I am sick of people saying toliver has not yet lived up to his potential. Two years ago the guy was a true freshman behind lafell and doucet. great recipe for a breakout year, right? what about last year? you mean the year that our supposed starting qb got kicked off the team and a REDSHIRT FRESHMAN was behind center for the bulk of the year? it's not toliver's fault that lee locked into lafell and had to step into a starting spot he was not ready for. with lafell drawing the double coverage this year, i look for toliver to be at least 2nd team all sec.

Usually five stars shine by their sophmore year. If not their freshman year.

Yeah man....he should definitly be first team. He's better than AJ Green, Julio Jones, and Brandon Lafell for sure.

not sure if it's true, I've heard TT had some issues adapting his first couple of years, but Porter has taken him under his wing and he appears to be finding his way...

Toliver hasn't lived upto expectations but I think there's a good reason coaches and fans haven't given up on him yet.

When he does play well, he looks like a big, physical receiver. Makes tough catches, sometimes in traffic and gets the tough extra yards. Consistency is his problem and everyone is hoping he'll work through it.

I can see how he was a 5 star recruit.

I'm a guy that's really big into developing talent, but he was supposed to be coming in very close to being ready to play. He's had some issues learning the system which led him to bench duty, but hopefully he'll play like his high school rating was.

Just FYI, Toliver's numbers his first two years are pretty damn close to Early Doucet's.

Two words: Lafell, Byrd. Both superstars in front of him.

i've said several times that i believe toliver will be a very important player this season. the talent is there i just hope he develops mentally and learns that talent alone is not gonna necessarily lead to being great.
