That's a shortsighted way of looking at it.Pass on leaving the talent-rich state of Florida to take some kid we beat out Hawaii and Fresno St for.
Unfortunately we had a WR corch that couldn't recruit locally so we missed out on just about every local prospect we could've had.
And Idk if you knew this but Hawaii had 3 WR's in the top 10, Cedrid Byrd had 98rec 1,097yds 10TD's, Jason Matthew-Sharsh had 87rec 913yds 5TD & Jared Smart has 87rec 1,129yds & 5TD's, plus the 3rd leading passer in college football & won 10 games this season. Wazzu had two WR's in the top 20 in receptions & yards, and Lashlee had James Proche leading the nation in receptions.
Wazzu & Hawaii play a high passing attempt Air Raid/Run & Shoot style offense that requires speedy route runner WR's & are always highly productive, and Lashlee running that Power Spread/Air Raid at SMU had highly productive WR's as well. Not a single one of them were 4-stars in HS but every one of them put up 80-100 catch season with over a 1,000yds.
Nick Rolovich & Mike Leach know two things well, WR's & QB's, if Lash worked to get him given how bad we need depth at WR there shouldn't be an issue with this take.
He'll come in more polished & ready to play that Daz Worsham I can bet that.
