Zeek 15,381 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 There has been some mixed reporting about Auburn's intentions but it has been my belief that we wanted another receiver even after Shorter's commitment. This visit seems to prove just that. Hooks had 64 receptions, 748 yards, and 10 touchdowns in 2022. He is listed as 6'4" 205 and is originally from Orlando, FL. He is listed as a senior but I'm unclear about what his remaining eligibility is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be a good cultural fit then we find out he isn’t eligible or has some injury stopping us from going all in. I’m at a point if one of two of those questions are a yes , stay clear lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpreacherman22 2,881 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 When I saw him listed at 6’4” 200+ I knew why we lost some interest in a couple of other guys we were looking at. CHF likes those big WRs. Hooks could be a productive rotation guy at AU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks you will detract from that then you'll end up being passed over like Keon was. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUGoo 2,123 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 So how does this work? Did the coaching staff actually say to Hooks, "you're our plan B"? And he sits around and waits? Are they that up front with these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamZero77 1,156 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I haven't really looked into Hooks but the obvious question for me is why didn't he go to Colorado with Deion? With so many players transferring out from Colorado, did Deion not try to bring Hooks with him or does Hooks want to stay closer to home? Just seeing his stats and his size, he looks like a great pickup. Are there other big schools going after him as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have had several WR's pass that we have looked at before bringing him in for a visit and, i'm guessing, subsequent offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 29,707 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Hoping we lock this guy down. Still worried about finding a #1 WR from this group, although, we seem to have a lot of potential and quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
