You realize the requirement to be "more physical than Osirus" isn't what you're making it sound like, right?
You can take the wait and see approach but just going off his physical stature, yeah I'm gonna side with he's more physical than Osirus.

All I'm saying is if Shavers last 2 seasons he had catches like these we'd be talking about him as a 1st rd draft pick. I think Osirus will he the #1 guy & it won't be close. He just needs those targets.

He's definitely faster. Is he more agile? Stronger? Jump higher?
Those are the questions we don't know yet. If the coaching staff can turn that potential into production with Shavers, Heath, & Tulu then we're cooking with grease. Those are the 3 most naturally talented kids on the roster.
By physical stature, I mean just their appearance and muscle mass. They can be similar height and weight but look at the 2 of them and you can't tell me they look like they have the same muscular build.
We can agree to disagree here. But going off their muscular build, Shavers looks more solid to me than Osirus does which leads me to believe he will be a more physical WR.
He's more athletic, twitchy, & explosive than Mitchell. That's fairly easy to see on video.
However, Mitchell may have more body control & ball skills. We'll see.
To me there is no point in comparing them. They aren't competing against each other. Hopefully they both end up with 70 catches
And I'm not saying one is better than the other. That isn't what IYOK and me were discussing back and forth. It was strictly about who would be more "physical" as in jump balls and stuff like that.
I still think Osirus will have a hell of a year and will probably lead us in yards. I'm not comparing them together overall whatsoever. Just that 1 aspect of their game.
Regardless, they're 2 tall, rangy WR's that I think will both have very solid seasons in the air raid.
That catch Osiris made @ Arky last year was impressive.
Osiris is my breakout candidate. If he can put together good tape and stats, he's got a shot at the NFL.
That highlight video has me excited on Mitchell.
Guy I know that has Bama season tickets said this same thing to me last night. Said there just wasn't room and that they are bringing in so much talent at WR that talented guys like Shavers just don't get enough reps to be happy. Last year no chance to break through with the talent they had. But he said this year with Waddle and DeVonta, Shavers best case is still only 3rd most receptions. But with the other talent they have he's probably going to be fighting for 4th or 5th most receptions.
Said he hated to see him go but there just wasn't enough room for all those WRs to get catches and understood him leaving.
I'm coming around on this transfer portal.
We'll certainly lose some guys, but we are entering the greatest era of college football talent distribution in the history of the sport.
We just need to play our cards right & we'll be fielding the most talented teams in our history soon
