Kevin Thomas is no longer on the roster. He wasn't a major contributor, but I guess with Sutton's departure, he could have gotten more chances. Only WRs 6'2" or bigger are Alex Honey, Josh Shelmire and Tre Johnson.

Grad transfer on the horizon?

Well Dykes did stress that WR is the biggest position of concern for the staff. I would think we are a good looking option to a grad transfer WR - only like 7-8 on the roster, 1 incoming TF, and most don’t have a ton of previous production other than Proche. Plus they can expect a strong passing game with Dykes’s air raid influence.

Judah Bell 6'3, 200
WIll be interesting to see how Bell & Shelmire pan out. Small school guys, against weak competition, with big high school stats.

Didn't Morris or someone on his staff hype Bell as potentially the next Courtland Sutton? We can only hope.

Good point. Hope Bell develops into a stud ... quickly.

Apparently Sonny not impressed with the awesome Morris recruiting.

We need numbers more than a judgement.

Or maybe we just lost two underclassmen to the NFL. Either one.

I'm interested to see what Tyler Page does in his second year. Sometimes trashes a full year after knee injuries like his to get fully up to speed.

Bring in 3 GT's because 2 guys graduate. Has nothing to do with the other 13 receivers on the roster. Gotcha.

We only have like 7 scholie WRs on the roster right now. Need the GTs at minimum to get numbers.

Right. A recruiting and retention problem, not a graduation problem. That first class was bad, with Castille leaving, Thomas busting & leaving, and Honey an apparent miss.
I guess it's a coincidence, but Proche and Gailliard were June recruits, still productive and contributing. The 3 misses above were all Morris guys.
