Tom Lemming spoke of this...no Indiana Tiger..it's not blown out the water...true most of the recruiting services are done by whites...maybe it was their lack of athleticism back in the day that says no way a white dude can do all of this...they simply DO NOT PASS THE "EYE TEST"...it acceptable to lose with black dudes; but heaven forbid you lose with white dudes...

ESPN's Top 100 WR's included only 7 or 8 whites( not including half a dozen bi-racial).... even the NFL is not that out of proportion

There will always be the politically correct gritty, blue collar overachieving; gets the most out of his ability little white WR's that will have to continue huff & puff their way probably as walk-ons like Welker, Nelson,Sanzenbacher, Abbederis, etc...to catch their attention...you have to have freakish video game numbers just to get noticed.

Randy Moss on FOX last night's half-time show had to remind/correct everybody Andrew Luck ran the same 40 time as Cam Newton & was just as athletic; after hearing someone say Luck did not look athletic...It's PERCEPTION....

White skill guys are going thru what the black QB endured in the 70's & 80's...plain & simple

& With Lester Earl...any white boy attempting to start at LB in the SEC...How dare DJ Welter fend off all challenges so far! He doesn't bother to see Chad Greenway & rookie Luke Kuechly led the NFL in tackles in the NFL! Don't have to be from the SEC!

Les Miles had a special talk w Quinn during the recruiting process on these perceptions & said "no way was he comparing him to Wes Welker"...FACT!

Year back I had a friend that was being recruited by D-1 Colleges out of HS as a QB...a injury hit his team...he had to move to tailback(a good one too)...& the colleges all backed off...he had to WALK-ON at NW La were he became a D-2 All American WR...became an undrafted free agent for the Carolina Panthers & was on the Saints Practice Squad for a while
