    Relative to other teams I agree. But the best that ISU currently has is Darks and Williams. They have proven themselves much more than any other WR on the team. After that, its a crapshoot.

    Re: WR Position

    Money WILL start, and the coaches WANT him to start.

    Any coach will prefer to play a heavily recruited 4-star player over any walk on. The 4-star will get every break, and second and third chances. It is truly his job to lose.

    Don't believe me? fine. but its the truth.

    Because others were hurt!

    Was Brian Peterson better than Wesley Johnson because he was starting while Wes was hurt?

    Re: WR Position

    Fine guys, I wrong and keep counting Williams out. Its the same stupid people who think Gary is going to have 1,000 yards receiving next year and Rashawn Parker is going to save the defense.. Keep dreaming.

    Show one post on this website where somebody says either of those two things. I am actually one of the guys who has said for the last 3 years that as long as Parker is a starting DE for ISU we are going to struggle on the line in the Big 12. Great heart, great hustle, undersized.

    I picked Gary to start but just for discussion purposes. I think he will be our fastest WR and get seperation when others can't. And I don't compare him to Carlson. Carlson didn't have offers from anyone else. Gary signed with an SEC school out of high school

    Couple people talk about Gary. http://www.cyclonefanatic.com/forum/...tball-wow.html (2 deeps for spring football.. wow!!!)

    And people have been all about Parker since he got hurt. Never mind the fact that he got 1 sack in 2008... in the last game of year.... against the worst team in the B12.

    Re: WR Position

    ISU's offense will struggle as long as the WR's cannot get off the line. Anytime ISU gets jammed, we are in trouble. Having Robinson in the backfield sure helps, without him and timely defense we would have been in trouble last season.

    Re: WR Position

    Our wide outs are going to have to get open and break away from their D-backs..This is a main reason Arnaud threw so many damn INTs. He has to try to squeeze every ball in a gap.

    They talk about him starting for the same reasons that I do but nobody expects him to have 1,000 yards receiving.

    WR is not the same as DT or OL. WR's don't need to be as mature as those positions. Really good athletes can come in and play from day 1 just b/c they have the talent. I believe that Gary has the talent

    Re: WR Position

    I will be surprised if Gary gets playing time this year at WR. He may play some special teams though.

    You could be right. Frankly if we want to be good one offense this year we need him or Young to come in and start for us. We need more talent at WR
