    Why not Alex Cook to replace JRoss next year? Not saying his level of production, but his ability to stretch the field and demand attention.

    By no means am I an expert, but I think he will emerge as the best of the WR class. He's the real deal. He just plays faster than the other guys. Don't get me wrong - I like Jones and Bynum too.

    I think Jones is the most different than from what we already have on the roster. Of course Jones isn't quite as fast as Cook, but he has great long speed for a 6'4" WR. Lenius might be a solid traditional "Go up and Get 'em" type WR, but Jones will allow us to have more versatility with our looks, in my opinion.

    Cook looks like a RB out there, so he might get split out wide for bubble-screens early potentially.

    I like while Bynum might be the most polished in terms of route-running early, I think he ends up as a slot-guy and we seem to have a bunch of guys in a similar mold to him, even if they don't quite have his ceiling.

    WR is definitely a position I Really don't mind playing as a true freshman, but it will be fun to watch unfold.
    I think we are approaching it the same way, just have a different opinion. For me...

    Jones = Lenius (this feels awful typing out...he will obviously be better)
    Bynum = Fuller
    Cook = ?????

    I just don't see anybody on the roster that can match Cook's combo of playing speed, size, vision and physicality. Fully recognize I'm alone on this...but feel pretty strong that this will be the guy that ends up being the best of the bunch.

    Out of curiosity...who was everyone's fave out of the Daniels/Stringfellow/Ross trifecta a few years ago?

    I like Cook because his offers are great and the TBS sites love him and mostly because my negro DDY loves him, but of the maybe ten kids film I watched this year (all UW commits at one point) he and Weddington were the ones where I was like "huh, not sure what the fuss is about".

    I'm sure Cook will be great because I suck as a TBS'er, but my expectations for him are by far lower than the other two WRs (and Black Beast).

    Cook might have a different general skillset than other WRs, but in terms of his role I don't think he's necessarily alone on this team.

    I totally disagree on the Jones = Lenius comp. Outside of their size they do a lot of things differently. There's a reason Jones got a late OSU offer.

    Just think of it this way. Chico has a general skillset closest to Ross, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be in the same role Ross had on this team.

    You are not alone.

    @chuck likes Cook as one of the best recruits in the whole class.

    Tough call between Ross and String. I never really liked Daniels.

    Stringfellow wiff a bullet. I thought Ross was way overhyped, I wanted to love Daniels but the ball skills question was pretty strong, String seemed like the total package. I was dooging hard over him after the UCLA game.
