Who will catch the football?

[CatManTrue]

We know Preston Stone can throw the football.

We know Porter, Himon, and the other guys can Pound the Rock.

The OL has Tiernan and a bunch of grizzled hogs that should be able to block for them.

So… who will CATCH the football when Stone throws it?

I have little confidence in the RBs. I'm hoping that Himon's appearance at media days means he's separated himself from the rest. Porter's 50 ypg ain't gonna do it.

We always complain that there are too many TE's on the roster. The TE is still an eligible receiver last I checked. I hope Coach Lujan has some plays in the book to make the tight ends earn their keep.

Need Ricky or Elgion to step up. We know Wilde will be solid

Magee is a WR.

Magee is a WR.

Is this like Whitaker at TE?

If Himon can actually be a multi-use weapon that's kinda a game changer on that front. SOMEBODY has to be explosive. If Wilde can play the Zeke Markshausen tough catch role that'll work.

Covey was a recruit that had a lot of posters excited. NU needs him and a couple of guys to break out & perform this season.

Magee is a WR.

Not according to the roster on nusports.com.

Draw your own conclusion.

I have hopes for Eligon. Big kid, looked good against ILL. He's not Kyle Prater, but I recall that Kyle took a long time to develop

Draw your own conclusion.

The line between a WR, an offline TE, an H back, etc., is and should be somewhat nebulous in a good system. I don't care what he's technically called if he's mostly running routes off the lone or splitting out wide and catching and-goal TDs.

Do you remember McCall’s circle terminology for positions in his offense? I recall that even @MrCat95 was confused ‍

X’s and O’s baby. QB’s throw and unless you’re blocking as an OL then you’re eligible.

Go make a play!

Well, it turns out we have one receiver who wants to play - Wilde - but few others.

NU doesn’t belong in the Big Ten if we keep recruiting like we have been. Teams can just load the box all day long and dominate us like Tulane did.

How come Boe and Magee got no playtime yesterday?
