Whittemore looks more and more like a bust every day
Dortch was a bust
Harmon was a bust
Harvey had a heart condition so u/d on that one but I wouldn't say he blew anyone away.

I really wouldn't say he was this elite recruiter. He got guys who could catch balls, the primary job of a receiver, and we played an ass ton of WRs. Leach's offense made the WRs, not the other way around. It also wasn't Spurrier recruiting elite WRs. We missed on PLENTY. Now you're an AR guy so you have an affinity for anyone on that staff. I think that's probably the biggest thing here.
No, the biggest thing here is Jr can recruit and he gets his wrs ready. And thats the bottom line.

Lebby's offense blends Air Raid passing principles with a robust run game and play-action.

Whittemore never got to play under Leach nor Jr. To use him as an example of a bust is disingenuous. The reason he is mentioned is that Jr got him from Florida gators.

Z. Thomas likewise did not play under Jr or Leach. He was a true freshman. But he was productive at LSU.

Rara was consistent. His first year he had 18 catches while Polk set records. His 2nd year he took in 45 catches. Then UGA paid him.

Harmon, goes back to the same issue as Zavion. Who coached him? Barbay's people.

Again, not saying that Jr is the guy. I am saying it could be. And no, I would not be mad about it.
