'20 AZ WR Brenden Rice (SIGNED to COLORADO)
- Thread starter WasianCU
- Start date
Apparently not that great. You seem unable to finish the task.
I don't blame him for leaving, wish he wouldn't at the same time. Dude has plenty of pressure with who his dad is, only the best wr of all time. Won't get into their relationship, that's their business. Wish him luck.
Give him the video from the other thread with the midget and the one legged girl.
You guys have excessive standards. Granted he can't throw to his left. It's fine he can't throw to his right. It's not a problem that his release is so low they will all be blocked at this level. I don't forsee any issues that when pressured he turns his back to the line of scrimmage. I am confident that if the new (unknown) wr coach plays 7'0" receivers with wicked speed to catch up to the overthrown balls down the middle, the guy is the next Tom Brady. Every problem/sssss have a solution.

Doesn’t school start soon? When do these kids decide?
this breaks my 49er heart
Someone needs to explain to me again how the portal will help ALL teams and it's only fair to the players after all.
CU could be perfectly optimizing the NIL and this **** would still be happening. We could be getting less pillaged, but we'd be getting pillaged.
Really dumb system for "competitive sports".

Don't blame the NIL on the transfers. This all starts with RG hiring an idiot to run the program.
Given our fan base, if Rick would have played it perfectly, I still think CU comes out the loser in most of these deals. Dollars speak and this program doesn't have those weapons to compete. I've said it for a year now, but Nebraska is going to bid on every player we develop. Not just Nebraska but that hurts more so I use it. They can shop and we are never going to be in a good spot to match it. Lets quit kidding ourselves.
I suspect you are more right than wrong.
I really liked Brenden Rice, he was obviously under-utilized in Boulder. I am hoping he will have success... However with the addition of two likely first round picks transferring into USC, Rice is suddenly the odd man out. Oops.
And that’s not even considering the WR talent they always/already had in place. There was no guarantee Rice was going to be a regular starter before USC brings in the best WR in the country. Truly sad, as he clearly would have been WR1 here. I am regularly astonished by the choice so many kids make to place themselves behind a ton of talent at the big schools, risking riding the bench (playing Special Teams) when they could be the star at another school, even with a worse record on a worse team. You have to be on the field to get enough tape to make it to Sunday. That tape doesn’t have to be prime time/ESPN game of the week.

Rice is going to start for USC. He's that good.
He will certainly get the chance and yes he is good enough to lock up a starting job. If he is as good as he expects himself to be he will only be at USC one year.
Riley put a lot of WRs into the draft at Oklahoma. If Rice performs like he is capable of it would be no surprise if he isn't in the top half of the draft next year.
Even if he doesn't start a 3rd or even 4th WR under Riley's system may get more opportunity to shine than the top WR at CU trotting back to the huddle or sideline after his QB is flushed or sacked again.
And if what was mentioned someplace on this board before is true his NIL money already make him much better off financially than he would be at CU.
I hate $C but considering where our program is right now it's hard to blame a young man for deciding to bet on himself and take the opportunity to be a part of a program with playoff aspirations and a coach with a history of getting guys drafted.
At the least, he will get a lot of targets, get a lot of exposure, win a lot of games, and get paid well.
He's going to be a soul crushing joy to watch
As TSheck pointed out, even if he’s Wr 3-4 at U$C, he’ll have better numbers than being WR1 under a Sanford directed offense.

I wish him well. But he was kinda the odd man out in the Spring game. Didn’t get any separation. He was clearly 3 option. And that was before Addison came. I think he struggle to get on the field.
You know, USC is going to roll teams and backups will be playing by mid 3rd quarter putting up stats similar to CU starters. Gonna be like Chip's Duck teams and some of the recent Bama squads.
Eh, maybe, but probably not. Again, with 3 of the best offenses in the country and Heisman winning/caliber QBs at OU, WR3 stats in those offenses were around 30/350/2.
We're at the How-Long-Until-My-Ex-Girlfriend's-New-Beau-Cheats-On-Her phase of AllBuffs.
