Rob, what the hell are you doing working on Easter!
Appreciate it, but go spend some quality time with your family for God's sake...

ISM, B. Smith and Bell (Easley 4 wides) and Stanley. Now THAT is a potent offensive attack down field. You know, this kid has to be priority #1 in '19 and get his butt on the field day 1. His fundamental mechanics are a given. This kid is big, fast, smooth, natural and fluid. He's a must get.
Did he say anything at all about his opinion of Stanley?

Hoping to spend the rest of the day with my family. Just took a bit of time to catch up with Bell after the Easter Bunny activities this a.m. I know people were interested to hear from him.
I did not ask about Stanley. He would at most be playing with Nate for one year, though.

Your forgetting Wagner as well (I hope) But a kid like this Bell could really be a program booster. He's a smooth runner with the football once he has it in his hands. He's not just a tall long guy that can jump. He can really run.

We have got to land Bell. It has been such a drought on bona fide receivers. We really need to land this kid and then make sure he does exceedingly well here. Like get him drafted well. This could help break the cycle and repair our image of a WR wasteland.
Years ago I thought Keenan Davis would be that guy. Injuries and inconsistency kinda derailed him. Plus he overlapped with McNutt and then KMM. They took a lot of touches that may have went to him. I dunno I thought he was underutilized and could have been a heck of a lot more than he ended up being. So we keep looking for the next one.
Didn't help his Sr year was the transition to the Davis offense, for which he was absolutely not a fit. It's a shame, too, he was so damn physical for a WR. Not afraid to block, and would consistent'y drag tacklers for extra yards too.

Yeah for whatever reason KMM seemed to be who Davis favored. I couldn't see why Davis wasn't more successful. He was like 6'3 215. He wasn't slow by any means and as you said played physical. But he was just kinda invisible out there at times.

Yes sir! So under utilized in fact that I litteraly forgot about him.

Was there anyone that Davis didn't underutilize?
Except for perhaps the punter...

Rob I missed this post for 2 months, but the operative word is "criminally." TS just could not be covered deep AND he rarely dropped. TS was a true weapon downfield. We died without shooting all of our bullets on that one.

boy...OSU and PSU with Iowa's passing offense? I would say PSU on this one.

The Hawks passing could be just as good. If we land a player or 2 of this caliber we just might see a change in the offense.

Honestly I don't know how we have stayed in with this kid this long. Our recruiters must be getting better. There are zero similarities in the coaches of these 5 schools. So David must love something about us. We should have a black and gold Telsa dropped off in this kids driveway while he sleeps with the title and keys in the front seat. Purchased with Bitcoin of course.
Yeah I seem to remember a pretty high caliber kid from just down the road going to OSU. Wonder how those hemorrhoids are doing from riding the pine.
The same OSU we destroyed without any experience at receiver? Trust me, if you are any good, you will find pt here. Granted they are going to ask you to block (people make a big deal out of that) the same way others will block for you.

4th, it isn't about playing time so much as it is about how you are utilized within that playing time.
