside. That is depending on whether or not a get a portal WR and also whether or not a few young guys emerge in the Spring. Pena and Cooper showed something last year. Would hate to see them buried behind Jackson while our other WRs do nothing.

BTW will we really have 16 WRs on roster next year? What kind of roster management is that?

I count 10 scholarship wide receivers with 1 committed recruit

I'm assuming that Cooper will get a scholarship next season.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Good luck to him.

Looks like we have a bunch of walk ons there so 11 isn't that much. Glass half full 8 of those guys will be Soph or Frosh. That bodes well for the future. But not so much for next season. How do we have only 3 upperclassmen, and ones that will not be major contributors?

With a good OC and a passing QB we should be in good shape for 2023. Same can be said about the D. Wonder who will be coaching them.
