Okay.... the new strength coach is doing work. Cause Bear was a skinny guy last year. He's now 6'5" 225lbs.... I've never seen MSU have receivers like we do now.... wow

He's going to be tough to deal with this year for most CB's
Bear needs a shiny gold grill or a gold mouthpiece, I don't ever remember liking a true Soph WR as much as Bear Wilson.
Y'all can call me crazy, but I think Bear has a real chance to be a three year guy. I think he will bust out this year.
If he does and Jameon has a similar or better year than last we'd have 2of3 All-SEC type starting WRsQuote:

That's because we have some damn good speed at receiver. But Bear is still fast for his size.... and I doubt he'll ever lose a jump ball.Quote:

I agree with that.... but he will be a deep threat in one on one coverage. Not many DB's can't beat him on a jump ball.Quote:

Bear is just as fast as paidwell with a higher ceiling IMO.
Jeffrey is a good idea of where bear can get IMO. Bear just has to play like a bear. He has to be physicalQuote:

I don't disagree with Dan that we should use Bear's size and physicality or that's he's not our fastest guy- but that doesn't mean he won't be our best guy.
I agree there is that potential. But if it happens, it will be due to an all American year for Dak. I'm talking Top 5 year or better.
Bear has some kind of potential. I just want us to use him in 'lightning strike' moments like what he did to LSU on the long TD and OM on the major 1st down conversion.
We win a game vs Bama, LSU, or a major bowl with Bear being on the highlight reel, your prediction could come true, but only if we are in the title hunt.
I'm a huge fan of Bear, but he definitely "created separation" against LSU on that TD man. But hey if you get away with it, I love it.Quote:

This is true. This occurred rite in front of us and by no means did he "burn" or "beat" that CB. but I think he can be awesome for us this year and beyond. A big physical possession reciever is irreplaceable, just ask Troy aikman how valuable #88 was.Quote:
