This offense is bonkers on paper. On paper we have the 3 best WRs we have every had in our entire history, by a long shot. FWIW, i am not on X or whatever, but he tweeted "Corvallis, I am here!" with some beaver emotes and build the dam hashtag. That was about 3 hours ago. Sounds like Bray knew what was missing. Glad he noticed.

Somebody please apply the brakes. The best ever? Have they played a single down for us? Potential is a way to look at what somebody MIGHT do. I'd rather compare what they have done. IF they meet the accomplishments of oh I don't know say Brandin Cooks and Markus Wheaton (who were on the same lineup for a couple of years) then let's anoint them the greatest.

It's all in context of recruiting rankings. They are all higher rates than Cooks or Wheaton, that doesn't mean they will have better careers but it is exciting.

He clearly said "on paper" which means they have not played yet. Nobody is anointing them the greatest since the whole conversation has been in the context of "on paper" and "potential."

Our 1998 receiving corps was incredibly deep, albeit ultimately not as accomplished professionally as the 2000 group: Tompkins, Alexander, Prescott, Ainsworth, Battle, Maurer. Battle averaged 18 yards a catch, Tompkins 15.
1999 was a great crop too, Housh, Percoats, Prescott, Tompkins, Kintner, Monjero Jones, Maurer. Tompkins averaged 21 yards a catch.
Tompkins was one of my favorite all-time Beavs. He had 117 career receptions despite playing with an option QB in 1996 and an unpolished one (Alexander) in 1997. If he played today, or with Canfield and Mannion, he would have almost doubled that. The "Texas Tornado," he could really fly. Three of his four seasons he averaged at least 15 yards a catch.

I remember when Alexander graduated Riley was quoted as saying he wished he had two more years with Tim as a receiver, in regards to how much potential he had. It would have been nice if he had been able to transition him to receiver a year earlier.

We are talking about their rank as recruits. These 3 are the best 3 rated recruits we have ever had at one time. But with that said, Don't tell me not to be excited. f%#* that. All gas, no brakes. National Championship here we go! You are free to fret and worry and wring your hands and I am free to proclaim this team to be the best that will every wear the OSU uniform. The 2024 Biletnikoff winner will be a 3 way tie between 3 Oregon State University receivers. McCoy AND Johnson are going 1-2 in Heisman voting. Trust me, It is a lot more fun being up in the luxury car of the this bullet hype train, waving at all the teams as we rip by at 200mph, than sitting in the backseat of debbie downers 1982 oldsmobile cutlass ceira station wagon as it slowly but surely rattles down the road, going 52 in the fast lane.

I played against Kitner in high school. It was like a that video of the mascots playing the pee-wee team.

I could easily be wrong, but what I remember about Kitner was huge upside, got open, couldn’t hang on to the ball. Possibly confusing him with Seth Trimmmer. Or they’re birds of a feather. Yes? No? Other?

Try tackling, be tackled, by Howard Harris, Rob Emmons, Don Cheek, and whomever the Corvallis DB was (Krakauer??) that gave a concussion on a lobbed circle route!
