There are some very good WRs at LSU and JJ has as much physical talent as anyone.

Now that I've changed a few vowels & consonants around in your previous sentence, you do realize how nebulous that statement is, right?

I said that their talent was decent, but probably not ready for year 1. Keep in mind this guy has had Chase Keenum, who was a 4th & 5th year player when he (& don't forget Sumlin) had him at Houston. On top of that, he had Wheeden, who was a former pro-baseball player who was significanly older (25+) when Holgerson got to him. Blackmon was just a freak that nobody really expected that kind of thing out of.

There's a context with Holgerson. I personally think he's a fantastic innovator and one of the best offensive coaches the game's seen recently. He was in a bad personal situation there in Morgantown, and the jury's completely out on his recruiting ability.

But, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I pretty much already made the point that they may surprise people, but are downgrading in talent across the board on offense.

If you wanna play a hypothetical game-right now-and let me choose Wheeden & Blackmon over WVU's cast of offensive character, and allow them to both be coached by Holgerson, well, then, how much money do you have on you? I wanna lay down a bet.

In other words, WVU's got talent, but its not as good as what he had last year, and Geno Smith or Chase Keenum? Hmm...That's a push, and for that to be said when comparing an AQ vs a Non AQ? Wow.

So, again, like I said, he's downgrading talent. If you're telling me otherwise, well, we'll just agree to disagree.
