After watching our games from last year...i think not.

He was turrable. Brick hands, zero elusiveness, ran pitiful routes and gave shite effort when the ball wasnt going his way.

He was literally the Jake Holland of wide receiving, sans the Prayer in JH

Ricardo was a really solid player rushing & receiving for 3 years at Auburn. Yea, he has a few bad games. but he earned his strips.

Ricardo Louis in his career had 1338 receiving yards & 8 TDs

Rushing he had 578 2 TDs & 230 return yards

Ricardo could have dropped every single pass thrown at him after 2013 UGA and I would not have given a shite

He could've been an elite DB if he had the disposition to play defense. But you're right, terrible hands. On offense he never should've been anything more than a role player, so I think it's more of an indictment on the coaching staff that he was the best we could trot out last year at WR.

Like it or not he's forever an AU legend. He gave us one of the best moments in Auburn football history and without him Auburn has one less SEC championship. I am grateful for his time on the Plains.

DeAngelo Benton

Not saying he was "bad" but I used to cringe whenever we would throw it to Karsten Bailey. It seemed to me that he dropped every IMPORTANT pass that came his way.

Tim Hawthorne under performed relative to his HS rating.

I never understood why.

Any receiver not named Ricardo Louis on Auburn's 2015 team was worse.

I agree. I just got really pissed off watching the offensive plays from last season. The fact he was used as the jet sweep guy still blows my mind.

And to the other WRs being mentioned, they were not the number one WR target for the team.

Early in his career, I think maybe spring of his freshman year, Hawthorne was in a car accident in which one of his best friends was killed. He never recovered mentally while he was at AU.

"Why" is a relevant question.

Probably because he averaged 10+ yards the previous two years running jet sweeps?

What? Duke is the best WR to play for AU in a decade. He just was stupid as hell.
