Weird that someone mentioned Jerry Rice but not in response to this.
All time receiving yardage in the NFL
#1 Jerry Rice - Mississippi Valley State
#2 Isaac Bruce - Memphis
#3 Terrell Owens - Tennessee Chattanooga
#6 Randy Moss - Marshall
I'm guessing these guys weren't exactly highly recruited. If they were, they picked some weird ass schools.

Well that clears that up. I didn't know how big of a recruit he was. I was under the impression that since he went to Marshall, that he somehow was under the radar.
Moss was slated to go to FSU until he got kicked out of high school for fighting or something like that and they pulled his scholarship along with other top programs. He was a top 5 recruit in the Nation.

If someone straight out of high school has "randy moss type talent" he should be a consenus top 20 recruit. That's my point. I'm not saying he can't be the next Randy Moss.
Neither are you or you wouldn't be confused.
You are amazingly dense.
He questioned how a player as talented as Hunter wasn't a top 20 recruit by recruiting services.
You then went on to post a list of the top 3 WRs in either yardage or receptions. They all went to small schools. Adding Moss, who managed to get kicked out of two prestigious football schools, really didn't help your argument.

well, now Charlie has set fans expectations way up there....![]()
Most of that conceived dominance was because of the conference(i.e level of competition) he played in. After Moss made his rounds through D-1 and ended up getting kicked out of FSU(which BTW, at that time was no easy feat), when he dropped to Division 1-AA, he was a man among boys. SEC caliber playing in a lower division. Chad Pennington(who probably could have played at Tennessee if not for a certain high profile qb) made him look better sometimes too. Of course, then again, he returned that favor several times over.
