We literally signed 2 top 100 WR's last recruiting cycle. What are you talking about?This is the one that concerns me most.
Still, still having difficulty landing, and or
keeping premier WR AND RB talent, relative to our record and offensive production historically.
Gotta hang on to this guy, absolute difference maker.
I could be thinking of the wrong guy, but I'm pretty sure AP said earlier on in the week he's going pretty much just to watch the game. Sometimes kids go on visits just because it's a big game. Again, I'm not really worriedYes, edited after going back and seeing final 247 rankings. Either way, kid is a stud.
Who knows maybe he's going down there to see us?
We’ve not had any trouble landing WR talent ranked even higher than Smith
They have def been disappointing relative to the preseason hype. They were billed as some great WR unit the entire offseason and they clearly are not.Cunningham, Ffrench, Jefferson, Wingo, Williams, and Coleman come to mind.
Again, happy with what we did get. Specifically Wingo and Williams come to mind which I believe we were high up their lists.
To me WR has been a disappointment this year relative to the pre season hype. Seeing what those two have been able to do is impressive.
Ole Miss, Texas, and even Mizzou have really solid WR's. Its impressive to see. Makes their QB's jobs easier.

I’ve had issues with this group since last year. There’s just no one that’s a complete guy that’s ready on this team currently. Bru is about the most dependable guy. The others are consistently inconsistent.They have def been disappointing relative to the preseason hype. They were billed as some great WR unit the entire offseason and they clearly are not.
I did the top 4 receivers at each school and added their receiving yards together…here’s how each school placed in the SEC (I did NOT include TEs)A fully healthy Thornton this year likely has better numbers than any Mizzou WR. Mizzou’s 3rd WR has 235 yards. We have 4 WRs with more yards.
Wease has 552 yards and 3 TDs (13.5 avg)
Burden has 505 yards and 4 TDs (11.2 avg)
Thornton has 505 yards and 4 TDs (25.3 avg).
Texas best WR is a TE.
Looks like there are tiers and we are on the third tier with the 5-11 teams. It's not what we are use to but I think we have seen tangible improvements in the last 8 quarters Nico has played. We have managed to win games as he has grown as a player which is a good sign.I did the top 4 receivers at each school and added their receiving yards together…here’s how each school placed in the SEC (I did NOT include TEs)
We are 10th….that’s very ******. Yes a healthy Thornton would bump us up a couple spots, but the other side to that argument is, if he wasn’t here, our unit would place even lower, which again sucks. Having one receiver be our saving grace isn’t a recipe for success.

That’s a fair point, our unit, offense, etc. as a whole has been clicking more the last couple games.Looks like there are tiers and we are on the third tier with the 5-11 teams.

And I totally agree. Like I said in a previous post, the offense had been clicking a lot better the last couple games. I’ll be curious to see where we end up.Agree but also how many downfield passes has Heup schemed up that Nico missed this season that would’ve been big yards? The WR numbers aren’t all on the WRs.
Some of that is attributable to Dsamp.I did the top 4 receivers at each school and added their receiving yards together…here’s how each school placed in the SEC (I did NOT include TEs)

That was my earlier point. Nico's accuracy on long balls has left a bit to be desired. He probably only hits on 20% of throws that travel over 20 yds in the air. But then of that 20%, our WRs drop several that hit them in the hands.Agree but also how many downfield passes has Heup schemed up that Nico missed this season that would’ve been big yards? The WR numbers aren’t all on the WRs.
How many of those passes did Nico put on the damn money and they dropped them ? Two hands should be a catch. Slowing down on routes is also on the WR. It's a wash all things considered but don't put the lack of numbers just on the man.Agree but also how many downfield passes has Heup schemed up that Nico missed this season that would’ve been big yards?

Some of it’s Nico, some of it is the Oline not giving time but there’s been a lot of drops as well. Would be interesting to see how many drops we’ve had in comparison to other teams.Agree but also how many downfield passes has Heup schemed up that Nico missed this season that would’ve been big yards?
