Sammy just uses an old pair of nail clippers and Jergens hand lotion.

I'd say equal. I remember Sammy dropping 2 passes and Nuk

dropping 1 pass that they should've caught. (Sammy's being the game changer at SCar)
Pretty unbelievable hands. Both made some ridiculous catches.

I'd say Nuke. If it's near him, he's catching it, whether he's blanketed or not. Sammy does a better job of creating separation and making himself an open target.
I can think of a ton of catches Nuke has made (GT, 2010 one-handed catch; Auburn, 2011 first touchdown; Maryland, 2011 full-extension touchdown and some others) where he was covered pretty well, but was still able to ###### the ball out of the air.

I saw Nuk make Sammy's patented 'double move,'...

on one of the T-Net videos. I think it was one of the first published here. He looked scary good.
I expect Nuk to get open as often as Sammy for two reasons. Sammy will draw a crowd downfield and Nuk will often be Tajh's second check down. If Sammy goes deep and our line doesn't hold well Nuk's short routes will develop much sooner and Tajh will know where he is without looking.
It will be a choice of poison for our opponents.

J Brown should have been added to this comparison. He has some pretty good hands himself. And I think he just bites his nails.

I would give the slight edge to Nuk due to his fewer drops,

but to watch those two NASTY TD grabs by Sammy at Maryland was just plain SICK! I mean, he was in mid air, turning around and knowing he was coming down hard with a CB/safety all over him. He not only holds on but gets feet inbounds. If Taj has time this year this could end up being a freak show.

he's a possession receiver, but sammy has the big play ability. I expect to see nuk blow up this year! Sammy just caught everybody off guard last year...not saying he's not good because he is one of the top receivers in the nation. Including nuk

Sammy..
I may be alone in this but imo its sammy..
Now neither of them have drops so that isn't an issue. Sammy had one all year his true freshman year.
I think Sammy snatches the ball out of the air better and and its effortless in not stopping to catch the ball. He is seamless in his transition whereas nuk sometimes has to adjust more with his body in order to catch the ball..
