that is kind of surprising. Nunn doesn't seem to be that great to me. He has trouble holding on to the ball.... he does have a lot of experience, this year he will be OK if he can just catch the ball!

I think Purify will wind up being one of the best receivers in the country by the end of the season. The first NFL caliber WR to come out of NU for well....a long a$$ time.

PS - looks like nunn has a beer belly.

I disagree, T-Nun is quite good for his size. He runs great routes.

Speaking of Purify, He loves his bowling. I see him at Sun Valley at least once a week. Apparently he started a couple years ago and has already bowled a 300.

Pic of him and some of my friends:

Runs great routes, gets open so the ball can get to him, but he needs to catch it before he is "Quite good" in my book. If you are a Quite Good receiver you shouldn't drop the ball, thats your main purpose of existence.

 
IMO, Todd Peterson is going to emerge as the next best WR after Purify. He's tall, gets open, and catches the ball well. He's also going to be overlooked early with Purify, Nunn, and Swift getting the attention.

 
Think about what this is saying. Callahan turned the worst WR corp into the best in three years.
Exactly!

In time folks (be patient) the talent will cacth up . We will get deep at all positions with talent. That and Calli is learning the college game. He will get it right real soon IMO.
