Barnes was a given. And frankly a bit of a mixed bag.

Our best receiver. This one hurts.

When he caught the ball, he was dangerous, but when he didn’t, he ended drives

Really no different than all season. We didn't have a full time HC and we didn't have a full time OC. Hopefully next year we will have full time people in both of those positions. Then I hope he becomes the second best HC we ever had, and we win the confrence and a good bowl. But it only has a chance if we have full time in both positions.
Yup. Drink did it but he had a stacked roster.

Great player for us.

He was nice enough to go out of his way to take a picture with our crew after the UNCC W, so I’ll hold that memory for awhile about him.

Not sure if his size lends to the p4 jump but he can play ball.

This has Makai Jackson type vibes.

Interesting comments from another father of a player. And some more comments from an ex player/alumni I believe who seems to be in the know.

That’s 2 outspoken parents as of late. Hmmm

Shoot, I’d love 1 1200 yard receiver…but 3!!! That seems impossible. Have we ever had a 1200 yard WR?

I feel like some of this may get lost in translation. “If you come here I can turn you into Xavier Legette” is different than promising every receiver 1,200 yards but the player may not see it that way.
