ESPN - Phil Steele's top 15 WR Corps

Advertisement
Vanderbilt needs to be about 10 spots higher.

Steele always has FSU insanely high for everything, but even #2 for that group is just so odd. It's an extremely similar group to what Miami has (but with only 3 of the top 5 coming back rather than 5), I guess he's projecting Benjamin and Greene to completely go off with a freshman QB?

Very weird list overall.
 
He must of watched the prime time tv Notre Dame game last season.

I don't have Insider so cannot review the list, but I think many here overhype our receiving talent, at least from the perspective of preseason rankings.

Hurns: a solid possession receiver, but I would not consider him a world beater.
Dorsett: has outstanding speed, and did make some big plays last year, along w/ a few glaring drops. he has not shown he should be anywhere near an All American list, at least not yet. Probably, an all-ACC wr.
Lewis: coming off a major injury so you cannot rely on him for preseason predictions
Waters and Scott: both showed some glimpses, but they certainly have not dominated the ACC thus far.
Carter and Jones: have they done anything notable in a game?
Coley: phenomenal potential, but he's a true freshman. basing preseason predictions on a true freshman is ill advised.

This is actually a very fair assessment.

In many cases you would be right JB, but it's hard not to throw the talent we have at that position in the top 15. I would say we are probably the deepest talent wise in the country.

I'm not doubting at all that we do have a top 15 wide receiver corps talent wise. I was just making the comment that no one should be surprised that we don't show up on many of these lists because the team overall has done nothing in almost a decade.
 
Why are you guys surprised were talking about the guy who has v tech as the second best team in the acc and has Stephen Morris tied as the acc's 4th best qb with that Winston kid

It's not important for Steele to know about our receiver corps.

It's only important for Us to know about our receiver corps.

A team that has won more than 7 games once in the last 5 years isnt going to be ranked high on very many lists. Can't understand why some cats don't get that.

I would buy this except your theory gets debunked when Steele ranks Washington #7th.. And they haven't won crap longer than us.
Steele is a formula number cruncher guy that spits out these head scratching rankings every so often.
Important thing is we know what we have and with Morris throwing the ball no reason why our WR's won't be putting up big time numbers.
