    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 don't really agree with the move to bring in a transfer.

    You get a one year merc who will take valuable experience from young guys like Todd and Couch. What does it say about our recruiting and coaching if a guy can come in and beat out all our guys with just one summer and fall camp? Usually transfers don't really help that much anyway.

    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.

    Depends on whether or not it's a grad transfer. A regular transfer wouldnt be able to play this year anyway.

    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.

    Good point. Hadn't thought of that.

    Is this a serious post?

    What possible reason could there be for us to NOT be always trying to improve the talent on the roster? Especially when we only are gonna have, at most, 79 guys on scholarship when fall camp starts as of right now?

    Mullen's strategy of finding grinders that aren't afraid to work hard and compete doesn't always jive with the thought process of elite receivers.

    Having Justin Blackmon and dez Bryant to point to doesn't hurt Oklahoma states recruiting of wideouts

    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.

    Just look in the NFL and the biggest prima donnas are at WR. Look at Dez, Desean Jackson, Beckham Jr., Cooks, Crabtree, and a ton from the past. A lot have that just throw me the ball attitude. Mullen doesn't typically like those type of players. JRob is about the only guy we have had like that and he started for 1 year before leaving. It also didn't seem to bother Mullen that he left early when we obviously didn't have the talent behind him to replace his production.

    Couch and Todd are not good enough to win football games for us this Fall. We need a ready to play transfer. College players understand it's a competition every day.

    Brewster helped but Koenning closed that signature
