For 2008, here's what the Wildcats lose at the WR position... 122 receptions, 1606 yards, 11 TD, and a sure handed receiver. Jordy, thanks for the contribution last year (heck, for the past three).
Coming back are the following: SR Deon Murphy, SR Ernie Pierce, SO Lamark Brown, and SR Cedric Wilson. Impressive, just plain impressive.
JUCO influx: JR Adrian Hilburn (already on campus), JR Brandon Banks (all 5'8" of him), JR Aubrey Quarles and JR Attrail Snipes.
H.S. additives: NONE (unless a walk on wants to step up a la Jordy).
Keep your eye on JR Matt Wykes. Played at Butler County CC, but more importantly, I met his sister whilst out at the bars in Ames, IA after the Wildcats loss to the (mighty) Cyclones. She said he'll be big in 2008. And when Matt Wykes sister speaks, she speaks the truth.
Like I said in the post below, don't expect too much out of the JUCO guys (at least not until the 2nd to last game or so). That means Deon (I Don't Wanna Go To Class) Murphy has to step up. But wait, he has to miss the Spring practices b.c of academics. YEAH!
Ernie... time to SHINE. At 6'4", he'll be the tallest receiver (with a bunch of 6' and under guys). And Lamark... so much was expected of Lamark before last year. Maybe with a year under his belt as a receiver, he'll get a few more catches. Heck, might be tough to beat that 3 catch mark in 2007.
GRADE: D+
