2017, the most talented WR group ever at Miami???

[RVACane]

No.

1984 Brian Blades
Eddie Brown

Brett Perryman

Most talented wr roster NCAA history. All 4 had at least 1 1000 yard receiving season in NFL plus atleast one pro bowl.

Next 2000 Miami Santana Moss, Reggie Wayne Andre Johnson.

Irvin played from 1985-87.
Perriman never made a probowl.

Good work on this post. I just think that this list has to start with Eddie Brown.

The problem is Eddie Brown left right before the Bomb Squad got there... can't really list this as the best WR corp at the U.

Eddie Brown* WR 30 Rec, 640 Yds, 21.3 Avg
Stanley Shakespeare* WR 34 Rec, 452 Yds, 13.3 Avg
John Smatana WR 11 Rec, 140 Yds, 12.7 Avg
David Kintigh WR 2 Rec, 55 Yds, 27.5 Avg
Kenny Oliver WR 1 Rec, 18 Yds, 18.0 Avg
Lawrence Thompson WR 1 Rec, 12 Yds, 12.0 Avg

Wow, Kenny Oliver was a Senior when I started at Beach High. Either way, we can't call this group the greatest anything until they wind up their U careers and we have a chance to look back and compare.

Let's take a look:

• Ahmmon Richards, 4 Star (Should have been 5)
• Lawrence Cager, 4 Star
• Braxton Berrios, 4 Star (per 247)
• Deejay Dallas, 4 Star
• Dionte Mullins, 4 Star
• Jeff Thomas, 4 Star
• Mike Harley, 4 Star
• Evidence Njoku, 4 Star (per 247)

To me that has the look of perhaps the best WR group (on paper) that I've probably ever seen at Miami. This group could be scary good.

I can't think of a year that collectively had this much WR talent at Miami.

Thoughts?

Tons of potential, still has to be proven on the field. I'm still hurt about Sam Bruce not being on this roster.
