IIRCC - Bear didn't even play football until his SR year in HS. So, he basically learned to play WR in the SEC. That takes a helluva athlete - regardless of his actual speed.

It makes me laugh at how differently our fans react to a 4* signee vs. our friends in Oxford - MSU: "he's really overrated, had no other 'committable' offers (even though 247 shows Texas, Oregon, OM and UGA)"; OM: "our 4*s are the greatest!!!!! They should really be 5* they are going to change the program!!!!"
