‘23 IL WR Carnell Tate (Ohio State commit)

You’re a troll for Ohio State but I agree with you here.

Hartline just saying he thinks Ohio State gives the kid the best shot at being successful; I’m sure much like Pope feels the same way about Tennessee giving the best chance
Pope then sent out a tweet saying “men lie, numbers don’t”

I don't know how one can look at the highest level of CFB the last few years and say WR's are a dime a dozen. Running back's are a dime a dozen. The team with the best WR's won the CFB Championship in 2019,2020, and would have won it again in 2021 if all of their WR's didn't get hurt (coincidence?).

If WRs were a dime a dozen in this offense specifically, why did the WR rotation get trimmed to effectively just Tillman, Payton, and Velus after Florida? Yes, they got high production from guys who hadn't produced before, but they also sent Hyatt and the Holidays to the shadow realm in order to do it.

This isn't a statement on Tate, or that we won't be fine without him or whatever. But I think the idea that we can throw janitors in there at WR and be elite is crazy optimistic.
There are more recievers out there than running backs. It’s harder to find a quality running back than a receiver. You need both, it’s just easier to find recievers that you can coach up than a quality running back. More recievers than running backs out there. Especially for a staff like Heupel and company who have proved they can get the most out of receivers. I agree I don’t like the phrase dime a dozen because both positions are important. In fact if you want to compete for championships all positions are important. It still all starts in the trenches, if your not good there your not going to win. GBO!
