How good can he be next year in Cincinnati's pass happy offense?









If he can still play like he did his soph. year at USC (50 receptions) I won't be surprised if he gets the #1 receiver nod ahead of Binns and Woods.

He will be very tough. One of the top WR recruits in the country when he came out.

Why did he leave USC?

I think he was home sick, and wanted to be closer to home. . . which is Pennsylvania I think. Not positive on that. . . so if someone knows for sure, please correct me.

Hazelton grew up and played HS football on Staten Island, NY. However, he also lived with his grandfather in Georgia for a spell. His granfather became ill, his playing time at USC faded, thus he decided to transfer back to the east coast.

From everything I've heard, Hazelton was by far the most impressive of all of UC's receivers in the pre-season (UC goes up to a camp for a few weeks prior of the season) including Mardy Gilyard. You UC haters are going to go bananna's when UC puts up similar or even bettter results next year along with a more experienced defense.

Thanks for the info!

Little Danny, I just wanted to add that Hazeltons playing time faded due to an ankle injury in the first game of his junior year. The next guy took his place and did a good job so once Hazelton was healthy they didn't need him anymore.

Yeah Cincy's offense will be stout AGAIN next year. So the argument "well, Kelly should leave now because the cupboard will be bare" holds no water.

He has a ton of talent due to come back on both sides of the ball.
