A lot of people on here seem to be drinking the Niles Paul is it really that sweet b/c it seems more times than not for me it's sour.

no offense but i think you are crazy.

 

Kinnie is mostly unproven, a good catch or 2 in the spring game does not make a good receiver. Mcneil was a good TE but hasnt played a down as receiver yet. Henry is 6'6" and thats about it, what has he proven.

 

Paul is by far our best receiver and i dont think anyone is going to dethrone him this season either. Kinnie has a chance but i just dont see it. Paul gets better separation than the rest and minus mcneil has better hands than the rest as well as route running, there is really no one else close.

 

You guys are INSAINE lmao kinnie by far is the best reciver lol He steps up in BIG GAMES ,paul has that off and on switch and you never knoe when hes gonna show up. And also kinnie has good ball skills you see how he handeled that ball against the huskies on that 55 yard catch that was a TD ? He still got my attention in the game against texas late in the game I say let teams double team him Mcneil and Kinnie will make big plays and they will hang on to the ball and keep drives going

What "big games" has Kinnie stepped up for? Two catches vs Texas doesn't qualitfy in my books, and I need to smoke what you are if any of these three games this year were a "big game." I love Kinnie but do it against a real secondary and a defense that plays tackle football no two hand touch and I'll be the first person on that boat.

 

PS Thank god Kinnie has huge hands, because he holds the ball like a loaf of bread when he is running.

 

what ever dude

Wow, facepalmed for asking for legit answers. Good theories for backing your arguement

FYI. BK has relatively small hands for a guy his size. He was giving away some of his old practice gloves in the dorms last year and they fit my hand perfectly and I'm about 5 inches and 100lbs smaller than him.

I think we have a lot of talent at receiver right now...

 

Niles Paul is rated as one of the top players coming out of college this next year at the receiver position. There is a VERY good chance he will be drafted somewhere in the first 3-4 rounds.

 

Brandon Kinnie came on strong at the end of the season last year. Once he got his routes and the playbook down he really started to shine. I think he's gonna do big things this fall... and he'll be here next year to add to it.

 

Mike McNeill has lost some weight, gained some speed, and we all know he can catch and run routes well. I think the fact that he is a dual threat at the TE position and WR position will allow us to run some offenses that disguise our plays. I also forsee him have the ball in his hands a lot this season.

Stanley Jean Baptiste is going to be a good one... he'll sit out the first half of the season and then get playing time the second half of the season... look for him to have a year like Kinnie did last year and come on strong at the end of this season.

 

Quincy Enunwa is also going to be great... he was a steal of last years recruiting class and was underrated as a recruit. He was just getting comfortable with the game and the position his senior year of high school and really impressed by the end of the year. I see him red shirting this year and then being a contributor next year and a starter his sophomore year.

 

 

I don't see Currenski Gillyean, Khiry Cooper, Will Henry, Antonio Bell, Kenny Bell, and Tyler Evans being great this year... the freshmen will redshirt, and the others will contribute some but I don't think they'll do anything amazing.

Solid post! I'm with you on the majority of your picks. Niles Paul is arguably one of the top five wideouts going in to next season. I also think Brandon Kinnie is very good. I think he has the size and talent to play in the NFL someday. Khiry Cooper's routes are fluent and he has very good hands which is why i feel he'll be a pretty good player for us. My fourth choice at wideout is Quincy Enunwa. I have a really good feeling about him. I feel that he can contribute this year.

 

I think the depth chart could look something like this:

Z: Niles Paul, Antonio Bell, Joe Broekemeier

X: Brandon Kinnie, Quincy Enunwa, Tim Marlowe

Y: Khiry Cooper, Will Henry, Stanley Jean-Baptiste

H: Mike McNeil, Currenski Gilleylen, KC Hyland

 

Antonio Bell is second string at Corner. He comes in for Alfonzo in the 4th quarter.

Ill take that bet

 

i will make a friendly wager that paul doesnt get drafted in the first 4 rds. i could be off kilter and obviously unpopular on this subject but im willing to stick my neck out to make this statement.

me too...he will go in the third or fourth round...and mcneil was completely underutilized last year...i think he could get back to some high production numbers if we use him correctly

 

this weekend will tell.... even though we haven't wagered anything i think we can all agree that he is not the receiver anyone thought he had the potential of being. granted we ran an option based offense this year but he had chances to come up big in games and failed to do so.

Heh. Miles Paul defenders.

 

Don't get me wrong. The guy is a husker, through and through. That said, I think he hurt us almost as often as he helped us.
