This WR1 talk from the portal is starting to smell like bravo sierra.
Cant see a top p4 program letting their number 1 guy go.

They’re riding with Daniels and
Moore on the outside. Window closes in 4 days.

Nothing to add to your post. But I just realized that’s Jim Jones in your avatar. Hats off to you- well done!

The only way to get experience is to play younger guys. Even if we take this guy we need to heavily rotate this year or we will always say, “we need experience”

In all sports you need a veteran presence. We have Daniels and Ray Ray and the rest played sparingly or not all all. We need some experience in the room to help groom. Fans tend to think every guy that comes in has to start and not realize there are role players.

We could possibly have a SR, SO and FR and a SO TE...we are extremely young. U need that veteran presence around.

I agree that you need vets. However, if the vets aren’t clearly better than the younger players, you play the younger guys. At minimum, you split the reps. As someone, who personally entered P4 as a freshman and immediately contributed at a high level, I know firsthand that it isn’t impossible.

Realistically, the way our team is built we should be a run first operation this year. Beck is coming off injuries and, we have a young receiving core. Our Oline is built to overpower teams. Run the ball and build the passing attack over the course of the season.

And who said this guy was coming in to start? The point is a veteran presence in the room to show them how to adjust as the vet has seen more games.

I think fans tend to conflate a veteran depth piece as a guy coming together start.

U will know who is coming to start based on the level of the player transferring in.

Like the RB isn’t coming to start. He is a depth piece. We aren’t bringing in a #2 or #3 WR to start or take minutes. We just don’t want a drop off behind the young guy.

I said that I agree you need vets. But to act like vets don’t expect to play is crazy. “Hey we really want you to come here to mentor our younger players and essentially be a coach off the field. Playing time… we’ll see about that”

Who said they wont play? U acting ike they coming to start and take major minutes and that is not the case. Toney just sent Carr packing and Ray Ray to #2.

U really think they gonna come bring in someone to take away his snaps or be of service? We could of kept Ny for that

The first thing I said is if we take these guys we need to rotate heavily lol i feel like we’re talking in circles here.

The point is simple. take a couple of vets but We need to play our younger WR’s so that they can get experience and be ready to take the torch next year.
