Everyone has such high hopes for Osborne because he was a good recruit, but only good relative to the dogshit WR recruiting we had before that.

Puka and all 3 WR’s we signed this year are better prospects than Osborne was. And Spiker/Bynum already beat him out for playing time.

Not all things were meant to be

This. While it’s frustrating we didn’t see him and Fuller and Baccallia kept their spots, he wasn’t a 5 star recruit like many make it feel like.

He was a low 4 star. Stuff like this will continue to happen. Hopefully it’s just not shitty players in front of them.

He wasn't really a low 4 star, pretty much midrange.

He was a good prospect and someone worth being excited about.

I think it's still way too early to completely right him off, but I feel the same way about Ty.

Look at Bynum, he didn't show anything until the second half of his third year in the program. We have a pretty good track record of the third year in Pete's program being the breakout year for receivers. Jones didn't get the third year because he was hurt, Osbourne didn't hit the third year yet.

This board has a doog boner for Osborne in no small part because of his legendary dad posting here. I admit I hope he stays to get a shot and show what he can do. Assume the new OC will have to re-recruit some guys for this very reason.

The true doog DDY legend is Ty Jones. Like Culp, I’ve seen enough to know he isn’t any damn good, just a physically gifted player who’s soft like Brayden Lenius.

The oft-criticized knock on Ty Jones during his recruitment by guys like Biggins and Huffman was that he should have been better than he was based on his height and speed. He could not get separation from shitty high school dbs and played lazy. That criticism, has strangely continued through his college career.

How did Ty Jones break his hand? Was it in an off-field incident?

Spiker started flashing in the 2nd half of the season.

The top 3 WRs will be Bynum, Puka, and Spiker. Ty Jones could be a graduate transfer but if I'm Osborne, I stick around to see if I can be the #4 WR as a RS-Soph. Not bad.

His entire film was either being open deep or catching a contested jump ball deep. After him, I’ll never tout a WR that doesn’t make plays with the ball in their hands. You gotta do something after the catch.

The strange thing was, Ty Jones high pointed very few balls even when given the opportunity at UW.

He has shown some flashes. I think he is better than lenius but the lack of separation is a real problem. He has always been inconsistent and I am not sure football matters to him all that much.

He is not an all conference level player but I think he can be a contributor if he wants to be. Some tbs’rs were irrationally optimistic about him.

I liked him a lot myself until I actually watched him play for UW. He’s soft and you’re right, he doesn’t get much separation.

Same here. Yards after the catch are critical in my view. If catching the ball and getting tackled were enough on their own, WSU would win the apple cup every year.

As for Osborne...hes a big receiver with pretty good speed and great feet. His HS highlights were impressive.

The receivers all get to start with a clean slate now, I think. Osborne isn't out of it unless he has already committed to a couch sale.
