With DGB, Washington, and Lucas gone. Who is your Ace receiver this year?
Bud Sasser is the only name I recall hearing. Is he a 1000 yard 10 TD guy?

I can answer that.
No.
No.

We will see. I don't think Sasser is a 1000 yd guy. We should have a platoon approach again at WR. We have some pretty good but untested talent there. I'd expect some drop off.

Ace? TBD.
Sasser will be good.
I'll be honest. I wasn't real crazy about our WR corps going into last year, and they took everyone by surprise.
I feel the same this year. The guys to look for will be Sasser and White. We definitely don't have the size we had last year. It will be interesting. No DGB will hurt, but there are some wild cards, we've moved Marcus Murphy to the slot, he was a RB last year. That will at least add a wrinkle.
This team will be a more ground and pound than last year. We have depth on the line, and a nice RB setup.
The WR's will be more possession type than game breaker type.
Sasser will be good.

Well if Mauk is going to put up numbers like everyone says he has to throw it to someone...

Mauks not going to put up numbers like everyone is saying.
Don't believe the hype bro.
It's going to be balanced as frick. Mauk is too green. No reason to lean on him too much, there are other weapons.

I agree with this. I admit I was trolling a bit with my first answer, but it takes a special talent to get 1000 yards and double digit TDs in the SEC.
That's not to say they won't be bad, but 1000 yards for a brand new starter? Pushing it.

Fair enough. But what is falls projections for Sasser? And do you think he will be your bonified best receiver?
Posted on 8/22/14 at 1:46 am to Recruitingjunkie
No idea man.
Way too many variables.
The line will protect, the running game will be solid, and Mauk has a great presence.
Beyond that, it's up to guys to step up.
Sounds to me like you might be picking for a CFB fantasy team. If that's the case, take Sasser as a late round guy. Everything is there for those guys to perform and excel, and Sasser is first on the list.
But, don't sleep on Murphy, that guy will get lots of touches, and is elusive as frick.

Honestly none of the upper classmen are studs. They're all pretty good but nothing special. I'm most excited about a couple true freshmen receivers, but I don't expect anyone to put up great numbers. It will be spread around to 5 or 6 guys, even a couple TEs and backs.

Well I'm trying to decide who to start between Sasser, Diggs and Charone Peake as my 5th receiver. My other receivers are Amari Cooper, Laquon Treadwell, Jameon Lewis, and Malcome Kennedy. Its just coincidence they are all SEC. Its an AQ conference league. My backups besides Sasser and Peake are Mitch Matthews (BYU number 1 WR) and Stefon Diggs.

But my QBs are a tad different. My RBs are TJ Yeldon, Trey Williams, Kelvin Taylor, Jonathan Gray, and Keith Marshall. Start 3
QBs are Sean Mannion, Davis Webb, Jake Waters, Christian Hackenberg, Kenny Hill, Cyler Miles. Can only start 3 tho

IF we have a WR go for 1000 yards it will most likely be Jimmy Hunt. That being said, we will not have a 1000 yard receiver.
Posted on 8/22/14 at 7:43 am to Recruitingjunkie
Jimmie Hunt is a 1300/12+ type of guy. He has great quickness and is very strong. He is probably the best all around WR we have had in a long time.....IF he stays healthy.
Darius White and Sasser will be the other starters. Darius White has a ton of talent but unknown because of limited reps to this point. I think he was the #1 or #2 rated WR recruiting wise in the state of Texas when graduated.
Before last year and Hunts injury/weight issues, he was at an asinine rate of a TD every 5 touches or something crazy like that. He scored on KO returns, runs and catches.

No, he's not. Our WR corps has taken a lot of hits, and is likely going to be pretty average this year. Hunt and Sasser are two guys who have played a bunch. White is the other starter. We'll be lining Murphy up in the slot some and hope to get some big plays that way.

How quickly we forget DGB...

Speaking of WRs did anyone see GMc's best WR Corps picks?

You should have referred to Danario. DGB couldn't run block for shite and let the football get into his body way too much. His routes were very inconsistent and he wasn't good at the presnap reads. They had to dumb everything down a lot for him. DGB had the most potential of any Mizzou WR in history but he was nowhere near the level of a guy like Danario.

Ok you can have Danario, and i will gladly take DGB without the off field issues.
If we force fed DGB like Gabbert force fed Danario, he would have had 20+ TD's last year and 1500+ yards easily.
And I'm sure Danario's run blocking wasn't much to write home about, but i didn't watch that part of his game too closely
