Hopkins, Bryant, Watkins, Peake. Tall wrs and at lest 2 of them can absolutley fly. Tajh has got to be able to deliver the ball bc these guys should be open often.

Love these guys' work ethic. All the guys coming in and already here, for that matter, seem to understand that to be the best it takes working harder than everyone else at everything. I think we are building a team and coaching staff of winners. Keep up the hard work Martavis and it will pay off for you.

wasn't he about 6-3,DH? Think his 40 was listed at 4.5,but man.Did anyone catch him from behind?Very deceptive speed eh.
When talking about bigger receivers with good speed, another one that comes to mind for me is Gary Cooper in the late 80s.How good was he on those reverses.

Will celebrate when someone sees him in a desk in class

While he is EXACTLY the type of player we need on the field on Saturdays this fall, he still has a lot of baggage he's trying to put behind him. I certainly hope that he is not the second coming of Roscoe Crosby, who was unfairly labeled as the 'answer' and could not handle the pressure of football & personal issues. I hope that the football staff puts a grad assistant with him to make sure he can succeed at Clemson.

He's moving in this weekend and enrolling next week. He's in. Now, if he does his classwork and keeps his grades up.... That's another thing.

The only thing he could be talking about is academics. We do a really good job with side of the student-athlete equation, though. He'll be fine and he'll be a beast of a WR.

It doesn't matter what happens here somebody will always find fault. If grades is what he's talking about I don't think thats alot of baggage.

Especially when you consider the grades thing was more of a mix-up than a performance issue. ######, his SAT score went up so much the clearinghouse threw it out and made him take it again. The kid has been exactly what you want: a true commit who took adversity in stride and overcame. He's gonna be a great Tiger!

Of course grades

[ in reply to Re: Will celebrate when someone sees him in a desk in class ] |

If you struggle to keep up your grades in SC, then you've got issues...if you go to a Football Daycare and still have to scramble to the last day (and still not make it on time), then I say you have issues. Perhaps he's just lazy or didn't care in HS or perhaps he has a learning disability---in any situation, I hope he's got it figured out and is a star at Clemson.

I'm going to assume you don't know Martavis's story.
Jun 24, 2011, 9:02 AM

It wasn't an issue with his GPA, it was a transcript matter. The clearinghouse approved him last year, but too late for him to enroll. We went prep. The delay this year was disbelief over his SAT score. He had to take it again to prove it was legit. The kid will be fine AND a beast on the field.

It is somewhat similar to what you shared, but also to what I shared. It doesn't matter the past, but only the future and he will be in control of his own destiny. I hope the best for him and the Tigers.

CJ Spiller like juke at 2:48 was pretty nice...
Jun 24, 2011, 12:11 AM

He's got great speed, but showed a few times in the highlight reel that he can stop on a dime and accelerate out of it too!
More than that, I love this quote: "But I'm not going to back down from anybody. We'll see what happens on the field".

luv this guys tape!!!!!his transitions from catching the ball to making his move n heading upfield is something i havent seen in a clemson receiver...derrick hamilton wouldve been the closest...tavis is tenacious with speed to burn, and his strides are a thing of beauty... looks like a special player to me, hopefully he keeps his head on straight and stays in school dude could be epic

He might be another Damarius Thomas, the receiver GT used so effectively. Same size and same speed. I like it. We saw last year against the coots what a great receiver can do. I hate to admit it, but Jefferies just about single handedly beat us. It's our time to soar.

like Thomas or Jeffries yet. I consider each of them NFL players still in college. Only time will tell.

6'5", 200 lbs and blazing speed doesn't put him in the same category? Really?

Thomas is in the NFL.
Jul 5, 2011, 5:27 PM

And according to rivals Jeffery was 6'3" 214 lbs running a 4.5 out of high school.
I think Bryant will come through just fine.
