alright, put the bitterness aside. he has made plays on the field and that is great and fine with me.
JJ's system calls for all recievers to be on the same page as the QB, Haynes does his own thing at times and that affects the QB and line protection schemes. 1/4 of the routes he has run have been breakoffs and not RnS routes. The only thing holding him back is his willingness to come on board and buy in the system completely. JJ must like him to have giving him playing time in two games with his goofy reads. JJ is giving Haynes opportunity to better himself. a few big plays here in there and inconsistency is what we have now, that needs to change. for those of you with background at UH, think Ian Sample.

While a bit of an overstatement,
I still stand by it, I think JJ was into the whole hoosiers approach of "tearing it down to build it back up", and it may work in the long run, but I am convinced that he favored his own recruits in some places over talent.

That's not the case WRT this thread. Wilkerson and Haynes were both 2007 recruits. They were both Redshirted last season. For whatever reason, Wilkerson is higher on the Depth Chart than Haynes. It could be many reasons, but favoring his own recruits isn't one of them.
Now, in a thread about Beasly starting... maybe. I have high hopes for Haynes, Sanders won't be around for ever and we could use a dose of tall at the position.

Sorry for the confusion, you are right, I was more addressing the issue as to why Haynes is sitting, not why Wilkerson is starting...and since you said it and not me.....
No way that Cole should be ahead of Haynes, and I think the reason is that he wanted his recruit on the field, so either Haynes or Wilkerson has to sit, even though they both should be out there as much as possible, IMO.

I don't think it's too fine a point to mention that Cole doesn't play ahead of Haynes. He plays next to him. As in, a different position. While I believe (and hey, I'm not a coach, or an expert of any degree) that while the two outside receivers can be more or less interchanged, and the slot receivers can be interchanged, it's not so simple to move an outside receiver into the slot or vice versa.
In that sense, Beasley has beaten out Jsoh Bryant, not Wilkerson or Haynes.
