    No doubt that we need a pure #1 on the outside ... we may have a couple on the current roster with Pettis and Lenius ...

    But yes, this is a critical area for future recruiting on the offensive side of the ball as Pete has established that he can get RBs, OL, slot WRs, and TEs on board. Defensive side of the ball seems solid other than some LB recruits that have left a few shaking their heads.

    The guy might turn out to be good. Problem is he likely has no chance to be a #1 gamebreaker WR which is what we really need. Maybe we will get lucky and a few young WR's will be good. It just means we aren't doing so well with the higher rated guys.

    Considering this class and past few years, Pete's UW could be UW in the early Lambo era....good defense, excellent lines, short on WR talent and gamebreakers on offense. String = Jason Shelly?

    Yeah, the issue in my opinion is that you NEVER take B-receivers like this. McClatcher? Fine. That dude has serious quickness. You can see a way forward. Renfro looks really good—Michael Crabtree type kid.

    But Q-Pounds and all that crap? Why? You can move any idiot to WR and have a mediocre WR, you don't need to recruit them.

    What specifically do you hate about this player, or Quinten Pounds for that matter? You seem to be on this kick of whining about how much we suck and how much our recruited players suck but you don't offer any reasons why you don't like their play. The fact is, we're UW. We've sucked for over a decade now. It's not like Petersen has his pick of 6'4'' 4 and 5-star wide receivers who just have to be asked to come here. We're gonna have to take some B-level players, so why does this kid specifically suck compared to other B-level slot receivers? You already tried the speed thing and got your ass handed to you by another poster, so try something else.

    Here's what we know about the kid:
    He scores a ton of TDs
    He catches a ton of balls
    He plays in a legit league
    Wisconsin, Iowa, and BC wanted him. He visited Oklahoma, TCU, and Ok State recently

    He's not amazing, but if you're gonna shit on him, at least back it up with something other than him not being as good as some of the elite receivers in teh west we can't get
    This was basically the standard poast during the Willingham years.

    If you look at the recent production of TCU's WRs over the last 5-10 years ... it's been fairly solid.

    UW would be doing quite well right now to match TCU's level.

    If you replaced Wisconsin, Iowa and BC with Utah St, San Diego St, and Fresno St you'd have a poont.

    It's a fucking WR...aka the LEAST important position on offense.

    Until we have an offensive scheme, a QB, and an OL, it doesn't fucking matter.
    I don't know, Wisconsin maybe, but Iowa and BC isn't really receiver central.

    Except for the fact we're wasting scholarships.

    You make a good poont re: Wiscy and Iowa instead of SDSU... I mean, we are on a different level than the Ty years. It's just the same type of poont, only we're not recruiting guys ABSOLUTELY no one wants, we're recruiting guys that schools who have no access to decent WRs within their state boundaries want because they're desperate.

    Fair?

    I loved Pettis right away. No joke.

    I thought he was fantastic. I had a similar reaction to Pettis and Steve Frank, "kid is an overlooked baller". Pettis just knows how to play football. Not outstanding physical characteristics, but jumped out on film.
