    It will come down to how much he wants to play with his brother.

    TW already has his degree and has seen his snaps decrease significantly over last yr.
    Why stay?

    The optics aren't great at the moment. Hopefully Gator legacy wins out and he gets some more balls thrown his way.

    I think there's a pretty good chance of having a bigger passing game next year. 2+ years with the same QB and same group. He could very well have a breakout season.

    But as mentioned, go to a pass-happy offense like Leach's and you're pretty much guaranteed a lot of touches.

    If that were the sole deciding factor then every top-flight WR would go to pass-happy offenses, and that's not what happens.

    I think it will come down to how much he wants to play with his brother. Those memories only happen once. He is working on a Master's degree and will have 2 yrs with his brother if he goes MSU.

    I hear it. On the one hand I wouldn't blame him. On the other hand I'd feel like we missed an opportunity.

    Front page offense position report today on Gator Country didn’t even bother to mention TW! It’s like he already left the team. Has he?

    Nothing has been said but it is interesting that the writer didn't bother to talk about him. Incoming recruits got more words than an experienced upper classman.

    Or Henderson and shorter improving and the offense just not running enough plays or pass plays to get out there.

    It is befuddling how a guy who’s flashed in previous years can’t see the field on a WR corp that’s universally considered subpar.

    It's disappointing. Even if he is thinking of transferring, I'm sure he wants to play. I'm sure he wants the ball in his hands.

    I’m sure he does, but he’s not impressing the coaches enough in practice to earn PT for whatever reason.

    I wish that made sense to me. He got touches as a freshman but can't get on the field now?

    What did you not understand or what did you misinterpret? Nothing I said was shocking or unreasonable.

    You misspelled Geez, by the way.

    Sideways passes and a running QB, who needs route runners.

    Nobody on this team would be hard to replace if they left. Even Trent who has 4 receptions this season.
