Joseph is 6'1", 190#
Sims is 5'8", 170#

6'1" is okay size for a wide-out. We need a little height at that position.

yeah, but he's been playing receiver. Sims has been playing QB. June & Co. will put these great athletes where we can best use them like they did with Zach Line. recognize talent and ability and adjust.

Joseph was offered after that Nationally televised TV Game with Plant City (Fla). SMU coaches were watching and he caught 9 passes for 188 yards after Abilene decided to pass more since their stud RB Herschell Sims(Okla St) got hurt. He hasn't really put up big numbers except for that game although Abilene is more of a running team. They throw ball about 15-18 plays per game-more this year because Herschell Sims missed several games. He was hurt for much of his Junior year. He's a pretty good track athlete too scoring in multiple events

i really have wondered with our offense why we have not recruited a real top drawer reciever yet -and here we are in JJ's third yr. We have upgraded so many other positions - but frankly we are about the same as we have been under Bennet when it comes to receiver.

I dont understand why a green (Ga) or blackmon (OSU) type reciever would not see SMU as a great place to showcase. Combine that kind of size at outside receiver with a CUSA defense and our offense and they would have some sick numbers put up on the board - why cant we get that done?
