WR transfer
Heard rumors of a WR transfer we may be getting anything to it?
-
TSUN receivers jumping ship***
-
Ari Gold mentioned this possibility a few days ago in the recruiting thread. No idea if you guys are talking about the same person.

Coach,
Who & what is most to blame for our current WR situation?
When we got Bear & Fred, I really thought we were headed in the right direction at that position, but it's incredible how bad our personnel is at that position.
To make matters more interesting, Oklahoma State, who recruits near the same level we do, currently has the best receiving core in the country. How does Oklahoma State attract these guys & we can't?

Well, the coach who was responsible for bagging Fred, was only here for 1 year.

I thought Brewster's role in signing Fred was more legend than fact - that it was more Les Koenning and a family connection that got Fred on board.

Brewster helped but Koenning closed that signature

Hmm....I vaguely remember that, now that you say it.

Correct. Brewster had a bigger hand in getting Gray, from my understanding.

Actually it was Vic Schaefer, Fred's aunt was on his staff here. Fred used to play basketball with the Schaefer kids. Vic told Mullen about Fred.

I don't think he factors in like you think he does.
We recruit better than Oklahoma State at most other positions on the field, so it's odd to me when they happen to recruit dramatically better at one position.

Well, they're apparently recruiting and developing WR better than every other program in the country, too, so it may be more a sign that they are extremely good at it than that we are extremely bad at it.
They also air it out like crazy and are known for good QB play and great WR play. That is a huge help in recruiting the next batch.

I was being halfway serious.

Whatever the problem is, it spans multiple coaching staffs. We haven't had a WR drafted in 21 years. And it could easily be 22 if no one takes a late round flyer on Ross. For all the talk about lack of OL draftees, this fact gets conveniently ignored.

Good point. Hadn't thought of that.

In all fairness though, until recent years, we did not run an offense or have a QB that would attract great receivers.

Isn't Oklahoma St. the school we snatched Ross from as he was originally committed to them?

Yes and it shows what type of talent he had since he is basically leaving with almost every receiving record at MSU. He did benefit from Dak though.
