I'd honestly say he's our biggest need currently. Can't tell you how many times I've seen our WRs get bitched on routes this year. Not only do their hands suck but contact in the secondary is something you can easily get away with in NCAA. If the ball isn't in the air and you're not tackling the WR, you can make contact all day.

Our WRs look slow and never open because they can't run crisp routes. It's not their speed, they just keep getting knocked off whatever route they run.

We need RSJ bad. We have Leslie and possibly Avery Johnson but I'm not sure they're the "big" WR we're looking for. We have no idea how they'll turn out. Quite honestly, I wish LSU would stop recruiting the smaller WRs unless they plan to use them in the slow more. We've never had success with smaller guys and traditionally, we've always had big WRs who could go up for the ball or help a QB with accuracy problems with his long arms/body. Must've been Billy Gonzales infatuation with small, fast WRs is why we're seeing too many on the roster currently...thanks Billy G. for trying to make this Florida's offense under Miles.

We're a power offense but we lack a big WR. Doesn't make sense. Same goes for blocking on the perimeter. Although, Landry is a very good blocking WR.

I hear what you are saying about small wrs. which one of our wrs would you not have recruited coming out of h.s. shep, obj, landry, (boone, wright last minute replacements for hunter, davis). we have to take the best players in the state. so in 2014 we will ABSOLUTELY take Noil, Quinn. can't stop taking small wrs.

This is the only part I can't agree with. Odell's sucess last year was mostly due to Randle taking the heat off him. The speedy guys are great as long as we have that one last piece to the puzzle. Someone brought it up on the rant, none of these guys where supposed to be #1 recievers, we've just missed on those big primaries lately as a consequence of our running game being the feature over the last few years.

I think it was Billy G's infatuation with not recruiting for shite
