How good is Walley?

[Hump4Hoops]

I hope we see a lot of him the games and seasons to come.

 

[M R DAWGS]

Eric Moulds’ catch late in the game was awesome.

He’s very good.

 

[oxfordrebel22]

He’s special

 

[Coast_Dawg]

Walley should be the outlet on every play. He eventually got at least two steps on every defender covering him. Granted, QB can’t hold onto the ball for 5+ seconds most plays but anytime he can, Walley was open.

 

[patdog]

He's very, very, very good. Should break every receiving record we have before he's done.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Right now he is our best WR. I hope he leaves MSU as an all time great.

 

[hatfieldms]

He is fantastic. Still not sure how he held on to that one handed catch

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

#4 Heath is a player too.

 

[MSUDC11]

He is the best looking freshman receiver we’ve had since Chad Bumphis, if not longer. And he will probably break quite a few of our school records.

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

Hope he sticks around and we get 2 more just like him to come in next year.

 

[ServiceDogg]

It hasn't always showed in our games, but this year we have been blessed with some very talented receivers.
Heath and Walley are awesome. I really wish Tyrell Shavers had stuck around too.
Now that Will Rogers seems to be more comfortable, I would have loved to see what he could have done with Shavers, Heath, Walley, and one of the other guys in the starting receiver rotation.

Shavers was the transfer from Bama? I was thinking about him during the game, if only he had stuck around.

 

[thatsbaseball]

He's special and the best we've had in quite a while IMO.

 

[ServiceDogg]

Yeah Shavers was the 6'6" transfer WR from Bama. Big, strong, and fast.
The few times that you got to see him with the ball in his hands, you could definitely see the dude is talented.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Forgive me, but why did he quit? Was he a malcontent or was it related to covid concerns?

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Rumor was Shavers had Moultree knee.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

I hope we see a lot of him the games and seasons to come.

Can't be any good. We don't have ANY receivers.***

 

[horshack.sixpack]

shocked that you would bring negativity to a positive thread***

 

[shotgunDawg]

He's very, very, very good. Should break every receiving record THE SEC has before he's done.

FIFY

I think longer. Without checking, I would guess Bumphis had a more productive and consistent freshman year, but I don't remember him showing the flashes that Walley has shown.

Take this with a grain of salt because the offenses that Bumphis and Walley played in were extremely different, but since you mentioned it I had to check for myself:

Walley 2020 (so far): 8 games, 35 catches, 462 yards, 1 TD, 13.2 YPC
Bumphis 2009: 12 games, 32 catches, 375 yards, 4 TD, 11.7 YPC

We use them differently but the production is pretty similar to this point. Obviously Walley has a chance to get up close to 700 or so yards if he has a couple of more big games and that would make him by far our most productive freshman receiver ever.

Wow, that is much less production than I was expecting from Bumphis. I knew we didn't have much offense outside of Boobie that year (until Relf got into the egg bowl), but I was thinking he got more yards and catches than that. I guess I was also paying a lot more attention then, whereas I ahve checked out at times this season.

We'll be calling the endzone "Walley World" by the time he leaves
