RBs I can see, but WRs?

We signed (4) 4-star receivers last year, including a Top 100 player.
McKinley, Claypool, Boykin, also 4 stars.

If your definition of having a player is having multiple 5-star recruits at a position....Alabama is the only team that has any players.


Boykin is gone,McKinley has a foot out the door, and

The three freshmen from last year didn't play against Clemson.


Brainfart on Boykin....

....is there news on McKinley other than the prevoius? Discipline? Word from his camp? Or are you just assuming he's going to leave?

I don't see how the fact that none of the (4) freshmen 4 stars played in the bowl game means they won't ever contribute. We haven't had too many freshman contribute under Kelly in the past. He likes experience, for better or worse.

Once would think that one of Austin, Lenzy, Keys III and Jones would be able to contribute this year....perhaps more than one.


If they don't contribute we will be in major trouble....

There were rumors that McKinley might transfer even b4 incident....


We were in a similar bind last year...

...and Boykin became a legitimate threat. Claypool also improved.

There are plenty of young guys to step up. Your claim that we have no talent at WR is erroneous.

RB is a more frightening situation.....Tony Jones Jr. seems to be a solid back, not a gamebreaker. Armstrong could be....but lacks much experience at RB.

After those two....yikes.


If we had running backs,Armstrong would make a good WR.. *
