I rate our current roster as one of our weakest position groups. It will rely on unproven talent basically from the 2019 class. With that in mind I think Rosemy is a great get but would have hoped for better support from one of the top 10 receivers and had not given up on Jarrett. Only time will tell if the 2 projects pan out.
Houston insider not giving up just let
When did 4star WRs become projects ?
But for every Mecole, there's an Akhil Crumpton. It seems strange to me that if having to choose between Sewell and Flowe, or Van Pran and Raym, or Gilbert and Washington that we'd save a spot for Wren instead. But this staff is all about versatility and being able to deploy diverse weapons.
I'm not trying to ruffle feathers and I said my piece yesterday on WRs. Happy about Rosemy...still not sure why Wren.
I would like to say that IMO you can still be a fan and NOT think this is the greatest WR class since sliced bread. Obviously I'm a broken record so I'm staying mum but when y'all ask what people think about the class, differing opinions are OK. I don't speak for @jusdowell but I'm personally not calling for anyone to be fired because of WR recruiting. Go Dawgs!

LSU and Bama are the only other teams where he is outside of their top 10 recruits. He is only in our top 15 because we only have 14 commits. Kid runs a 10.4. John Ross got drafted in the top ten for that level speed. Let's all just take a minute to realize how spoiled we are
John Ross got drafted for his speed for sure: unfortunately outside of his speed he's nothing more than an average receiver. Al Davis would have loved John Ross.
@BengalDawg John Ross was literally the fastest time in combine history and was by all accounts, a bust.
I think it’s great to have a super fast receiver, but speed doesn’t mean a thing if you can’t run routes, even if you have size. DK metcalf ran a 4.33 and was 6’4 215 all muscle, still fell out of the first because he hasn’t shown he can run great routes. Speed matters, but there’s a whole lot more to being a good college receiver than being able to beat a corner on a go route.
Its not really about best available here. Every player you mentioned is a better football player than Wren but after Drob leaves this year, we have 1 more player at WR that runs a 4.4 in Bush who’s also still battling to get better. Staff needed someone with that speed and Wren fits the bill.
1 is the #60 WR in this class who I think has not played WR very much. The other is a speedster who has limited receptions based on his tape and is unlikely to come down with a 50/50 ball. JMO and as I said time will tell. Also I can't lose sight of the fact that we are in a different league now nationally and to win it all takes a more rounded offense. Look at Alabama's WR room last year, that's the type of talent we need to have. In 2017 they had 4 of the top 12 WR in that one class.
It's not even the greatest WR class since 2019 ;-)
Regarding Wren, we recruited a 3 star, 5'8" 175 lbs "WR/RB" a few years back. He was fast and shifty but didn't really fit the mold of what the typical WR profile was. Also, he sort of came as a "package deal" even though the staff at that time thought they could work him into the scheme. They did and even though he wasn't one of the top receivers during his time here, he made a big enough impression to be drafted into the NFL.
His name.........Isaiah McKenzie.
Point being, I could see the staff looking at putting the ball in his hands at anytime, including special teams...
JRob will move up the rankings during his senior season. You can save this and throw it back at me when im wrong.
If i recall correctly,He transferred schools and had to sit out, then was injured which effected his tape, thus his ranking. Senior year will change some minds in the recruiting Industry.
Robinson, Rosemy, and Wren joining D-Rob, Blaylock, Pickens, Cager, and Bush.
I have zero complaints about that list.
