    You think Mario was better than Stan Empterman??
    I didn't know Stan was eligible

    I didn't know Stan was eligible
    If my memory serves he finished fourth, second most first place votes. Can't remember if he got invited to New York but I want to say he did.

    @HeretoBeatmyChest you still like our WRs? Lenius developing into a #1?

    The WRs should have been better. Mickens had the talent of a #1 but coaching never got through to him. Lenius and Pettis did not make the big leap from year 1 to 2 that many good freshman do.

    I can fix your receiver problem. I'm tanned, rested, and ready

    Very intrigued in what you're talking about here. Those are some big numbers for a true freshman WR. I think Marcel Reece was 6'2" (UW listed him at 6'3" but the Raiders list him at 6'2") and 240 as a Junior or Senior. This Jones kid probably puts on another 5-15 pounds over the next couple of years and will be in that Reece range. Have you seen him play?

    A deep sleeper is Jamon Jones....a 6'2" 227 lbs preferred walk-on who redshirted in 2015. He was a QB in high school, was also a track guy (high jump, long jump and triple jump...sprints and hurdle too), and also was a 2nd team All-League basketball player. If that doesn't scream potential for vertiginously loose hips, I don't know what does.

    I remember the good old days when coaches like Sark and Slick got us 10-15 WRs per class....

    I remember seeing Jones at one of the practices I attended and being impressed by his size. Then I watched him try to catch passes. Stone-hands Mickens puts his hands to shame.

    Maybe he all of a sudden learned how to catch a football, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

    Heard a rumor that Dylan Crawford will be visiting next weekend

    Heard a rumor that Dylan Crawford will be visiting next weekend

    After hearing about Eddie McDoom, I can see this rumor actually materializing.



    Then he RTs:

    Not to mention this cryptic tweet:

    Michigan is also bringing another WR in for an official visit this weekend and Michigan is in his final 2.

    The entire "Long is a lock to Michigan" contingent on this bored has cited Crawford's commitment as a impetus for David Long choosing Ann Arbor.

    This wide receiver development doesn't really feel like Harbaugh is really prioritizing Crawford. He's found a new toy. Time to sell the couch.

    It's certainly good news for UW if Crawford does in fact visit this weekend. We need WR help badly.

    Fetters WDWHA'd Taylor Mays because he wasn't "tuff" enough for safety. Mays was about 5 times the safety anybody we? had on our? roster was back then.

    The LPT evaluating tuffness is almost as funny as them evaluating athleticism.
    I think it is just a way for them to.
