The Cowboys landed a productive playmaker on the outside.
Pathetic. This is how you end up at the bottom of the Big 12… and stay there
“Playmaker” LOL. Were they playing Canadian teams? That was one of the toughest highlight tapes I’ve ever seen

Dude looks legit. A lot of good football played at the D2 level, it’s typically not a talent difference with D1, just a size and speed difference. He has the size and appears to have the speed. Should translate well!

If you can catch the ball there he can catch it here , getting it to him is the question

How do you want us to spend our money exactly? Is wide receiver some huge position of weakness? Is he going to start over Shettron? Shotomide-King? You want us to go out and spend big for what? WR4? WR5? Everyone crapped on bringing in Leon Johnson III and he ended up being a nice piece. When you’re grabbing depth guys, I think spending a little on a low risk, high reward player is a good idea.
We probably could stand to spend some money on defensive starter-level players, but I don’t want us blowing NIL on depth pieces. Not every transfer is going to be sexy. You need backups and insurance. This is an OSU blog in April. They’re going to be reported on all things OSU including unsexy filler transfers.

Are we still pretending Shettron is ever going to step up? Did you really just defend your opinion with Sodomite-King? We don’t have a receiver worth a dime. Leon Johnson was good? How old are you?
I guess I just disagree after producing Dez, Justin, James, and Tylan. If this is what our money is getting, then we need to switch gears. Might as well light it on fire. Explain how every other team in the Big 12 has better receiver than us? We spend more than most. Just stop with your excuses. Your complacency is why this program is falling and on the verge of never recovering. Wake up. Don’t let 2011 be the peak.

Hey champ,
This is the most unhinged post I’ve read on here in some time and Bill exists.
FIRST OF ALL: Did you just call our receiver a homosexual? What the heck. Your post was so deranged I’m not sure if that was an unfortunate autocorrect or if you’re just unreasonablely lashing out at everything because you’re a miserable human being.
How old am I? Well, you didn’t include Rashaun, so probably older than you. We had a solid receiver room, that’s part of why no one has stepped up. Stribling, Owens, Pressly were all very good and need the ball. We’re going to have guys step up this season. This receiver room is good too. I don’t know if we’ll have a Biletnikoff level player, but the thing about all of those guys you mentioned is that they were graded lower than Shettron, so if you don’t care about pedigree like that, I don’t know why you’re bagging on this guy, Cam Abshire. If three stars can pull in Biletnikoffs, a DII guy can contribute. Yes, Leon Johnson was very good. He was a guy that stepped up after multiple injuries and was productive and made some big time catches. Any team in the Big XII would thank their lucky stars if they had Leon Johnson be their third wideout option if their top two guys went down.
2011 is going to be the peak. That’s just reality. In this world, no Big XII team is winning the nat. Maybe they could make a title game and get thrashed like TCU did in the four team system. The power players in the SEC and Big 10 have so much more money than us it’s ridiculous. We’re approaching all time competitive disadvantage. We’d never be able to pull off that 2011 team in today’s system. If the landscape shifts again, then maybe. If they cap player salaries or make some move like that, that’s our only shot. Our ceiling is probably win the conference, win a playoff game.

Amen, man. Receiver is way down on my list of concerns for next season. Some people take any news and just spin it around in their head until it’s proof that the program is in free fall.

Rashaun wasn’t close to any of those. He was good start. I had season tickets during the entire Simmons and Miles eras.
“What the heck”
Y’all are too cute. Just to be clear your argument is I use harsh words and that Shettron is as good as Rashaun Woods? You follow that up with every Big 12 team would be lucky to have Leon Johnson as 1st option if they had injuries.
Dude… can I post this for comedic purposes elsewhere?

what group would you call solid? We need an entire new team. Don’t spin this as some genius GM play. LOL
When was the last time Oklahoma State was good without an NFL caliber receiver? Where does your logic come from?
It really is tough being surrounded by most OSU fans. Still stuck in the 90s. You said it yourself, “2011 was the peak.”
GTFO and don’t let the door hit you. We don’t need your kind or Gundy holding us back anymore. We’re ready

You just spend thousands annually and every day searching for updates because you don’t care, right?
I’ve been supportive of Gundy until now. I just don’t see how y’all can be so ignorant. I know you don’t want to believe reality, but it’s staring us right in the face. We’re in no better position than last year.
We’re not just getting left behind by the SEC or Big 10. We’re getting left behind by half our own conference. I’m sorry that makes me angry. And then to hear people comparing Leon Johnson and some guy with 1 catch to Tyreek Hill and Dez Bryant was just too much. Saying sh*t like “receivers don’t matter” and “ours are fine” We had no one outside of Presley and have the worst receiving unit I’ve seen in 20+ years at Oklahoma State University. Just stop man

Who said I was supportive of MG? At the end of the day it is sports, and I am not the one posting and going at people’s throats who disagree with me… Take a breath, it isn’t that serious. Your life won’t change much if we win a natty vs go 0-12 next year.
Also, not sure anyone was comparing Leon Johnson to Tyreek or Dez… Leon was good for what he was… a 3rd or 4th option. He had 33 catches for over 500 yards that season… not bad. Also was good enough to sign with the Chargers even if he got cut later that season… Most teams 3rd and 4th options are working a normal 9-5 after college.

Hey champ,
Ok, so you did decide to call someone gay because they (checks notes) haven’t played much yet. You are a real piece of work. I wouldn’t even care if he were like a bad person or something, but because he hasn’t caught a lot of balls for the team yet, he’s gay?
Yes, you may post this for comedic purposes elsewhere, just make sure you post your side. In fact, you should be forced to do it as a warning. You insulted someone’s home because he thinks you’re unwell which is a really unwell response.

I’d beg to argue that over the years it’s been OL. We could stand to spend some money there. Oh, and better coaching as well 
.
Maybe win the conference again before thinking about CFP or a Natty 
?
Rashawn Woods was a second-team All-American. Shettron isn’t on the field a lot. Then of course they use the injuries excuse. Never-mind the fact that we returned the most starters in the conference (second in the country) and found a way to go completely winless in the conference .
Which brings me to my next point. If you don’t have a good OL maybe you should focus most of your NIL assets there. If it’s coaching then perhaps bring in some good up and coming coordinators. Not a random D2 guy nobody has ever heard of, or a guy that’s been running the same five plays consistently for the last five years that every coach in America already has figured out.
