Chex is right on this one. Going to be an “earthquake” that I alluded to a few pages back.
That said - if we do get Perry Thompson and Ryan Williams, the craziest part is they are highly complementary.
Looked up video of both of them at camps against good DBs. It's funny in one of the under armor camps they were listed as the #1 and #2 guys who couldn't be covered.
Thompson is a big bodied guy who flat out bullies DBs
Williams is smaller but a silky smooth route runner who has burners... mid 10s 100m guy so he looks like he's jogging while separating from DBs
Both have fantastic hands and secure catches away from the body. Naturally adjust to the ball in the air. Would be a fantastic combo.
Cam Coleman is more similar to Thompson IMO. He's violent after the catch. Reminds me of Julio Jones in that respect where are there just bodies flying around as people try to tackle him.
Blocking - Cam and Thompson are both very physical blockers. Never know how that's going to translate but usually an athletic 6'3" 200lb WR has a physicality advantage in the blocking game.

This is also why you don’t stop recruiting guys when they commit elsewhere. Sure, there are some you cut loose, but you always have a few you keep trying for until the end.

Man I'm not buying in until I see it actually happen. I do think we get some of those dudes though.

I'd say 3 of those guys would be an earthquake. 4 would be a tsunami. All 5 would be the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.
If Hugh lands all 5, he deserves a statue built just for that.

So… who are you and what have you done with the old Stidham?

Are there any QBs we want or hope to get out of the portal?

I refuse to get hurt again.

Why would we not get a portal QB regardless of what Thorne does in the IB?Posted on 11/17/23 at 11:06 am to Stidham8

We’ve been down this road before and it did not work out for us and we were mad AF.

Agreed especially if Thorne is going to run as much as he has been lately. Chances of injury would seem high. At least we need someone behind him

According to sauces, there are some big upgrades from Throne that have already sent out feelers to Freeze.
