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? Remember Obum being that guy! |

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. You effing "sunshine pumper"! 🤣 In all honestly, I totally get managing expectations. But like, you ain't gotta be a party pooper to do it. We all know none of them have played a down for us. |

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 played against Kitner in high school. It was like a that video of the mascots playing the pee-wee team. not my story, but an engineer I worked with about 20 years ago was a high school receiver for Russell High School in Great Falls, MT. Their QB was Ryan Leaf. I don't remember the details but he said the facemask was to protect you from 100 mph fastballs. |

Other? I think you're confusing him with Trimmer. Trimmer was a tall, long legged guy with great open field speed. He got open a lot deep and dropped more than his share of balls. Kintner had great ball skills, adequate but unexceptional speed at this level, but I don't believe ever adapted to the physicality of FBS play. Riley was really high on Kintner his freshman year when he redshirted. |

Riley was really high on Kintner his freshman year when he redshirted. Kint was a big (6-3) physical rangy guy with deceptive speed who had a knack for getting position and high-pointing the ball and soft hands that he used to make the catch away from his body. Sort of a bigger proto-Mike Hass. I think his biggest drawback was that he was just not a gym rat, he got by on his natural talent. Trimmer was a lanky 6-4 QB and safety with 4.6 speed and they moved him to wideout. He just lacked athleticism and explosion, and struggled to get separation. |

Trimmer was a lanky 6-4 QB and safety with 4.6 speed and they moved him to wideout. He just lacked athleticism and explosion, and struggled to get separation. yeah, Kitner was practically the biggest dude on the field of anybody, and he was a WR. I played FS and I distinctly remember him going up for some pass in the middle of the field, he was jumping and I just absolutely threw the entirety of my body into him with reckless abandon, and basically bounced off. I had to like, hold onto an ankle and start chewing to bring him down. He was so absurdly better than anybody else, particularly given the relative talent of the Mid Willamette Valley (the old Valley League) in the later 1990's. i do agree that I don't think he carrying the other effort into his OSU career. I think he leaned into that natural talent a little too much. Playing against him you though "Jesus, this dude is going pro!" but at OSU, he was...Okay? and that was that. Trimmer was a QB in high school, in a wing-T/flex offense, a local kid that played for Crescent Valley. At least he was QB the one time we played, he was a Soph, I think, my senior year. (I think. s%#t this stuff is almost 30 years ago now). |

I can tell you for sure that the opinion of his teammates was that he didn't put in the work. And then there was Keith DiDominico who walked around campus in his leather jacket chain smoking cigs, never working out, and just destroying every week in games. |

Yes, Seth was a QB on some very good CV teams that also included Bobby and Marcus Jackson, who played at Illinois. They are the songs of ex-OSU assistant Robert Jackson, one helluva great guy.

I remember thinking Villamin was going to be a beast but had inconsistent hands and could never put it together.
